00:00 In the Edo period, there is a story about a beautiful girl with long neck, called Rokurokubi, who often wanders in the night to hear the secrets that she cannot live.
00:11 Hello, I'm Mock Game Day.
00:14 The main character in our urban legend today is Rokurokubi, a scary ghost, but actually quite harmless, at least in Japan.
00:24 Curious why I said that? Watch this video.
00:30 Before starting, I hope you can like, share and subscribe to support me.
00:37 Remember to watch until the end of the video because I will mention some other variables in Vietnam.
00:41 Now, let's start.
00:47 Legend has it that in the distant past, under the leadership of the Daimyo clan, there was a samurai with a super-fierce martial art that no one could stand.
00:54 But a sudden disaster struck, causing the Daimyo clan to reach the brink of extinction, extinction, and no longer.
01:01 That samurai decided to go down to the mainland, took the name of Kairyu, and began his journey throughout Japan.
01:08 One day, when Kairyu was preparing to sleep through the night in a school, lying on the mountain, in the province of Yamanashi.
01:15 Then a surprising samurai appeared, suggesting to Kairyu about the family's house to sleep through the night for safety.
01:22 Kairyu agreed without any doubt.
01:25 But when the night fell, he realized that this house was the grave of a group of Rokurokubi.
01:32 But he didn't notice. The Rokurokubi clan split their heads off and flew around the world.
01:39 To punish them, the samurai hid their bodies and ran away.
01:43 The heads of the Rokurokubi quickly found and chased Kairyu.
01:47 Both had a very fierce battle, and the final victory was on the side of the samurai.
01:52 But before he died, one of the Rokurokubi's heads stuck in Kairyu's hand, making him unable to remove it no matter how hard he tried.
02:01 In the end, the samurai just had to carry that head and continue to travel around the world as a memorable mark of his strange meeting.
02:09 Another story about the Rokurokubi clan in the Edo period is about a rich young lady with an unusual long neck.
02:17 However, a man still loved her and decided to marry her.
02:22 On the wedding night, when the groom was sleeping, the young lady's neck began to grow long and become a lot of curls in the air.
02:31 The man heard the sound of the bell, woke up, saw his wife's figure, and sang to the sound of the bell.
02:36 Despite the unconsciousness, the sound of the bell made the young lady wake up and return to normal.
02:40 The next day, the man told his wife and parents about this story, and then asked for a marriage.
02:46 Since then, rumors about the young lady have spread all over the place.
02:49 Until the next day, a monk named Yamaguchi came to the wedding and promised to cure the poor young lady.
02:57 I don't know how the monk did it, but since the wedding, the young lady's illness has gradually been cured, and the two have lived happily ever after.
03:05 Of course, there are still many other folk tales about Rokurokubi, which I will not mention here to avoid you telling me the time.
03:13 But do you know why I chose two stories above, not any other story to tell you?
03:20 And that's right.
03:22 All because I want to borrow two stories above to tell you about the Rokurokubi system.
03:28 Unlike Hanako-san and Kichisake-onna, there is only one type, many different versions.
03:34 Since ancient times, people have divided Rokurokubi into two main types, namely Rokurokubi-koujai and Nukakubi, with heads that can be separated.
03:44 Judging by the appearance on the textbooks, it is said that Nukakubi was born earlier than Rokurokubi.
03:50 They are described as having a human-like body, even extremely beautiful.
03:55 But when the night falls, the head of Nukakubi will separate and fly around to find its prey.
04:01 According to the documents, the Nukakubi group especially likes to threaten and suck other people's blood.
04:07 They don't have any fixed object, just need to see the eye contact, they will attack.
04:12 This group is said to live in groups of 5 people and go together at night.
04:18 When they eat, drink, drink, their heads will fly back to their bodies.
04:23 People believe that if the body is separated for too long, Nukakubi will be exhausted and die.
04:29 So they believe that if you want to kill Nukakubi, you just need to hide that body so that it can't find it.
04:36 In addition, there are many theories that Nukakubi originates from a type of monster called Hitoban,
04:43 or "non-head" is the head of meat, originated from China, also has the ability to split the head when the night falls.
04:50 An interesting fact is that the story of Hitoban in China and Nukakubi or Rokurokubi in Japan are almost the same.
04:58 Only different in the place, as the description often sees, Nukakubi will move by flying in the air.
