*The first few times* you refer to the _kappa_ as a god, you call it a _kame_ rather than a _kami._ This otherwise minor mispronunciation can create a significant misunderstanding, as _kame_ means _turtle,_ which of course this particular _kami_ resembles.

When I order sushi, the cucumber roll is often called a Kappa roll or Kappamaki. I just connected the dots!

Thank you, Jordan. Your work has been absolutely fantastic, and each of us wishes the best for you in your future endeavors.
Thanks Jordan for the work, good luck with your future endeavors.
I learnt about the butt soul-stealing from the 3D TMNT show, still hard to believe they didn’t just make it up
And I know understand what the inspiration for the Koopas in the Mario games comes from... Thank you Jordan! You really got a great myth as your final assignment 😄
can I just say I've been watching this channel since the beginning and I love your content. From the wendigo, to the pirate queen, Genghis Khan, and the seminal tragedy, and Joan of Arc. For almost as long as I remember this channel and extra history has made me who I am, and its been wonderful learning so much, I have a friend that a while ago was talking about high school, and at the time I was still in middle school (A couple years are between us) and he said the stuff I learned from this channel was stuff they hadn't even learned yet. Back then I couldn't subscribe or like because none of us made an account. Then I got a laptop and I was happy to see the channel thriving. I'm now a huge history buff and have you guys to thank. Also, I love D&D so when I saw all that kind of stuff on your channel I got excited, so that's just more to love. Thank you for all the amazing memories, can't wait for the next episode!

Saranzanmai was the first instance where I learned about kappa. That was weird but the anime is still great. Highly recommend it.

I love that anime!
The Sirikodama reminds me of those invisible jewels Japanese Dragons carry. It makes me wonder if there's a connection. I like the idea that a Kappa is one of the "child" forms of a Dragon, building its power by collecting butt balls. Wouldn't be the only yokai/kami that can Digivolve.
Thank to Jordan and to all of the team for the great work!
Wishing Jordan the best with his future endeavors, especially if they involve PYRAMIDS!!!!
3:28 So this is where Walkappa's design and Water typing comes from.
I appreciate the illustrations, they tied this show up really well
Kappa and Tengu are interesting to learn about. Folklore of any culture is great, though they are a product of their times, they can be adapted to modern stories without directly referencing certain peoples or traditions.

Jordan!! Love and miss you!!! Extra History has been some of my favorites of all time on KZread and no small part of that is from all the *really* fun illustrations!
We need more extra mythology
These midweek videos are AWESOME! You guys are the Best 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jordan, and all the rest of the team, for your excellent work !
Wow I had no idea the Kappa myths were this elaborate. I only knew about them drowning kids. Good luck Jordan.
The kappa remind me of lombre from pokemon. If I had to guess, it's probably inspired by these stories.

I absolutely adore this great channel.Believe it or not,but in Japan there were ceremonies offering cucumbers to these creatures.There is also a food named after them,a cucumber sushi roll is called a kappamaki.
Thank you Jordan for the cool visually videos !!!! Wish the best in your future projects!
Oh, I just love the story about the Kappa it one of favorites Japanese folktales ❤😊

1:13-1:14 "a plate-shaped deppresion" i genuinly thought he meant the kappa had a habbit of eating when it was sad lol 🤣

I first learned about Kappa in - of all things - the Fighting Fantasy novels, specifically Sword of the Samurai, which I believe was book #20.
