Berserkers actually did wear armor, usually equipped with the best one they could afford, the thing is that in battle the most visible thing would be the animal pelts which would cover the armor, thus the British tales of warriors equipped with nothing but pelts.
from what i know vikings wore very little armor but their advantage was that they were fast and agile, thats because they lived in cold places and their boats weren’t very effective so wearing iron armor and stuff would be really bad
No, the viking skeletons suggest an average height of 5'7 on average which is still very tall. Think about it, here in America the average height is 5'9, I'm 5'11 and not the tallest guy in the room usually.
Does the assumption that Vikings weren’t well trained and disciplined have any validity in history? I’d imagine a culture that revolved around raids would be practically training since birth.
They were trained from young ages to defend them selves and family when their dads and or mothers (shieldmaidens) were out. Around the age of 12-14 they'd pledge loyalty to their Jarl (lord/chief) they're now considered men and practice to prepare for raids and war against other vikings. But in the end they were a agricultural society that mostly relied on their crops and only raided when in need of money for trade with other viking settlements, and later England, France and Arabic states because as you know: the language of gold and silver is spoken everywhere in the world.
they did since a child can work or hold a axe without dropping it he gets trained in a special martial arts and trained in fighting with a axe bow spear and sword
I've studied both Japanese as well as Norse culture and I will say that over the past few years I fell more towards the side of the Norse culture and I am extremely obsessed with the Berzerkers. But with that comes a lot of different theories and I know that there are two main types of berserkers which were 1.The obvious Berserkers (Bear Coats) and 2.Ulfhednar (Wolf Coats) mostly known as Odin's Special Warriors. Ulfhednar were said to be agile, quick and very strategic hence the reason they were Odin's Special Warriors. The Berserkers were as you described, but it the case of the Bear Coats there have been several studies leaning towards amanita muscaria playing a huge roll in their behavior. The statements were that before battle, their ritual of protection and victory also consisted of consuming the mushrooms which were described as "putting them in a trance-like fury" and also worked as a stimulant giving them the ability to move at "Superhuman speeds" and already being strong, now it's rage and speed on their side. I always had a theory about accounts of ancient hound warriors described as human/dog hybrid beings that were insanely violent and had speeds no human could match. I almost wonder if translation got distorted along the lines or if people were so traumatized by the behavior of the ulfhednar that they literally believed they saw human/dog hybrids in battle.

