It made me sad when Rome 2 took out the cinematics, it made the game feel more alive somehow, watching the tense clips, praying that your assassin isn't discovered or killed. The memories....
The problem with Rome 2 is all the different cultures, you would need videos for Roman, Greeks, Africans, Iberians, Easterners, Barbarians and Scythians. It's easier with Japan because you can use the same videos for every faction.
The most annoying thing in Shogun 2: Watching these scenes all the way through, and being like "All right! That stupid character that's been giving me hell for months is finally dead!" And then you close the video and the game's just like "Wounded." Apparently my ninja planted that knife in his nose rather than his head.
Unlike in most forms of media, it is not always easy to kill a person in real life. Even a blow to the head isn't guaranteed to kill a target. The survival rate of gunshot wounds to the head is about 30% in the short term, and about 8% in the long term. Of course, bullets do far more damage to your brain than blades, as they cavitate the tissue and can bounce around in the skull, so the survival rate of stab wounds to the head is probably even higher.
It's a reference to a story where Uesugi Kenshin himself sneaked into Takeda Shingen's abode to assassinate him only for the Daimyo to fend off his attacks with a War Fan
@Mister Guy Um your comment is wrong it's beyond funny. 1. The Samurai did not believe in sneaking around and trying to kill their foe like that, they believed in fighting upfront like a man, to go against this was against EVERYTHING samurai stood for. So no a SAMURAI would NEVER act like some assassin. That would be shameful and cowardly and they would sooner kill themselves. 2. Historical speaking Ninja's where peasants etc lower class who rebelled against the upper class so they relied on dirty tricks and sneaking around at night because they could never match the Samurai sword to sword. Etc a Ninja would lose to a Samurai who spent years and years and years learning the way of the sword
+WindBlownLoincloth "Some say the great general is writing a fiction about two men embracing each other passionately, every damn night" AND thus yaoi is born! AND also the reason why they are being hunted....
Been playing recently. I had this ninja who literally failed every single mission and some how buddy kept surviving. In the end I sent him back to the Mizu Shobai district to live out his last remaining years in peace. 😎
These cinematics are very soothing and entertaining at the same time! Quiet, summer cricket background music, quiet stealth, and more creates the perfect calming down factor! I recommend this to anyone frustrated or tense who wants to blow off steam!
I'm no expert, yet here's my favourite and why: The one poisoning water by use of a nigh invisible smooth thread. If trained well, the Ninja can: 1) Remain hidden whilst killing the target 2) Target has a high chance of not noticing it, whether there be a bodyguard near or not. 3) No noise except from target's last breath 4) If investigated, chances are highest that they mistake it for a natural death, as there is no blood marks or signs of a fight. 5) Ninja can stay hidden even if a bodyguard saw the death of the one he was supposed to protect. So in short, I like that version best because it is way more secretive, just as effective as a sharp blade, no need for killing guards along the way (you can climb in the tree, this takes no killing of guards I assume xD ), and the confusion is the highest! It is not certain whether he was assassinated until after much uncertain examinations - and in war, a delayed army can prove disastrous! As Napoleon once stated; "battles are won and lost in the matter of an hour".
Human peripheral vision is remarkably shit at seeing anything not moving or changing especially in the dark. Of course if anything moves in the periphery we’re on it In a flash as our ancestors that failed that spot check got eaten.
The actual ninjas would wear whatever they needed to complete their mission- they could be dressed as a guard or a servant to get close to their target. The ninja outfit as we know it comes from Japanese theater where the stagehands would wear it to blend into the dark background, making it easier for the audience to ignore them since they're not supposed to be part of the show. Then, when one of them would suddenly kill a character it was meant to be shocking to the audience
@@TheChairmaker It is also importsnt to note that "Ninjas" were not assasinsn for the most part they were spies and infiltrators, they did kill sometimes, but that was a secondary role
@@maxmuller8633It makes far more sense to continue using the term ninja as it was the one chosen at the start of the conversation, instead of using the "proper name" out of nowhere, confusing people who may have not been following the conversation, or lack the knowledge of what the proper name is.
