The supposed collision requires more detail. The Emperor Seamounts disappear into the Aleutian Trench, where the Pacific Plate subducts. When it changed direction it headed more toward Asia, so blaming an Asian collision for the change in direction seems unlikely. More detail on this, please.
Why does something bend? Because due to an obstacle. A river around a mountain. A tree growing towards light. A vine around a pole. A road bypassing a tree, house...
I'll go one better. The hot spot track is far longer and more complicated than you think because the earths crust has been doing some serious moving around. The hot spot track goes far under Kamchatka almost to the mid Atlantic rift fault in Siberia because it fractured near Kiska and then was subducted. Before the fracture it followed the bowers ridge and then comes ashore at 60 n 170 e and goes north to near Wrangel island and follows the alpha ridge to Elsmere island and Greenland. Probable age 156 million years or more. It is probable that north America rotated clock wise and then got pushed south westwards. If true it puts a whole new spin on geologic history. I am using the 8 cm per year plate movement speed stated by Dr. Mike Poland and google earth to plot the hot spot track.
There’s much more to the “Big Bend” than the island chain; look at Google Earth renderings of the region; due West of the Emperor Chain is a very deep trench, which appears to be a [former?] subduction zone, parallel to and nearly as long as the chain. What are the origin tests of the Emperor Chain? Is it identical to the Hawaiian Chain or a volcanic arc? If it’s an arc, there is no bend and would show the HHS was birthed by a spreading ridge, like the other oceanic hot spots, including Yellowstone.
19.5 Jupiter, Neptune (north and south) Mars. You think that pattern would tell you it's more plate movement then a drifting hot spot. And why can't you date it from the speed of the motion of the plate vs. some sketchy radioactive dating methods? What, is there some kind of discrepancy you're trying to hide from us?
I don't think hotspots "move" they are "mantle plumes" and the mantle of the earth is a thick lump around the whole planet. I half think that ocean spreading is a mild linear plume near the surface, but the heat difference across the ocean bottom from 1 side of the ocean to another is not major, so if a shock to the ocean floor occurs due to some collision then the difergence can shift direction. Unlike continental crust the ocean crust is so similar in all spots there is no great density difference in any direction, so divergence and direction can randomly shift so long as the same amount of heat energy keeps being released to the surface. I could be very wrong,....
Just an addition. I don't know if hot spots move on earth, but on Neptune, it had a giant storm at 19.5 degrees in its southern hemisphere. At some point it disappeared. Later observations showed the giant storm reappeared on Neptune, however it was at 19.5 degrees in the northern hemisphere. Magnetic poles also drift gradually for some time. The storm on Neptune disappeared completely, and no observed drift occurred, it just suddenly reappeared in the northern hemisphere. This guy seems to avoid the controversy of why this plate change motion didn't affect other island changes in the south pacific by saying that basically there was a subduction zone just south of the more east west undersea Hawaiian mounts. Maybe he's saying that the pacific plate was broken there, and that allowed the plates to move separately from the south pacific, until that northern pacific plate slammed conveniently into the Eurasian plate thanks to a, who's knows how Kamchatka formed, slammed into the Eurasian plate causing the supposed, North Pacific plate, to look for an easier direction of motion by moving east west to form the east west motion of the Hawaiian chain, then finally the North Pacific plate mysterious suduction zone (plate division) recombined forming a continuous Pacific Plate. Well hot damn, how do you like those dominoes.
LOL. A total comedy of errors. Thanks for the entertainment. "Subduction" lol! Go back to grade school and learn that rocks, especially deep ocean floor basalt, don't bend.
Taken into context with the Ring of fire that's a great overall explanation of the reason for it's existence. Thx , brief and comprehensive 👍
Been looking for this info for years. Thanks
I have been waiting for this info for 50 m years. Finally everything is clear now, we can move on.

Wasn't it about the same time that the Indian Plate collided with Asia?
wtf my teacher told us to watch this for homework but i have already watched this video before and liked it- bruh i have no memory of this

the earth crust unlock from mantal every 12000 year at same time sun corna stutdown

Okay wait, what?? It wasn't due to the collision of the Indian subcontinent with Asia???
Huh??
