Why do children and adults alike fear the dark? Because of the unknown within it. You're likening me to that, aren't you? A phantom in the shadows you can't confirm or deny exists. But Kinzo did a well enough job spreading my legend, even if it only reaches the shores of Rokkenjima at the moment. Those who fear me, know that legend. Therefore, they know me, acknowledge me, and respect me, without me once having to show my face.
Anyone can flick on the lights and see there's nothing there. That doesn't conquer fear or dispel belief. The lights will have to turn off again, eventually, and I'm free to roam that darkness, and to exist in the corner of their eyes.
