  • After watching Nioh 2 on the Tokyo Gameshow, I decided to find out a little more about the Kasha.

    Kashas are Japanese yōkai that are said to travel the world on burning chariots, stealing the corpses of humans who have not yet been buried and had lived sinful in lives.

    Some practices to prevent the dead from being stolen include two funerals for the same corpse, placing a stone in the coffin, and chants so that the Kasha will not feed.

    Considering the corpses they choose, why stop them?

    My guess is the living relatives still cared about them even if they sinned.
