Скачать или смотреть TEKKEN 8: How Jun's Yakushima stage references Japanese folklore

I look at how Jun Kazama’s stage references Japanese folklore, Yakushima, the Shinto religion and even the yatagarasu—a mythical three-legged crow. I also share my theories on how these devices could be explored in the story.
It has been a bit of time since Jun got announced. But, in popping on my nerd glasses, I wanted to discuss this! It’s been on my mind since seeing Jun’s gameplay trailer a while back.

INTRO: 0:00
YAKUSHIMA STAGE OVERVIEW: 0:18
SHINTO RELIGION: 0:48
SIKA DEERS, PRAYER ROPES, AND YAKUSUGI: 1:43
THE YATAGARASU AND ITS SYMBOLISM: 2:36
