“Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them.”
― John Green
"Don't make a girl a Promise you cant keep"
It wasn’t the samurai’s fault. He was forced to marry another.
Oh definitely! But try explaining that to his lord. Lords didn't care, and Samurai didn't really have a choice.
@@jakecarroll9500 everyone has a choice to a certain degree. He had a choice not to make such a promise and he had a choice to leave his comfortable live to keep the promise (aka fleeing the district).
Forced or not, always keep your promises even if it kills you. The samurai had a choice, either die trying to keep his word or break a promise to the person he loved most.
Agreed.
the story probably exists, so Japanese people won't cheat or like marry someone after the death of their spouse, in the old times of course.
The dead wife expected her husband to commit seppuku to follow her in death instead of obeying his lord to marry again. His fate was merely postponed. Even European culture feared the jealous ghost of a previous dead wife. During the 1800s the bride of a widower would sometimes wear a black wedding gown to respect the dead wife in hopes she wouldn't haunt the living.
The true guilty parties were the 1st wife who requested that he never marry, and the Lord who knew the promise had been made but told him to marry anyway. If I was a member of that clan, I'd be furious at him.
He shouldnt have made a promise if he wasnt able to keep it. He was guilty.
@@DeaDellaFortuna look we all make promise we can keeo it up when it is forced due if it was a woman that made the promeise she would keep it up no
I think it's quite selfish that the first wife asked her husband to not marry another and be happy for him
@KnowThySelf he didn't have foresight. "He kept his promise and ignored all other women" He couldn't ever know he'd be forced. He also kept his promise to never let her memory be replaced.
@KnowThySelf I could imagine what Izanagi-no-Mikoto might be feeling at this point while watching this video...
This story gave me chills down my spine. The storytelling was fantastic on this one keep it up🔥🔥
thanks
@@SeeUinHistory This story to me is like my life : Sometimes you just can't win no matter what you do . 😮💨♑️✍️🇦🇺🇸🇯
Gonna get back, back to the Past, Samurai Jack!
yeah the first wife had no right to control the mans life beyond the grave, and it wasn't the samurais fault for not wanting a new wife, he tried hard to keep his promise
But if it wasn't the samurai's fault to begin with, then I guess NO ONE is to blame?....Wait, I'm actually confused 🤨
He had sworn an oath without thought, an oath which he should have known could not be kept. Promises held more weight back then than they do today. His breaking of it was what brought this upon them all as a broken promise was always followed by terrible consequences. It made it impossible for his wife to find peace. Her wish for him to not remarry was most likely not out of a desire for control. In traditional Shinto belief there is an underworld where the souls of the dead go and she likely hoped that they would be reunited there. But if he remarried they could not be togheter in the afterlife as his heart would likely now belong to his new wife. Yes, the wife was buddhist but Buddhism and Shintoism were pretty much merged in Japan.
It's also important to note that his wife wasn't herself. Ghosts like her are known as Onryo, spirits that are filed with overwhelming amounts of rage and grief. They are in a constant state of pain due to these feelings and being unable to rest in peace. She may very well have been a great person in life but upon his breaking of the promise her spirit was twisted. It's kinda like vampires in Bram Stokers Dracula, where once a person returns from the dead as a vampire they have become a foul thing. It doesn't matter how pure they were in life, their corruption is absolute.
@@brucejedilee5290 AND WHO"S FAULT IS THAT?!?
@@jose.lfurtado6245 The Samurais fault mainly
@@jose.lfurtado6245 Actually you should be confused. Nobody , including the ghost, lived upt to their standards anyways. An awsome Gore flic for sure. But I didnt learn anything or find it scary. Ghost = walmart customer.
Truly appreciate the marvelous story along with narrating and editing. Keep up the good work ☺️👍
Awesome story! And we need more told like this.
If she was like this at the end of her life and in death, it's easy to figure out how she truly was when alive whenever her husband wasn't around.
I think you and many other missjudge her due to a possible lack of understanding of the culture and believes these people held back then. Her wish for him to not remarry was most likely not out of a desire for control. In traditional Shinto belief there is an underworld where the souls of the dead go and she likely hoped that they would be reunited there.

