The wolf is Amaterasu. The Japanese deity of the Sun as well

>>91204914
Nice theory. I like it.

>>91204914
The antlered figure is a figment of Jack's imagination. It's what he's afraid he's going to become in due time. It will only leave him alone once he finds his resolve and redemption.

>>91204914
>>91205007
>implying
the wolf and the antelered figure is aku, hell everything is aku from the weapons, sisters to the river and even the cave and log

>>91204914
Weeeeeaaaaaabbbooooooo
Hey everyone we have on of those Naruto kids here

>>91204914
So Aku is Mikaboshi?

>>91205050
Aku is in too much of a malaise to do anything like that at the moment.

And the fact that it doesn't speak english or walk on 2 legs is also out of place.

I could be reaching here, but the first time we see the wolf is when it's walking in a forest and light from the sun was beaming through the trees.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes a wolf is just a wolf.

You could be right on that. But do you think Genndy would put in a random wolf for symbolism and convenient healer for Jack? He's said in interviews that he reads a shit ton of Japanese folklore.

Are you going to be one of those faggots that has to compare everything to Naruto when the wolf really does turn out to be amaterasu?

The Wolf is the Sword.

The Antlered Samurai is Jack if he gives up completely and gives into Aku.

are you going to eat a big bowl or rice or some poki anon?
are you going to import some figurines? maybe a couple posters of little girls for the walls or a big pillowcase with sailor moon?

Why isn't there rule 34 of Jack fucking that wolf's asshole yet?

>>91205511
>The Wolf is the Sword.
I like this idea, too.

>The Antlered Samurai is Jack if he gives up completely and gives into Aku.
As I said here >>91205007, I completely agree with this.

>>91205054
>>91205468

Literally the only connection to Naruto this has is that one of the moves in the series is called amaterasu. That's it. Stop grasping at straws and trying to cause a fuss where there isn't one.

My theory is that the wolf represents a wolf, they just look out for eachother, probably becouse they were alike and make for a cool/cute scene

There, mistery solved

i don't know about anyone else, but i would pet the SHIT out of a wolf...

Why would it be an actual historical figure when Jack isn't even from a real historical period of Japan?

Oh yeah, wolves were totally fucked over by domestication. That's why the entire Canis genus is extinct

Wolf is male tho

Glad I never liked this show.

>>91208666
Get out of here then Satan

>>91208666
Glad you never watched it either. The entire premise of the series was that the gods themselves helped Jack's dad (and later Jack) to get rid of Aku

>>91205376
Holy fuck that's a fucking direwolf.

>>91205920
explains the lack of sword

>>91204914
why was the wolf pissed that jack wanted to wash his wound with water?

Why can't Jack see the wolf's divine instrument then?

>>91204914
I actually wouldnt be surprised if the Wolf was actually Jacks sword in disguise testing his resolve to see if hes still worthy/pure.

I think Jack is going to get his sword back from the wolf and slay Aku but then instead of returning to the past he will stay in the future with the one girl seeing as how she too was robbed of a life thanks to Aku.

Currently playing through Okami again. I'm still confused about so many things in the story, but restoring faith in beauty in the world still makes me tear up.

Second, why would Amaterasu get her ass kicked ?

Gets her ass kicked when aforementioned 3 never did

>>91208489
Because it's an allusion to the true figure same why Jack would rub elbows with mythical and fictional characters from other stories.

>>91204914
I doubt that's literally a god, save maybe in the shinto 'small gods' sense of the idea. But nature has moved in Jack's favor before.

>Implying a god in the form of a wolf would mindlessly ruin Jack's makeshift surgical dressing by pulling off and then licking his wound a few times

>Implying a god in the form of a wolf would kill a chicken for food
>Implying a god in the form of a wolf would eat a piece of that chicken and then walk around in a circle a few times before burping and going to sleep

IT WAS A VISUAL METAPHOR FOR JACK AND ALSO LATER AN ANIMAL COMPANION WHO HEALED WITH HIM SO HE COULD GET PAST HIS MENTAL PROBLEMS AND GET BACK IN BALANCE WITH NATURE, NOT A GOD IN DISGUISE YOU FUCKING IDIOT
