Game language in Japanese, in-game subs in Italian, while video subs translated in English, narrated by an Italian Japanese professor in Japanese & English. Is this a multi task challenge??? LOL
@@jorgeguanche5327 beeing watched by a random Spanish here, but I also speak engurisu, italiano and the little japanese I learned during my Kendo years (dont be surprised, we are in The Metatron chanel) my brain is popping like it has popcorn inside with the multitask because I'm also analising the kenjustu moves XD
@@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 from "decimation" the practice within Roman Legions as a severe form of punishment. One-tenth of the soldiers would be beaten to death by the rest, selected via a lottery of sorts. Decimated, originally, meant to have one-tenth, or 10%, killed. (Boris, your comment only showed up for me after I typed this. XD)
I mean semantics shift. That's normal. That's simply not what the word "to decimate" means anymore in a modern context. It's also a borrowed word into English for that matter. To be far even in the modern context they do have slightly different meanings. "Annihilate" implies complete destruction, nothing left. "Decimate" implies heavy destruction and loss but not necessarily to the point of console annihilation. At least that's how I perceive these words in general parlance.
@@GerdiHono Yup, there are lots of words like that. "Awful" used to mean "fills with awe". Now it's more like "fills with dread". "Decimate" just irritates me, given how often it's used and how many other words could serve. Slaughtered, destroyed, eradicated... not many words mean "killed one in ten".
WTH. So the guy speaks Italian, Japanese, English, French, Chinese. Played piano for 10 years, Is a well versed historian and military buff? Seriously the only thing missing is to bench press 250lbs. Dude, I wish I was so focused and passionate as you are. Btw, I was in Palermo last year! Very nice city!
Your linguistic skills are an inspiration brother. Just beginning my third language and chaps like yourself help keep me motivated with eyes on the prize. Thankyou.
I have long waited for this ever since the game came out. When it comes to Video Games that features Japanese culture your channel is the one I always go to first.
Everyone: I can't wait for Metatron to talk about the games style and lore compared to the real event. Metatron: sure let me just flex my japanese to show that I'm qualified to do so.
I'm a polyglot yet I really struggle to actively switch between languages in the middle of a sentence Meanwhile this madman is juggling between three of them seemlessly. That's just impressive
めっちゃかっけー。You sound so charai but your obvious wealth of knowledge just demands respect.さすがプロ！ This format is a breath of fresh air for me as an english speaker and non-formally educated Japanese speaker. I'm ashamed that I don't know as much Japanese as you do, and I'm inspired to learn more. Excellent video as always. The Bukkorosu rant had me in stitches. BTW, I think that was daikon and some slices of renkon in the beginning?
I'm 100% sure after playing ghost of tsushima, this professor needs to continue playing games that really teach us about history and cultures through natives perspectives, they're many games that taught me history more than my school ever did, i enjoyed his video ❤️❤️
iam almost at the end of act 2 and its a masterpiece... also i was taking a break and you release your video at the same time my macaroni was ready! what a timing xD
I'm truly amazed how smoothly you're switching between languages and how you translate with such an ease. You're not trained interpreter yet you're doing amazing job ; even better so because you're not cutting corners like most interpreters do for ease of translating. You don't culturally translate too much ; you show it as it is; so we can truly get the feel for Japanese culture. Which I like a lot. You don't go overboard with adapting to western sense
I knew he spoke japanese well, but i didn't know he could speak this well. I had heard Metatron speak a few japanese sentences before and hadn't necessarily been impressed. But hearing him speak now in such a swift and fluent manner definitely impressed me.
damn , i started watching your channel when you were very small, and now youre at 400k+ subs, awesome work man. nice video also, very skilled with your languages :!
If you learn the history of Japan, this is one in many wars they faced. They literally had a dog-eat-dog moment where subordinates kill their superiors one after the other.
Yes please. I enjoyed this. Any background knowledge you know of and you explain anything at all is much appreciated. Example being you said that it should have been taichi instead of the katana for the time period, etc. I also like points of interest in the wording or word choice used. A really wonderful first video!
Ahh, I'm glad you mentioned Bushido Blade! I loved playing it, and when I first saw the gameplay for Ghost of Tsushima, it immediately reminded me of that game, and that's the main reason I ended up buying it

I love this format and would definitely want a series from you, this perspective is incredibly insightful, educational and enjoyable; I hope to see more.
