Conically yokai Tanuki have big stretch ball sacs they use for various things, like fighting, playing drums, flying…
In real life Japanese goldsmiths used to use Tanuki scrotums to helps pound gold into very thin gold leaf. They favored them because they were very tough and malleable, well suited for the job. Why you get big balls and folklore they bring prosperity and wealth.
Anyway, yeah she probably wants those nuts.

Every time I see tanuki nutsacks referenced it reminds me of when I was younger and used to joke about the tanuki at the end of the stages in Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES having a giant nutsack. I didn’t think that’s what it actually was, just what it looked like. Joke was on me decades later when I learned that that was, in fact, a giant nutsack. Surprised censor-happy Nintendo just left it as-is.