They didn’t go over all the different types of armor that were used in the Edo period as well as the other armor styles. Furthermore the “load out” for the Samaria could be vastly different depending on what their role was in a battle. Yes it’s true infantry men usually had a bow, a sword and a spear, it would not be likely that a Viking would get a chance to see the samurai before he was nailed with a volley of arrows. Samaria avoided single combat preferring ambush tactics when not with a Calvary
I agree; even if the Berserker is not over 6 ft tall, their rage induced beast mode is something the samurai would not have seen before, and all the training in the world doesn't stop shock factor.
10:06 actually there was one side that was sharp and delicate and one side that was blunt and strong. The sharp side would be used for slicing and the blunt edge would be used for parrying and defence.
Wrong the back of the sword Was soft and if you Party there you bend the blade or break it. Katanas were like an Offiziers Revolver or sidearm in modern war
Wrong the back of the katana is so soft you would bend the katana or snap it in half. Katanas were made for Quick desive moves not prolonged battles. Even against thier own Kind katanas suffered alot of damage. Its even shown in japance Art and depictions of battles.
This is quite acurate... for a For Honor setting. If you want to know the real berserkers and samurai, watch skallagrim, metatron, shadiversity or lindybeige.
@@jularv8328 maybe saying they exaggerated a lot is a bit much. What I mean is they made certain aspects pop out. It's not actually a bad thing. The battle rage looks like their doing a video game rage mode. Which i think was the point.
This was already debated years ago, when the spike channel ran the first season of Deadliest Warrior. The samurai won. And later on the Japanese sword had varying lengths; ranging from the wakizashi about 17 to 20 inches long, the chisa katana ranging from 22 to 24 inches long, the regular katana ranging from 26 to 30 inches long, the tachi ranging from 32 to 36 inches long, and even the odachi or nodachi which was almost over 4 ft in length, and was the Japanese equivalent to the Scottish claymore.
But keep in mind that the vikings were much more experienced in battle mostly from civil disputes. The axe was probably the most useful weapon in those days second to a spear. As it said that the japanese arent arent as experienced due to long lasting peace. Samurai tend to do well but lack the shields for protection. The shield wall and tactics of the vikings would eat the samurai alive. The lack of fear of death is also a big play.
@@coencleland1025 the Samurai have been fighting for centuries longer then the Vikings were an established thing. They had way more civil disputes and warfare then the Vikings. Even so Samurai Swords of many types are still vastly sharper. The Samurai were also Sword cavalry like spearman as well. They would've won without a doubt. The Vikings mainly prayed on weaker foes where as the Samurai have been fighting eachother, the Mongolians,Koreans ans even Chinese all of which very advanced opponents and still came out on top many times.
@@tauempire1793 Despite common belief that vikings were blood thirsty they were actually much more civil and had chain mail armor over them along with a spear this also made them faster than a samurai. samurai weapons are Easily prone to breaking not to mention the armor they wore was less than ideal. I would honestly say that it would be a tie considering that they both use polearm/spears. Besides both get Destroyed by knights
@abis8 alpha8 you say that like samurai were the only ones that had horse archery. Knights overall were technologically more advanced but it Depends on the time period. samurai had tons of gaps in the armor too. I should probably stop the conversation here to not spark an all out war.
@abis8 alpha8 seems all you wanted out of an argument was to win. As I said samurai gear were Easily broken such as the katana. We all know that the knights had better quality technology and gear such as the plate armor which was lightweight and Durable compared to samurai armor. stop padding out the conversation please. Edit: knights Did ride horses
Yup. Spears were the weapon of choice for almost all armies in history prior to the invention of firearms. Spear also had the exact same effectiveness as swords when used by skilled soldiers. Swords are kind of... romanticized
@@i_critique_your_vanity7216 you say same effectiveness but I don’t see armies stopping a Calvary charge with swords, lol and you have to think pike and riflemen were around during the guns early days
the video is inacruate. japanese swords were the best made sowords in the world. and a samurai would one shot a viking or miss and be killed instantly. thats what would happen
It’s important to note that samurai were extremely knowledgeable of the human anatomy and knew all of the locations for major arteries, that being said it would only have taken them one slash at an artery that a Viking may not know exists, leaving them to bleed out
