this is a story.
A Quick recap of Japanese Mythology 101 for those of you who slept through it: The god Susano-o was punted from Heaven for being such an a*****e that his sister, Amaterasu the sun goddess, hid herself in a cave. This event almost destroyed life on Earth, and was eventually only resolved via a massive drunken party that included a divine stripper. No, I'm not making that up. Anyway, Susano-o landed in Izumo, part of Japan, where he promptly beheaded a local dragon, married a cute maiden, and set himself a nice little place. Flash forward a few hundred years or so, and his descendants have got a good little kingdom going. Then, Amaterasu decides that she wants to send down her own descendants (who would be the Emperors of Japan) to keep all of the humans from stabbing each other. Basically, she wants Earth as well as Heaven. She sends a bunch of people down to Izumo to enlist the gods there but they all end up betraying her. She then sends Futsunushinokami down, giving him an awesome sword that's slain various dragons and gods, and tells him to "persuade" them.
After a little arm twisting, most of Susano-o's descendants are fine with this, but Takeminakatanokami is not. So Futsunushinokami beats him into slime.

The depths of my understanding are unfathomable to the common man. Henceforth it is more than futile to try and understand my thoughts.
