The Killing Stone looms large in Japanese folklore, so when it split in half in March 2022, people were worried it would bring devastating effects in its wake. Except... they really didn't.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating legend of Japan's famous "Killing Stone" and what happened when it mysteriously split in two back in 2022. They explore the folklore surrounding Tamamo-no-Mai, a nine-tailed fox spirit who supposedly enchanted an ancient emperor and was eventually slain, her body transforming into the legendary stone that sits on Mount Nasu. The guys break down how this tale has evolved over centuries, becoming increasingly popular as a tourist attraction and undergoing quite the character transformation in modern manga and anime adaptations.