@@hmad898 Knowledge on human anatomy wasn't _that_ limited. The Samurai were more than mere Nobles in fancy armour. Though it may also depend on which period of history we are talking. Also, the Samurai had a detailed understanding of human anatomy, and had knowledge on things such as pressure points. As did the ancient Chinese... We are given a window into that truth through the design of the katana. Katana are designed with precision in mind: Meaning, Japanese swords are _catered_ for delivering accurate or precise hits to be effective - such as striking tendons or, as pointed out by Worrall, major arteries.
Im from Norway, and i just love the Viking and Samurai history both had great warriors. happy to have genes from brutally viking warriors with no fear!
Most Samurai primary weapon is a Yumi BOW - Katana was the equivalent of a modern day side arm. Only used as an emergency. Btw he does mention this on the video
@@ravvyyn - for most, a katana was a sidearm, and in later periods, a wakizashi was the side arm TO the sidearm. However primarily, different types of spears and other polearms were used.
@@jaydenbecker9740 I agree. When comes to their VS episodes they seem to have winner already chosen and just research enough to prove their confirmation bias.
You realise Deadliest warrior is very inaccurate and also there is the element of chance to think about through out history their have bee evidence where the underdog came out victorious over the stronger opponent, in other words the samurai won’t always win against the Viking.
@@bufordtjustice1156 it was spartan vs ninja which is a TERRIBLE match up. The Spartan simply having that big shield just gave him an absolute unfair advantage over the ninja. Maybe Spartan vs Samurai would have made more sense and a much better match up.
It's important to bear in mind that this warriors evolved differently based on their circumstances. If they had come into contact, they would had developped different tactics and equipement to face each other, like for example, if the blades and armor of the samurai were of little use or even a hindrance, they could have addapted by using blunt weapons like the tetsubo and reducing the ammount of armour they wore. The berserker could have opted for even bigger and stronger shields to protect against the samurai's bow.
There would be no adaptation. By the end of the sangoku jidai the japanese already employed mass volley pike and zhot tactics and about 1/3 of samurai had teppo. The vikings would never win.
@@robertharris6092 Allow me to disagree, I don't think the Japanese would be able to repeal a Viking invasion. In a hypothetical case in which you would swap the British Isles and the Japanese Isles, taking into account how the Viking invasion went, I think the Japanese would have it harder to stop them, the equipment of the vikings was much better quality, and the viking weapons would be very effective against japanese armour, but not the other way around. Basically, chainmail laughs at cutting weapons, which are all the main samurai weapons, yet axes would ignore samurai armour like paper. Plus the quality of viking steel surpasses that of the Japanese, a lot.
@@TheRewasder97 the yari. A stabbing weapon. Was the most used weapon in japan. The yumi was the samurais primary weapon and first weapon every samurai was trained to use sin ellce childhood and was more powerful than an english longbow. But more importantly. The samurai had guns. 100s of thousands of them. Firing in mass volleys by unites protect by formations of spear men. This is called a pike and shot formation. It was what was used in europe from around the 1500s up to the 1700s. Samurai armor is also literaly bullet proof as blacksmiths would literaly show of their skills by shooting their armor at point blank with a musket. Japanese armor was easily comparable to european plate. And was built extremely similarly by the late sangoku jidai. The laborus forging techniques used by the japanese also removed the impuritys in the iron thus making difference in iron quality irrelevant. The katana is a largely ceremonial weapon not designed and rarely ever used on the battlefield. This is the case in literally the entire world. Long swords are never the primary weapon for any army. The samurai also had the naginata which was also very popular. A glave that's comparable to a poleaxe.
Als0 if you want to go to the 1100s. Then samurai are a wlite fighting for e of wealthy land owners that just fought on horseback with bows akin to the mongolians. The vikings wouldn't really be able to do anything about them in that scenario either.
While the armor may weigh over 50 pounds, you didn't take into account where the bulk of that ends up going, and the most sturdy parts of armor are held at the Waist, making them feel much less heavy. This is why we have accounts of Battles going all through the day, with hours of constant fighting.

