I think so. Old Yokai stories remind me a little of old European folklore before people forgot. Same deal with the "Devil", they're teaching figures mostly. Just that of course most of these stories end badly for maximum effect, with an ignorant non-compliant main character that gets punished for their defiance when facing the teacher.
@@Mayhzon What do you mean "before people forgot"? In Germany we still tell the story of the girl who played with fire and burned, or the boy who sucked his thumbs until a tailor came and cut them off.
Bob is a stand up guy,I know he would’ve left if he saw he was willing to fix the leak.Who knows,maybe Bob is a sleeper agent and “Yes we can” is his off.
The thing is, Japanese yokai folklore has such oddly specific creatures that a wife-stealing demon that chastises you for not keeping up with your home would fit right into the mythology

*How can a man take care of his family, if he can’t even take care of his home.* ~Bob the Yokai Builder I don't think I can ever leave my home unattended after watching this video.
I honestly believe that Bob was trying to test him, and he failed. Instead of picking himself back up and slowly repairing his house piece by piece and hopes of seeing his wife again. He destroys the house even more.
He failed by denying the spirit it's request, spirits sometimes ask 3 times before doing something horrible to the human to pay them back for their ignorance etc
Maybe it was test for him to fix the house instead of breaking more things in it. Maybe, Bob would give his wife back. Maybe... What an awesome artwork!
@@sealevel5961 Right..?? I would've been snooping around and left.. Made sure I bought talisman at the local out door stores and left the change with waifu so Bob couldn't come back.
What I love about this is that considering this is based in Japanese folklore, it's got that potential hidden moral. Often times, folklore stories have a hidden moral of some sort of mentality or attitude you're meant to adopt. Bob said "How can a man take care of his family, if he can't even take care of his home?" Then, in the end, the MC says that he's been making new holes in an attempt to summon him, but he never returns. Since the dude kept his life a mess, Bob never saw the need to come back to teach him the same lesson. You could say that the hidden moral is that you kinda need to have your shit together before you can really have a true healthy family dynamic. Which is kinda funny since that's actually a really good moral in some creepy ass RUclips animation.
That's just one. The cool thing about hidden morales is you can interprete them differently. Another RUclips commenter here interpreted that procrastination is a Demon. You could also see that the hostility of the Japanese man turned the Demon aggressive in the first place. Or that his unwillingness to fight for his wife made the Yokai go through with it. Or that even after the Yokai was gone, he never made anything of himself, experienced no growth, never found another woman. There is many lessons in this little short.
I imagine if he actually kept his house in shape instead of breaking it to try and 'summon' the yokai again, he might even have gotten his wife back. But he went the entirely wrong way, ignoring what Bob was saying to him.
Bob the Builder A Yokai that resembles that of a construction worker. If your home has a damaged roof, window etc, which hasn’t been replaced or fixed for a week, this Yokai will manifest into existence and hunt you down to use your body as materials to rebuild. It has a sense of purpose where it would capture every member of a family except one (Mostly male) and passes on a judgemental thought on taking care of one’s home
I know this is old, but it's more that he'll use loved ones as building materials. Since the people that suffer the most for an unsafe home are your loved ones. It isn't a tragedy if one's own laziness hurts them, it's when it hurts someone else it becomes one.
"How can a man take care of his family, if he can’t even take care of his home." He could've taken care of his family if he didn't scream and give away their location
@@GrooveScorpion that shit gave me chills and nightmares, I made the mistake of watching it at night with headsets on, biggest mistake I've made in a quite awhile.
When the spirit says “can we fix it?” You’re supposed to say “yes we can” and the spirit leaves a blessing on your home and repairs the damages. If you do not reply with this phrase… well, you saw.
