Teru has learned the language ITALIAN because stray neutrinos hit his neurons in such a way that Italian manifested
this is a one in a teruillion chance
is this how teru learns new abilities?
(sources are yokai.com and a lot of wikipedia)

The feather fan he holds is a magic item used by Tengu to create wind, and his geta (sandals) only have one tooth. You can also see the tokin on his head and the pompom sash on his outfit, which Tengu are very commonly associated with. Tengu are usually depicted with avian and/or monkey features. Specifically, Ritsu is a Karasu Tengu (crow Tengu). In early stories, they would abduct boys and preists and drive them mad until they returned them. In later stories, they were seen as fierce protectors of temples and forests. It is said that people become Tengu after death because they cannot go to hell (usually because they’re Buddhist), but cannot go to heaven either.
Tanuki are similar to Kistune in the fact they represent normal animals and they have magic and shape-shifting abilities, but also because they enjoy playing tricks on humans. The smartest of Tanuki can live their whole lives among humans without being noticed. Tanuki are neither malicious nor pacifist, as each is an individual. They also have massive balls. Magic balls. Balls that can transform into weapons or places.
I originally thought Mob was a Kirin because I saw people calling him that, but it doesn’t make any sense for him to have a weapon because Kirin are pacifists. The weapon is also a kanabou club, which is commonly depicted with Oni. Oni are the demons of yokai, being created before or after an evil human dies. They can shapeshift to fool victims. They’re usually seen as malicious beings with one or more horns.
Something I found interesting, though, was that in the story The Red Oni who Cried, a red Oni wants to befriend humans but is afraid, so he cries. A blue Oni decides to help the red Oni by terrorizing humans and letting the red Oni protect them. That way, they would want to be friends with the red Oni. When the red Oni realizes this and goes to thank the blue Oni, he finds that the blue Oni is gone, and cries out of gratitude for what he did. The art is likely a reference to this story as Dimple has a blue hat (?) and Mob is wearing red. This reminds me a lot of the end of the Divine Tree Arc where Mob cries over Dimple’s sacrifice to him as a friend.
I knew he was a Kitsune before the art was even dropped. There’s nothing I think would fit him better. Like Tanuki, Kitsune are fox yokai that are known for their tricky nature, magic, and shape-shifting abilities that allow them to live amongst humans. One popular trick is that they will trade humans fake leaf money instead of real money, which is very Reigen. Some Kitsune are messengers of Inari, gods, or greater spirits. Messengers of Inari specifically are white foxes.
It is pretty unclear what Teru is, but judging by his horns, frills, color scheme, and the pearls he’s wearing, it seems likely that he is a dragon. Dragon yokai are associated with water and rain. Some stories say dragons have their own political and royal social hierarchies and governments. Tatsu are typically regarded as being very powerful spirits and not interacting with humans unless they are affected. Although, some just enjoy tormenting people. Humans often pray with sacrifices to Tatsu and generally worship them for protection from rain or floods. It is also said that they collect treasure and jewels, which is also backed up in Teru’s design and makes sense for him as a character.
