@@ayakuweb how did you come up with that sentence? You can read about it being the oldest board game still played pretty much in the first paragraph on wikipedia. It really kills the whole video for me.
well there is a logic about the progression: at first sai's games are almost 100% shuusaku, but as he starts to learn modern go via internet then suddenly his games are from modern pros
Love these facts! Only one thing I'd like to note, Go isn't just over 100 years old, it's well over 2,000 years old! Some believe it may have even originated 4,000 years ago, in ancient China. Samurai were taught Go, and it was recognized as one of the 4 noble arts, or methods, one could be learned in, the other 3 being calligraphy, painting, and poetry.
@@FiFiFilth Japanese Samurai were not known for being taught Go. The OP sandwiched the word samurai in between the history of Go in China and what seems like the 4 Arts, so it just screams they misworded Chinese scholars as samurai. From wikipedia: The four arts (simplified Chinese: 四艺; traditional Chinese: 四藝; pinyin: Sìyì), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic talents required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They were the mastery of the qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
This series needs an anime reboot. It’s such a shonen masterpiece and an underrated gem.
Thanks for your comment! And I agree. This series is one of the best stories to come out of Shonen Jump and it deserves an anime reboot.
They rereleased the footage in HD for the 20th anniversary recently!
i agree as well.
And a second season
I would love that!!!!!!!
"The game of Go has been around for more than 100 years" - I feel you could have gone further with that statement.
@@VanderWolls Im actually thinking of doing another Hikaru no Go video so I'll probably go into depth with the history. Thanks for watching!

While I agree with most of what you wrote, I think Samurai were Japanese warriors and not Chinese.
yes, Go is 2,000 years old
although not in its present form
no komi (which i like)
and a 17 x 17 board
(instead of 19 x 19)
@@seloranswivelton He did not say Samurai are chinese. Read the whole thing again.

great video, this anime was one of my favorites as a kid growing up
I have just watched this anime. So amazing. I love it so much.
Please make many videos about this anime.
Thanks ❤❤❤
I just came here after watching the Chinese drama adaptation of this. It's so good.
I think it's insanely bad. Looks and feels like cheap soap opera.
jjk fans have cursed the words Heian era for me
