  • Hero: We saved the day Village: All praise the dog Hero: I'm okay with this, he's earned it
  • @Poxysocks
    4:40 the villager responding to “someone’s been a very good boy” with “is it me? :D” got me lmao
  • @AtarahDerek
    The fact that in his quest for adventure, he was willing to put the goodest boi on a heroic pedestal over himself just makes him a wholesome hero.
  • @Sam_596
    I love how the dog isn't particularly magical or anything, it's just a good boy.
  • “Someones been a very good boy!” “Is it me?” This is simply incredible
  • @Thorns31122
    I love the way the dog gets a name and the guy just is nameless. The priority of who wrote the story was in the right place. 🐕😂
  • Declaring a cacophonous choir of cats suddenly vanishing at the end of the midnight hour a "tomorrow problem" is such a mood though
  • “Sir, I need to borrow your dog for some incredible heroics!” “Yeah, he IS the most incredible little boy, isn’t he!”
  • @lanabanana538
    Finally, a folk tale that shows that even people who lived hundreds of years ago loved their dogs more than anyone
  • @gus.smedstad
    From the tone “don’t tell Shippeitaro” was delivered, I figured the cats were pulling a Brer Rabbit. Nope. They were just announcing to the world what would defeat them, in the tradition of Rumplestilskin and most supervillains.

    "everything changes when he reaches the foothill of an extremely scary-looking mountain!" oh don't worry, i'm sure Sun Wukong already cleared it out.
  • @lfr8666
    3:43 I love that the poor Sacrifice Girl is shrieking lyrics to Memory in the background. This episode is delightful.
  • @ouliaarts5201
    The way red draws Shippeitaro's goofy face combined with the fire in his eyes is so funny to me
  • The fact that you went out of your way to depict Shippeitaro as either a Shiba-Inu or an Akita-Inu makes me unreasonably happy.
  • @kastanimates
    3:28 Can we just all appreciate this magnificent piece of art? The obvious inspiration of traditional japanese art merged with Red's typical style is fantastic!
  • @calicokity1
    The boss cat being a nekomata is utter perfection. I audibly went "hell yeah" when I saw that second tail.
  • @nicolebee3283
    I wonder if this story was written by someone who had a dog they REALLY loved and now they’re immortalised
  • "Tons of cats partying up at night" nah that's perfectly normal they just got the zoomies
  • The bgm made me remember i literally studied Shinto and Japanese mythology JUST FOR INUYASHA to get the references. It was totally worth it. To be fair, memorized some hieroglyphs and bought Egyptian mythology picture books just for Yugioh. Anime was my gateway drug to mythology.
  • “IS YOUR DOG BUSY??!!” this is one of my favorite things you have ever made lmao. shippeitaro is the goodest boy!
