-----------------------------------------
Kamehameha the Great is born under the weight of prophecy, and he duly sets about fulfilling his destiny. As the Hawaiian islands navigate early contact with the outside world, Kamehameha harnesses foreign weapons and warrior tradition to conquer the island of Hawaii and unite all of the other islands under his Kingdom of Hawaii.

Love these videos and the art is just the bomb. If MTG would do a historical set, they need to hire yall for the art.
I love your videos! Goosebumps everytime..
Just can’t deal with this dude’s voice. It’s like my stoner younger brother is putting on a presentation. Can’t take anything he says seriously
Can we get art of the volcano scene?
More immersive stories about the rise of various conquerors and rulers, please. Nothing beats a classic rise to power.
As a native to Kauai, I'm surprised and ecstatic that some1 has taken time to dive into the deeper history rather than the skimmed overview written in the history books. It's channels like these that make the world informed and whole
West side or East side?

This is where Dragon Ball Z gets it’s Kamehameha from! Toriyama (the author) wanted to include the Japanese word Kame in the title of the move, which means turtle (a reference to the character that develops the move). Toriyama’s wife was aware of some Hawaiian history, and suggested this name. So this whole time, DBZ characters have been shouting the name of a Hawaiian king 👑
Yes.
That could be why Muten Roshi lives on a small tropical island and wears a Hawaiian shirt.
Not A Hawaiian king..
I thought it was because Kane is turtle in Japanese
@@urbnctrl yes
Whoever animated and did the art for this, mad props
It's called AI art. You enter words and the app comes up with the artwork
@@randomvintagefilm273 someone didn't watch to the very end
@@randomvintagefilm273 bro it’s not Ai art is brother dies all the art if it was ai it wouldn’t show exactly what they’re talking about.
Agreed
@@randomvintagefilm273taking some time to think about what you're writing BEFORE you actually do it never hurts. Try it.
As a proud Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) I want to thank you for this beautiful depiction of Hawaiian history. You’re the first person I’ve ever seen take the time to talk about Hawaiian history, mahalo nui loa. You have a lifetime subscriber now. Appreciate you.
What's even scarier is that Hawaiian Chiefs don't let their ʻahuʻula (feather cape) touch the ground, and Kamehameha's cape is long and big enough to put him around 7 feet tall. There are even stories of him flipping the Naha stone, a sheet of lava rock weighing around 2.5 tons. A Chief that flipped the rock over, was said to become conquer of all the islands, basically the same as the sword in the stone. Legend has it that when he was born a "white rainbow" came down from the heavens, most likely Crepuscular rays (What happens when light shines through clouds). Dude was built different.
It's entirely possible he was a huge dude, but he did not flip a 2.5 ton boulder by himself. A rhino couldn't do that, I doubt even an elephant could manage that. If he was around 7ft tall though he would have been a giant compared to those around him considering people were considerably shorter back then.
@@WhatIsSanity it’s recorded multiple times that he did
@@bronstonmahelona7676
I don't doubt it's recorded.
@@WhatIsSanity an elephant would have absolutely no problem in flipping a 2.5t strone. Rhino would do it too. A man?? It depends, he might have used some sort of leverage for that and the records just doesn't mention that
@@WhatIsSanity also people were not "shorter back then" it's a common misconception" peoples height on average fluctuates, for example people were taller 40 000 years ago on average than they are now, they were taller in middle ages than in 16th century. But it all really depends on a region, diet of people at that time etc. An average height started rising about 300 years ago, but for different regions it may have decrease. Still as a 7ft tall guy he was definitely considered huge
I teach American history and taught about the annexation of Hawaii yesterday to my 8th period. It’s weird sometimes how life can have many similar events happen at the same time. Who would of thought my favorite historical narrative channel would have a video about the EXACT same subject I just taught. Life is crazy in many ways, right?
That's cool! Since it follows the establishment of the Kingdom of Hawaii, this video will be pre-annexation, but if folks are keen we'd love to do a follow-up on the annexation and statehood of Hawaii
@@HistoryDose Id love it, i know nothing about hawaii, it could be dope to get some insight
God bless you brother. Teach our children well…
I haven't watched the video yet, but if it's appropriate, you should show your students! I remember stumbling onto this channel wishing it existed when I was going thru school. I feel like the storytelling and artwork would draw an interest in students.
