- Enjoy a short video about folk tale raccoon dogs who are blessed with REMARKABLE... Courage. I'm honestly sorry I followed through with this whole video. Go watch Pom Poko.

Ah yes, the Tanuki. The ''ballsiest'' Yokai.
They are absolutely "ballin".
I think it's their nsfw tesicle humor that keeps them from being more well known or prevalent in the West.
Yeah, people really need to chill out.
Ngl I don’t blame you
My roommate didn't believe me when I made a tanuki "endowment" joke - she knows the animal but not the lore.
Tanuki and Kistune hate, I mean hate eachother. So imagine a dnd game were you play a tanuki or Kistune and a random NPC just tries to screw you over for no reason and it's a hidden tanuki or kitsune messing with you
That’s why Tom Nook from Animal Crossing hates Redd (the fox that sells the player fake art).
Turns out it wasn't a Kitsune or Tanuki, but a secret Tsuchigumo... which they both agree to put aside their differences over to fight.
@@camiblack1lol nice
My first thought: "I wonder if he is gonna talk about their massive balls" just 8 seconds in, and not disappointed.
One of my favorite stories about a tanuki is when one got into a transformation contest with a kitsune. The tanuki claimed that he could transform into an entire imperial procession, to which the kitsune called bs on. However, when the tanuki got out of view to transform, along came an imperial procession. Frustrated at the notion of being beaten, the kitsune jumped onto the palanquin and stomped on the roof in an attempt to dispel the tanuki's transformation... but it turns out it was an actual imperial procession and the guards killed the ktisune.
As a 40 year old d&d gamer, yes a raccoon hitting something with its balls is absolutely hilarious
Gaijin goomba actually made a Tanuki race thats really cool. A mundane polynorph, a limb speed, and the ability to use your balls as not only a carrying sack and weapon but also as a spell component replacement for a certain gold amount.
Awful
I love it
Came to the comments to mention this specifically.
Will I still turn into a Tanuki if I *smoke* the leaf?
If you smoke enough of it the leaf, you'll certainly 'think' you turned into a Tanuki.
420 smoke leaf erryday
I’m begging you, please make a Basically Inevitables. They’re super interesting and have cool lore.
Tanukis will be playable in the upcoming Tian Xia books in Pathfinder 2E. Still unconfirmed if they’ll have weaponized scrotums.
I wonder which attribute about the tanuki he’ll mention in this vid?
im half japanese and tanuki have got to be one of my favorite japanese folklore ever!! something bout these cute little ball boys got me so tickled. 💕💕
using a leaf as a spell focus sounds like a neat little racial detail
somebody should count how many times he mentions balls in this video
This reminds me of the tanuki and rabbit myth
Kitsune video next maybe?
Honestly though Logan, I gotta say I'm loving this arc of you just covering different myths and mythical creatures. Your brand of blending informative with comedic is great for this sort of thing
"I was playing with a bunch of 40-year olds..."
Starts laughing
Stops suddenly 😱
this is so based i love the english pom poko dub and i love tanukis and have played two homebrewed tanuki characters finally you guys finally finally some pom poko and tanuki acknowledgement on my feed this is so epic alexa play the pom poko intro song
No matter what age, men will always find balls and farts hilarious.
I went into watching PomPoko with absolutely no context as to what I was about to see and I swear it is some of the weirdest stuff I have ever seen animated. I was shocked. I love it though.
You can't call yourself a Ghibli fan unless you've watched pom poko
Ballz? I LUV BALLZ
Quite possibly the best AC/DC song.
Great video as always Logan
Still can't believe these ballsy dudes are coming to Pathfinder next year as a playable ancestry.
I'm currently running a Japanese inspired game and one player is a tanuki. It is great. He gets disarmed and turns his nuts into a club and goes all in.
"bludgeons you ball style" is not something i was mentally prepared to hear
Can't WAIT for Pathfinder's new Tian Xia book to come out! They're an ancestry option for player-characters in it!
I have a Transformers toy that is both a tanuki/robot and a fully functional analog alarm clock. Dude is named Heinrad and he is one of only two Transformers toys, to my knowledge, which possess testicles.
I got a race like this, fun stuff.
3:23 that's odd considering I heard of an old tradition to place a tanuki statue outside shops to ward other real tanukis away because they will disguise leaves as money and buy stuff with them.
