In Maho Girls Precure, the Precures’ partner is a Teddy Bear named Mofurun. Mofurun is a wonderful and adorable partner, but what is the relationship between Teddy Bears and magic? Generally, cats are the partners of magic users, aren’t they?
Actually, I think that bears are magical creatures. Throughout history, bears have been worshiped as gods. Even Neanderthals may have worshiped bears as gods. To this day, Ainu in Japan and Sami in Northern Scandinavia still worship bears as gods.
Also, Ursa Major, or the Great Bear, is thought to be the oldest of the world’s constellations. Different cultures have different constellations, but Ursa Major is the same throughout the world.
Teddy Bear’s have been made since 1902, but they remain extremely popular to this day. Perhaps they have become magical household objects. Maybe they are guardian spirits for children. I do not really know, but I think it is quite interesting.