@@DB-ms2td I don’t think it matters if it’s “appropriate” or not.
It’s education, you can’t censor history for modern sensibilities otherwise how are people to know how far we’ve come?
as someone who grew up in hawai’i and is of hawaiian descent, it’s great to see someone taking time to share our history and educate people on what was left out of the history books 🤙🏽
Beautiful story telling of real history on my Hawaiian brothers n sisters. As a proud Samoan, I loved this. Aloha and Alofa from Oahu 🤙🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾
Oh yeah? Did you even listen to what they did to their women? They weren't allowed to eat with the men and if they were caught eating bananas or any of the good fruit they killed and sacrificed them😊
Yea women’s rights don’t matter 😂

This and every video talks about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and my Hawaiian name is Kahoalii and it means friends of the Chief and friends of the king and I’m an Ali’i as well and im blood 🩸 related to Kamehameha 1 and so I got the Hawaiian gods watching me too and everywhere I go I wear the Niho Lei Paola and so by blood 🩸 and because of my name I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and my seven time grandfather said serve me or die and so this video talks about my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 and his early wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and his kids are my great uncles and Kamehameha 4th’s wife Queen Emma is my great Aunty and I am an Ali’i too and I am the seventh grandson of Kamehameha 1 and my Hawaiian blood 🩸 is related to Kamehameha 1 and so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his early wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and his other 30 wives are my seven time step grandmothers and so I know he’s watching over me as well same with the Hawaiian gods and I am the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 so I’m responsible for the Aina (Land) and so my Hawaiian name is Kahoalii meaning (Friends of the king) , and (Friends of the Chief) so I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and we killed James Cook because he brought war on us and his men got our ladies on Kauai and Ka’ahumanu is my seven time step grandmother and so your half wrong because Davis was helping my Seven time grandfather same with John young so your wrong because we only killed James Cook and his men but Issac Davis and John Young we did not kill and I’m Native Hawaiian and I’m a Prince of Hawaii and I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and so your half wrong about us because Issac Davis and John Young we never killed because they taught us Hawaiians Military Tactics wrong we took the guns from James Cook and men and we took James Cooks Mana his Spiritual energy his power so we never killed Issac Davis because my seven time grandfather protected him and so my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 protected Issac Davis and John Young we Hawaiians Protected and so your half wrong because I’m the seventh grandson to Kamehameha 1 and his 30 wives are my step grandmothers his first wife Kanekapolei is my seven time grandmother and so my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 never killed Issac Davis with Poison and so we never killed Issac Davis and John Young because they helped us and taught us Military Tactics and I’m part of the Royal Family so your half wrong about the history of my seven time grandfather Kamehameha 1 because we never killed Issac Davis and John Young because Both of them Issac Davis and John Young helped us Hawaiians so your half wrong

This channel is so immersive, it's unbelievable. THIS is storytelling.
You could almost say „HIstorytelling“
@@cleanixx5343 *ha.*
Someone needs to let Jason Momoa see this.. an epic period piece from him (stars AND directs) would be something else
@@Frosty_tha_Snowman History-telling 100%... not storytelling.
Born and raised in Hawaii and I never learned about the history of Kamehameha in such detail. The things I learned was very sugar coated... this was very eye opening!!
Oh sure same for mainland.......never taught the true history and only lies. DOE makes a mes s anykine everywhere they touch down on. Corrupt they steal cultures starting early on with keiki
Being born and raised in Hawaii most pepole take hawaiiana in school I’m surprised you dident , it goes into way more depth and information on Hawaiian history then what this channel is providing . This channel is missing a lot of important details and mispronouncing a lot of names , but it’s the effort that makes me appreciate him , respect .
@@ShaneHenriques bra fr went waipahu for school for all my schooling and they only ever talked about hawaiian history in intermediate and high school
As a half Hawaiian living on the 9th island I always feel like my Hawaiian heritage has been concealed and held back from me. I love channels like these that help me understand my heritage better.
I encourage you to drop blood quantum and embrace all parts of your heritage. Blood quantum has eugenics all through it. Our ancestors fought hard to have us here in the future. And they're so proud of you. You're their legacy
You live on Nihoa? That’s the 9th island. Last I heard people haven’t lived there for hundreds of years.
King Kamehameha conquered ALL of Hawaii with only a 10,000 strong army. When his enemies saw his force they proclaimed "IT'S OVER 9,000!!!