@@brucejedilee5290 Ah I see, I see. I actually know a decent amount about Japanese culture, especially from talking to a friend of mine who is from there. This was something that I wasn't aware of as far as to why she might have become like that as I was mainly thinking from a possible psychological stand point as in many cultures worldwide there are stories of spirits like the Onryo. Some of them became that way as they were wicked people in life and became worse in death, as how you are in life will carry over in death. But the fact that the explanation you gave as to why this most likely triggered her to become one also makes a lot of sense and makes both women's fate very tragic. I was aware of the Onryo but not that the factors that you gave that could cause it as I don't recall it coming up when I was reading about the different types of spirits. Thank you for sharing and explaining this, I also apologize for taking so long to reply.
the samurai should've listened and let the other wife go, her death would've been avoided and said no to the first one on that promise too, good story telling.
I'm guessing the first wife was a monster before she died.
Why? Because she didn't want him to remarry? From the standpoint of someone who doesn't believe in the afterlife it is a logical assumption. But the people back then saw the afterlife as a fact and in this story it clearly is. In traditional Shinto belief there is an underworld where the souls of the dead go and she likely hoped that they would be reunited there. But if he remarried they could not be togheter in the afterlife as his heart would likely now belong to his new wife. Yes, the wife was buddhist but Buddhism and Shintoism were pretty much merged in Japan.
I feel chill every bones of my body while watching this... What a great animation and narration at the same time 🙏❤️
You guys have come such a long way so proud of you guys
Pretty selfish of the woman to make such a request on her deathbed.
She didn't make such a request. The samurai gave her that ridiculous oath on his own.
His dead wife was egoistic.
A good partner would never blame their beloved one for seeking happiness, even if it means that they'd be happy with another(not а cheating).
I know stories where couples broke up voluntarily due to the most various problems, which threatened their relationship, but not because of each other. In those stories they weren't angry at each other for finding a new partner, even vice versa.
Loving someone is not about how your partner satisfies you enough or conversely, but about how you let each other be happy no matter what.
It was a really childish action from her.
But hey, who am I to criticize someone who perhaps was fictional. Also she definitely was a teenager, and not all of them morally mature fast enough. She wasn't called a young girl for no reason after all...
I disagree. The Samurai knew the weight of his promise. He shouldn’t have made the promise to her to begin with. The ex-wife’s actions came from his choice to make (and break) his word. Instead of making that promise, he should have explained to his dying wife that he would need companionship after she is gone, and that if he was on his deathbed, then he would want her to remarry so that she wouldn’t be alone
Her wish for him to not remarry was most likely not out of a desire for control. In traditional Shinto belief there is an underworld where the souls of the dead go and she likely hoped that they would be reunited there. But if he remarried they could not be togheter in the afterlife as his heart would likely now belong to his new wife. In short, their relationship didn't end but was rather a long distance one but they would eventually meet again
@@brucejedilee5290 woah, never thought about that perspective...
Thank you for informing me
@@user-cp3le5li1t Another interesting and tragic aspect about this story and her character is why she was so cruel as a ghost. His wife wasn't actually herself anymore and if she had seen the future in life she would likely be as horrified by her actions as her husband was. The type of ghost she turned into are known as Onryo. They are spirits that are filed with overwhelming amounts of rage and grief. These ghosts are in a constant state of pain due to these feelings and from being unable to rest in peace. She was probably a good person in life but upon his breaking of the promise her spirit was twisted.
It's kinda like vampires in Bram Stokers Dracula, where once a person returns from the dead as a vampire they have become a foul thing. It doesn't matter how pure they were in life, the corruption of living-death is absolute.
Now this is a great story well done 👍
Kinda reminds me how uhtred of babbenburg gave so much importance to his oath. Surely the order of a mighty daimyo takes precedence over a promise. Even if he dies, he had to follow orders
Is it possible that the guards killed his wife?
I learned alot in this Channel and it's the best for Story telling so far
Japanese snacks are so good and great story about Samurai's Broken Promise.
That's great story telling, expecting more like this best wishes brother
Thanks for the video
Love Japanese Mythology⛩
Thanks guys.
💛 all your video's mate 👍.
Man that gave me the serious chills
Elated that you guys got a sponsor!
good vid😄
Japanese ghost stories go HARD!
Great story and illustration! Can Teke teke be the next one ??
Good vid ❤️❤️
I like this story but it's too terrifying, watching this at 2 am!
Great storytelling 👌🏽😮💨 so is this birth of seppeku ?
Fantastic story, even better story telling and superb art. You guys only get better with time. ;) History joke.
The Legend of Sun Wukong the Monkey King!
Sounds like a KEANU ALL ALONG PROBLEM
Simon says lady dy
i second this
My grandpa been to Okinawa back in 1961 when he was in the Navy now it's been almost 4 years since he passed
I Consider Myself Samurai! I Believe Samurai Must Keep Their Word! From This Day On I Will Always Keep My Word!