I choose to believe that if they had responded "Yes we can" when the builder asked "can we fix it" he would have repaired their home and left peacefully
Instead he chose to "fight" it. Which leads to "How can a man take care of his family, if he can't take care of his home". And as we saw, it was right, he couldn't do either.
@@thegk-verse4216 I thought that for a moment, but wrote it off as Yokai weirdness. I mean, an akaname licks bathrooms clean, but honestly, that things mouth must be filthy, so I figured this was some similar weirdness
I really love how accurate this is. Some Yokai are depicted to be as a monster that kills anyone for no reason (well, some) and doesn’t speak or such. But this video shows how it depicted so well. Sometimes Yokai would be asking questions. For example, Aka Manto “Red” or “Blue”. And Bob is asking “Can we fix it?” And if yes, he will leave them alone or, “No”, then he will take everything from you. The behavior of Bob’s mysterious appearance and demeanor, really add to the scene of how Yokai creatures act
Let’s just take a second to appreciate how good meatcanyons production values have gotten. This looks like a professional short film with a story to match. He’s come a long ways from the simple flash cartoons he used to make.
Wow, this is a very well done horror story. I love how the ending makes you think what would happen if he fixed his home or is it already to late for him and his chance has passed.
Having learned some Japanese Mythology, I knew that these hardest troubles would have the easiest loopholes, Also the Japanese dubbing was perfect and well done, Hontoni Subarashi Mito-Kanyon, Hontoni Subarashi
I have a feeling that the guy had to FIX his house up after it was destroyed, and then MAYBE the yokai would have returned his wife. Because he would show that he could rebuild despite being wracked with grief. The husband being self-destructive would have just showed the yokai that he never learned his lesson.
This dude is a genius. Yokai are spirits related to certain aspect of life, in most cases negative ones (untidiness, laziness, unfaithfulness, you name it). Yokai Bob appears to those who neglect their house and keep it in a state of disrepair. I just love how he absolutely comprehended japanese yokai origins, meaning and purpose and took a western character to fulfill the role so seamlessly.
Well actually it should be reverse What if he didn't have enough resources to keep fixing his house I mean their clothes and the fact that they lived in the middle of forest shows their poverty Even though they were obviously poor they looked like a happy couple So he was properly taking care of his family because they had food and none of them were sick But he wanted to enjoy the meal his wife (probably) made for him first Bob is an irrational monster with wrong ideologies that he forces on others He DoEsN't HaVe A pOiNt
What I truely enjoy about this is the fact that it could pass as an actual part of Japanese folklore. Much like German fairy tales, a lot of them were about scaring people into behaving by going into grotesque detail. Hell, Bob looks characteristic of a Rokurokubi, which in and of itself was a monster meant to keep people inside past midnight. Honestly, this is my favorite MC animation in a long time.
why was this so beautiful what the hell, bob the builder was terrifying, him losing his wife was sad, and the ending was even more sad. voice acting, animation, audio, all 10/10
This one is so god damn good. It’s not just creepy and unsettling, there’s so much more to it. This is professional, if there was a full series of something like this I’d watch it
This kinda makes me want an alt ending with him screaming "Y-yes, I can." and then him and Yokai Bob can just fix the place up good. For someone that liked bob the builder as a kid and grew up into anime and stuff, this hits all the right places.
I wonder, if he just repaired his house instead of letting it rot, would Bob have returned her? Perhaps he sunk so far into his guilt that he couldn’t see the obvious solution right in front of him…
I think when they were in the bedroom bob was going to leave them alone but then he looks like he loses it. Unfortunate too, seemed like he was going to another room.
I think yokai Bob is personification of death. It comes unexpectedly, takes your loves one away, and leaves your home ransacked and heart shattered. And you either have to rebuild your home and your life or go on the path of destroing yourself and everything around in hopes it comes for you sooner.

