I know this is long, sorry about that. Deserve not Desire wrote: There Ren, all of Yokai are done, now getting back to what Admin Shizaya mentioned.

yes it is true that many creatures, Such as Oni, are just interpreted as demons, but its actually mistranslation, let me evaluate, two horns, two glowing eyes, minion of hell, sharp fangs, it leads to misconception very easily, but still they are complete different species, let me give another example, in real life oni are reborn strong humans, but demons are absolute beings who are either born demons or transform into one from an angel. Yeah, i do get what you are saying but uh not your reasoning. It seems that we have learned different information. From what ive read," Oni are born when truly wicked humans die and end up in one of the many Buddhist Hells, transformed into Oni."[] Im not gonna question the demon part due to people having there own ways of interpreting them. (Cultural, religious, actual experience with contacting the underworld, etc.) many beings such as Ogre, Troll, are often equated with oni but both are actually very different (its just how pokemon called rice cakes jelly filled donuts, because calling it oni-giri Siralos knows will do something to kids mind and melt it), it was a benificial idea in earlier days, but when poop hits the propeller then things go bad, example is—

HA HA HA! Brock reference! Pokemon aint the same without him. Seriously tho 4kids wanting to "Americanize" anime shows for kids was complete b$llsh*t like they made all the guns in One piece f$ck&n slingshots, and they edited out all the violent scenes that included guns in Sonic x and they changed all the villains' voices in yugioh  into some squeaking @ss sh*t and- I MEAN i get your point.

beings like Bakeneko, Yuki Onna, Jorōgumo they don't look like demons and that is when confusion starts to happen, it gets worse with time, Jiangshi for example is called Chinese Vampire (like a vampire, but he is asian, so technically its still a vampire but its not Edward Cullen), but people get confused even more when they realise they are not anything similar to Count Dracula and Soma Cruz, so yup, Keikaku means plan deal. It seems that I wasn't clear with what i was trying to say. Then i meant "SOME yokai can be considered as demons" i was trying to say that "some (not all) yokai that look similar to western/eastern demons can be considered as such. Plus some youkai are translated as demons. Reasons vary for this, but one peticular reason is stands out: They both haunt, scare, and can be seen as monsters." I should of used a better example than the oni, like a kitsune, when explaining my 2nd reasoning. My bad. I'll revise what i said into something more clearer : "Furthermore, an editor might consider demons and youkai to be the same thing or similar due to both being present in the Pitch Black World's underworld. For example, Glasses, a demon, is dating a cute, youkai, oni girl named Kiku. They both reside in the underworld so its easy to see why someone might see them as the same/ similar species and put an youkai with a demon category."

(TL;DR) Its their way of seeing it.

We've sorta dwelled out of the main topic here. 😅 KUSO!!!
