The amount of wealth you have on the bank of the River Sanzu is measured by the amount of people who miss you dearly.

I doubt any of you can pay the fare.

>> No.1846099

If I become a ghost, do I just skip the whole river ordeal?

You couldn't, but I could!

six people would miss me, is that enough?

Yes, but then your soul rots away to nothing.
Earthbound souls aren't stable.

Yuyuko Saigyouji is different, however, since both her Earthly Soul and Heavenly Soul are intact, merely separated.

>> No.1846124

True.
I might have a few people in my family, but If the price is over one or two people, I'm fucked.

Yes it is. Automatic condemnation to the 6th circle of the Hell of Frigid Ice.

Enjoy becoming nothing and everything living hating you.

Oh, and your body may become a Revenant and hunt you down for your refusal of Judgment.

Threeish IRL, maybe 20 online, if generous.

Maybe a coach trip if I bring my own paddle.

>> No.1846300

>>Oh, and your body may become a Revenant and hunt you down for your refusal of Judgment.

it's not refusal when the goddamned ferryman doesn't want to carry you to the other side to even reach the place. it's your workers being an incompetent bunch of lazy asses, shiki.

No problem, since I'll get to live forever with Komachi!
Well, not really ;_;

I fade into oblivion, refusing the cycle of enslavement. Eventually, that oblivion becomes sentient. I rise to the top, somehow, and become that which devours everything.

well thats obviously not some bullshit myth some ancient nip came up with.

>>1846318

Oblivion can't become sentient.

Except after a few quadrillion years, quantum fluctuation and whatnot.

But then that Oblivion would have to fight infinite-power Kaguya and Mokou.

Does not work that way, everyone can make it across otherwise it'd be pretty fucking hypocritical of Siki to condemn things like immortality for denying lives and souls for use in the karmic cycle.

It's just a certain lazy death god kicks them off the boat if the journey looks like it'll take too long.

>> No.1846573

If I become famous for doing/making something ground breaking and/or popular, then people will surely miss me, right? I mean, look at Zun, how many of you would miss him if he died?

The fare is only a single coin. If you lived with so little virtue that no other person alive cares for you, your soul is purged as a "failure" of a soul.

Lots of people would miss ZUN if he died. Like the guy who runs the liquor store he visits, the bartender of his preferred watering hole, and the Korean running the all night convenience store he stops in at 3am and needs another night cap.

If Zun cannot cross to the far side of the river Sanzu then the far side will cross to reach him.

Dont forget to pay charon, er sorry Komachi AFTER youve crossed the river Sty- Sanzu.
Wow. So close to greek mythologi.
Zun must have made a moe version of Persephone(SP?)...

But... but I don't want to cross.

I want to be with Komachi. ;_;

I'm sorry, but I answer to some Higher Powers.

My credit with them is a tad better, too.

Does that mean that a great monk who teaches his disciples that death is an inevitable part of life, and that it would be wrong to let such an event bring negative feelings, wouldn't get a ride?

>> No.1848646

>>1848635
To miss someone is not a negative feeling. Instead its a memento of them and how much positive impact they had on your life.

Also, funerals should be a celebration instead of a depressing mass. You loved the person enough to attend the funeral, you should be happy he/she is someplace better.

Wait a second, the fare to cross the River Sanzu is always all the money you have, regardless of how much. It doesn't matter how many people miss us in the end.

Those New Orleans funerals sounds fun and all, but I also enjoy a good depressing minor key funeral march.
