They *do* have magical balls. In Japanese folklore, tanuki-the creatures in this movie-can use their scrotums for all manner of things. They can be used as: fishing nets, shop signs, umbrellas, drums, etc.,. Linfamy made a video on this topic (ruclips.net/video/UvuhpbY88pk/видео.htmlsi=0R-uc185rzgWHAux).
