Putting so many oddities and mis-visualisations portraying the Edo-era and Japan itself aside, I appreciate your efforts to tell one of our ancestors’ famous historic stories, thank you.
glad I'm not the only one who thought that! Like the whole 'ninjas wearing black and their faces covered inblack' is a complete myth, it has actually been traced to when stage hands during plays would wear all black when moving props off and on stage, lol.
All samurai were talking in Tokyo city boys dialect and I swear one samurai was speaking in Vietnamese or something Southeast Asian, some dressed like Chinese or other Asian and some soldiers in the battle were all in Mongolian armor. It is like watching American civil war documentary with Spaniards, French, British, and Russian heritage all mixed in one. Like Asian can't tell White men apart, White men can't tell Asian apart or they just don't give a s***. Can't complain though, I enjoyed it.
Wow. This is perhaps the best documentary I've ever seen on this subject. KUDOS. If I may add one interesting point regarding "seppuku," or ritual suicide. Sometimes the shogun would order a woman or even a young child to kill themselves, as well. But in these cases, the "second" (or, beheader) would be ordered to wait until they simply reached for the knife before mercifully killing them. This action alone would prove their courage, so they often did it like this. Nice guys...
I was doing demolition in a place called Marcia Rd, southeast London 🇬🇧 in 1999. The machine driver went into the loft of 1 of the victorian tenements and 20 mins later I saw him leaving with what looked like an expensive katana wrapped in the Japanese rugs the use. I never saw him again. Must of sold it for enough to quit his job 2:22:44
😅🤣 Okay..... so this was pretty entertaining. If for nothing else, at least enjoyable to laugh at for pretending to be a historical documentary lol. This is stright up fiction I grew up watching doc like this on the history channel in the early 2000s. Its a real trip to watch a fictional documentary like this again now that im more knowledgeable about the actual history. I used to take these as gospel back in my teens! 🤦♂️😅
I think we all did. This was also during a time where the History Channel needed history to pop so dramatic renditions of actual evens was the easiest way to accomplish it.
@@Curiosity_Engaged Oh I know I'm not the only one lol. One of my favorites back then was "decisive battles", I think that's the name at least. It used rome total war to play out ancient battles! Which was perfect for a young nerd already in love with total war and history lol. Also remember being obsessed with a series they did on Atilla. Kicked off my fascination with the steppe peoples pretty young lol What do you mean by they "needed" history to pop? Was the channel failing due to lack of viewership? Even before TW rome 1 launched and the history channel started to drastically change, I was already hooked to the old black and white documentaries that used to make up most of the history channel My grandpa loved old black and white docs, and I idolized him. So I've been watching historical docs for as long as I can remember Apologies for the paragraph and tangents lol. I find myself reminiscing a lot nowadays. Probably cuz I'm old now lol
Interesting and entertaining if You are interested in these topics. The pronunciations of names and titles in these episodes made my skin crawl and diminished the viewing experience by quite a margin. I live in Japan and I would recommend better cultural research.
A channel called Linfamy tells this story a lot better and doesn't take 3 hours. plus this story isn't actually history- it's a play not a historical event ment to show how far the samuria had fallen and that they were brutes who had forgotten the way of true honor. It's suppose to also be shown along side another play that is also a ghost story. Again the channel Linfamy talks about it a lot better.
No my friend, it was a historical event that was later made into a play. Even the channel Linfamy says this in the short documentary you recommended in this comment.
"Mah-sah-moon-ay" is the correct pronunciation. They're pretty much nailing it throughout most of Honjo Masamune segment. I don't understand how anyone would find that 'disgustingly awful', or 'Absolutely pathetic'.
Hanzo deserves his own movie or his own tv show
Enjoyed all of the stories, thanks for sharing
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Ive enjoyed watching this

I hope whom ever finds it returns The Sword back to Japan.
The Sword ( Spirit) deserves going home at last ☀️
You took it into a war you lost.
It's a fictional story, made-up. It's not a real sword.
many swords under pacific.. there it is..
The point of revenge is to punish abuse of authority.

It isn't a documentary. It's an old fictional story.
I can't hear anything over how weird the narrator mispronounces "Samurai" in the first segment.
Don't they have Japanese historians to tell this iconic story....?
I'm tired of hearing how "intricate" and proper it all was. Miss me!

Now I understand why oda went the direction he went with samurai/swordsman

Ninjas were like commandos. So they were better trained than samurais.
They came from the mountains ⛰️ and the forests 🌳 Highly connected to nature ☯️ ❤
No they weren't lol. Read a history book on what they actually were.
Jin, is that you? 😂
Everyone knows you can watch the real story as a movie with Keanu reeves called 47 ronin and it’s way better than
RMS empress of Ireland
HEY ISN'T THAT JOE BIDEN AS THE AUCTIONEER AT 2:20:00 seconds
Utu .. tapu
Ñ. 😊
US has succeeded in turning the samurai into a ninja turtle.
No..being weak and losing ww2 made the japs a laughing stock.

Thanks for the suggestion! Always on the lookout for good history channels 😊

I'm here for the black samurai
I wonder if Ubisoft will feature a Korean main character in their Zulu Land Assassin's Creed game?
The greatest samurai ever... Obviously.

@@ChetManley_SuperSpyi wonder if you chuds will go write another joke some day
There never was one
the base story is"chushingura"
your using shinsengumi and ninja,please stop it.
The way they say Masamune is absolutely disgustingly awful. Absolutely pathetic.
"Mah-sah-moon-ay" is the correct pronunciation. They're pretty much nailing it throughout most of Honjo Masamune segment. I don't understand how anyone would find that 'disgustingly awful', or 'Absolutely pathetic'.
You need to reevaluate your life mate.
@louiselaliberte9816 Uh, definitely not "nailing it". Are you Asian? Guessing not. The pronunciation is not one bit accurate.
@@absolutexk7416not all Asians speak Japanese, calm down
😢😢😢😢😢
i would like to here this told by the japanese
Seppuku = suicide. Hair Kiri = disembowelment