WOW. That last one especially, thank you for these! I hope u continue to capture the rest of the agents as well as the game releases. These are awsome!
0:55 he just leaves the knife in the blade? No wonder it costs the same as recruiting 300 samurai to have a guy I already pay to kill one guy, those must be really nice blades!
Sidar Erdem well they were not a world changing things but the Crusades and 1 and Italian renaissance in 2 and Golden Age of Piracy in 4 was still major events.
Your Ninja can kill someone for good, and it depends on the individual ninja's own skills and your clan's bonus + chi arts development. I had a highly skilled one that was extremely deadly that I sent ahead of my armies to kill important generals / daimyo. He got good enough that his strategic map model and 3d portrait showed him with a badass horned oni (demon) mask.
these are easily my favorite part of the game. they're either incredibly impressive or downright funny with how he fails sometimes, and many generally go the same way so its a surprise for if its successful or not. its great.
Armchair General I been saying this for years. 16th century ninja assassins creed. I think they will because it will be the ultimate AC game if you asked me.
If they choose to be realistic it would be a very boring game though, sit in the shadows and spy on conversations or try to guess the number of troops in a certain camp or fortress, shinobi nearly never assassinated someone.
Lapiz Bouchaut lol I'm sure they would focus on the exciting part of the era and jobs. I'm sure pirates and indians didn't go on many covert missions alone either. :)
4:47 Ninja: Oh, wow, I can't believe that worked. Guard: Yea, I'm just totally going to pretend I didn't see that guy. I don't get paid enough to risk my damn life!
3:44 wouldn't it've been hilarious if when the ninja accidentally tripped on that guard and the guard said(in Japanese language with subtitles)"leave me alone, mom, I don't wanna go to school"
Christian Flores ah, yes, Shogun means emperor, doesn't it? right, sorry 'bout that, I thought Shogun meant a historical name for Japan like Latium for Itally or Germania for Germany. Anyways don't YOU think it might've been any funnier?
Luke Dearey If you really want to get down to it, Shogun means general or military commander, office given by emperor, but they had more power than emperor.
@@Niffie To be fair it wasn't very clear. Japanese are palatalized and not to mention they tend to add different variety of voice and dialects so yeah. Ever heard of a Scottish person speaking English?
Speaking as a Japanese, the decorations that appear in this game are historically wrong. For example, the word “shogun” is written in kanji on the lantern in the movie. However, historically, family crest were drawn on the flags and lanterns. Kanji are rarely drawn on them.
I think they decided to use kanji instead of family crest because these cinematics were pre-rendered and they considered unnecessary to make several versions of the same cinematic where only some textures change but you're right
They should have one more thing to this. I notice that the ninjas sometimes detected after the assassination, so they should have additional parts if the ninja fails to escape after the assassination. That would be kinda more realistic, since the assassination is a success, but if your ninja fails to escape, you lose a ninja.
As a matter of fact, Ninja rarely needed any weapon, instead they used devices to escape from the their enemies if they were found out, such as, smoke bombs, cards, flash bombs, caltrops and many other instruments to slow down, disorientate or even incapacitate their pursuers. But if they did have a weapon it would be Shuriken as I've mentioned before. In relation to what colour they wore, it is quite a long story I could tell you but I'll try and break it down in another comment. (No more room)
Whatever have an assassin in training wash up in japan and resume training with ninja, ajust hustory as necessary so the ninja are a branch of proto-assasins, whatever! I think we can be sure that humanity wasn't created as a slave species to an alien race of greek gods and that Hashshashin didn't survive well into the 21st century having consisted almost exclusively of africans at one point and possessing xray vision and bulletproof flesh. I don't give a shit about historical accuracy in relation to assassins creed and its assassins as they no longer have any basis in history at this point.
Betrix5068 They survived for a pretty long time, and there is a big group of people who call themselves Hashshashin, despite being not being the original. And, actually, Eagle Vision isn't X-Ray, and it isn't in real life at all how it is games.
