This is actually common practice among royalty around the world, Though Egypt dynasty took it to another level by practicing direct sibling marriage. Habsburg dynasty marrying many Noble around Europe eventually they ended up marrying their own relative after some generation causing infamous Habsburg jaw deformity.
That Habsburg jaw is great

I have half a sister running around here somewhere. I haven't seen her since the 7th grade. I found out she was my half sister the year prior. I was told not to tell anyone. I told my best friend and that's how she found out that the man who loved and raised her, wasn't even her father. I still feel horrible about it, to this day. I wonder if she knows our father died?
Humans suck
U should tell her
It's good you told her for medical reasons and also what if she married someone she was related to? Then it would be worse
Your dad was a double homewrecker? Damn
Sorta the same situation with me except she already knew heck everybody knew every one who knows us anyway.

this explains so much about japanese and hentai

So That's why there's so much step-sibling hentai in Japan.
Technically those aren't incest, Am I right😏
@Hansel technically not, so it's perfectly fine..
You'd be surprised about the percentage of people in the west who don't know the difference between half-siblings and step-siblings, in terms of Definition, but sometimes either at all.
In Alabama it doesn't matter at all ;)

The purest blood line is the mothers blood line. Mother to daughter to granddaughter and so on. It needed to be said
I couldn’t agree more. This tradition of blood line happened and is still believed in my culture. The ‘Adat Pepatih’ culture from Negeri Sembilan (state) in Malaysia. You may look it up.
Indeed, but one of the reasons matrilineal inheritance wasn't common is most females becoming infertile after their 40's. Lack of heirs is even worse for stability than a surplus of them.
@@jedisentinel4879 ah that true, even if the men grow old, he can just search women in their 20
Isn't women have both grandmother genes on them, unlike men that only have genes from grandfather on father side.
But i agree if japanese using martilinial, as their emperor is descendant goddess of sun Amaterasu.
Nope child carry 75% of father's DNA.
So that's why it's bloodline from father

"Don't quote that out of context in the comments, you bastards. I know what you guys write, I see you." - Linfamy
I always thought the saying keep the bloodline pure was silly. The amount of damage these relationships cause overtime is insane.
I agree with you. How can you keep a blood "pure" when it degrades the conditions of the descendants due to gene stagnation?
And biologically
It also stagnates a nations money, because aristocrats and monopolies are terrible for industry and markets
The "step siblings" logic is sorta legal too in modern era. Woody Allen married his step daughter. Biologically speaking, it's okay. Ethically, there are a lot of questions.
Yeah, biologically step-whatevers are not related
The same goes for adopted siblings..legally and ethically there is no issue..they arent biological so no harm will come to the children they produce(the only reason incest is illeagl) but morally its wrong because they grew up as siblings and were raised by the same parents. Step siblings are less taboo tho because its not uncommon for them to either have not been raised together from a young age(if their parents got together when they were adults or teens already they arent seen as siblings since they werent raised together) or sometimes the kids are together first and then their parents get togehter and marry from meeting through the kids..in that case its more fucked up on the parents end for marrying their childs partners parent.
Technically, she was never his stepdaughter as he never married her mother.
animangafan342 Actually it could also be biological NOT okay. Inbreeding can cause genetic disorders and deformities. Just look at the old family tree of the British royals, or European royals.
@@Tingling10 ur misunderstanding my comment completely. I'm talking about "step siblings". Not siblings related by blood. Step siblings are not related directly like really siblings.

Technically in this period, the main successor to an emperor would be his wife (half-sister, patrillineal cousin) since she would be from imperial family as well, not some outside clan. This would also ensure the line of succession, as a child from 2 emperors would have better claim than that from 1 emperor.
Hey, a person who knows the difference between ensure and insure! Yay!
I love this video and not because it was said but I just love learning about Japanese folk lore and history.

As an Australian, I think I have learnt more after school has finished about Australian history than during it.
Though I did learnt some history (like what happened to a friend mums Generation) at school from a friend, because her mum was a part of the Stolen Generation. Her mum was able to do some tracing back of her family. I still bet growing up like that was very traumatic.

