Japan always seems weird to me not only because of this but the way they do crimes. I mean either they don't do crimes but when they do even demons will feel shy.
That’s so true. Japanese always preach about manners, respect, and decorum but they have always been the culprits of the most heinous crimes committed in history. It’s like their obsession with politeness and manners today is to counteract how messed up they actually are
Worth noting that Japanese soldiers were never in any real danger of starvation on Chichijima island. They cut their rations, but they had more than enough food to survive the war on. The cannibalism by Japanese soldiers was entirely option there, not driven by starvation.

My grandma lived in the Philippines when these soldiers were eating people. They would sound an alarm if they saw Japanese soldiers coming and her and her sisters would hide in open graves in the graveyards or in caves on the mountains so they wouldn’t be taken as they were pretty defenseless being only 9 or 10
The fact that Japan aren't called out on an international level for censoring the crimes of their ancestors is unacceptable. They can't just pretend it didn't happen, and trying to hide the truth makes it seem like they don't actually condemn the crimes their nation committed in the past.

Here's something to think about. Aztecs were cannibals too. And when they were conquered by Spain, the Aztecs adored pork when the Spaniards introduced pigs to the New World. When asked what human flesh taste like, an old Aztec answered that humans taste like pork!

She was never shot and she made it out. That is the only thing she would tell me about this experience.

I come from Philippines and the great grandparents told me that the first Japanese to invade in 1941-1942 were generally well behaved. But from 1943 onwards as soldiers who fought in China arrived they were animals and killed indiscriminately. I think most of the barbaric behavior Japanese soldiers displayed were because of their experiences from mainland China. Which at the time was extremely undeveloped and over populated. Making the war there medieval.
it was due to the purity mindset. anyone who was not japanese especially other asians, were not "pure". they were deemed contaminated and like "animals" so they treated other humans like animals.
I can vouch for this. I come from Sabah Malaysia. My grandfather told us that Japanese Soldier wont be rough with u and still be civilized and mannerful as long as u follow their orders. But it all changed when the Japanese deploy the Chinese Soldiers to be stationed across the country. They commited all kinds of atrocity. Even after the Japanese retreat the chinese soldier remain in our country and joined the Malayan Communist party and continued to wreck havoc across the country.
This is true. I'm also from the Philippines and my great great grand father always tell stories about the Japanese invaders during world war 2. He said that the first invaders are really honorable and have respect on everyone. But when 1943 came in most of the Japanese Soldiers that was sent are brutal and disgraceful. Sadly my great grandfather passed away 10 years ago but his stories are still with us and the horrors of world war 2.
The problem is that people weren't educated from ww2 mistakes. There have been Japanese comic books from time to time talked about cannibalism, they are either horror stories or fantasy thrillers. Usually are villains that committed cannibalism but with a twisted ideology.
Before she died. My grandmother would tell me stories of how they fled to the mountains of the Philippines when the Japanese occupied us. The scary part was that her uncles would do the same things(cannibalism/totur) to the japanese they caught. War and hate makes people do some monstrous things, guy. Stay safe out there.
Australia: You see their morals, their code, its a bad joke: Dropped at the the first sign of trouble. I'll show you, when the chips are down, these......These Civilized People?? They'll eat each other!!
Imperial Japanese ate Chinese/Korean human flesh during their WW2 Conquest to build bonding. Those victims were not just POW, there were civilians, including children and women.
My grandmother's told the same thing to me when she was alive, lots of Japanese soldier ate the civilians, Spanish/American soldiers and other filipinos, some filipino female tribes nearby my hometown fight the Japanese and ate their flesh as well, war is seriously evil
@@qwerasdf1782 and what do u mean? U know if u don't believe in us it is totally fine, plus I used to live in the province of the Philippines where old people at age of 94 to 100 is Abit common where they share the same experiences they have from the Japanese soldiers during world war 2.
Filipino here. My grandma used to tell us stories about japanese. These are all true. But there is an urban legend about "aswang" or cannibals with insatiable hunger for human flesh. Those japanese were converted into aswangs by simply eating the food of aswangs offered to them. My grandma said that one of their neighbor way back who is also an aswang used to fight japanese. One of unmentioned anti japanese faction.
@@simplylethul Americans always talk about their war crimes, what are you on about? Vietnam war vets are literally spat upon the moment they come home, being called baby killers. Besides any warcrimes commited by the us is nothing compared to what japan did.
I remember hearing this story from Mr Ballen's channel. It's great to see the story animated. And the twist of the surviving pilot being future President George H. W. Bush
My grandma said they hid under their houses in like a make-shift basement while the Japanese were invading. It was scary bc they were mostly women and unarmed. This is horrific and talking to someone who experienced the war first-hand felt more grim