First of all, I believe Ninja would often wear just regular attire, but obviously nothing too eye-catching so they would not rouse suspicion. Secondly Ninja weren't really from a particular clan, but mostly they had their own clans, isolated in the mountains, each member would be trained and have knowledge passed down to them from a very early age, it was almost as students of other Japanese arts like Bushido or Chi would isolate themselves to perfect the art. Their art was named Ninjutsu.
For those, who are pissed at "Wounding the guy instead of killing him", its because in history, lower man killing a nobleman in Japan was really dishonorable, that even assassins would be ashamed
I just started watching your videos and they look so good give you a feeling of what people used to do back then so I like those little like a little history kind of type thank you
My first prized ninja: Momodi. I was being pushed back by the Takeda Shogunate, my forces were barely half of Takeda's, but Momodi evened the odds. He successfully assassinated the General, the Damiyo, and his heir all in three turns. Made up from the initial years of constant blundering XD
I would love a game about doing these kind of assassinations. Complete stealth game, unlike most ninja games where you kill everything in your way Ninja Gaiden style. Splinter Cell with ninjas instead. Would be awesome.
+AdventureThroughLife Shinobido was a great ninja game in the ps2, there were times where you really needed stealth because either there were too many guards, they had an arm canon or they had a fuckin' bear loose in the compound.. XD
Interesting cinematic that isn't shown here, I was playing Shogun 2 yesterday and it turns out that the poison in the drink won't always work, if your Assassin's target sniffs the drink, the samurai will throw it and freak out (I think). But I think you ninja escapes unnoticed. And with the fail compilation, it fails to show the escape scene after waking up the Samurai company. Its rare, but after your ninja drops caltrops, one to three samurai will fall down due to the caltdrops, but one samurai will stop and throw a knife into your ninja.
The one in which the samurai grabs his leg dreaming he's grasping his wife will never not be funny to me. The way the ninja looks at him like "fuck, are yoy serious?" And then immediately falls on top of another guy without waking him up. This has got to be both the luckest and unluckiest assassin ever.
I love it how the one guard decides to check ONE side of the wall, then casually walks off... it's especially funny since his ninja skills make the guards look retarded... I swear the ninja would need an extra year of training just so he wouldn't laugh at the guards' stupidity.
@Chubbypunch Thank you! I googled that and found that it is called a "gunbai" - it is a special Japanese war fan used for communication. Here's a short description for anyone interested: The gunbai is a solid metal war fan used by samurai officers to communicate commands to their troops. The gunbai-uchiwa version was typically rounded in shape and stiff with a prolonged grip, and could also be used as weapon using the handle to strike and the stiff fan to block with.
Thank you for replying to my comment, first of all. Secondly, it's good to see another person (and Fallout fan) interested in this era of history and you and I are clearly not the "average person" that takes everything at face value such as Ninja being "super warriors" as they are portrayed in Film and many computer games. I am definitely not an expert in this subject but a little research can go a long way.
When the ninja slit the general’s throat from the tree, I was like, “how tf did you guys not see that?! You let your master die on your watch! This means death for you”🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
If I were to sneak in enemy camp, I will dress up like a enemy soldier, or maybe a servant. Who the heck dress up like a ninja when doing assassination?
+Jordan Wu this cutscenes are more comidecal focus than historical focus. for example, ninjas did dress like civilian or like samurais to infiltrate (they do that specialy to infiltrate into enemies towns, etc to get information (like spies)) another example historical wrong thing in these cutscenes are that ninjas didn`t carry their swords in the back, they carry in their waist(just like the samurais).
Travel light, kill as efficiently as possible, and always make certain to leave no trace of you behind. Those are the three primary rules of being a ninja.
How to be paranoid: Never have your back to the wall. Stay in a room with preferably no windows, or windows with curtains drawn. Have someone in the room, a trusted guard, facing you. Leave the door open and your guards standing there. Never stay under a tree. Mind your head. Stay far from windows.
