Anime, which originated in Japan, is broadly defined by Japanese speakers as animation; however, internationally, it specifically refers to animations produced in Japan and Southeast Asia. One notable example is Toshishun, released in 1981, which serves as a focal point due to its legendary structure and mythological ambiance that resonate with Georges Dumézil's tripartite ideology. Dumézil, a renowned French scholar in mythology, posits that Indo-European myths are characterized by three distinct types of action: those associated with sovereignty, warfare, and craftsmanship. Actions linked to the warrior class are primarily characterized by physical prowess; for instance, sorcery and peacekeeping are categorized under sovereign activities, while agricultural labor pertains to craftsmanship. Dumézil argues that this triadic structure mirrors the class systems present in the prehistoric societies of these cultures. Notably, Atsuhito Yoshida, a Japanese researcher, was among the first to extend Dumézil's framework beyond Indo-European contexts. He suggested potential interactions between Scythians and Japanese populations within the Siberian steppes while attempting to validate Dumézil’s tripartite ideological system within Japanese folklore. Contemporary mythologists following Dumézil assert that these three forms of action can also be found within fairy tales and children's narratives influenced by ancient myths. This study intends to illustrate through a descriptive-analytical approach how this tripartite ideology manifests within anime influenced by mythology—specifically focusing on Toshishun. The inquiry seeks to elucidate how these three ideological actions operate within this particular anime context. When Dumézil refers to ideology, he does not imply its conventional philosophical interpretation; instead, he uses it in a manner akin to theology to describe a catalog of myths along with their deities and associated concepts. The findings suggest that Toshishun subtly embodies Dumézil’s mythological tripartite ideology across multiple dimensions including narrative archetypes, heroic endeavors, spatial symbols, and magical aides. Ultimately, this ancient tripartite ideology persists—whether consciously or unconsciously—in modern human thought processes and artistic expressions. Toshishun serves as an exemplary case of how traditional mythological structures continue to influence contemporary storytelling through anime. By examining the interplay between these ancient ideologies and modern narratives, we gain valuable insights into the cultural significance of anime as a medium for expressing complex themes. The enduring nature of Dumézil's tripartite ideology highlights the relevance of historical frameworks in understanding modern artistic expressions and their impact on audiences today.