Moral of the story: Don't make promises you can't keep.
Awesome and cool! ^_^
That was so Sad for his new wife. 😢
The first wife should not have asked for such a promise and the samurai shouldn't have made it. An oath is an oath and it shouldn't be given recklessly and whit out consideration.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!
A good horror story of Halloween👻. Got any more for then?
Well that freaked me out 😃
Tragic
And so...Izanagi-no-Mikoto declared war on the Shogunate. and thus, A battle between Heaven & Earth commenced for many years to come...
The first wife is a horrible person not letting her husband to be able to move on.
Poor guy...
"never make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it" by cortana in halo 3
Crazy women torturing guys before and after they die. Man’s ultimate nightmare … let’s hope he’s able to get away from both wives in the afterlife lol
She wasn't crazy, she likely hoped they'd be reunited in the afterlife so they could continue their relationship there. A logical thing if you beleive in a life following this whcih all japanese did back then
The lesson here is never break a promise ancient times or present times you shall not cross the line of a promise
POV: you married Azula and she died young that's why she wasn't in Legend of Korra
There isn't a stronger samurai than Zoro.
I thought Zorro was a swashbuckling, swordfighting, vigilante.
@@veronicageorge3825 I'm talking about anime zoro
@@drumsofliberation3470 ok, thanks for the clarification
@@drumsofliberation3470 what does this have to do with anything??
@@Lucerna999 If you don't watch One piece, I don't expect you to understand.
People who's dieing wish is that their partner lives the rest of their life lonely are selfish. Like, first of all. Your dead. You won't know or care what happens after you pass. The idea of respecting the dead is a humans idea and built on respecting loved ones. Dead don't care. Let your spouse live their life. Let them fall in love. They won't forget you. But they also don't want to be stuck on an empty handed promise either. It would tear me up if I did that to my family. I would want them to live life to its fullest and if thats in someone else's arms. Then so be it. I'd rather have them walk the path of life with joy than be haunted by pain.
You show a lack of understanding of the world they lived in. She would have cared after she died because death isn't the end in traditional japanese belief. In traditional Shinto belief there is an underworld where the souls of the dead go and she likely hoped that they would be reunited there. But if he remarried they could not be togheter in the afterlife as his heart would likely now belong to his new wife. In their eyes their relationship wasn't ending with her death but merely becoming a temporary long distance one.
can i know where u read this comix bouks ?
Well, that went down hill quick.
now I see why most anime or dark and brutal because it's inspired by their mytholedgy
😢😭💔
The living with the living.The dead with the dead.We have our word in life but after it the rest are free.
Legend of Wukong The Monkey King Should Be Next
Those were some pretty selfish AND toxic promises she wanted her soon-to-be widower to keep!
Wow... For a dying woman, she's so selfish she could have said let me go and love again
What main character name
Here we go again :
Playing the blame game
No one is ready to feel empathy for a tragedy only blame game satisfies the human mind yet not heart
I am samurai
No you're not
if your watching jav you know its not a terrifying story when he lived his wife with her two trusted men...btw this was awesome...
Was this samurai named Jon Snow?
This can’t be good with the Samurai dishonor the code not good
oodia haberse metido onle
Well, I wasnt a fan of this story, but tasts are always different :)
The moral of the story is never break a promise
"Don't make a girl a Promise you cant keep"
Does anyone is getting feelings of this was somehow inspired by popular movies?
Actually this story is pretty ancient and dates back to feudal era Japan
Looking for fairy tales to tell the kids...Think I'll stick to the Little Red.
Good idea
Those samurai in ww2 were the ones that persuaded the Japanese government to never stop at what they're doing. They'd rather commit harakiri than to surrender to the american forces.
Japan is superior
There were no Samurai in WW2
@@brucejedilee5290 the soldiers still followed the outdated samurai codes and discipline, and they're even descendants of samurai clans.
Women would always try to take off your right for marriage; even before you can marry her!
When it comes to marriage, there can be vows, but no promises!🧐
I approve the moral of this story🙏😎
Moral of the story: you are owned by your Japanese wife even after her death.
OH, COME ON!!!!!!!! MORE ARTHURIAN!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!
Why don't he tell his master of the promise to his old wife that mite of save them
Uhm wha?
The Trojan war new vids where they at.
the dying wife was a very selfish and Stingey person.
Ghost = Walmart Customer
Yandere?
If I was the ghost wife I would've punished the lord who forced her husband to break his promise to marry another woman.
The lord did his duty, the Samurai made a promise he couldn't keep
That was intense but that was really good. 🫢