Mofu Mofu099 playing like a mad man because I loved the game, I do the same thing with animes, I can finish an entire series in less than 4 days if I don’t have anything else to do U^ェ^U
I enjoyed that far more than I thought I would. I was unsure what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t such a wonderfully immersive, multilingual feast, that wasn’t so much a critique, or reaction, to this beautifully crafted game, but acted as more of an accompaniment to it. More of this, as a play through series, would be most enjoyable, and satisfying experience. Great work!
Really impressed with the overview. 22:15 Ever since the first demos been somewhat confused by the size of maple leaves, the colour is right, but it seems that the designers are using European maple instead of Japanese maple in size, perhaps because of Japanese maple being much smaller in size and that would be difficult to compute in large numbers, and perhaps the smaller leaves aren't as cinematic.
This Italian man isn’t a weaboo. He’s not an anime nerd. He’s both an honorable legionary & samurai who’s born in Italy, but lived in Japan & speaks English. A language master. What am I? The son of a portuguese peasant. A modern conquistador who could only speak English & not his father’s native language. I guess it’s because I’ve spent most of my life in a place called the United States.
Fatal Code I am a duke who conquered the new world, not in the name of his own majesty, but to establish his own Kingdom in the new world. I am the King 👑 of Burgers 🍔
Funfact: In Japan the Game is as good as sold out from what I've heard. Sony is telling people that, if they can't wait for more physical copies to arrive, they please should buy Digital. Also, the game does not only have the Kurosawa mod, it's also a love letter to the Kurosawa movies, so they weren't going for Historical accuracy to begin with. Hence Katana instead of Tachi and the reverse way of carrying it. Btw. could it be that you forgot to subtitle a few of your parts? I overall did like the video, though i think i'd prefer it with you speaking english, simply for ease of viewing. And I'd say it'd be a bit less work for you as well. :D
@GiRayne Nice Rant, just a tiny little thing: It was the FANS who first called it "Kurosawa Mode". It originaly had been called... i think "Samurai Mode" and the fans called it "Kurosawa Mode". And Sucker Punch just ran with it. Also, have you even finished the game? Because it surely is not just "Look! Samurai are awesome!!!" you'll notice when you finish the second act.
@GiRayne I think you're looking way too much into this. All "Kurosawa mode" really adds is a black and white screen which, I think, is just a reference to the fact that many of his films don't have color and has nothing to do with the script and the themes which are a lot more about traditional ideals of honor and the samurai code
@GiRayne I'd say wait with your judgement until you have seen the full game. Because there is more to it than what you see in this video. The game was inspired by Kurosawa movies and was intended as a bit of a tribute to him. That it doesn't completely go with how he told his Story doesn't change it. A "Love letter" does not always have to be exactly in the same way as the person it is a Love letter to did it. And using "Violence Sparingly" in an action open world game is kinda difficult to archieve.
@GiRayneas i said: you apparenzly dontknow anything about what happens in the later parts of the game. Thanks for proving so. Wait with the judgement til you saw the end.
I truly hope you continue to play this amazing game, I love your insight and view not only on the game itself but the accuracy to history being that you know Japanese history Growing up I played a ton of Tenchu on the first PlayStation. I’m now an adult playing the hell outta this game and approached the game as if it were Tenchu when possible. Amazing game, hopefully game of the year and various other awards.
Just found your channel today, and wow! History, languages, and video games? I'm in! I like hearing you point out historical facts and inaccuracies in this game, but also being okay with changes made because it makes the game more fun or "cinematic." Also, it's super cool to hear fluent English and Japanese spoken with an Italian accent. I can't wait to see the next video because I hope it shows you finding your first Mongol artifact. I loved that they included collectible artifacts to teach players about Mongol history and culture. I hope you like that part, too.
This is the kind of content that is uniquely Metatron, so of course we love it! I enjoy watching this game, I enjoy your historical perspective as well as your appreciation for games and movies, and I also enjoy listening to Japanese, so this series is perfect for me. I am a beginner learning Japanese and so this video is a fun way to test myself in multiple directions.
