"Makuwauri no Bakemono" was the name imposed on a Japanese farmer who lived at Suika Lands in Izumi Settsu during the late Sengoku period. He regularly debated and sparred with another local farmer in disagreement over whose favorite melon was better. Together, their actions led many people to purport that a yōkai known as the Makuwauri no Bakemono (真桑瓜の化物, lit. 'oriental melon warrior') existed in the region.[1]
Biography
The people of Izumi Settsu had been hearing the commotion and fighting noises from this "melon" yōkai presiding in the Suika Lands. This led them to travel and meet with the monk-turned-demon hunter Mamushi about their testimonies. However, the monk believed that these notions of "bakemonos" were fabrications yet reluctantly accepted to investigate these claims.[1]
In 1582, fortunately, Mamushi spoke with Kakushiba ikki members Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke and tasked them to investigate all these yōkai claims. During their investigation in Settsu, Naoe and Yasuke arrived at the farm and saw both melon "yōkai" sparring aggressively with each other. Confronting the men, they were asked about which melon they preferred. Answering the question, they soon fought the opposing farmer and bested them. This resulted in a new "melon lord" for the season before Naoe and Yasuke left and debunked the claim.[1]
Behind the scenes
Regardless of the choice, either farmer will duel the player if they choose suika or makuwauri.[1]