Wow, this is a very well done horror story. I love how the ending makes you think what would happen if he fixed his home or is it already to late for him and his chance has passed.
Epic
Bob might gave him a slave girl a cute one....... To fix the house and(discontinue

Wow this actually has a meaning remember take care of our homes or else Bob is gonna steal your girl.
At first I thought bob skinned her alive and used her to fix the leak in the man’s home.
Having learned some Japanese Mythology, I knew that these hardest troubles would have the easiest loopholes, Also the Japanese dubbing was perfect and well done, Hontoni Subarashi Mito-Kanyon, Hontoni Subarashi
I have a feeling that the guy had to FIX his house up after it was destroyed, and then MAYBE the yokai would have returned his wife. Because he would show that he could rebuild despite being wracked with grief. The husband being self-destructive would have just showed the yokai that he never learned his lesson.
He probably never would’ve taken her in the first place if they’d replied “yes we can” when he first entered
@@blakchristianbale lmaoo
He also couldve shut up in his closet. But he couldn't handle the spirit pointing out the leak he needed to fix.
All he had to do was say "Yes, we can!"
So stubborn

I like how Bob punishes him for not fixing his home yet makes his house in even worse shape by busting through walls
Did you SEE how his house was leaking? He was asking for it.

This dude is a genius. Yokai are spirits related to certain aspect of life, in most cases negative ones (untidiness, laziness, unfaithfulness, you name it). Yokai Bob appears to those who neglect their house and keep it in a state of disrepair. I just love how he absolutely comprehended japanese yokai origins, meaning and purpose and took a western character to fulfill the role so seamlessly.
"it's not a matter of whether we can build it, it's a matter of whether we should build it" -Bob the Builder, discussing the construction of Auschwitz
This is comment is underrated we need to blow it up you literally made me spill my drink lmao
He's probably the one who laid out the plan
big brain
Bob was a genius ahead of his times no doubt
I wouldn't be surprised to find the company that built Auschwitz is doing some Bob the Builder shit these days.

@Çhrîstõfêr Pèzēt ×55 NEVER.

I see you everywhere
Bruh it was a single leak
Well actually it should be reverse
What if he didn't have enough resources to keep fixing his house
I mean their clothes and the fact that they lived in the middle of forest shows their poverty
Even though they were obviously poor they looked like a happy couple
So he was properly taking care of his family because they had food and none of them were sick
But he wanted to enjoy the meal his wife (probably) made for him first
Bob is an irrational monster with wrong ideologies that he forces on others
He DoEsN't HaVe A pOiNt

Bob the yokai builder: “you have no honor”
Atomu: “and you are a slave to it”
Ayyyy I got that reference
@keep rollin shut up
Eyy GHOST OF TSUSHIMA!!
And what's wrong with that? Honor is a good thing.
I can imagine Zuko saying that to Iroh.
What I truely enjoy about this is the fact that it could pass as an actual part of Japanese folklore.
Much like German fairy tales, a lot of them were about scaring people into behaving by going into grotesque detail. Hell, Bob looks characteristic of a Rokurokubi, which in and of itself was a monster meant to keep people inside past midnight.
Honestly, this is my favorite MC animation in a long time.

Been said a million times already but you are so fucking talented, man. These short animations are better than most shit I see on the TV. Kudos.
This kinda makes me want an alt ending with him screaming "Y-yes, I can." and then him and Yokai Bob can just fix the place up good. For someone that liked bob the builder as a kid and grew up into anime and stuff, this hits all the right places.

This is what yokais are all about. I can see this being used for educational purposes in a literature class. Pure perfection.
Godamn, Meat.
So they scared you and kidnap if you don't fix things?
Yes
Indeed, although yokai means ghost or phantom, this would make sense
Taking wives?
This all could have been avoided if he had said, “Yes we can!”
No, it would've been a billion times worse.

I wonder, if he just repaired his house instead of letting it rot, would Bob have returned her? Perhaps he sunk so far into his guilt that he couldn’t see the obvious solution right in front of him…
I think this is the deeper message.
I think when they were in the bedroom bob was going to leave them alone but then he looks like he loses it. Unfortunate too, seemed like he was going to another room.
I think when Bob says “this can’t be fixed.” He means it
Nah bruh. He said "you can't fix this.." the moral of the story is if Bob come into you're home you're already fucked
this just got real
So THIS is why Japanese people like things clean and orderly.
Absolutely based
Unironically yes
Never know when Yokai Bob will show.
You hope he never will, William will show what his shows all about.
many japanese homes are actually pretty cluttered and messy. aesthetic ideals =/= reality
sounds like a job for @MrClean ...
Bob being a western character aside, this can pass off as an actual youkai, "the youkai that appears when you dont keep your house in good condition"
ruclips.net/video/O3RgjhNeso8/видео.html......
Honestly just remove his outfit and hardhat, and replace with more traditional workers clothes, and it'd fit right in for a youkai

@@MrSadisticLlama nah don’t give him Yokai clothes, just make him Naked, it’s arousing and terrifying. It’s multi tasking!
@@sekoseko9728 wtf
I think yokai Bob is personification of death. It comes unexpectedly, takes your loves one away, and leaves your home ransacked and heart shattered. And you either have to rebuild your home and your life or go on the path of destroing yourself and everything around in hopes it comes for you sooner.
