I was just thinking of making a thread for her but you beat me to it. Oh well.
>>
>>50057129
because no one wants her! it would be sad, if it wasn't so funny!
>>
>>50057550
Kanako could lose her virginity at any time! The only reason she doesn't is because she doesn't want to give herself up unless it's a serious relationship, and no guy has stuck around long enough for it to get that far...
>>
>>50057568
the only husband she's ever had is currently limbless and trapped by lunarians! kanako didn't have sex even once while he was free! she's such a loser she can't even free her own husband! sad!

Always nice to see more of these two, Sanae gets so much uptime in comparison. The green girl is a drug that needs to be administered at regular intervals with a constant, available supply, whereas Kanako-sama's threads are like a good vintage. This is not a sneaky comment on her age.

You know what? I really couldn't say... I only remember vaguely feeling good when seeing them on the catalogue. Chalk it up to me avoiding threads of characters I haven't fought, and the time between threads.

You kno I always found the Mishaguji thing confusing
Kanako is associated with snake, and the Mishaguji look like giant, white snakes but I guess they aren't snakes.

So Kanako is represented by a white serpent, while Suwako a green frog, but Suwako is the one who's really holding the Mishaguji's (who aren't snakes) reins?
idk
>>
>>50060074
Mishaguji are ancient curse gods that are native to the land of Suwa. Their resemblance to snakes is a coincidence, you can basically consider them a third party seperate from the rest of the Moriya crew. Essentially, they had an understanding with their fellow native god Suwako, where as they held no allegiance towards the invasive Kanako.
>>
You ever wonder why Mishaguji are associated with dicks? You see it in SMT.
Suwako must be craving dicks daily.
>>
>>50057550
Suwako is doing Chrisposting for Kanako, pestering anons. Just like Yuiman for Ariya or Sumireko for Renko. It is really comedic.
>>50057568
That's an Ariya style, cope out. Kanako can't handle a man or even worse... An anon!

The IRL Mishaguji lore goes something like this:
In times that predated the arrival of the Yamato mythology, people in Suwa believed that something called Mishaguji dwelt in the heavens. It was apparently more of a "thing" than a deity, a kind of life force or energy. Some have found analogies with the Polynesian concept of mana, and in other places of Japan the kami are sometimes thought to descend from the skies in similar manner.

Once in a year, if proper rituals were conducted, it was thought that the Mishaguji would descend down from the skies in massive amount and "communicate" have sex with a spirit serpent called Sosou. After this, the Sosou would "swell in size and become enormous" get pregnant, dig tunnels under Suwa and enrich the land and make it fertile.

Over time Mishaguji, who was apparently thought to be invisible, came to be represented as it's more visible manifestation, the giant Sosou snake. As centuries passed, the Yamato conquered Suwa and first introduced their mythology, and later Buddhism. The associations between Sosou and Mishaguji changed, people started to conflate the two to a degree where Mishaguji became represented as snakes. These depictions can be to this day be found in things like the Mishaguji stones in Suwa, which often have snakes or spirals carved to them.

As life was hard in Nagano, and Japanese culture generally doesn't have a clear good/evil duality going on, it was thought that the Mishaguji would cause famines and curses if they were not treated properly. The Yamato likely had an interest in highlighting the "curse god" aspect of Mishaguji to drive their own agenda. There's nothing particularly curse-heavy about old depictions of Mishaguji, as all deities and deity-like forces were thought to curse people if mistreated.

In Japan, snakes are generally speaking considered a very common manifestation of the various kami. Because of that, elements of other snake kami and dragon myths started to be weaved into Suwa mythology. These include the legend of Hashi Saburo turning into a serpent while visiting underworld and Takeminataka no Mikoto turning into a serpent or dragon after his arms and legs were cut off. Other serpent-associated deities which were associated with the Suwa mythology were the Ugajin and Benzaiten. Both of these figures receded to the background after Buddhism and Shinto were forcibly separated.

Suwako being a frog comes from lore associated with Ugajin, a really complex and convoluted entity blending Japanese, Chinese and Buddhism traditions. In the case of the Suwa, the Ugajin was associated with the kami who subdued the local monstrous frog or toad deity, Moreya. The frog deity was seen to represent various bad qualities like greed and ignorance, and by subduing the Moreya deity, these qualities were transformed into more enlightened ones. This is a mix of Yamato hagiography and Buddhist missionary work. In parallel, there was of course the tale of Takeminataka no Kami, sometimes seen as a serpent, sometimes as a human, subdying the Moreya deity. So it's kind of like two versions of the same story, one from a Buddhist POV and one from Imperial lineage POV.

Suwako-sama represents the various indigenous beliefs of Suwa, and Kanako-sama represents the various Yamato-introduced beliefs. However, over centuries these have become completely intermingled, and it's very hard even for historians to pick out the exactly development of local mythologies. The Suwa Grand shrine long since developed it's own distinctive identity, and what was once introduced by the imperial core has abandoned it. The last lingering remnants of this is the Jinja Honcho association of shrines, and Suwa Taisha is not part of it. Suwa faith has truly become a completely hybridized thing of it's own. That's why Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama are so intertwined. The snake controls the frog, but the frog controls the snake. The official front is of Yamato mythology, but behind it are local beliefs.

Most of these character threads are ultimately slow image drips that get bounced every six to twenty-four hours by a single dedicated waifufag.
Either that or they quickly die.

My 50 years of research indicates me that these threads are a sham.

I try my best. I have been reading a lot about medieval Japanese religion and snakes lately.

I now declare that Kanako's thread will die a painful premature death.

No judgement, I'm the primary poster keeping another snake girl's thread alive through discussion droughts.

Kanako would be the first to state that Yuiman is the cutest, though.