Thank you so much for this, I got so bored of seeing the same one over and over (it was always the "stab in the bed" one, except for once or twice where I got the "stab through the wall" one) in the hopes of getting some more interesting ones. This way, I can just skip them all, and watch them here.

But the Hashshashin were never in Japan, though. They lived in the Middle East, and after the Mongols pushed them out they flocked to Europe.
Who gives a shit those games have never been historically accurate

The main story might not have been, but everything revolving around that has been.
Whatever have an assassin in training wash up in japan and resume training with ninja, ajust hustory as necessary so the ninja are a branch of proto-assasins, whatever! I think we can be sure that humanity wasn't created as a slave species to an alien race of greek gods and that Hashshashin didn't survive well into the 21st century having consisted almost exclusively of africans at one point and possessing xray vision and bulletproof flesh.

For those, who are pissed at "Wounding the guy instead of killing him", its because in history, lower man killing a nobleman in Japan was really dishonorable, that even assassins would be ashamed
I just started watching your videos and they look so good give you a feeling of what people used to do back then so I like those little like a little history kind of type thank you
My first prized ninja: Momodi. I was being pushed back by the Takeda Shogunate, my forces were barely half of Takeda's, but Momodi evened the odds. He successfully assassinated the General, the Damiyo, and his heir all in three turns. Made up from the initial years of constant blundering XD
nice c:
Sadly i reloaded because i made a peace treaty with takeda after that and got owned by their 2nd army T-T

It's funny how whether your ninja is successful or not, in the scene with the sleeping enemies that one guy will always hug your ninja's leg.
I would love a game about doing these kind of assassinations. Complete stealth game, unlike most ninja games where you kill everything in your way Ninja Gaiden style. Splinter Cell with ninjas instead. Would be awesome.
+AdventureThroughLife Shinobido was a great ninja game in the ps2, there were times where you really needed stealth because either there were too many guards, they had an arm canon or they had a fuckin' bear loose in the compound.. XD
+AdventureThroughLife tenchu series or tenchu z. Stealth is key
these cutscenes are the reason, why i love shogun 2 so much
Interesting cinematic that isn't shown here, I was playing Shogun 2 yesterday and it turns out that the poison in the drink won't always work, if your Assassin's target sniffs the drink, the samurai will throw it and freak out (I think). But I think you ninja escapes unnoticed. And with the fail compilation, it fails to show the escape scene after waking up the Samurai company. Its rare, but after your ninja drops caltrops, one to three samurai will fall down due to the caltdrops, but one samurai will stop and throw a knife into your ninja.
I love the aesthetic of the CG in this game
3:16 THIS IS SPARTA!
Darh Sam The way the Shinobi killed him was like the scene from 300
@@ezio1579 Except the fact that it is from behind
This is japan
The one in which the samurai grabs his leg dreaming he's grasping his wife will never not be funny to me. The way the ninja looks at him like "fuck, are yoy serious?" And then immediately falls on top of another guy without waking him up. This has got to be both the luckest and unluckiest assassin ever.
Not his wife, its a geisha.
Meaning he misses having sex and company with a woman or fell in love with one and misses her
I love it how the one guard decides to check ONE side of the wall, then casually walks off... it's especially funny since his ninja skills make the guards look retarded... I swear the ninja would need an extra year of training just so he wouldn't laugh at the guards' stupidity.
actually there were many ninja fails too
thx for uploading both scenes :D
@Chubbypunch Thank you! I googled that and found that it is called a "gunbai" - it is a special Japanese war fan used for communication. Here's a short description for anyone interested:
The gunbai is a solid metal war fan used by samurai officers to communicate commands to their troops. The gunbai-uchiwa version was typically rounded in shape and stiff with a prolonged grip, and could also be used as weapon using the handle to strike and the stiff fan to block with.
Thank you for replying to my comment, first of all.
Secondly, it's good to see another person (and Fallout fan) interested in this era of history and you and I are clearly not the "average person" that takes everything at face value such as Ninja being "super warriors" as they are portrayed in Film and many computer games.