Well yeah who wanted to fight 100 million Japanese civilians? Plus they had kamikazes attacking every US ship that got close to the islands, so they couldn't land a big army without that major risk.
Odd considering its probably one of the most primal and human things. Maybe not eating eachother specifically(until last resort) but killing things for food I mean.
I feel like eating another human is never a good option. I feel there knowledge and the companionship is way more important than filling a belly. You can put your heads together and think of a way to get food. There’s always a way to get good just got to think of how to get it.
Without a doubt, Every Single Theater in the Second World War created hundreds if not thousands of Horrors stories that could fill Volumes upon volumes of books with horror stories. The most horrifying fact that will hang over you is at end when you find out that all that Brutalities and just the Inhumanness really happened. To give an idea of the horror real people faced. There a case in the Pacific theater were a bomber crew had bailed out and all of them except one were captured and then had Vivisection performed on them. The 'Lucky one' escaped by using the last round in his pistol on himself. Things like this should never happen again.
I am from Papua New Guinea and i was told of the Japanese cannibalism by my father who was a Japanese war carrier between 1942 to 1945 and who witnessed the beheading of American and Australian flyers and Indian soldiers and thereafter had the body cooked with Japanese spices.
You forgot to mention that the Japanese ate each other as well. This happened after the food supply and the POWs were consumed. There are recorded instances of the lowest ranking soldiers, privates, being selected and then butchered. Worst part is that their deaths were marked as Died in Action.
According to my mother her great grandfather and her great grandfather's son were eaten by Japanese soldiers when the war was soon to end where japanese soldiers were hiding on the mountain and running out of their food. They captured my great-great Grandfather and his son, they have never been found. It happened here in the Philippines.
At that time, it was a common game among American soldiers to decapitate the corpses of Japanese soldiers, boil them, and bring back the skulls. It is a clear war crime to play with the corpses of enemy soldiers as toys. If this can be justified, all atrocities can be justified.
Meanwhile, the Japanese garison cut off at Rabaul ate better than most of the Japanese military elsewhere. Not from prisoners, but due to the fact that a lot of the personel had been gardners or fishermen in peacetime.
There was one Japanese officer (I don't recall his name), who had dined upon "long pig" (from the highlands of New Guinea, to the Amazon rain forest, to the Congo basin, THAT is what we're called), who became Prime Minister of Japan in the 1960s.
In desperate times, people will do anything for food, but when it's actively forced upon subordinates, that's when it gets to be just a barbarically gruesome, macarbre act...
After Japan surrendered, after investigation by the U.S. military, there was no shortage of food on their island, and their cannibalism was purely perverted
Just noticed that the Japanese have an M1 Garand and the Americans have what looks to be a Gewehr 41. Australians also showed extreme brutality towards Japanese soldiers in New Guinea with even the slightest suspicions that they committed cannibalism
George H Bush Senior was born in 1924 so George W Bush wasn't born yet during World War 2 Secondly George W Bush was Air National Guard and never Fought in any War. He was old enough to fight in Vietnam but his family is rich and rich kids hardly ever get sent to war and if they did they'd get a cushy Mickey Mouse Assignment. I think you might be talking about either McCain or Kerry who were POWs
I read a gruesome account of German soldiers resorting to cannibalism after surrendering after Stalingrad. Even, specifically, putting the tracea(?) on a stick and cooking it over a fire.
I'm pretty sure it's because of Japan being isolated from the rest of the world for so long. I believe up until only the 1800s they kept people out and all their affairs were internal.
It wouldn't justify it in a life or death situation people really shock themselves. They never knew what they were capable of until staring into the eyes of oblivion.

The Catholic Church gave that Uruguayan Rugby team a pass. But they never killed anyone- only cannibalised the already-dead. They first started on the pilot that crashed it.
Neither do we in the United States. No country has a history to be proud of... human nature is pretty consistent. All nations have accounts of cannibalism (Donner party and others for the US), slavery in some form, abuse, unequal rights and freedoms... We can rise above it all though as a species.
@@syedtariq5003 I don't. The nukings of Japan affected the civilians more than the people who ACTUALLY comitted these horrible crimes.

