Shenmue Dojo | Shenmue Lore Investigation - Episode 4: Chiyou & Four Heavenly Beasts & Chiyoumen Leaders Links @ShenmueDojoVOD | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 4 minutes ago
SkillJim continues his deep investigation into some of the Chinese mythology surrounding Shenmue's storyline.
In Episode 4 we'll be exploring various sources to find information about the Four Heavenly Beasts, Chiyou, Huang Di, and Yan Di in Chinese mythology, and their potential relationship with Shenmue.
DISCLAIMER:
At one point during the stream, I played a short 3 minute clip of the Master Chen cutscene from Shenmue the Animation. This caused the VOD to get completely blocked, so I have edited out the footage to just the extreme bare points that fit the narrative of my video, and hope that this doesn't cause this section to become too jarring!
~ Apologie for the two camera freezes, I promise I wasn't pretending to be frozen this time :D ~