Same. The people here are really mature 🥲.
yep finally .
Right😂
@@thatguykundai No we're not. Just keeping a lid on it for the moment😎
A 10,000 strong army armed with modern (at that time) weapons including rifles, cannons, and western military advisors.
At the same time, the chiefs on the other island he fought in battle to "unite" the Hawaiian islands had none of these things in their possession.
So not too surprising that he was able to make them all submit to his rule through the use of force (well it was either that or die, which many of them actually chose to do!).
“The Lonely One” has got to be one of the coolest names in history
We Polynesians are proud warriors at birth. Born as warriors with the blood flowing through us. We are few compared to other races but strong and proud.Polynesian,Native Americans,Indigenous peoples are few now. But we have so much rich history and cultures I'm also indigenous Puerto Rican taino and Cherokee,Egyptian mixed with Hawaiian and Maori.
What a mix
As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, I am really excited to see this video.
I wasn't born in Hawaii, but I was raised there and taught about Hawaiian culture and history from a young age. My Hawaiian teachers always encouraged me to teach others about Hawaii, as on the mainland, the Hawaiian culture and history is very misunderstood. It always makes me happy when I see other people passionate about Hawaii.
@@Anonemus7 Feelings mutual
How accurate was the video?
@@juwonoh2478 Pretty well done. Definitely showed off aspects of old Hawaiian culture correctly. I really liked how Kamehameha was portrayed here. Doesnt overly glorify him and had shown his brutality and shortcomings really well. He is a very revered figure by natives and locals in Hawaii and sometimes overlook some negative aspects of Kamehameha which I do have trouble ignoring. Of course, it has been a while since I have been taught about Hawaiian history. Actually learned some new stuff here too. I am not sure if it is totally 100% accurate. Very few history videos in general are able to get everything correct anyway. Yet, I will say it is a very good portrayal of the formation of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the reign of Kamehameha.
@@juwonoh2478 pretty damn close. A little dramatized, but the best I've seen yet.
Keopuolani is the highest ranking Hawaiian Monarch in hawaiian history. King Kamehameha had to take off his clothes before he could even look in her direction. thank you history dose, i needed this!
She deserves a statue.
I had never looked at Hawaiian history, and this is my first look and experience at it. Holy hell I did NOT expect such a paradise of islands have a past written in blood
At the time of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, the forces at Kamehameha’s disposal were estimated to be up to 16000, many of whom were armed with muskets supplied by Western traders. By comparison, the contemporary United States Army was less than 3000 strong.
If you look deep enough you will.fibd that my ancestors come from Samoa.
Yes all pacific islands and Maori have a strong warrior culture and been in much war.
Today the Polynesian culture use music and dance to tell these stories as Ancient Polynesia was anything but paradise everything was about blood and power hence the warrior culture that carries on today
Same here
As a maōri from Aotearoa, I find this video awesome and educating. I've learnt more about my Hawaiian whanau and how alike we really are, Kia Ora to all the maoli out there. Shaka
I knew absolutely nothing of Hawaii nor have any connection to it, but this narration, music, and artwork literally made me feel like I was there. Most importantly, you have a way capturing the human experience in history that it makes me try to understand more and more.
This is absolutely top notch!
Yeah, this presentation inspires me to visit the historical sites if I were to visit the Hawaiian Islands, not just the natural-focused parks or volcanoes. They look to have great names like Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park (had to copy/paste that, haha).
@Ryan Otte unfortunately, settler colonialism and that very specific kind of tourism has decimated the islands, and Kānaka have been begging tourists to stop coming. but that’s why these videos are so amazing, they allow us to immerse ourselves in places we’ll never go :)
Simply amazing
Those portraits of each of the characters as they appeared were awesome. Love hawaiian and Polynesia history. This is my favorite video from y'all so far
According to Hawaii's King David Kalakauain his book written in 1888, the Kamehameha lineage is traced to Pilikaeae the Ali'i Chief from Samoa. Sorry, it was not Tahiti nor Kauai nor Marquesas, no more confusion from revisionist historians. Don’t believe me , Buy his book. Also fun Fact Sāmoa has An Island Called Savai’i Sounds Familiar ? Sounds A lot Like Hawai’i. Let’s Talk about the Big Island. Mookini Heiau Is the 1st created Temple Created By Pilikaeae the Ali’i chief of Sāmoa who came from Upolu and near the location is the Birthplace of King Kamehameha The Great. Locates In The North which it’s Called Upolu Point.. which Upolu is an Island In Sāmoa. Therefore King Kamehameha is Sāmoan if his lineage comes from the Ali’i Chief of Sāmoa Pilikaeae accordingly to David Kalakaua the Last King Of Hawai’i.