I come from Philippines and the great grandparents told me that the first Japanese to invade in 1941-1942 were generally well behaved. But from 1943 onwards as soldiers who fought in China arrived they were animals and killed indiscriminately.
I think most of the barbaric behavior Japanese soldiers displayed were because of their experiences from mainland China. Which at the time was extremely undeveloped and over populated. Making the war there medieval.
it was due to the purity mindset. anyone who was not japanese especially other asians, were not "pure". they were deemed contaminated and like "animals" so they treated other humans like animals.
I can vouch for this. I come from Sabah Malaysia. My grandfather told us that Japanese Soldier wont be rough with u and still be civilized and mannerful as long as u follow their orders. But it all changed when the Japanese deploy the Chinese Soldiers to be stationed across the country. They commited all kinds of atrocity. Even after the Japanese retreat the chinese soldier remain in our country and joined the Malayan Communist party and continued to wreck havoc across the country.
This is true. I'm also from the Philippines and my great great grand father always tell stories about the Japanese invaders during world war 2. He said that the first invaders are really honorable and have respect on everyone. But when 1943 came in most of the Japanese Soldiers that was sent are brutal and disgraceful. Sadly my great grandfather passed away 10 years ago but his stories are still with us and the horrors of world war 2.
@@politecat32 Japan sent Chinese soldiers to invade Malaya?? Never heard of it.
@@蒼氓 not only chinese but korean too. They probably used Chinese pow or the soldier of Collaborationist Chinese Army.
The problem is that people weren't educated from ww2 mistakes.
There have been Japanese comic books from time to time talked about cannibalism, they are either horror stories or fantasy thrillers. Usually are villains that committed cannibalism but with a twisted ideology.
Before she died. My grandmother would tell me stories of how they fled to the mountains of the Philippines when the Japanese occupied us.
The scary part was that her uncles would do the same things(cannibalism/totur) to the japanese they caught.

Filipino here. My grandma used to tell us stories about japanese. These are all true. But there is an urban legend about "aswang" or cannibals with insatiable hunger for human flesh. Those japanese were converted into aswangs by simply eating the food of aswangs offered to them. My grandma said that one of their neighbor way back who is also an aswang used to fight japanese. One of unmentioned anti japanese faction.

I remember hearing this story from Mr Ballen's channel. It's great to see the story animated. And the twist of the surviving pilot being future President George H. W. Bush
Dang. What a shame they didn't eat him as well.
Mr. Ballen ❤️❤️
My grandma said they hid under their houses in like a make-shift basement while the Japanese were invading. It was scary bc they were mostly women and unarmed. This is horrific and talking to someone who experienced the war first-hand felt more grim
The Nazis were terrible, but every time I read or watch WW2 stories about the Japanese it’s some of the most horrific atrocities I ever heard of.
Look up Unit 731 on Wikipedia it'll make your blood curdle
IMO to be eaten by another human being is perhaps the worst fate that can befall you. And one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Why? You can control your fate and intentionally die faster. Forced to live 50 years in a lightless box would be 50 years worse.
No being Paralyzed from the neck down deaf and blind is the worst fate that can befall you. From the movie "Johnny Gets His Gun" which is also the premise in Metallica's "One" Video also one I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.
Have you heard about the vivisections....

Wise words to live by
They had also conducted those horrific science experiments without any anaesthetics or morphine... that's even gruesome
And the worst part.....They got away with it...due to the support of the U.S and they didn't got in judiciary like the Nazis did
Like America was doing on black women and young girls?
And where did they do that exactly?
why hasn't anyone replied to the first comment, hm?
A bit sus innit?
This is probably at least part of why Japan isn't allowed a standing military anymore I assume
Actually they chose that for themselves surprisingly. It wasn't imposed on them as there was a sizable number of American higher ups who wanted to keep an armed Japan as a counterbalance to Communist expansion in Asia.

