      *The first few times* you refer to the _kappa_ as a god, you call it a _kame_ rather than a _kami._ This otherwise minor mispronunciation can create a significant misunderstanding, as _kame_ means _turtle,_ which of course this particular _kami_ resembles.

    can I just say I've been watching this channel since the beginning and I love your content. From the wendigo, to the pirate queen, Genghis Khan, and the seminal tragedy, and Joan of Arc. For almost as long as I remember this channel and extra history has made me who I am, and its been wonderful learning so much, I have a friend that a while ago was talking about high school, and at the time I was still in middle school (A couple years are between us) and he said the stuff I learned from this channel was stuff they hadn't even learned yet. Back then I couldn't subscribe or like because none of us made an account. Then I got a laptop and I was happy to see the channel thriving. I'm now a huge history buff and have you guys to thank. Also, I love D&D so when I saw all that kind of stuff on your channel I got excited, so that's just more to love.
    Thank you for all the amazing memories, can't wait for the next episode!

    The Sirikodama reminds me of those invisible jewels Japanese Dragons carry. It makes me wonder if there's a connection. I like the idea that a Kappa is one of the "child" forms of a Dragon, building its power by collecting butt balls. Wouldn't be the only yokai/kami that can Digivolve.

    Kappa and Tengu are interesting to learn about. Folklore of any culture is great, though they are a product of their times, they can be adapted to modern stories without directly referencing certain peoples or traditions.