@@Linfamy lol thanks for the heart and reply XD
Haha np. What is it with the brother-sister trend in anime anyways?
@@Linfamy I guess its kinda because its the "none of its real" aspect of it. Since they would already know everything about eachother, the only thing stopping the relationship is that they are blood related or something. In fantasy, pesky things such as logic can be ignored. So people are free to explore such taboo topics like incest. Also I think many of these incsst with the little sister things are written by women. They like to explore things that pull at their emotions.
I personally have no issue with the topic so long as no one is exploiting eachother and they don't have biological kids.
Interesting. It may also be because Japan has a history of incest. I remember reading that in the olden days, widowed fathers would marry their daughters, and other taboo practices.
About as pure as the British royal family...
More like all of the European royalty. Nicholas 2nd's (the last Romanov czar) wife is his cousin and his cousin is George the V (the one in ww1) who looked like him. George is the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd who married his cousin Philip. In fact, to verify the remains of the Romanovs (and verify that Anastasia indeed die at the hands of the Bolsheviks), they used Prince Philip's DNA.
habsburd
More like how all royalty kept the line pure.
@@shaider1982 nicholas and Alexandra were half-third cousins. He and she were 1st cousins with George v but on the opposite sides of their families. That wasn't close.
Nah, more incestuous than European royals. I dont recall half-sibling marriages in the British royal family.
I laughed so hard at "emperor Bob...unaga". Genius. Thank you for these videos! :)

My mom has a double cousin. Which actually isn’t incestuous all. Two siblings married two people that were also siblings. The term double cousin tends to confuse people though.

Well incest can be seen in some form in every place where royalty is involved so I don't judge the Japanese imperial house but still I don't think the double royalty is that effective.
I knew about the crown prince deal but lord Lin I still love this video.
The practice did limit succession disputes to some extent, but it still didn't prevent the Soga from exerting their influence
Indeed lord Lin but I think if planned killing of all the emperor's brother helped the Ottoman Turks then perhaps this worked for the Japanese at that time, but history always shows us that no plan or idea is perfect.
Yeah they definitely had shenanigans
Indeed my lord Lin indeed.
not in the Ottoman Empire.

The concept of the "Double seed" or Double "royalty" in this case was found in Sumeria, Acadia & early Egypt. All of which claim that they got the idea from the gods.
Still not bad as Habsburgs or Egyptians system of "keeping the blood pure", haha
"I love this video"
Me: **INTENSE SWEATING**
Hawaiian chiefs did the same thing, weirdly enough the disabilities found from limiting the gene pool was not present in their bloodlines, they were perfectly fine. They did this because Hawaiian chiefs were related to the gods, because of their godly nature it was said that you must marry someone who is also of equal status as you so the chiefs would marry their siblings.
Little side notes Hawaiian chiefs had multiple wives, Kamehameha III actually had 30. Hawaiian chiefs didn’t have to be males, their were female chiefs as well. If a woman had a kid with a lower rank man the kids rank would be the same as his/her mothers.
Imagine fucking 30 half naked woman everyday
@@hunterofdarkness8329 He probably didn't. The first Emperor of China also had multiple concubines along with the actual wife, and he'd fuck a new one every day until "peak fertility," when he'd fuck the queen and hopefully sire an heir.
How?
I guess its something like the pure blood trait in ck3 when you incest too much that you get the pure blood trait instead of inbred

There, never let it be said that I don't follow the rules.
I’ve heard here and there (can’t remember where) that the Baekje royal lineage was grafted into the imperial family ‘s lineage after Baekje was defeated on the Korean Peninsula. Did you ever look into the fates of Baekje and its people that fled to Japan?
That's right, many of the Baekje royals who fled to Japan married into influential families, including the Imperial Family. They also created their own clans, of course. It's a popular idea among historians that the Soga clan originated in Korea. The Nihon Shoki states that Emperor Kanmu's mother was a descendant of a Baekje king.