This was magnificent, bravissimo! Please, do make a sequel, maybe even a whole game series. Your YT content made me start learning Italian again, and during this video I finally convinced myself to try Japanese. Thank You, thank You very much!
Well it's true in some way but also not at the same time I'm studying the language so i could understand the music but i don't want to be japanese. If it isn't obvious by the name I'm more of a british wanna be and not japanese because other than their music and novels I don't have a liking on anyother things that they have.
I bought this game on day one and it is amazingly fun! This type of video was a really entertaining way to watch someone play the game and I learned lots! This video was well done and it would be awesome to see this as a series.
Your language skill is impressive. I've been studying Japanese alone and hit a bit of a wall but I feel like now I should go and study harder. Also glad to see you seem to enjoy the game, I've been loving it. It is so gorgeous and the music is top tier.
My cats know Japanese and Italian more than l do! One of my cats is a secret ninja superhero! His other life is as a quiet kind loving kitty! When he is needed to help others then his Secret Ninja SuperHero personality comes out!
This just proves my theory: That Metatron has the abilities of the highest polyglots, that is, the ability to not only speak another language with fluency but an ability to actually THINK in their other languages as well. That's extremely rare. Edit: I guess I should make it more clear what I mean, and that is that it's hard to translate a 2nd language into a third. Even harder to do that at the same time as listening to the 2nd language being spoken. It's what the best translators in the world do. If you think it's easy, just give it shot. Try doing just half of it. Try listening to someone talk full speed while you type what they say, in your own language. I'll bet you'll find it's not super easy to be both fast and accurate.
Please don't comment on topics you haven't a clue about, it makes you seem dumb. All people who are truly fluent in a language can think in that language. If you still have to translate what you want to say in your head, you're still not truly fluent in that language yet!
No, it's not an ability of the highest polyglot, but rather of someone who invested years and years into mastering that language. You could speak 2 languages and have that same thing happen to you
@@CumBrianFries Ok. Fawk Yu, I'd like to take the time to thank you. You made me a better person, Fawk Yu. No longer will I go around commenting on things I know nothing about, Fawk Yu. It's not like I was trying to reference the ability to both listen and speak in a second or 3rd language AT THE SAME TIME. Because I'm sure all Italians, who grew up speaking Italian, and learned English and Japanese, can instantly translate their second language into their third, Fawk Yu. I will edit my original comment to reflect this, Fawk Yu. Thanks, Fawk Yu, for your guidance during this incident. Im sure your going to go on to Fawk (up) the world. But I would suggest you first, go Fawk yourself.
Metatron is legit an inspiration and motivation for me to learn more culture and language and invest my time in some sort of culture study. Love this guy
I really hope to see more of this! The way you present your personality in Japanese is so fascinating and I love hearing you explain the historical context of it all!
Joachim Murat A example I can think of is feom Breaking bad the, “I am the one who knocks!” Turns into “I am the menace.” Then changed too, “If they open the door, I will not die. They cant shoot/kill me.” That’s the only one I remember so far.
I remembered that you understood Japanese, had no idea that you were close to fluent! very impressive Metatron! I joined back when Sekiro came out and i wanted to learn more about that culture and the weapons - all that good stuff. I'm not a regular but when i mooch your channel i tend to enjoy. I'd personally enjoy seeing a whole series of this.
Damn my dream is to be fluent like that in Japanese to go there and call Brazilian friends who are fluent and switch from Portuguese to Japanese and train the guys there.
I just imagine it as a fictional 3rd invasion of the Mongols on Tsushima set in the late Sengoku period. Since a lot of the things portrayed in the game are Sengoku period. Really the only thing that's missing are samurai with matchlocks. Now that would be badass.
It's complete fiction during the 1st invasion of China. You're absolutely right that it's based on the movies and not the time period. A lot of weapons and armor about 300 years early or so for artistic reasons, I believe. I really hope he does another video or 2 as he plays through the game, too. The Mongols are awesome. Their armor and weapons aren't realistic either but the way they...conduct business... is exactly how they did under Kubilai Khan. Learning the history of the lands they are invading and giving them the option to surrender or suffer grave consequences, to name a couple. They aren't depicted as the overwhelming horde of unintelligent horde of barbarians that movies and games tend to make them out to be.