"Fuzzy Scrotal Tail" is something I never thought of hearing. Thank you
Finally someone has covered this yokai.
I knew about them before, the litlle shapeshifting rascals who drink and have fun, but...
I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THE BALLS
WHY SO MANY BALLS
I got a trio of these as my Guild master's assistants for a Westmarch Server I'm on called Bibbiti, Bobbidi and Boo, basically the animaniacs 😂 It's a valid reason for the occasion city wide Wild Magic that goes on~
Can't belive there is not yet a kozakura/wa revamp with heavy yokai theme
I mean, the people i play with use them all the time. As either player characters or warlock patrons.
a tanuki that turns into a bag of holding and can still talk and interact with the contents of the bag but cant change back cuz they lost their magic leaf sounds like a fun idea. like you go to grab your potion of healing from the bag and he hands you a half eaten apple instead. gotta get on their good side and help find their leaf otherwise theyll mess with with party the entire time
You also have the entire thing of Tanuki and Kitsune hating each other there
Awesome
*_No mention of Heinrad!?_* I thought for sure he'd pop up as a background example. You can buy a transforming tanuki robot! He has robo-balls. He has a sake jug and an IOU pad that combine to form a gun! _And he's a working alarm clock for some reason!!_
In my Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign, the Archfey Warlock is a Pokémon trainer and his spellcasting focus-mon is his Tanuki
Funny lil guys
I love these little bros
Craziest and funniest folk tale about tanukis I've heard is kachi-kachi jama. Tanuki is definitely my favorite yokai.
2 Runesmith uploads in a week? I HARDLY EVEN KNOW HER
Did you just want an excuse to get paid while talking about Ballsacks?
If so, that's the kinda go getter attitude I like
Ah, Pom Poko and AC/DC. Reminds me of the wild west days. Country road, take me home 🎵
4:17 LET’S ACTUALLY GO ANOTHER GENERATOR REX FAN (White Knight is next to Grunkle Stan)🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'd love to play a tanuki at some point, ball jokes or not. Also would recommend an anime called The Eccentric Family all about tanuki, if you want some more inspiration
Gonna add a Tanuki character to a Theros campaign. Gonna call him Testicles (pronounced like Heracles)
Rocket Racoon is an artificer tanuki. Change my mind
I wish he was, but sadly tanuki is not racoon....
I LOVE the movie ❤
Image the alternate reality where Mario flew with his nutsack instead of his cape in Super Mario World.
Nuts
Gotta admire the “balls” on these guys
Speakkng ov under-utilized animals in fantasy: Earwigs.
Imagine seeing a bunch of gnomes or something gearing up to ride some 8 foot long earwigs. You think they're just gonna crawl around with the gnomes on their backs, until they unfurl their beautiful iridescent origami wings and take to the sky
Tanuki are coming to Pathfinder 2e very soon…
i love chopper from one piece he the best tanuki
In some modern stories, they actually have tanuki and kitsune as friends. There's very cute comics about kitsune and tanuki (who also have a ton of merch) and if you ever watched The Legend of Raikou (which got an infamously bad dub and switched the kitsune inspifed character from man to woman in a number of dubs... yeah), the two Team Rocket members Bashou (Hun) and Buson (Attila) are based on kitsune and tanuki...
Hence Bashou's androgyny, beauty, and sharp fox-like eyes, while Buson's stocky (but buff and manly!) and always wearing shades... Buson's also, despite the both of them being very deadly and dangerous, the sort to encourage kids to run away because they're "too young" (... don't heed their warning and they'll kill, though), Buson also is so straight-forward, kids insulting him about his appearance gets him so mad he loses his temper and breaks stuff.
He's very much an open book emotionally, compared to his stoic partner, and has a veeeery rough manner of speaking (he sounds the most yakuza-like of any TR member in the anime), but a lot of it is also rough masculine speech of rural/working class men, this is often a trope with tanuki characters too, to be portrayed as honest, country bumpkins. ^^;; He's also the one who works on the mecha because folkloric tanuki make good blacksmiths!
Bashou and Buson also artificially create storms and this works with kitsune controlling electricity and fire and tanuki controlling water and rain in mythology.