Just imagine if mammoths had lived long enough for the Vikings to utilize and tame. I would love to see a video about what I t would be like to fight Vikings on mammoths.
Samurai used guns for their last 300 years. It's an L. People also ciritize the katana for being a single edged curved sword, which just makes it better at slashing than a double edged straight blade. And Samurai armor is the most mobile and protective armor on earth. It may not be the most mobile or protective but is was a combonation of both.
And of course the anime pfp is biased towards samurai, doesn’t help that the character on your pfp is from an anime that is primarily set in the feudal era of Japan
As a Norse, ive taken place in berserker rituals. They are boring and usually end with mead. But it's helped me because I learn more control out of combat and loose control in combat.
@@cptcap7531 I don't speak Swedish but I google translated that. I don't know the names of the rituals, but they often have meditation by a fire while my groups leader blesses the group, casts a runic spell and we focus on anger and push it away but not too far.
There used to be a show that went over two different types of fighters, including weapon effectiveness and fighting styles, and then recreating how they’d think it would go. It was pretty great.
There's one more factor that this video leaves out: intelligence. The berserker may have the samurai beat in brute strength and physicality, but in his frenzied state, he's little more than a wild animal with almost no capacity for complex strategy or tactics whatsoever. This, of course, is something the samurai can easily exploit, especially with his bow. Furthermore, the samurai had other weapons he can use against the berserker, including the kanabo, with which he can damage the berserker's shield and break his shield arm, if not pulverize him outright.
It‘s funny cause the samurai that were around during the Viking times were mainly mounted archers. They still fought with swords but not with as much emphasis.
@@hattorihaso2579 Yes they did, just not as commonly as people think. In battle, a samurai would primarily use a polearm like yari or naginata. Their swords were used as a last resort.
Ancient Asian warriors are most feared by their horsemanship and archery skills . The Samurais would win 80% in individual dueling and 100% in mass scale warfare . Also the Vikings weren’t 6-6”5 back in the day that is their modern heights not in ancient time wdh lol .
not only were Vikings not 6'-6'5" they were not that physically stronger then samurai Also. they did not have triangular metal Shields they had round wood shields .and Vikings did not usually wear thick animal pelts or armor most of them had leather tunics .and samurai armor was actually Pretty agile and strong. so Basically samurai win
I really like this series, it's exactly like a show I watched about a decade ago called Deadliest Warrior where weapons and physical tests would be conducted and advantages for each awarded for two teams of opposite opponents, then it would be input into a computer program and a simulation run to see which group/individual would "win".
The samurai were extremely wealthy, they would often fight on horseback firing arrows onto the enemy. There extremely high quality armor that they could afford offered them protection aswell as decent agility. I believe that the samurai would win the battle mainly due the the high quality weapons/armor and the horse.
The samurais would get off their horses just to cut off the heads of their enemies, plus they would often not collect heads just to shoot their opponents.
You forgot to mention that samurai were trained so that they could do archery on horseback. I dont care how high you are on poison berry seeds. You wont outrun a horse.
@@pyromaniacjack8294 I wouldn't agree on that. For example Genghis Khan was one of the first that had a cavalry with bows, where archers led the horse with their knees. So they had to be very skilled with horses too. The main idea of archers on horses came with Genghis Khan. Sorry for my bad English :p
@@iSpiculus550 First off, your english is very good. Good job, no need to apologise. Secondly, I belive what you state about Genghis and the mongols. What im saying is that samurai started out as horseback archers because they still had boxy O-Yoroi armor and werent very agile yet. Because of them originally only being horseback archers, It would only make sense for that to be their main combat form, as they would have the most time of all their fighting styles to master the horseback archery techniques.
I would assume the samurai's martial arts would help tip the balance of the fight in his favor if it came down to weaponless combat in spite of the berserker's arm reach advantage.
Quite frankly, I think that a samurai would win just because they're skinny and go run around quicker. Vikings were huge back then and it would be very hard for them to keep up with a samurai.
Depends which timeline. There are times when Samurai were underpowered and overpowered. Times when Samurai had weak armor and times when they had guns.
This videos extremely biased in the logic that animal leather would work better as protection vs actual armor. This is the same logic of people saying full plate armor knights are weak because their armor is clunky when in reality knights were actually as close to impenetrable. Steel Armor would be a huge advantage
I think a point missed is that samurai tend to fill in as cavalry and mounted archers. To me, if we don’t include the samurai’s mounted combat I think we shouldn’t include the benefits of the berserker’s berserkergang since those are key to both warriors in actual combat. Though this was very enjoyable!
Well that's just silly. I mean the video is already comparing warriors from hundreds of years apart and thousands of miles. Adding firearms only aggravates things. I guess they needed to have the Samurai face Europeans they could have beaten. Since knights & mercs in plate would have wiped the floor with them.
Considering that japanese war prior to the great wars was mostly against itself (civil wars for local power), that is one of the most nonsense bonus of that game. Well, that and no gunpowder for the Chinese, who basically created gunpowder combat lol
Most Berserkers wore chainmail under the fur, they didn’t use kite shields they used round shields, and they COULD have been 6ft but much more likely to be around 5’7-5’9 which was the average height for them at the time. The saxons considered them giants for that after all.
The guy literally pushes the myth legend or account of "Near Immunity of Fire and blades against Berserkers" but than says " Despite the myths and legend the Katana is inferior to European Swords" Doesn't take that much common sense that its inferior because I'm sure a katana would be ineffective against European metal armor vs The berserk which stated wears Bear Hide Armor.
Of course Viking would win, because Vikings were fighting tribe and Gods of war, Samurai just a warrior. Vikings were liked the Mongolian of the sea. They had the navigation technology and shipbuilding technology were the world's leading at that age. They conquer many countries by the sea. They were the overlord of the sea and the Pirate King in the real world.

