ok i dont know why it never occurrd to me that issuns legs would be hella strong

Poncles are really strong just in general, but Issun's particularly ripped 'cause he travels a lot, a year of which he did so on his own, so without Ammy as a mount. It's probably like that for all the Celestial Envoys since they get out the most.

#Okami #Okami Issun #btw I'm also pretty convinced that Ishaku functioned primarily as basically moral support for Shiranui #'cause I just passed the first fight with Orochi #and Ammy seems genuinely shocked that Issun is able to lift (and yeet) that sake jug #which implies she either forgot what Poncles are capable of physically #(which is very likely she was stone for a century)#or that Ishaku wasn't as hands-on during their journey as Issun is #I'm figuring it's the latter because it's not revealed that Shiranui travelled alongside a Poncle until you get to Kamui #which means very few people actually knew about Ishaku #(even Issun seems shocked to learn this when you go through the spirit gate which also means Ishaku just never told him :/)#whereas Issun functions basically as Ammy's voice #I feel like if Ishaku functioned that way for Shiranui it would've gotten mentioned *way* before Kamui #either in the form of how Oki describes it (wolf and pint-sized warrior)#or in the form of the villagers from 100 years ago having assumed Shiranui could talk #which I feel like would've gotten mentioned in the retelling of the legend if that were the case #as a talking fucking wolf is kind of a big deal lol