@@DJWeapon8 that would be cool but this is based on the 1st invasion in 1274. Also, the Mongol Empire was overthrown in 1368, about 100 years before the beginning of the Sengoku Period.
I’ve been excited for this ever since your reaction to the gameplay a while back. Glad you like it, and though I’m no professor, I’ve always been enticed with Japanese culture and history, as well as many other Asian countries, so this game is a dream come true.
@@El_Diego86 its not only about fluency. Im 100% fluent in the language in question, been using it more than my native language during the last 5 years. Maybe its like multi-tasking. Im also helpless doing two things at the same time.
When I told to one my Uzbek friend that his Uzbek language sounds to me like stones falling from a mountain, he answered that my native Ukrainian sounds to him like cats meows and hissing. It's all up to language.
You actually fired up my interest in learning to speak Japanese. Also, the intro to this game is insane, and the music score at the bit where the title appears and prior (the whole horse riding on the field sequence) is just hitting right in the feels, I love a good music!
Yeah, the subtitles are for the English voice script, I believe. I've noticed discrepancies here and there between the Japanese dialogue and the subtitles. Many times they are similar, but sometimes, they definitely aren't. Also, my God, it is amazing to hear you speak Japanese so fast and flawlessly. As a beginner, all I can say is: 本当にすごいですよ！ 😅
2:51 Heh, absolutely correct! Mongolian plateau. Yes, almost all the Mongolia (1.56 million sq. km, 5 times bigger than Italy and 6 times bigger than Great Britain) is a highland plateau, 1.5 km over the sea level. This adds much to the harsh climate: +40°C in summer and -40°C in winter and constant winds. I was there, and it's absolutely clear to me why Mongolian warriors were grown so tough.

It always feels good to find a mark of progress. I was actually able to understand a fair portion of the Japanese without looking at the screen.
I really like how the mongolian invasion is portrayed in this game. It was truly a brutal time for Japan.
Any wartime in Japan was been brutal for them
If you learn the history of Japan, this is one in many wars they faced. They literally had a dog-eat-dog moment where subordinates kill their superiors one after the other.

The game was inspired by Kurosawa movies and was intended as a bit of a tribute to him. That it doesn't completely go with how he told his Story doesn't change it. A "Love letter" does not always have to be exactly in the same way as the person it is a Love letter to did it.
And using "Violence Sparingly" in an action open world game is kinda difficult to archieve.
@GiRayneas i said: you apparenzly dontknow anything about what happens in the later parts of the game. Thanks for proving so. Wait with the judgement til you saw the end.
I truly hope you continue to play this amazing game, I love your insight and view not only on the game itself but the accuracy to history being that you know Japanese history
Growing up I played a ton of Tenchu on the first PlayStation. I’m now an adult playing the hell outta this game and approached the game as if it were Tenchu when possible. Amazing game, hopefully game of the year and various other awards.
Angry Italian becomes Weeb. I approve!!

Just found your channel today, and wow! History, languages, and video games? I'm in! I like hearing you point out historical facts and inaccuracies in this game, but also being okay with changes made because it makes the game more fun or "cinematic." Also, it's super cool to hear fluent English and Japanese spoken with an Italian accent. I can't wait to see the next video because I hope it shows you finding your first Mongol artifact. I loved that they included collectible artifacts to teach players about Mongol history and culture. I hope you like that part, too.
When metatron goes FULL SUPER SAIYAN WEEB:
This is the kind of content that is uniquely Metatron, so of course we love it! I enjoy watching this game, I enjoy your historical perspective as well as your appreciation for games and movies, and I also enjoy listening to Japanese, so this series is perfect for me. I am a beginner learning Japanese and so this video is a fun way to test myself in multiple directions.
92 minuti di applausi 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
your japanese is so good, its so clear that i can hear almost every word you said
i'll use video as one of my learning material
！？
日本人でも難しい言葉が多いのに…すごいです
日本語ですみません
This was magnificent, bravissimo! Please, do make a sequel, maybe even a whole game series. Your YT content made me start learning Italian again, and during this video I finally convinced myself to try Japanese. Thank You, thank You very much!