Does the assumption that Vikings weren’t well trained and disciplined have any validity in history? I’d imagine a culture that revolved around raids would be practically training since birth.
The Vikings used classic battle tactics like the shield wall if they ever encountered resistance on their raids.
They were trained from young ages to defend them selves and family when their dads and or mothers (shieldmaidens) were out. Around the age of 12-14 they'd pledge loyalty to their Jarl (lord/chief) they're now considered men and practice to prepare for raids and war against other vikings. But in the end they were a agricultural society that mostly relied on their crops and only raided when in need of money for trade with other viking settlements, and later England, France and Arabic states because as you know: the language of gold and silver is spoken everywhere in the world.

Wrong the back of the katana is so soft you would bend the katana or snap it in half. Katanas were made for Quick desive moves not prolonged battles. Even against thier own Kind katanas suffered alot of damage. Its even shown in japance Art and depictions of battles.
Vikings are big and strong while samurais are skilled and verstaile, if they had fought in real it would really be a tough and an interesting war

I literally never heard of this matchup before, this video just happened to play on autoplay
0:07 ''Rage and brute strength versus disciplined skill'' just wanna say that the Vikings had a lot of skills they didn't just have strength
As I’m sure samurai had strength also. Maybe not as much as some Vikings tho
I feel like some parts were extremely exaggerated in this video. Like a lot.
@@lightningpenguin8937 when?
@@jularv8328 maybe saying they exaggerated a lot is a bit much. What I mean is they made certain aspects pop out. It's not actually a bad thing. The battle rage looks like their doing a video game rage mode. Which i think was the point.
Every warrior has discipline but not all are equal. Samurai are too skill full and quick.
This was already debated years ago, when the spike channel ran the first season of Deadliest Warrior. The samurai won. And later on the Japanese sword had varying lengths; ranging from the wakizashi about 17 to 20 inches long, the chisa katana ranging from 22 to 24 inches long, the regular katana ranging from 26 to 30 inches long, the tachi ranging from 32 to 36 inches long, and even the odachi or nodachi which was almost over 4 ft in length, and was the Japanese equivalent to the Scottish claymore.
But keep in mind that the vikings were much more experienced in battle mostly from civil disputes. The axe was probably the most useful weapon in those days second to a spear. As it said that the japanese arent arent as experienced due to long lasting peace. Samurai tend to do well but lack the shields for protection. The shield wall and tactics of the vikings would eat the samurai alive. The lack of fear of death is also a big play.
@@coencleland1025 the Samurai have been fighting for centuries longer then the Vikings were an established thing. They had way more civil disputes and warfare then the Vikings. Even so Samurai Swords of many types are still vastly sharper. The Samurai were also Sword cavalry like spearman as well. They would've won without a doubt. The Vikings mainly prayed on weaker foes where as the Samurai have been fighting eachother, the Mongolians,Koreans ans even Chinese all of which very advanced opponents and still came out on top many times.
@@tauempire1793 Despite common belief that vikings were blood thirsty they were actually much more civil and had chain mail armor over them along with a spear this also made them faster than a samurai. samurai weapons are Easily prone to breaking not to mention the armor they wore was less than ideal. I would honestly say that it would be a tie considering that they both use polearm/spears. Besides both get Destroyed by knights
@abis8 alpha8 you say that like samurai were the only ones that had horse archery. Knights overall were technologically more advanced but it Depends on the time period. samurai had tons of gaps in the armor too. I should probably stop the conversation here to not spark an all out war.
@abis8 alpha8 seems all you wanted out of an argument was to win. As I said samurai gear were Easily broken such as the katana. We all know that the knights had better quality technology and gear such as the plate armor which was lightweight and Durable compared to samurai armor. stop padding out the conversation please. Edit: knights Did ride horses
Vikings never had horns on their helmets, few had swords they were expensive.
They used spears.
Yup. Spears were the weapon of choice for almost all armies in history prior to the invention of firearms. Spear also had the exact same effectiveness as swords when used by skilled soldiers. Swords are kind of... romanticized
@@i_critique_your_vanity7216 you say same effectiveness but I don’t see armies stopping a Calvary charge with swords, lol and you have to think pike and riflemen were around during the guns early days

the video is inacruate. japanese swords were the best made sowords in the world. and a samurai would one shot a viking or miss and be killed instantly. thats what would happen
It’s important to note that samurai were extremely knowledgeable of the human anatomy and knew all of the locations for major arteries, that being said it would only have taken them one slash at an artery that a Viking may not know exists, leaving them to bleed out
Your evidence being? They were nobles in expensive armor in a time where knowledge on human anatomy was very limited.
@@hmad898 Knowledge on human anatomy wasn't _that_ limited. The Samurai were more than mere Nobles in fancy armour. Though it may also depend on which period of history we are talking.
Also, the Samurai had a detailed understanding of human anatomy, and had knowledge on things such as pressure points. As did the ancient Chinese... We are given a window into that truth through the design of the katana.
Katana are designed with precision in mind: Meaning, Japanese swords are _catered_ for delivering accurate or precise hits to be effective - such as striking tendons or, as pointed out by Worrall, major arteries.
Well said ! If i were still a teenager i would most likely agree with you.
Yeah, samurais could also split the atom with their katanas.
It's important to note that your statement is complete bs. Anatomical knowledge during the in feudal Japan was extremely incacurate

