That is pretty much a 100% chance of happening according to the English translation

Oh my, finally these are out!

All I'm gonna say is, I'll be VERY disappointed if this entry has no reference to 4-somes....

Visually speaking it's quite an appealing entry (as usual) and normally Japanese lore based entries tend to get a better and more accurate treatment when compared to Western lore based entries (there are some exceptions to that rule like the poor Kejourou but those aren't very common).

I'll save my two cents for the time being, but I can already say that it's nice to see more members of the weasel family at the very least.

So, I saw the translation over at Gel, and I must say... I am impressed.

Not only we have an epic foursome, but KC also made them represent EACH of the three types of Kamaitachi found in folklore; Otoshiana (Trap), Ken (Blade), Kusuri (Medicine). And not just that, but their behavior is also fitting of the original myth to an almost pixel-perfect point.

If you suddenly fall down for no reason, a Trap Kamaitachi tripped you.

If you suddenly find you were wounded and don't ever remember getting it (or the pain it caused), then a Blade Kamaitachi did it.

If a wound you had becomes good all of a sudden and heals, then a Medicine Kamaitachi healed you.

Those are the original myths. And their profile is that in a nutshell.

The only thing I see missing is actually from the Trap Kamaitachi's design; she's almost always represented with a lasso or a rope of some sort, just like the other two are shown wielding swords or carrying a vase of ointment respectively.

Also, another thing of the design I just realized now.... is it just me, or they are unusually wide-hipped?

The trio are as beautiful as a living vase, so not complaining.

Their cooperative tactics quite reminds me Mobile Suit Gundam's "Jet Stream Attack"

Those are not (only) wide hips, those are childbearing hips

Anyway... As I anticipated before this profile proved to be a rather faithful adaptation of the lore it's based (actually a particularly adaptation of said lore, as Kamaitachis teaming up in groups of three and the modus operandi they use in the profile is taken from Gifu prefecture's adaptation of the lore), but then it doesn't surprise me since this a Japanese lore based entry after all (usually he seems to put more effort into these ones).

Visually speaking it's quite an appealing design and like it happened with Raiju's entry back in the day the use of their feet's fur is quite clever (Raiju's was shaped like a pair of tabi, and these ones have it shaped like thighhighs instead), besides it's always nice to have more members of the weasel family implemented.
Although I gotta admit that is kinda crazy that anyone marrying these lasses will end up being the father of 9 kids... at the same time.

Overall this one turned out to be a nice (yet predictable) surprise, among his recent works (Succubus leaflet included) this must be one of the most decent, if not the most decent so far.

.P.S.: Why is the healer weasel so cute? x_X