05:04 And Hitoban has ears as big as wings, allowing it to fly by hitting its ears.
05:10 Unlike Nukakubi, Rokurokubi appears later, is said to be much more calm.
05:15 When the night falls, their heads will move all over the place by pulling their necks to the ceiling.
05:20 But they will usually only revolve in a fixed range, not move as far as Nukakubi.
05:25 The reason why I said that Rokurokubi is calmer than its predecessors is very little.
05:30 Or there seems to be no document about this group attacking humans.
05:34 They usually fly around to scare others, or simply listen to their secrets and then tell it all over the place.
05:40 People say that because of the long neck, this group is often wrapped in a spiral shape,
05:45 looking like a spinning table of a potter, Rokuro,
05:48 to give it the name Rokurokubi to distinguish it from the Nukakubi of their kind.
05:52 But not only in shape, these two species are different.
05:56 Nukakubi recognizes itself as a monster and actively splits its head in the night to find food.
06:02 While Rokurokubi always thinks of itself as a normal person.
06:06 When Rokurokubi's head stretches out at night, they will not be able to recognize or control their actions,
06:12 but only do everything according to their own curiosity.
06:16 Until the next morning, when they wake up, Rokurokubi will not know what happened last night,
06:21 and think that what they see is just a dream.
06:24 Although Rokurokubi and Nukakubi are different,
06:28 but because the pictures at that time were drawn in a different, more modern way,
06:33 Rokurokubi's neck is often only characterized by a small line connecting the head and body.
06:38 That's why over time, the image of Rokurokubi gradually replaced Nukakubi,
06:43 and more and more people know about it.
06:45 But whether it's Nukakubi or Rokurokubi,
06:48 they all look like a normal person and extremely difficult to recognize.
06:52 So how do you know if a person is Rokurokubi?
06:56 There are two ways that are often passed on to each other.
06:59 First, wait until the end of the night.
07:01 After Rokurokubi sleeps, you will see its true appearance.
07:05 Of course, this is not very safe.
07:07 Because if the head of the other party is not Rokurokubi, but Nukakubi,
07:12 it is still difficult to survive the moon tonight.
07:15 So we have a second way, that is to look into the neck of the person you suspect.
07:19 If you see three long scars on that person's neck,
07:24 that person is Rokurokubi.
07:26 Because those scars are a sign of the frequent head-pulling,
07:30 pulling the neck for a long time at night.
07:32 Another sign is if you look at the other person's neck,
07:34 there is a long, thin, red line like a thread,
07:38 it could be Nukakubi.
07:41 That's also why people used to argue that
07:44 girls with red lines around their necks should not get married.
07:48 Because they believe that the women with the above symbol are Rokurokubi,
07:52 and they will kill their husbands when the night falls.
07:55 Some others explain that such girls are the presence of Rokurokubi,
07:59 have the nature of a tired, talkative, or sitting with their eyes open,
08:03 married to lead to internal internal conflicts, breaking doors, smashing houses.
08:07 But if you accidentally touch a Nukakubi or Rokurokubi at night,
08:11 you still have a way to get out of them.
08:13 First, remember that this group flies very fast,
08:16 so trying to run and hope that they don't chase you is stupid and unnecessary.
08:20 The easiest way to destroy them is direct confrontation.
08:23 Use any weapon you have to fight and destroy their heads.
08:27 Once the head stops breathing, it means you have won.
08:30 Of course, in the case of Rokurokubi, it is Nukakubi.
08:33 This will be a little more difficult because this group is more violent
08:37 and can spit out the water to make a human skull.
08:39 The most common way to confront Nukakubi is to hide their bodies
08:43 and hide until dawn.
08:46 Nukakubi will automatically disappear forever.
08:48 And of course, you can also hit them if you want.
08:51 But remember that this group is very afraid of the power of chasing,
08:55 so I don't think it's a good choice to fight them.
08:59 Here you are wondering if there is a male Rokurokubi or not.
09:04 Because until now, everyone has mentioned that Rokurokubi is only a girl.
09:07 Well, actually, there are still stories about male Rokurokubi.
09:12 For example, the story of Master Kariu that I just told above.
09:16 There is something not as popular as female Rokurokubi.
09:19 The reason for this is not clear.
09:22 It may also be due to the old belief that
09:24 beautiful women are often transformed by lovers.
