Vanillaware's Butt Monster Is One Cheeky Pun
Published on January 01, 0001
Perhaps you’ve heard that PS Vita game Muramasa Rebirth is getting new downloadable content? It looks to be an eyeful. Note: This article contains content that some yono all app readers might find objectionable. Talking about the DLC, which is titled Muramasa Rebirth: Genroku Legends, Vanillaware’s official Twitter account tweeted out the below image earlier today:
Here’s it with the dramatic manga-style lines that Vanillaware included in the tweeted image. Just let that sink in a moment. Okay. Ready? According to Vanillaware, the name of this creature (née yokai) is “Shirime” (尻目), which is an idiom that can mean, “disregard” or “give someone a contemptuous glance.” However, 
Vanillaware is using the term literally: “shiri” (尻) means “butt” and “me” (目) means “eye.” That’s right, this is Ass Eye!cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1460058448","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); As Kotaku commenter MrHan points out, this is a creaturefrom Japanese mythology. So while Vanillaware didn’t create it, the studio sure gave Shirime its usual flair. のっぺら坊の一種で一応由緒ある妖怪です。 [Vanillaware_boy Thanks, MrHan!]
