I hope this episode gets disproved so we can get more episodes of Jinx. I love them.

Great episode, I'm always up to hearing some Japanese folklore and I'm glad to see the true origin of Jynx come out. Also congrats on getting married.

Very very informative, i'd like to say I KNEW IT but I didn't, though I personally never saw Jinx (or Popo) as racist, heck when I first watched pokemon racism was the last thing on my mind, i was like...6-ish smart guy = albert einstein digimon = tentomon, my personal favorite i knew that robot and the dancer's game, curse my brain forgetting! curse it!

There's another connection between Jynx and Santa Claus: BOTH were made by beverage industries to sell their product. While Jynx was derived from the yama uba to sell sake, Santa Claus is the modern day interpretation of the holiday figure, Saint Nickolaus, created by Coke Cola to sell soda.

Santa did not get his red suit from Coke, although he was depicted drinking Coke as advertisement. The suit is much older and there is evidence going back to 1885. The first question of the MythBusters Christmas checks this fact. The quiz link is below. Source: http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/quiz/xmas/xmas.html