I just love how unaliving someone for their meat is infinitely worse than doing so for greed, anger or fun
Odd considering its probably one of the most primal and human things. Maybe not eating eachother specifically(until last resort) but killing things for food I mean.
Did you just really used the word "unaliving" unironically?
I love how you are not in society
I feel like eating another human is never a good option. I feel there knowledge and the companionship is way more important than filling a belly. You can put your heads together and think of a way to get food. There’s always a way to get good just got to think of how to get it.
Without a doubt, Every Single Theater in the Second World War created hundreds if not thousands of Horrors stories that could fill Volumes upon volumes of books with horror stories. The most horrifying fact that will hang over you is at end when you find out that all that Brutalities and just the Inhumanness really happened.
To give an idea of the horror real people faced.
There a case in the Pacific theater were a bomber crew had bailed out and all of them except one were captured and then had Vivisection performed on them. The 'Lucky one' escaped by using the last round in his pistol on himself.
Things like this should never happen again.
I am from Papua New Guinea and i was told of the Japanese cannibalism by my father who was a Japanese war carrier between 1942 to 1945 and who witnessed the beheading of American and Australian flyers and Indian soldiers and thereafter had the body cooked with Japanese spices.
Fun fact, the picture at 5:35 is of Bush 41 being rescued by the USS Finback on 9,2,44.
Grim I’ve read about before but your video tells it better.
You forgot to mention that the Japanese ate each other as well. This happened after the food supply and the POWs were consumed. There are recorded instances of the lowest ranking soldiers, privates, being selected and then butchered. Worst part is that their deaths were marked as Died in Action.
According to my mother her great grandfather and her great grandfather's son were eaten by Japanese soldiers when the war was soon to end where japanese soldiers were hiding on the mountain and running out of their food. They captured my great-great Grandfather and his son, they have never been found. It happened here in the Philippines.
At that time, it was a common game among American soldiers to decapitate the corpses of Japanese soldiers, boil them, and bring back the skulls. It is a clear war crime to play with the corpses of enemy soldiers as toys. If this can be justified, all atrocities can be justified.
Meanwhile, the Japanese garison cut off at Rabaul ate better than most of the Japanese military elsewhere. Not from prisoners, but due to the fact that a lot of the personel had been gardners or fishermen in peacetime.
I like this channel and I love how he tells stories in real time back in the day
There was one Japanese officer (I don't recall his name), who had dined upon "long pig" (from the highlands of New Guinea, to the Amazon rain forest, to the Congo basin, THAT is what we're called), who became Prime Minister of Japan in the 1960s.

I’ve missed this voice. I love your voice. I love it!
In desperate times, people will do anything for food, but when it's actively forced upon subordinates, that's when it gets to be just a barbarically gruesome, macarbre act...
After Japan surrendered, after investigation by the U.S. military, there was no shortage of food on their island, and their cannibalism was purely perverted
Just noticed that the Japanese have an M1 Garand and the Americans have what looks to be a Gewehr 41. Australians also showed extreme brutality towards Japanese soldiers in New Guinea with even the slightest suspicions that they committed cannibalism
Do you blame them?
Nah. Japan more brutal. Because they torture civillian.
The Australian army were just a bunch of convicts so the cannibalism is probably true.
Again with the first reply I agree do you blame them? L japan atomic bombs 100% deserved maybe we should have done it like 5 more times

George H Bush Senior was born in 1924 so George W Bush wasn't born yet during World War 2
Secondly George W Bush was Air National Guard and never Fought in any War. He was old enough to fight in Vietnam but his family is rich and rich kids hardly ever get sent to war and if they did they'd get a cushy Mickey Mouse Assignment.

@@skylarmccloud4080 It was H.W. Bush who served in WW2 and almost got cannibalized.
I read a gruesome account of German soldiers resorting to cannibalism after surrendering after Stalingrad. Even, specifically, putting the tracea(?) on a stick and cooking it over a fire.
4:20: Incredible, that they STILL had such primitive beliefs, in the 1940s!
I'm pretty sure it's because of Japan being isolated from the rest of the world for so long. I believe up until only the 1800s they kept people out and all their affairs were internal.
Try working an office job over there.
They should make this a movie
Even if I was dying of starvation that wouldn't automatically justify butchering and eating another person. Sick
It wouldn't justify it in a life or death situation people really shock themselves. They never knew what they were capable of until staring into the eyes of oblivion.
@@skylarmccloud4080 that's ridiculous they're just weak a cannibal is a weak link if I die of starvation I'll do it with grace. Jesus fasted 40 days you know
The Catholic Church gave that Uruguayan Rugby team a pass. But they never killed anyone- only cannibalised the already-dead. They first started on the pilot that crashed it.
You guys have made so many good knowledgeable videos, where a lot of channels can only dream about!
Japan really has a history not to be proud of.
Neither do we in the United States. No country has a history to be proud of... human nature is pretty consistent. All nations have accounts of cannibalism (Donner party and others for the US), slavery in some form, abuse, unequal rights and freedoms... We can rise above it all though as a species.
