You watch avatar.. confess!!

I love how Japanese mythos made it into pop culture and other forms of media.
In Mortal Kombat, they inspired Raiden and Fujin.
In Smite, Raijin is one of the top gods played, I do hope they add Fujin since they're adding Tsukoyomi anyway.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony..

[Blackwolfninja]

At least in the Mortal Kombat game, they finally acknowledge the two as brothers just like in the actual mythology. It also to see these two appear in a lot of modern day Japan media like Naruto, Final Fantasy and there was even a NJPW tag team who had their names.

Raijin: ... ok boy... fetch!
Random villager: i'll just sit beneath this tree and...
*sudden thunder destroys tree*
Villager: by the gods what has befallen our cursed existance
Meanwhile,
Raijin: good boi
Raiju: woof woof

So this is where Mortal Kombats Raiden and Fujin were inspired from.

[humanity]

For those of you who would like to know, they were also called kishin, which is kind of a demon/oni god.👍

[satanswife]

I love learning more, myth is probably the only thing I'd learn more voluntarily

[Jeremy-nent]

I would like to see a video on Tsukuyomi, God of the Moon 🌙 please

[thomassheehan-corrigan]

So that’s where Raiden and Fujin in Mortal Kombat come from, good to now

[NestroSento]

Raiden = Raijin ( Electro )
Scaramouche = Fujin ( Anemo )

[ScholarVisual]

MK 11 need to give Raiden and Fujin their demon appearance skins.

Sasuke - Chodori ⚡
Naruto - Rasengan 🍃

[lonekirin]

Hurricane season is about to begin where I live. If Fujin does exist please have mercy

[samker]

but everything changed when the fire nation attacked

[tablestirne]

Awesome stuff - Raijin gave inspiration to Raiden in Mortal Kombat and Fujin gave inspiration to Fujin in Mortal Kombat.

[cirei]

It's amazing how people from different places around the world separately come up with the same four elements lol

[greyworld]

Great video.

Please do more Japanese gods and demons.

*Raijin & Fujin in 1945s*
Raijin : Hey bro you think we should bring down that plane?
Fujin : It's just one plane, don't worry bro
*KABOOM*
"Well about that..."