@@e2dwf976 Truth be told, the Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry lies in Maluku. The Ali'ifuru tribes there are the Melanesian - Malayo Polynesian predate the Polynesians by 20.000 years and invented the outrigger canoe which developed into the Kora Kora (Catamaran) ocean sailer. Our languages are clearly a proto Polynesian branch mixture of the indigenous melanesian and austronesian mix. We have an island which has a capitol called MAKARIKI where since ancient times people gather to celebrate the turn of the year, do you know that name?
Bloody and gory history.
Honestly, this is way better than social studies 7th grade in Hawaii
I'm born and raised in Hawaii. I learned more from this video than I have from any other source
Imagine your whole army not dying in battle, but to a damn VOLCANO.
I bet the hawaiians that faced that thought the gods had turned against them.
There was a battlembetween rome and pontus where a meteorite hit the battlefield so they decided not to fight out of respect for the god who sent it
There are footprints stamped in the lava rocks from the battle in kaʻu dessert. Between Kamehemeha and his cousin keōua.
Makes me think of the "divine hurricane" that destroyed the Huns on their way to invade Japan
@Ray Kailiawa Its in the vid I aint ever make it up, go speak to History Dose instead of me.
It’s a little poetic that such a beautiful and Eden-like Hawai’i isles has so much warfare and brutal violence going on on them.
Humans just like to fight lol
Granted they are sitting on a very violent volcano so its really fitting
Lol Eden like ? This is ghetto paradise hawaii ain’t as beautiful as much like to think I’ve lived here my whole life and every year you see our islands become more and more destroyed by developers

I was told that the Hawaiians were gruesome, but damn now I got a picture of what it looked like.
yes, I will be honest, we were. at the same time we were very cunning with the land and social ssytems. there were two seasons, one of war, and one of peace. we still do the season of peace, which includes many cames and cultural practices
I can not believe how amazing this channel is, just the artwork alone is amazing and gives us a sense of seeing history before our eyes.
As a Filipino, seeing the stories and history of my Polynesian cousins being brought to life in these incredible videos is just awesome. Perhaps you can do one about one about another legendary warrior and chief, Lapu Lapu of Mactan, who defeated the forces of Ferdinand Magellan?
Yes, Joe and I will definitely get to Filipino history sooner or later. We’re both one quarter Filipino from our maternal grandfather

Hell yeah. Filipino warriors and the amazing Filipino people difinitely earned and deserve their space in Pacific Island history. Would love more content on my Pacific Island cousins.
It's funny how Kamehameha saw that his sandal wood strategy was hurting his people so he did something about it. Imagine if our leaders today did anything like that.
They don't see it as their problem, and if worse comes to worse they'll just go somewhere else. Kamehameha couldn't go somewhere else and knew if his people died in the pursuit of wealth he would die.
Hold on a second. The whole point of logging sandal wood was so that he, and he alone, could profit. If he was a morally just person he would never have forced them to cut sandalwood in the first place. He didn't stop because he's some sort of great guy, he stopped so that he didn't have an angry and starving populace coming for his throat.
goku.
But was he man enough to accept responses for the atrocities he did commit?
they do things like that all the time. Kamehameha was a brutal dictator and engaged in conquest. If he were European or American you would call him an evil imperialist.
So... Did Dragonball name the move after this guy?
Kind of! Apparently the creator was looking for a "something-something-HA" sound for an energy attack. His wife jokingly mentioned the name of Hawaii's first king, so he went with it.
i had to read it 8 times to see if it was the same
Nah I think they named him after dragonball
@@HistoryDose who's currently commenting? Chris or Joe?

