Happy New Year!

It's time to walk the Path and become your predestined self.

Today's my blog's anniversay!

31st December!

It's been a whole year.

Majority of my posts are 'Soh as previous Maiden' and I've since discarded that theory personally but I'll still take it into consideration when making posts. (I'm always changing my mind) I'll create a tag for it: 'Maiden Soh Theory'.

I'm also still going to publish old posts that discuss this theory. I have many I don't want to discard just yet.

Being able to look into the files has changed my perspective. 

Being away from Kunitsu-Gami, too, has made me look at it differently. I understand Soh's personality better while before, I was too biased towards Yoshiro. But intuitively, I knew her.

Yoshiro gets cold in winter levels.

Her clothes are so loose, she must be freezing.

I thought the Goddess within made her body more resilient(because of her barefeet and loose clothes) but no...

From the Kunitsu-Gami twitter. They appear to be actual metal replicas? Or just the appearance of metal...?

Soh is nothing like Amaterasu.

Soh wearing Amaterau's outfit is ironic as they're opposites. 

Soh doesn't seem to care much for the villagers and sees Yoshiro as a tool to purify her mountain (although she's nice to her sometimes). 

It's implied she warms up to Yoshiro since she ends the pact. (Or does she gain such power, she can longer be defiled?)

You can interact with animals at the base but you have no interaction with villagers or Yoshiro. Aside from ordering them around.
Even if they can't see Soh, they could've added some form of interaction if they wanted to portray an amicable relationship. But she really couldn't care lol

Yoshiro can greet Soh, and the villagers too with a talisman, but Soh herself has no interaction with them. You can't press 'o'.

Ammy, on the other hand, assist everyone in need. Her character left a big impression on people because she's an active God who cares. Her loving and carefree nature inspires.

Soh's attitude is justified though. Humans living in sin and defiling the mountain, your mountain, is not going to leave you with a good impression. Worse is they offer up a young girl regularly so they can continue their ways. (I actually hate them lol)

The human sacrifice made to atone for humanity's wrongdoings is a pure and innocent girl who goes willingly. In myths, human sacrifice of the martyr to absolve humanity must be willing. 

They let the defilement build up so much that a sacrifice is needed. Like letting your house get so dirty and rancid, you need to demolish it.

Defiling the mountain defiles the Goddess and so a Maiden, as her substitute, purifies the mountain and in doing so, the Goddess?

(Also, Cursed Soh is not Amaterasu lol I was so wrong about that idea)

All morning images!

 I compiled all the morning images from the game!

This particular one from the trailer is not present in the files. :(

Anyway, enjoy! There's 30+ so I'll put most of them under the cut!

Her likeness was really captured well. (It's the eyes)
