Meowden. :3

She looks like a cat!

:(

She's crying. :(

The pain must be terrible.

But still, she remains determined to fulfill her duty...

呪 and 宗.

center of the chest

宗 Can also be read as 'mune', which also sounds like chest/heart.

Center. Chest.

(Am I understanding this correct? The kanji can be read as 'mune' which can sound like chest?)

Soh is the origin and source, and possibly her ancestor. Is Soh simply the previous Maiden who is the new Goddess and the source of Yoshiro's power? Or is she a part of the Goddess, with Yoshiro as the other half? Or is she the Goddess, fragmented?

The curse kanji can be read as 'soh':

The kanji 詛, meaning curse, can be read as Soh. 呪 is the main kanji used for curse in the game, appearing when Yoshiro is attacked and Soh is depowered. 

But Soh wears that kanji on her Outset armor. There's also the impurity pattern on her clothing(not just her mask).

The Seethe are called the Goddess's kin and many have the impurity pattern on them.

They can steal the Goddess's power and they drop crystal orbs, the Goddess's power.

"...people and gods, gods and Seethe, and misfortune and fortune are two sides of the same coin."

Everything flips when the time comes.

...could the ritual be about absorbing and containing the defiled Goddess who has become cursed? Why is her presence in everything, including the Seethe?

Or is it about purifying her?

All 8bit Tracks!

Some tracks I don't know so I just left them un-named.

I made the thumbnails but ChatGPT made the 8bit images? (I don't think that Soh is 8bit lol but the OST artwork is!)

Impurity Pattern: Mōryō(魍魎).

According to game files, the impurity pattern is actually the geometrical pattern of 'Mōryō'(魍魎). Malicious water spirits.

The talisman we get upon defeating Cursed Soh is also Iso Onna(磯女), another water yokai.

It has the pattern on it as well.

All Yoshiro Vocalizations.

All her vocalizations.

Gifs of her singing here.

It's quite relaxing to listen to.

I decided to create still footage for it although it was probably overkill.
This video would be perfect for my Battle on the Water(with vocals).
(I forgot to post it here so I'll add it before this post)

Stills from the video:

my favorite...

I made this thumbnail:

still the cutest...

But I asked ChatGPT to improve it.

...doesn't look right

It made it higher quality? My PS4 screenshots are...terrible. It demotivates me but only for a moment.

I added this one in for the A/B test and when I saw it as a thumbnail, I removed it lol:

it rubbed me the wrong way instantly

Bonus:

simple

Battle on the Water(with vocals)

The song played on boat battles but with Yoshiro's singing.

I made this very long ago. On my phone!