09:28 Of course, it was called a legend,
09:30 so the existence of Rokurokubi is not always a big question.
09:34 In terms of science, many people believe that
09:36 the Rokurokubi that people used to see did not really exist.
09:39 Because the fact that the neck is pulled is too illogical,
09:42 and cannot be explained from a common philosophical point of view.
09:45 Scientists believe that people called Rokurokubi
09:47 only have longer necks than normal.
09:49 And the fact that the neck can be as long as what is written in folk tales
09:53 is just the imagination of the person who invented it.
09:57 And you know that, if a person has an unusual long neck,
10:00 they will have a rare meeting called "Mafan".
10:03 It is due to the confusion of genetic links.
10:06 To explain the details of the medical mechanism is quite confusing.
10:09 Here you can simply understand that the links in the body of people with this syndrome
10:13 will not be generalized normally.
10:15 Because they have a strange appearance
10:18 and the activities of organs in the body are not the same as ours.
10:21 Currently, the world has recorded more than 30 million different symptoms related to this syndrome.
10:25 But the easiest to recognize is that they have a high bone frame,
10:28 thick and long fingers than normal people.
10:30 Some have longer neck development, some do not.
10:33 The world has recorded not a few diseases with unusual long necks in this epidemic.
10:38 The most famous is the girl Tishchenkova, who lives in the city of Nikolayev, Ukraine.
10:43 She is known as the girl with the longest neck in the world.
10:46 Looking at the picture, you can see that Tishchenkova's neck is much longer than normal people.
10:50 Due to the disease.
10:52 However, Tishchenkova is still proud of her appearance
10:55 and has a happy life with her beloved ones.
10:57 If we put the case in the old days, when humans still explained the natural phenomenon according to the divine,
11:02 then for a person like Tishchenkova to be called a lover can also be easy to understand.
11:06 Of course, that is not the only case.
11:08 The boy named Fu Ongwei in China has also been called the boy with a high neck
11:13 because he has an unusual long neck.
11:15 If a normal person has only 7 neck bones, Ongwei has up to 10.
11:20 This makes the boy's neck look longer than normal
11:23 and becomes a subject of ridicule when in school.
11:25 Moreover, these bones are placed on the neck nerve,
11:27 which makes it very difficult for Ongwei to stand.
11:30 So he decided to do a surgery to shrink his neck
11:34 with the sponsorship of the charity organization Beijing.
11:36 But after the surgery, Ongwei had a lot of problems with other parts of his body.
11:40 Until now, doctors have just discovered the boy has a neck disease called Malfen.
11:43 The treatment is extremely complicated and costs a lot of money.
11:46 But Ongwei's family environment is not bad.
11:49 So the charity has decided to support the boy.
11:51 As for how his life is now, it is still unclear.
11:56 Not only in the symbol of a rare disease,
11:58 but also in Chiang Mai, Thailand, there is a long-lived ethnic group.
12:02 They are the Kayans, a small group of the Karani ethnic minority in Myanmar.
12:07 There is a tradition of wearing necklaces for girls when they are 5-7 years old.
12:10 The number of rings will increase over time and stop when they are 25 years old.
12:14 Wearing many necklaces for a long time will cause the shoulders of the Kayans to be sagged,
12:18 and the neckline will be long, making the neck of these girls longer than normal people.
12:23 It is believed that the Kayans do this to protect their necks from being bitten.
12:27 Some others believe that the Kayans girls intentionally do this to make themselves less attractive,
12:31 from which they avoid the old-fashioned beauty.
12:33 Another interesting thing is that with the Kayans women,
12:36 the neck is considered a sensitive area, no one can look at it, including their husbands.
12:39 Over time, wearing it has become a custom and a characteristic of women in this country.
12:43 From these things, most can conclude that Rokurokubi is not actually a demon,
12:48 but it is just a way of looking at the style of the old people
12:51 to those who are afraid of their neck being too long due to the disease of the mask,
12:54 or due to their own personal aesthetic, but in fact there is nothing mysterious.
12:57 Another interesting explanation is that those who see Rokurokubi
13:00 are actually having a disease called "Alice in Wonderland",
13:04 when they meet the illusion of their body and others are pulled out abnormally.
13:08 In Japan, there is another explanation that is more peculiar than usual,
13:11 that is the story of Rokurokubi, which started with a girl who was sick and had a sore throat.
