WARNING: This video does contain footage of spiders and spider like monsters. Those who suffer from Arachnaphobia or are uncomfortable seeing spiders should probably avoid this video or at least turn off your video and listen to the audio.
In this video, we discuss the Jorogumo, a yokai spider that has the power to take the form of a beautiful woman and lure men into her clutches. We will talk about the origins of this yokai, how they relate to a real spider that immigrated across the sea to the United States, see the modern impact of these creatures, and even hear three unique legends about them.
All of this in preperation for the Web of the Jorogumo event coming to For Honor!

First
I hate spiders but leave them if they stay away from my bed
Damn my arachnophobia is tripping out O_O
The video hadn't even started yet and I'm already getting triggers from my arachnophobia
"Hans… Flammenwerfer bitte."
Joke aside, I am happy to learn more about yokai…. Rachnera best girl….
Ah the Jorogumo, my second favorite of the yokai
Just because I dislike spiders doesn’t mean I discount them as hunters, they are terrifyingly effective!
4:30 nice to see Pathfinder art getting used. They’ve got some great work.
This is a really cool video I love spiders, I even have two tarantulas of my own
I remember hearing something like if all spiders teamed up, they could kill all humans within a year
Well, the bigger the arachnid, the more of a softy it is… I'm thinking specifically of Emperor Scorpions, regarding other species I might be wrong.
a samurai being faithful? now that's fantasy
a curiosity
It is said that the Mother as well as the Spider Clan of the Mangaverse Spiderman belongs to a Lineage of these Creatures and that the Mother of Peter Parker herself is in fact a Jorogumo
I have seen that people Ship Peter with Rachnera
I loved this video and keep up the great work Raven.
I remember back when I was running my mowing business there was a client of mine who had 10 of these joro spiders that had made their webs around their shed.
Good Job Raven! I'm loving these yokai videos. I really love Japanese Folklore and Mythology especially stuff about Yokai. Including when MGE has them as Monster Girls lol. Can't wait for the Yuki-onna one 🙂
THE GIANT ENEMY SPIDER!!! 🕷
I can name a few things that have a Jorogumo. Monster Mesume, Hellboy sword of storms, Evolve, and Rosario + Vampire. But now it's in For honor so that's awesome. We need more of her.
100% you just saved the spider that will wipe out humanity
love the video, but could you also give credit to the music? I would like to find some of these songs
Ima be completely honest… I still would go for it, fuck it…. gotta live life with no regrets, and if you didn't take a risk at least once, have truly lived?
But can she be flipped by BP?
I hope to god wotc never touch the jorogumo. They'll just say it's MiSUndErsToOd
Me having a fear of spiders but still wants to watch a video about Yokai
amazing video my friend
Watching this video, and seeing how the Jorogumo is typically portrayed appearance-wise, it makes me feel like a completely different spider character from mythology has taken inspiration from the Jorogumo in one of its reimaginings. In the MOBA Smite, one of the playable Greek Pantheon characters is Arachne, the woman who was cursed by Athena to turn into a spider after she challenged Athena to a weaving contest and wove a tapestry that was full of images that were blatant insults to both Zeus and Poseidon, Athena's father and uncle, respectively. Well, the way Arachne's design looks in that game appears to be HEAVILY based on a Jorogumo.
This video made me feel all kinds of things. Give this man a like.👍
Can't wait for this event later thus month and the Kensei skin later this week just got my Kensei to rep 6 in preparation