I'm not even close to this kind of speaking capacity yet and i can't write yet just speak some words most of it are insult 😵😵
Well it's true in some way but also not at the same time I'm studying the language so i could understand the music but i don't want to be japanese. If it isn't obvious by the name I'm more of a british wanna be and not japanese because other than their music and novels I don't have a liking on anyother things that they have.
I bought this game on day one and it is amazingly fun! This type of video was a really entertaining way to watch someone play the game and I learned lots! This video was well done and it would be awesome to see this as a series.
Me:*clicks on this video*
Metatron:*starts speaking Japanese*
Me: He is speaking the language of gods
Your language skill is impressive. I've been studying Japanese alone and hit a bit of a wall but I feel like now I should go and study harder. Also glad to see you seem to enjoy the game, I've been loving it. It is so gorgeous and the music is top tier.
My cats know Japanese and Italian more than l do! One of my cats is a secret ninja superhero! His other life is as a quiet kind loving kitty! When he is needed to help others then his Secret Ninja SuperHero personality comes out!
I have so much respect for this guy! Hes so fluent in japanese and as a huge samurai nerd this guy astonishes me
This just proves my theory: That Metatron has the abilities of the highest polyglots, that is, the ability to not only speak another language with fluency but an ability to actually THINK in their other languages as well. That's extremely rare.
Edit: I guess I should make it more clear what I mean, and that is that it's hard to translate a 2nd language into a third. Even harder to do that at the same time as listening to the 2nd language being spoken. It's what the best translators in the world do. If you think it's easy, just give it shot. Try doing just half of it. Try listening to someone talk full speed while you type what they say, in your own language. I'll bet you'll find it's not super easy to be both fast and accurate.
Please don't comment on topics you haven't a clue about, it makes you seem dumb. All people who are truly fluent in a language can think in that language. If you still have to translate what you want to say in your head, you're still not truly fluent in that language yet!
No, it's not an ability of the highest polyglot, but rather of someone who invested years and years into mastering that language. You could speak 2 languages and have that same thing happen to you
@@CumBrianFries Ok. Fawk Yu, I'd like to take the time to thank you. You made me a better person, Fawk Yu. No longer will I go around commenting on things I know nothing about, Fawk Yu. It's not like I was trying to reference the ability to both listen and speak in a second or 3rd language AT THE SAME TIME. Because I'm sure all Italians, who grew up speaking Italian, and learned English and Japanese, can instantly translate their second language into their third, Fawk Yu. I will edit my original comment to reflect this, Fawk Yu. Thanks, Fawk Yu, for your guidance during this incident. Im sure your going to go on to Fawk (up) the world. But I would suggest you first, go Fawk yourself.
@@MetaSynForYourSoul Thanks for repeating my name so many times clueless one, I do like the sound of it.
@@CumBrianFries Fawk yeah you do
This! This is the video playthrough I've been looking for!! Thank you so much!!
Dude your Japanese is amazing!
Thanks!
Metatron is legit an inspiration and motivation for me to learn more culture and language and invest my time in some sort of culture study.
Love this guy
Huh, your tone changes when you speak Japanese, that's interesting.
It's like we're hearing from younger Metatron, it's fun
Because he speaks with Japanese accent instead of shoehorning an Italian/Sicilian accent in.
I really hope to see more of this! The way you present your personality in Japanese is so fascinating and I love hearing you explain the historical context of it all!
日本語うますぎる 強いて言うならば激戦のまつではなく激戦のすえだと思います。
Please do more! Would love to watch you play through the whole thing
1st rule for an Italian player: *never* use the Italian subtitles.
Why tho
@@raihanadhitya378 Probably because they're incorrect but so are the english ones.
Kyrious
They go from accurate to completely off topic
@@samuraijackoff5354 Any examples? Sounds funny
Joachim Murat
A example I can think of is feom Breaking bad the, “I am the one who knocks!” Turns into “I am the menace.” Then changed too, “If they open the door, I will not die. They cant shoot/kill me.”
That’s the only one I remember so far.
I remembered that you understood Japanese, had no idea that you were close to fluent!
very impressive Metatron!
I joined back when Sekiro came out and i wanted to learn more about that culture and the weapons - all that good stuff.
I'm not a regular but when i mooch your channel i tend to enjoy.
I'd personally enjoy seeing a whole series of this.