13:16 After a day of hard work, she fell on her neck to blow out the candle,
13:19 the light appeared on the door, looking like an old woman who was licking the oil.
13:25 And from there, Rokurokubi came to life.
13:27 It is also thanks to this story that in Japan,
13:29 there is another interesting tradition that this old woman will like to lick oil.
13:34 Unlike a Kuchisake-onna or Hanako,
13:37 Rokurokubi, which is often built in popular culture, is a rather funny and funny demon.
13:42 In Japan, there is even a day dedicated to them called June 6th,
13:46 because the words are similar, but of course this is just a joke,
13:50 not a special day.
13:53 Another interesting thing is that Rokurokubi is considered a technique
13:56 that artists have used on stage since ancient times.
13:59 They usually put a doll without a head and a kimono sitting straight in front of the door.
14:03 The doll's neck is connected to an artist who sits behind the door.
14:08 And every time the artist stands up and sits down,
14:11 the necklaces will be stretched out to make people think that she is really a Rokurokubi.
14:17 Not only in Japan, but Rokurokubi is also very famous in other countries,
14:21 like China, which I have mentioned.
14:23 But Malaya in Vietnam is also considered a variant of Rokurokubi.
14:28 If you don't know, Malay is the soul of a relatively famous woman in Southeast Asian culture,
14:33 especially Khmer, Thai and ethnic groups in the northwestern region of Vietnam.
14:38 It was once described as the head of a woman with a horn and a womb,
14:42 who often flies to find food at night.
14:44 Their food is usually human flesh or dead bodies that are being destroyed.
14:48 Once upon a time, the story of Malay appeared in the West,
14:51 became famous and confused public opinion.
14:53 But in fact, it's all just a rumor that doesn't really exist because of others.
14:57 A sad fact is that the cases of Malay in our country are mostly due to superstition.
15:03 These cases all have one thing in common,
15:05 that is, people suspect a person who is usually Malay,
15:07 then go to kill them to eliminate the people.
15:10 But no one knows if Malay really exists or not.
15:13 That's why I want to analyze the story of Rokurokubi in a scientific way today.
15:19 But back to our main issue today,
15:22 because of the humor and humor of this monster, Rokurokubi is often featured in anime manga
15:28 with the role of a guest, a helper or a harmful factor rather than a host.
15:31 However, it cannot be denied that the stories in line with the love story with Rokurokubi look so so.
15:38 It's just that only the Japanese can tolerate these gags,
15:41 but after a while, it's ...
15:43 well, it's cute.
15:46 In the game, Rokurokubi is of course animated in many ways.
15:50 For example, in the mobile game Chaos Academy,
15:53 Rokurokubi appears in the form of a cute girl
15:56 who always wears a white scarf to cover her neck, no matter how cold or summer.
16:00 This scarf is even able to turn into a real body and help Rokurokubi in daily activities.
16:05 In Nioh, Rokurokubi appears as a monster with a long neck,
16:09 has two forms, human and yokai.
16:12 In the human form, Rokurokubi is flexible,
16:14 like a samurai and can attack you with any weapon in his hand.
16:18 When there is only half of his body left, or when he is shot in the head by a bullet,
16:22 this monster will turn into a yokai and start attacking you with its long neck.
16:26 The best way to deal with Rokurokubi in the game is to attack his head,
16:30 which is the most vulnerable part.
16:32 In the game Tower of Saviors, the mobile game,
16:34 Rokurokubi is a girl who wears a beautiful and elegant kimono.
16:38 It is also one of the characters you can own in the game.
16:41 This monster also appears in a side mission of Ghost Wild Tokyo,
16:46 with a relatively large and friendly appearance.
16:49 It can be seen that because of its popularity,
16:51 Rokurokubi is featured in many games with different forms.
16:56 It's scary, but it's also cute.
16:59 Most of the gacha games on the mobile will build Rokurokubi in a cute form,
17:04 dare to suck the blood of the players' fate in the right way.
17:06 On PC, we can see this monster becomes more powerful,
17:10 and the appearance is also uglier, according to the rumors.
17:13 Playing this monster is not a big deal.
17:16 But Rokurokubi is still just a mythological creature,
17:20 originated from the imagination, and is the ultimate goal of humans.
17:23 It's good to find the spirit to add joy to life,
17:26 but be aware before the spirit becomes a superstition.
17:30 And that's the last goodbye for today's video.