I am definitely not an expert in this subject but a little research can go a long way.
I remember in the first shogun, when a geisha assassinated a monk by strangling him with his Rosary.
When the ninja slit the general’s throat from the tree, I was like, “how tf did you guys not see that?! You let your master die on your watch! This means death for you”🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
3:41 Those are some serious heavy sleepers.
You forget that they're soldiers, and that they've likely been marching/training all day.
@@Supperdude9 true, but then you also have to remember that soldiers are, or should be, alert in case something like that were to happen.
2:30 NEVER DRINK IN THE OPEN!
That last one was too amazing to be true haha.
3:39 lol
2:35 That one's pretty clever not gonna lie. I never even thought of that
If I were to sneak in enemy camp, I will dress up like a enemy soldier, or maybe a servant. Who the heck dress up like a ninja when doing assassination?
Jordan Wu Ninja's its for the stealth the whole premise is not getting seen and do it as efficiently as possible
Jordan Wu Infiltration isn't always a possibility. Sometimes you gotta don the ninja suit and do things the hard way.
+Jordan Wu this cutscenes are more comidecal focus than historical focus. for example, ninjas did dress like civilian or like samurais to infiltrate (they do that specialy to infiltrate into enemies towns, etc to get information (like spies))
another example historical wrong thing in these cutscenes are that ninjas didn`t carry their swords in the back, they carry in their waist(just like the samurais).
+ricardo griva They changed things up with each mission, plus i've read many had their own preferred way to kill.
Mostly during Night missions where they’ll have to go atop roofs do Ninjas dress as ninjas. In day they disguise themselves as people or guards.
Travel light, kill as efficiently as possible, and always make certain to leave no trace of you behind.
Those are the three primary rules of being a ninja.
5:06
The earliest form of flashbang
How to be paranoid:
Never have your back to the wall.
Stay in a room with preferably no windows, or windows with curtains drawn.
Have someone in the room, a trusted guard, facing you.
Leave the door open and your guards standing there.
Never stay under a tree. Mind your head.
Stay far from windows.
shit like this was needed for rome 2
im glad they brought back the assassination videos they are actually pretty funny
Who does have this video in recomended after watching The Shadow & The Blade DLC trailer?
Ninja rat - - > ninja
I do
Watching this after having watched the "Ninja fail" compilation is like,
"So this is how Otacon remembers it happening."
4:58
That's some Matrix shit there
The one at the end goes to the shinobi, the daimyo suffered temporary blindness from the grenade flash and his eyesight didn't recover soon enough.
3:18 falcon kick always works
Where does my daimyo keep his blade-blocking fan when a ninja comes after him? In the laundry basket? 🙄
4:24 HOW DID THEY NOT SEE HIM?!?!?!!?!?
the real question is, how did the guy with the lamp did not see him when he wasn't even trying to hide?
That is litteraly me in skyrim, in a nutshell
Probably they were dumb as heck
They also never saw the ninja's blade
@@infernox246 It is a game, no one expect realism
when he hangs from tree to kill the lord he climbs back up to wait for the two generals to say "musta been the wind"

INSERT J-POP IDOL HERE.
Greninja Hayate Sakura izone
...little did you know, he was only wounded and he'll be back in only a few turns.
3:30 made me laugh so hard
Now this is definitely an accurate ninja, one that actually does true assassination, stays quiet and doesnt fight head on unless necassary
Makes sense aswell since its a samurai job, meaning this guy has battle expertise
Man,he's a ninja.No one can see a ninja,but a ninja can see you.
Thank you so much for this, I got so bored of seeing the same one over and over (it was always the "stab in the bed" one, except for once or twice where I got the "stab through the wall" one) in the hopes of getting some more interesting ones.
This way, I can just skip them all, and watch them here.
03:38 Well, that was awkward.
Lord Shimuria: Fight like honorable Samurai!!
3 years later
Japan: Ghost...ghost everywhere
I hear Taiko drums every time i see this, like in Warframe.
The last one is definitely worth watching.