Anyone remember Deadliest Warrior? They did this simulation and, while slim, the samurai had a margin of victory over the viking.
Just like this video, deadliest warrior was ridiculous. The research is immensely inaccurate and opinion was more important than facts.
Yea but if I remember correctly they did a episode where the spartan was the best warrior
@@jaydenbecker9740 I agree. When comes to their VS episodes they seem to have winner already chosen and just research enough to prove their confirmation bias.
You realise Deadliest warrior is very inaccurate and also there is the element of chance to think about through out history their have bee evidence where the underdog came out victorious over the stronger opponent, in other words the samurai won’t always win against the Viking.
@@bufordtjustice1156 it was spartan vs ninja which is a TERRIBLE match up. The Spartan simply having that big shield just gave him an absolute unfair advantage over the ninja. Maybe Spartan vs Samurai would have made more sense and a much better match up.
Enemy: *appears and attacks*
Viking: hold on let me eat drugs to make me angry
Enemy: ok
It's important to bear in mind that this warriors evolved differently based on their circumstances. If they had come into contact, they would had developped different tactics and equipement to face each other, like for example, if the blades and armor of the samurai were of little use or even a hindrance, they could have addapted by using blunt weapons like the tetsubo and reducing the ammount of armour they wore. The berserker could have opted for even bigger and stronger shields to protect against the samurai's bow.
There would be no adaptation. By the end of the sangoku jidai the japanese already employed mass volley pike and zhot tactics and about 1/3 of samurai had teppo. The vikings would never win.
@@robertharris6092 Allow me to disagree, I don't think the Japanese would be able to repeal a Viking invasion. In a hypothetical case in which you would swap the British Isles and the Japanese Isles, taking into account how the Viking invasion went, I think the Japanese would have it harder to stop them, the equipment of the vikings was much better quality, and the viking weapons would be very effective against japanese armour, but not the other way around. Basically, chainmail laughs at cutting weapons, which are all the main samurai weapons, yet axes would ignore samurai armour like paper. Plus the quality of viking steel surpasses that of the Japanese, a lot.
@@robertharris6092 have in mind that the sengoku jidai is over 500 years after the vikings invaded England
@@TheRewasder97 the yari. A stabbing weapon. Was the most used weapon in japan. The yumi was the samurais primary weapon and first weapon every samurai was trained to use sin ellce childhood and was more powerful than an english longbow. But more importantly. The samurai had guns. 100s of thousands of them. Firing in mass volleys by unites protect by formations of spear men. This is called a pike and shot formation. It was what was used in europe from around the 1500s up to the 1700s. Samurai armor is also literaly bullet proof as blacksmiths would literaly show of their skills by shooting their armor at point blank with a musket. Japanese armor was easily comparable to european plate. And was built extremely similarly by the late sangoku jidai. The laborus forging techniques used by the japanese also removed the impuritys in the iron thus making difference in iron quality irrelevant. The katana is a largely ceremonial weapon not designed and rarely ever used on the battlefield. This is the case in literally the entire world. Long swords are never the primary weapon for any army. The samurai also had the naginata which was also very popular. A glave that's comparable to a poleaxe.
Als0 if you want to go to the 1100s. Then samurai are a wlite fighting for e of wealthy land owners that just fought on horseback with bows akin to the mongolians. The vikings wouldn't really be able to do anything about them in that scenario either.

While the armor may weigh over 50 pounds, you didn't take into account where the bulk of that ends up going, and the most sturdy parts of armor are held at the Waist, making them feel much less heavy. This is why we have accounts of Battles going all through the day, with hours of constant fighting.
And ya know. Modern soldiers wear more weight less effectively distributed on their body.
Im almost positive it didn't way 50 poundage anyway. Even 15th century knight armor waited just under 30.

Samurai used guns for their last 300 years. It's an L. People also ciritize the katana for being a single edged curved sword, which just makes it better at slashing than a double edged straight blade. And Samurai armor is the most mobile and protective armor on earth. It may not be the most mobile or protective but is was a combonation of both.

