What I love about this story is that the dragon could have won the race and became first but chose to help others being selfless rather than focusing on victory in the race. (This said by a person born in the year of the Dragon myself :D )
Yeah I didn't know the dragon saved my life by fighting the wolf chasing the rabbit. Thanks to the dragon for sure
I'm a Drangon too. Metal dragon actually. What's your element?

Yeah, the only mythical creature so probably not real lol
Im a Fire Dragon
I would watch a whole series about the Goat, Monkey and Rooster's shenanigans
I'll try make one
Search for Eto Rangers.
@@Toadey2012 Check out Eto Rangers then.
Then there is also the version of this story featuring the Cat who was the Rat’s friend that traveled on the back of the Ox along with the Rat that is until the middle of the river where the Rat pushed the Cat off making it unable to become 1 of the 12 animals, & was the explanation why Cats hate Rats
Intriguing!🤔☺️
Lmfao the cat does always attack the rats
Lifelong questions finally solved
yeah that was mentioned in the video
I'm a Rabbit in chinese zodiac also known as the Cat. I had a Rat friend few years back. It went just like the story between us. If you're Cat/Rabbit, stay away from Rats lol
Any Fruits Basket fans here? It's relevant to this video as the main characters, the Soma family were the origins of the Zodiac story. And the 2019 remake followed the manga, and finished the story. Something the original 90's anime didn't do.
Tigers are incredible swimmers like waaaay better than you would ever think it’s actually scary how good at it they are they got webbed paws to
Fun Fact: The anime Fruits Basket is actually based on a version of this tale that includes the cat. 🐀🐃🐅🐇🐉🐍🐎🐑🐒🐓🐕🐖...🐈
I was wondering if there were any Fruits Basket fans here. Looks like there are. The original 90's adaptation is nostalgic and has the late Ritsuko Okazaki providing the opening Let's Stay Together いつも, but the 2019 remake is even better. Followed the manga and finished the story. Something that the original adaptation didn't do.
@@Kyleplier I've never seen the show personally. I just have a cousin who's really into it.
Have you ever watched Eto Rangers? It does have the cat but failed the race.
@@forgameonly9554 no I haven’t
Can't forget when the rabbit was saved by the dragon as well. Because it was being chased by tbe grey wolf
It is nice to hear a happy myth every once in a while. Great job.
It's also known as the Magic Talismans in Jackie Chan Adventures.
Beautifully done! I learned a lot from this video! Thank you!🌹💜
I find the story interesting myself I remember learning it back in primary school.
I know and love this story. It's always the most familiar and easily memorable mythology for me
That was beautiful! I'm fascinated by chinese astrology!❤
Very well made, and a fun watch! Thank you for your work and have a great day!
Correction needed - In the west, dragons aren't always depicted as evil.
Their's Puff the Magic Dragon
Pete's Dragon
Falcor - a luck dragon
Nessy - a champion at hide & go seek
The one that Sean Connercy played
and my Blue Toy Dragon they took from me as a kid - still hurts. (I'm almost 45)
Great story more Chinese folklore please
I’m surprised out of all the other Animals the Pig managed to win 12th place.
Okay, I have this vivid memory, of watching cartoon cats that looked a lot like the Aristocats from Disney and in one episode they discussed the Chinese zodiac.
I watched other videos about the Chinese zodiac but this one is way better
Have to admit, the title made me think this would be about Lovecraft's Yithians, but this is good too.
Interesting! I'd never thought about why the order is as it is.
One day I invited my brother to a car show sema in Chicago il and my brother is a pig I'm a rabbit. He got hungry on the way to the show and we was running a little late. After I stopped for him at McDonald's and we parked at ate. We was late to the car show it was already done. So it reminds me of this race haha the pig made us late but we get along
I'm a snake according to the Chinese zodiac, but I've never really checked on the characteristics of the different animals of the zodiac. I may have to look that up now
i think the horse is stupid and startled easily because how do you not feel the snake and you shoulve felt it all along like bro
I NEED MORE OF THESE Wierd things that occur in Mythos around the world.
This is beautifully done. Often wondered how the Chinese zodiac came to be and this is an amazing story. Guess some of the animals' nature still got the better of them. 😊
Think you can do the myth of monkey king sun wukong? The great sage equal to heaven. That one is my favorite legend to read.
ruclips.net/video/GSiX_KWGkZc/видео.html
Pig so cute he just ate food to have more energy hehhehe
Only TWO animals struggled on their own, now I understand why I am the way I am.
The sun has an 11 year cycle just like the Chinese zodiac...the high maximum of solar activity happens around the snake year in every cycle....
So I notice that plenty of anime and kung-fu movies show trios. But those either are based on hanafuda's boar-deer-butterfly or Momotaro's dog-monkey-pheashant. How come I've never heard of a goat-monkey-rooster trio? 🤔
how did the horse not notice the snake and get that scared i guess year of the horses traits are stupid and startled easily (im a year of the horse btw)
The version I heard was the cat slept in and missed the part of the announcement about what day the race took place, so he asked his best friend, the rat, and the rat said, “the day after tomorrow” so the cat missed the race because of a lie and that’s why cats hate rats
Pardon me for this foolish inquiry, but according to different sources some state that the Chinese zodiacs are very akin to the regular zodiacs; what I mean is each animal represents a person depending on which month/part of the month as to when they're born, yet other sources say that the Chinese zodiacs only represent the year as to when someone is born.
Okay I'm very conflicted as to what to believe 🤨¯\(°_o)/¯
I bet Shendu knows this story
Rat is my sign
Oh thanks for this, I had heard this story when I was younger and when I tried to tell people they just laughed and thought I was getting mixed up with the hare and tortoise Lol
Shame the Rabbit didn't win though!
You've mess the part of the story where the cat appears in the story too. Because that's how why cats and rodents are enemies.
You forgot about the cat and why she hated the rat.
We included that as one of the notes!
Me dragon
Him snake
Child 1 money
2 dog
3 dog
Yes it make sense
IM BORN IN YEAR OF THE MONKEY LOLZ AND EVERYBODY LOVES MONKEYS.
IT SAYS SO RIGHT IN THE DESCRIPTION. EVERYONE LOVES THE MONKEY AND WE'RE FUNNY AND SOCIAL AND WORK WELL WITH OTHERS.
I LOVE THAT I WAS BORN THE YEAR OF THE MONKEY.
IM A SAVANT OF SORTS
wasnt there something about a cat in the race, but it got tricked by the rat and it didnt participate in the race? Or am i getting that confused with anime? 🤔
There are versions with a cat getting deceived by the rat, yes, we put that in one of the caption myth facts!
I'm proud to say that I am a Snake.
This is a reference to Fruits Basket, the best Slice of Life/Romance/ Supernatural anime.
or Fruits Basket is the reference to a story thousands of years old...
Have you ever watched Eto Rangers?
What was the Chinese zodiac in 2020.....oh, oh dear...
I was wondering how this came to be
Please make a video about Jack The Ripper.
Jack the Ripper is not a mythical or folklore figure, he was a real person!
@@MythologyUnleashed oh. OK.
@@MythologyUnleashedwhat about Edward Mordrake?
zodiac king was rated TV-XX
Yes
Tp bad the cat (a.k.a. the thirteenth zodiac sign) was not in here
Ah, but 13 animals were called upon.
I think they mistaken the cat for a tiger lol
And the Cat didn't participate cause it overslept.
TV-boy
Dragons won't exist!
MU2024

The rat is intelligent used the mind