Damn my dream is to be fluent like that in Japanese to go there and call Brazilian friends who are fluent and switch from Portuguese to Japanese and train the guys there.
This man keeps on impressing me. I love this channel
I'd love to see a historical evaluation of the game by you, although the game is kinda inspired by Kurosawa movies and not actual history
I just imagine it as a fictional 3rd invasion of the Mongols on Tsushima set in the late Sengoku period. Since a lot of the things portrayed in the game are Sengoku period.
Really the only thing that's missing are samurai with matchlocks.
Now that would be badass.
It's complete fiction during the 1st invasion of China. You're absolutely right that it's based on the movies and not the time period. A lot of weapons and armor about 300 years early or so for artistic reasons, I believe.
I really hope he does another video or 2 as he plays through the game, too. The Mongols are awesome. Their armor and weapons aren't realistic either but the way they...conduct business... is exactly how they did under Kubilai Khan. Learning the history of the lands they are invading and giving them the option to surrender or suffer grave consequences, to name a couple. They aren't depicted as the overwhelming horde of unintelligent horde of barbarians that movies and games tend to make them out to be.
@@DJWeapon8 that would be cool but this is based on the 1st invasion in 1274. Also, the Mongol Empire was overthrown in 1368, about 100 years before the beginning of the Sengoku Period.
@@anubrakahn2970 Good point. I'm not as educated about the Mongols so I didn't know that they were no longer unified in the 14th century.
@@DJWeapon8 A 3rd invasion is still a really cool idea though and your theory was a good guess knowing that the story is fictional.
以前からイタリアにすごい教授がいらっしゃるんだな、と存じ上げておりましたが日本語の動画ははじめて拝見しました。
もののふっ言葉に感激するあたりさすがプロですね。
I don't think I've ever seen you do a review on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Any thoughts on it?
I’ve been excited for this ever since your reaction to the gameplay a while back. Glad you like it, and though I’m no professor, I’ve always been enticed with Japanese culture and history, as well as many other Asian countries, so this game is a dream come true.
Jesus, I speak 3 languages, and it takes me ages to translate from one language to another, and you're just doing it on the spot as they are talking.
Same here man, my brain will never reach such "flexibility"
If you are fluent enough it’s actually easy in my Case it’s Spanish, I find it easy to translate on the spot.
@@El_Diego86 its not only about fluency. Im 100% fluent in the language in question, been using it more than my native language during the last 5 years. Maybe its like multi-tasking. Im also helpless doing two things at the same time.
Happy to see the Bretonnian collection growing in the background!
Why do people sound so different when they speak Japanese
Edit: Thanks for the Answers!
pitch accent is build into each word. there is also different forms of politeness that pushes the speaker to enunciate accordingly.
They become possessed by a japanese spirit
hahaha funny but true...
When I told to one my Uzbek friend that his Uzbek language sounds to me like stones falling from a mountain, he answered that my native Ukrainian sounds to him like cats meows and hissing. It's all up to language.
@Maçã Verde avatar checks out
Dude please upload more of this, so interesting to watch. Great video ! Please keep em coming
Pity there's no PC version. As much as I'd love to play this, I'm not buying a console for it.
You actually fired up my interest in learning to speak Japanese. Also, the intro to this game is insane, and the music score at the bit where the title appears and prior (the whole horse riding on the field sequence) is just hitting right in the feels, I love a good music!
Nice flexing and all but it's hard to have to read two subtitles at the same time, as we're spoken a language we don't know. It's a workout for sure
Yeah, the subtitles are for the English voice script, I believe. I've noticed discrepancies here and there between the Japanese dialogue and the subtitles. Many times they are similar, but sometimes, they definitely aren't.
Also, my God, it is amazing to hear you speak Japanese so fast and flawlessly. As a beginner, all I can say is: 本当にすごいですよ！ 😅
Should change your title to "Mr. Worldwide Plays Ghost of Tsushima"
2:51 Heh, absolutely correct! Mongolian plateau. Yes, almost all the Mongolia (1.56 million sq. km, 5 times bigger than Italy and 6 times bigger than Great Britain) is a highland plateau, 1.5 km over the sea level. This adds much to the harsh climate: +40°C in summer and -40°C in winter and constant winds. I was there, and it's absolutely clear to me why Mongolian warriors were grown so tough.