They are human characters (as far as we know~), they were just designed with these youkai in mind and it's written in their character design sheets. ^^
(I rambled so much here because they're a special interest, sorry!!)
you i gave my friend tanuki powers in are dnd campaign and then found this vid
This is my wife's favorite animal. She plays a Tanuki-kin shapeshifter named Chantarelle in my dnd game.
I want to make a tanuki ranger named Rick. Is that wrong?
Not imho, Ranger Rick was my favorite magazine I got as a kid. Tho I get the National Wildlife Foundation magazine (the “ranger rick for adults”) now, I will remember Ranger Rick forever
3:19 nice
D&D見にきたらタヌキの話……
なんか力抜けたww😄
Baller
4:22 eyy it’s Rath
4:04 that spesific drumming tanuki is named Mameda, that one time she jumped from high raise building to escape pursuit thinking that she can glide with her balls and then she falls because she forgot she was a female tanuki. cute film.
The power leaf doesn't give Mario the Tanooki power, the tanooki is actually a suit in Mario 3
The leaf is a separate thing
tanuki ⚽️🏀

You'd think hitting someone with your balls would be remarkably counter-productive, but I reckon that if you're _willing_ to start bludgeoning people with your testicles, balls of steel are a given.
3:00 Now... let see a Zoan version of One Piece instead with Chopper as the only human.
OMG TOM NOOK
TANUKIIIIIII!!!!!
Also that one tanuki killed little Tae and ate her liver in episode 6 of Requiem from the Darkness titled "The Shibaemon Tanuki".
They put the series on RUclips, btw. The whole thing is pretty dark.

Off subject but would anybody else enjoy Runesmith lip singing “red is the rose-the hight kings”?
I’ll leave now…
smurf tanuki
Oh my god I AM A TANUKI
Pom Poko is a good movie, but kinda sad.
i plasy a homebrew tanuki in a dnd game
Please do kappas
Oh yes, Chopper from One Piece
POMPOKO!!! I didn't know it was JK!!? he is also in Invincible that is ok, bUT HAVE YOU ALL WATCH PATHEON yet?! it's great (I'm so random)
Surprise, you didn't mention BNA (Brand New Animal)
I was apprenticing at a tattoo shop and my shop owners Initiation tattoo for me was one of these fucks with massive balls on my leg
I think it's only logical for you to cover Baku now.
wait where the sheet/work for your take on them? plus why not update it?
Balls
Well; there is one in Oriental Adventure…but still lump into Hengeyokai and their gameplay mechanics tend to discourage shapeshifting into other forms besides human.
Other than being stuck with Samurai movies and Kung Fu along with human centric gameplay (or wanted to keep “unexplored exotic east where western explorers would discover that locals won’t be aware about…ignoring that fantasy west has not only non humans but also aware and contacted with their own counterpart)” and evil vs good races (this is why Half Orc was made, plus their “ugly backstory” due to unwillingness to make Orc playable race to maintain immersion) part of me feel that TSR might dislike furries (like Kenku was only playable in 4E), ot afraid that it might get accused of Usagi Yojimbo rip-off (plus attracting “those fans” as well).

If you want to sound cultured:
Us westerners automatically stress the middle syllable, which is why the Tanooki suit and such is spelled that way. ta-NEW-key. But in Japanese each syllable (called mora) gets the same amount of time. Remember back to music class and clapping to the beat? Tah-New-Key.
English plebs: t'NUUUU-key (grace note, half note, quarter note)
English patricians: Ta-Nu-Ki. (Three eighth notes)
English tryhard: Tanuki ga omoushiroitte to omoimasu nee~!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Runesmith every 10 seconds: B I G B A L L S
2:37 cutting this scene short twice unjustifiably irritates me for some reason.
Nah guys, that's a reindeer not a tanuki
so does all of this only apply to male tanuki? or do female tanuki have balls too somehow?
I actually wrote a homebrew tanuki race myself.
...I had to remove the things about their balls because "balls = sexual = being creepy" sometimes, but they can transform into objects, get richer by replicating gold or silver coins they have, become giant using concentration and they have a little canteen full of alcohol that they can get drunk with.
You sound like a coward lol
balls.
Wait a minute, what about female tanukis?
i think some stories say that female tanuki also have balls
So are all mythologoical tanuki male?
