Welcome to Part 2 of our series exploring the lore of Kamigawa in MTG’s Multiverse. Today we’ll tackle the complete history of the plane from the ancient beginnings to the Kami War and all the way to Neon Dynasty. This Japanese-inspired plane is full of rich stories and characters in Magic: The Gathering.

Love me some Kamigawa, I hope we return sooner than this visit took.
Bruh I was wondering where the wanderer was I just could not put 2 and 2 together
Tune in next time for a COMPLEAT history of the plane.
what i like most about magic is, even if playing the actual game isnt for me, the lore and card art are always top notch
What’s the source of the Kaito animation shown?
Great summary. Good balance of details and overview. Any chance of doing a story summary to the very early sets? E.g ice age, invasion etc?
I really love MTG's vast amount of Lore.
This plane is really interesting, but that map is TERRIBLE. It is so ridiculously… basic, it doesn't feel like a real place.
It is the most basic type of "fantasy" map, but I know it is mostly fan-made so can't take it too seriously too.
Why isn't this series called: "ExPlaned"?
Love these videos! You have a good narration voice.
1:10 Kamigawa has Hatsune Miku? We're doomed. The fans are going to flood all of us and we're doomed.
I'm one of those people that is still salty at WotC's decision to turn Kamigawa from a mystical rendition of Heian to Sengoku era Japan into Cyberpunk, given I also say magic should have stayed high fantasy with minimal modern tech beyond McGuffins
Hey what is that anime type footage from?
