Talk:Kuchisake-onna

message: Looks like the film will be released in the West by Tartan Films presumably as "The Slit-Mouthed Woman"  Probably worth starting the entry on the film then when it becomes more widely available. Is it worth sticking with the red linked name or changing it to the English version for the English Wikipedia entry? (Emperor 01:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Kuchisake-onna is a type of onryō, no?  That is to say, she is "a mythological spirit from Japanese folklore who is able to return to the physical world in order to seek vengeance",to quote the onryō article.  So, I changed the link from yōkai to onryō where it says "malevolent spirit" because that is, by definition, more what an onryō is than what a yōkai is.  173.180.75.13 (talk) 08:27, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

message: "It is said she does this because of marital issues."
'Marital Issues' like having her FACE HACKED OPEN? I'm of half a mind to just erase that last sentence completely, it establishes nothing and is kind of weird to read.

message: Whether or not Kuchisake-onna is beautiful may be a hard question to answer, but the same is not true for this article. Somebody who isn't a lazy bastard should fix it. 50.102.94.180 (talk) 06:14, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Mess

message: The text in the original legend and the flow diagram to the right seem to contradict each other.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.74.178.14 (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: The original legend

message: The article is really confusing...how long ago did this legend begin? The first paragraph only mentions alleged sightings in the 1970s, but later in the article the Edo period of the 1600s is mentioned...anyone? Bueller?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.101.106.230 (talk) 13:50, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Ok.. i know, but probably to make this verifiable we need more citations! 219.75.46.212 (talk) 01:54, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm thinking no, so I removed it. It's ugly, inelegant and unnecessary, and I cannot fathom what the person who added it was thinking. ASHENAI (talk) 19:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is the diagram (flow chart) really necessary? 

message: I noticed one of the references on this page is a paranormal podcast. As far as I can tell, this isn't a particularly reliable source (i.e. it just seems to be two dudes passionate about horror, not someone with expertise). Maybe it should be removed?

replies: text: Though the podcast on the whole is likely not a particularly reliable source, the cited episode in question features as a guest Matthew Meyer, who is a folklorist and author of books about Japanese folklore and yōkai; the information cited is provided by Meyer therein. —Matthew - (talk) 14:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