There's one more factor that this video leaves out: intelligence. The berserker may have the samurai beat in brute strength and physicality, but in his frenzied state, he's little more than a wild animal with almost no capacity for complex strategy or tactics whatsoever. This, of course, is something the samurai can easily exploit, especially with his bow. Furthermore, the samurai had other weapons he can use against the berserker, including the kanabo, with which he can damage the berserker's shield and break his shield arm, if not pulverize him outright.
U got proof saying berserkers lacked intelligence
@@riotriot6924 You try thinking clearly when you're high on shrooms.
It‘s funny cause the samurai that were around during the Viking times were mainly mounted archers. They still fought with swords but not with as much emphasis.

Samurai actually never fought woth swords
@@hattorihaso2579 Yes they did, just not as commonly as people think. In battle, a samurai would primarily use a polearm like yari or naginata. Their swords were used as a last resort.
@@Ryan-dp4rs except for duels
Ancient Asian warriors are most feared by their horsemanship and archery skills . The Samurais would win 80% in individual dueling and 100% in mass scale warfare . Also the Vikings weren’t 6-6”5 back in the day that is their modern heights not in ancient time wdh lol .
not only were Vikings not 6'-6'5" they were not that physically stronger then samurai Also. they did not have triangular metal Shields they had round wood shields .and Vikings did not usually wear thick animal pelts or armor most of them had leather tunics .and samurai armor was actually Pretty agile and strong. so Basically samurai win
Vikings look like Zangief wearing a bear costume.
I really like this series, it's exactly like a show I watched about a decade ago called Deadliest Warrior where weapons and physical tests would be conducted and advantages for each awarded for two teams of opposite opponents, then it would be input into a computer program and a simulation run to see which group/individual would "win".

The samurai were extremely wealthy, they would often fight on horseback firing arrows onto the enemy. There extremely high quality armor that they could afford offered them protection aswell as decent agility. I believe that the samurai would win the battle mainly due the the high quality weapons/armor and the horse.
Big man vs small man, big man wins.
@@dave972 tell that to the mongols
Vikings have a big arsenal disadvantage. I'm pretty sure raiders tend to lose to armies, and sending the mongles against them is too cruel.
The samurais would get off their horses just to cut off the heads of their enemies, plus they would often not collect heads just to shoot their opponents.
@@Thibull Tell that to HUNDREDS of years of technological difference.

@@iSpiculus550 The mongols probably did that too. But samurai were mainly archers and shot longbows on horseback.
@@pyromaniacjack8294 I wouldn't agree on that. For example Genghis Khan was one of the first that had a cavalry with bows, where archers led the horse with their knees. So they had to be very skilled with horses too. The main idea of archers on horses came with Genghis Khan. Sorry for my bad English :p
@@iSpiculus550 First off, your english is very good. Good job, no need to apologise. Secondly, I belive what you state about Genghis and the mongols. What im saying is that samurai started out as horseback archers because they still had boxy O-Yoroi armor and werent very agile yet. Because of them originally only being horseback archers, It would only make sense for that to be their main combat form, as they would have the most time of all their fighting styles to master the horseback archery techniques.
@@pyromaniacjack8294 that's actually interesting considering that samurai is often pictured as a warrior with a katana

Thank you so much to the creator of this video I watched this during lunch and I cried. it changed my life so much
Most Berserkers wore chainmail under the fur, they didn’t use kite shields they used round shields, and they COULD have been 6ft but much more likely to be around 5’7-5’9 which was the average height for them at the time. The saxons considered them giants for that after all.
I mean, the "Viking sword" was not so T H I C K
But they do have axes
The viking from Stanford bridge was using an battle axe
The guy literally pushes the myth legend or account of "Near Immunity of Fire and blades against Berserkers" but than says " Despite the myths and legend the Katana is inferior to European Swords"
Doesn't take that much common sense that its inferior because I'm sure a katana would be ineffective against European metal armor vs The berserk which stated wears Bear Hide Armor.
Of course Viking would win, because Vikings were fighting tribe and Gods of war, Samurai just a warrior. Vikings were liked the Mongolian of the sea. They had the navigation technology and shipbuilding technology were the world's leading at that age. They conquer many countries by the sea. They were the overlord of the sea and the Pirate King in the real world.
