Translations of Japanese terms[edit]

The translations of Japanese terms at the head of the article were incredibly inaccurate, so I improved them. 蠱 means "curse" or "bewitch" as can be seen in words like 蠱惑 or 蠱物. If someone is interested in adding an explanation of the etymology of the character 蠱, that would be great, but don't just translate it as worm. Also 巫 in this case has nothing to do with divination. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.24.109.231 (talk) 21:19, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to the "In Fiction" List[edit]

There's a manga called "Doku Mushi"^[1], which also has a live action movie "Dokumushi" (also titled "Toxic Insects")^[2]. It's essentially kodoku, but rather than insects, it's trapping people deemed "toxic" into a locked building without food for 7 days, implying to cannibalize each other in order to survive.
