38 mins
Discover Ningen's roots in lore to its evolution into pale, gaping-mouthed sea humanoids sighted by Japanese whalers and Antarctic researchers. Also uncover conspiracies of Japanese whaling cover-ups and bioweapons, though debunked as belugas, dugongs, ice illusions, or pareidolia in unexplored ocean depths.

Ancient sea monks, secret weapons research, and whaling cover-ups collide with cold scientific explanations as skeptics challenge the Ningen's very existence.
Ep 4:
