"the great burning of Zipangu"is considered to be one of the worst disasters in the history of Zipangu,a attack done by the Followers of the red fire,during the festival of the yokai-human peace agreement,that caused the destruction of 25% of the land of Zipangu.

How did this catastrophe happend?,well here is the answer.

A long time ago,before monsternization,one of the main objectives of the Order was mapping the entire world so they could spread the faith in the chief god and one of there discoveries during there travels throught the ocean was no other than the our well know "kingdom of the sun",the first days being around attempting to understand the zipanguese language and estabeleching posts in ports of Zipangu and eventually spreading the faith in the Chief god.

At first,outside of faith-related problems(as to be expected),everthing went fine,that is until the human-youkai peace festival(a holiday that happens during the first day of january,as the name implies,it's about celebrating the day that youkai(mamono) and humans decided to live in harmony and peace),when to the horror of everyone,the vulcano kagutsuchi erupted dispite the fact it had been sealed of millenians ago,and then the followers of fire started attacking everyone,this combined with the lava who's intensety and velocity increased with the more demonic and spiritual and you have essentialy a unstopabble almost alive lava that is rapidly consuming the land whitout stopping not even by the efforts of both humans and mamono,it is said that the flames were so intense that you could seen them  while in the mist continent,and and so intense the flames was that it was nearly impossible to breath.

As you can see it was catastrophe,beyond description to the point the reason the fire finally stopped is because the gods of zipangu decided to intervene to stop the fires,and even yamata-no-orochi,her husband and her daughter decided to intervene,while the gods focused on stopping the flames,orochi focused on attacking the source of the problem on the top of the volcano kagutsuchi,Randall the fire of sinai(the leader of the Followers of the red fire),dispite there efforts Randall managed to escape and temporarely cripple orochi,her husband and her daughter.

The fires started at midnight and ended in 6am and yet managed to destroy 25% of the land (from north to south),villages,cities,shrines,temples(some of them being the oldest structures in Zipangu and the lifes of millions of mamono and humans all burned to ashes for Zipangu this is the worst fire related disaster to have ever ocurred and the worst terrorist attack to have ever ocurred,this attack is the first done by the Followers of the red fire and so far the only one(thankfully),but managed to make them the single-handly the most hated and feared cult by the zipanguese(also after the disaster there  was a large persucution of members of the Order since the Followers of the red fire infiltrated in the Order and made the attacks while wearing  Order uniforms,keep in mind that the existence of the cult wasn't until after this attack,luckely Orochi and the gods clarified that it wasn't the Order who caused the attack,ending the persecutions).

Now a days the damaged to the land and the population loss has been restored, the memory still remains and 2 of january is celebrated as the day of the burned where people all over Zipangu go to the giant graveyard of ashes located near to the now death volcano Kagutsuchi to mourn those who died at the disaster.
