Notes
- ↑ The story of the blue oni and the red oni is a famous Japanese children's tale that tells of a red oni who wants to befriend children and his friend, a blue oni, who helps him with it. The blue oni devises a plan to play-terrorize the children and have the red oni "save" them from him. The plan worked and the children became friends with the red oni however, the blue oni traveled far away and sent a letter to the red oni telling him that they couldn't be friends anymore because the children would abandon the red oni if they saw him being friendly with the blue oni that had "terrorized" them in the past.
- ↑ 毘沙門天 (Bishamonten, Sanskrit Vaisravana): Buddhist guardian god of the North. In Japan, he is also one of the seven chief gods of luck.
- ↑ A 仙狐 (senko lit. "hermit fox") is a type of magic-using kitsune that has the capacity to live up to 1,000 years. After it reaches or passes the age 1,000 (sometimes, specifically, 2,000), it can turn into a tenko (天狐 lit. "heavenly fox").
- ↑ 十二神将: Buddhist guardian gods of the 12 cardinal directions. The renowned onmyouji Abe no Seimei was said to be able to channel them through shikigami using paper effigies.
- ↑ Both kitsune (狐) and tanuki (狸) like to trick people, according to Japanese folklore. 狐狸妖怪 (koriyoukai "kitsune tanuki youkai") are uncanny prankster creatures such as foxes, badgers and goblins. 狐狸妖怪 is also an idiom that describes anyone with a trickster personality. The phrase is synonymous with 魑魅魍魎 (chimimoryo lit. "evil spirits of mountains and rivers"), which is often used in the names of Yukari Yakumo's spell cards.
- ↑ Charming: a method of hunting used by foxes which involves attracting prey through making out-of-the-ordinary wriggling movements.
- ↑ The expression 四面楚歌 (shimensoka lit. "surrounded on four sides by the songs of Chu") means to face difficulty from every facet of your life. It's in reference to the Battle of Gaixia in which the city of Gaixia was in the process of being besieged by the Han forces singing songs in the Chu accent.
- ↑ "Princess Tenko": most likely in reference to the Japanese illusionist プリンセス天功 (Princess Tenko), one of the best known magicians in Japan. A 天狐 (tenko) is a kitsune who has past 1,000 years in age (or one that has reached 2,000 years in age) and ascended to the heavens as a divine beast. Tenkou (天后), the queen of the heavens, is also one of the 12 general gods.
- ↑ A 卍 (manji) is a symbol of auspicious omen in Buddhism. It is also commonly used to mark the location of a Buddhist temple on a Japanese map.
- ↑ Unilateral contact is a mechanical constraint which prevents penetration between two bodies. Shikigami are often described as computer-like by ZUN and Ran is known to be an extremely advanced mathematician.
- ↑ Kokkuri-san: the Japanese equivalent of Ouija, as well as the name of the spirit supposedly controlling the Ouija planchette. The name Kokkuri (狐狗狸) contains the kanji for fox (狐).
- ↑ Izuna Gongen: A deity worshipped by practitioners of the Izuna shugen cult, who believe in the use of foxes as spirit familiars. Izuna Gongen is usually depicted as a tengu (天狗) riding on a white fox.
