Topic: Digimon Disscussion Thread

I?m late to the party,since Yo-kai Watch came out recently in my country,so I don't know is somebody already noticed this:

I know foxes have been part of japanese culture for centuries,but this yokai is obviously a rip-off of Renamon.

@Randomname19 I don't know, anything based on the Ninetails will look similar; Looks at Ninetails from Okami:

Or the Pokemon Ninetales. There's probably plenty of other examples. Some are bound to resemble others closely. I think it's just the colour scheme that's very similar in your example.

@Octane But the Ninetails from Okami and the Pokèmon aren't yellow and purple and they don't stand on two legs like Renamon.That yokai does.

Kyubi could also be compared to (wait for it...) Kyubimon. I noticed this as soon as I laid eyes on the character. However, as @Octane mentioned, nine-tailed foxes are pretty popular mythological figures in Japan. Naruto is another example that comes to mind.