Legend has it that King Kamehameha marched with an army of 9,001 soldiers and then King Galick Gun fired back with a powerful force and they would clash until a surge of 27,003 soldiers suddenly appeared and overwhelmed the tyrant Galick. King Galick then transformed into a giant monkey and flew into space. An arduous victory for King Kamehameha.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That sounds like something out of Journey to the West
That was dumb lol
It took ten days for King Kamehameha's army to achieve this feat! Of which the actual fighting occurred only for 1 SINGLE DAY! Yes! A single day was enough for King Kamehameha to defeat Galick Gun with his allies Spirit Bomb and Big Bang Attack the Magnificient! For the remainder of the days King Kamehameha and his soldiers SCREAMED as loudly as possible and flexed their RIPPED bodies as they powered up with the power of Goddess Pel'e herself!

Finally Oceanic history 🦈
Superb Story and narration, not to mention the art work. Love this channel! I learned so much about Hawaiian culture from this video.
I have now learned that every time Goku fires off that signature shot, he's saying "the lonely one."
This is easily my favorite channel on TH-cam! Your writing and editing is amazing. I was so excited when I saw last night you’d be releasing a new video today. Thank you for your hard work!!
Thank you! Lot of hard work went into this one for sure!
No way I’ve been a fan of DragonBall Z for 20 years and has no idea this were kamehameha came from 🤯
It’s not dude 🤦🏽♂️ do you smoke crank disrespectful lil shii
Flase. Dbz Kamehameha did not come from king Kamehameha.
@@XlX_Invictus_XlX not false akira did an interview saying he wife suggested the name. Don’t know why you nerds got pressed on this.
@qarcon3247 Hey, I'm sorry about that but I did read your comment wrong not to mention I don't pay attention to anime anymore and I ain't a nerd for simply wanting to correct what the dbz community is getting wrong. I hope you understand.
@qarcon3247 but do you also mind elaborating in how im a nerd in this case?
Mahalo nui loa. Never would I ever think someone would do such an amazing job telling my peoples ancestors story’s. Thank you so much🤎🤎🤎
Phenomenal job! Brutality, cunning, and beauty of it all.
Wow this was made extremely well and accurately. Mahalo nui loa for the time and resources you have put into our history.
Hawaiian history is so rich and cool. The story of the Pali or how Valentine's day means something different in Hawaii just hits different after growing up here.
Man your videos are QUALITY. Thanks.
I grew up on Oahu and have spent many a day hiking and climbing around the site of that battle at the Nu'uanu Pali. It's a breathtaking place. The notches cut into the ridge as cannon emplacements by the defenders are still visible for miles around.
Awesome! Been hoping for exactly this topic since the first of the Pirate King artwork was released!
I'll just be here... waiting.
The way you represent indigenous cultures and their religion has been what I've been looking for in a channel. Thank you!
same
Mahalo nui for sharing this story of our King Kamehameha and how the kingdom came to be. Aloha!
Love these videos keep up the great work man I learn more about history from u than school ever taught me and ur story telling is top tier as well 👍
Mahalo, History Dose for sharing this story with beautiful art, I’ve only watched 2 of your guys videos and this definitely caught my eye. I have an interest in history and see your guys work is very appealing. Gonna start watching more. Mahalo Again
As a Samoan who grew up in Hawaii i love to see this but It’s pretty sad now there’s no full blooded Hawaiians (Kanakas)..Grew up in Oahu & nothing but love & respect to our Hawaiian Braddahs & Sistahs 💪🏽🫱🏽🫲🏼❤️ “Kahuna Nui Hale Kealohalani Makua”
Mahalo nui. Samoan repping for us on the global entertainment stage so all is not lost. Have one full blood left in my family 😔-aunty is 101 and going strong. I’m half (afakasi 😝). We live vicariously through many of our Polynesian kanaktions 🤙 🙏. I think main thing is we maintain connection to our past so we know where we heading, and hopefully everyone in the world can malama each other.
@Ray Kailiawa that's good to know
@Ray Kailiawa as a fellow Tongan I’ve meet some big kanaka Maoli whom I thought were Samoan or Tongan but then told me they were Kanaka Maoli. The connection is felt soon as they say that 💪🏽🤙🏽💯
There aren't?
@@nevaehlheaven at least Not in the city i grew up in Hawaii.
Mahalo for this story and teaching of my history with others.🤙🏾🤙🏾
Your story telling is amazing. Thank you for these stories of humanity
Incredible content yet again! And hats off to Joe, the art is phenomenal, and combined with your narration it brings more life to a part of history often overlooked. Looking forward to whatever you put out next!
This is insane work man. Breath taking
Amazing art to tell the story!! Excellent work.
Amazing production!!! Thank you!!!
