A well-balanced diet of self-fulfilling prophecy. Although, expounded upon again, the samurai seem to practice a less-caustic attitude directly towards 'the little people' than the prime exhibits of the opposite, those oft-referenced Bretonnians. Direct adaptation of Japanese cultural history or not, these seven principles do all seem to be prime tenets by which to live one's life in resistance to the Chaos of the Ruinous Powers; not merely in service to a human ruler. Thus far, I'm hearing that the elite samurai class of Nippon, at least, do serve only earthly body entities - other humans - and not any of their many types of deities; as worship through dutiful service. A notable difference to other human nations and factions of the Old World. The interpretation of the moral of Compassion is both suiting to ancient Japanese society and befitting of Warhammer. Care and empathy via protection through military.
More obssession with ritual and with the presentation of one's self to all others in society, in all ways and at all times. With that stubbornly final, and painful, solution of suicide never to be forgotten as an option always open to consideration, in Nippon! Yeesh, this Fantasy race could relate to the dire, despairing tendancy towards self-termination that the hivers of 40K's Nostramo equally held in high regard - or as a prioritized likelihood, anyway.
Your video's first couple of countryside/natural landscape pictures aptly lay out the setting and atmosphere. While the guy seen after 4:05 has donned an interestingly intricate (samurai) business suit. I haven't yet decided, I don't think I have enough input, if living in the classism society of Nippon would be overall less horrible or even not-horrible, in so far as it parallels with Bretonnia's society. Also, not having read or listened to any novel of Nippon. Still, I offer you my great gratitude for more of these crucial, fleshing-out facts on the Nipponese, GDN. It fulfills some more though I'm definitely looking forward to the differences in major clans, to come next. 'Til then, have an awesome and healthy day, and may the blessings of Sigmar be upon you.
Thanks, Mike!
Oh boy Mike I got to say I've studied a lot of Japanese history and some language myself I think GW could have done a lot better with this faction but you say it well about Nippon for what it is
"Mike-sa."😃👍
They didn’t let their fantasy go overboard with this one.
looks similar to Bushido in our own world. Another great episode, ty for the video 👍
I sensed a disturbance in the winds of magic. As if a million bretonian voices all cried out in anger
Take out the peasants, there's probably not that many nobles around :D
Love seeing more like this
If you ever get the chance to make a video that is about reworking their lore, try leaning more towards the idea of the land being the Wild West, with only a few bastions being a version of the classical Japanese inspiration, and everywhere else is being closer to the open wilderness of the Wild West that was also inspired by Japanese tales. It would have things like these:
- Samurai would be closer to sheriffs or bounty hunters who keep the order for their rulers and travel on their behalf.
- Ronins would be closer to the bandits or outlaws who are traveling from one place to another, either fixing problems for the peasants or causing them.
- Their priest caste would have a bit more active role than simply residing in their temples, having the desire to travel to villages and small communities like pastors.
- The clans could either be the head families who govern the sanctuaries of civilization, each with their different ideals of the Bushido due to general separation, or mafia-like families that have more criminal attitudes, but not necessarily criminal in activities.
It's gone suspiciously History Channel around here. 🤣🤣
Thanks for the vid. I'm learning about both Warhammer Fantasy and Japanese History.👍🙂

I love the warhammer fantasy mod for M&B Warbands. When they finally added the East i was so excited!
Sorry I dont comment enough. Life and a lack of time.
That's fine. As long as you enjoy the watch :)
The Amazon and Albion lore was rather more creative than the Nippon lore... It needs a bit more distance from the inspirations, I think.
Well, they have some interesting mythical units.
Maybe the creator counted that noone was informed enough on japanese culture.
Original Warhammer story reign of darkness
Part???
Surrounded by the sounds of blades clashing in the middle rings of steel. the air was heavy with the scent of polished metal and sweat as other swordsman practice their technique with precision and Skill. Lancer took
a moment to absorb the other students their movements fluent and graceful as they sparred with each other he felt a wave of determination wash over him as he gripped his own sword tightly ready to improve himself in the dojo of Haru -- Suzuki Nestle in the Nippon district of Ubersreik
the training, begins as Lancer. focus on his movements the weight of the blade in his hands felt light as a feather with his strength, he practiced his strikes in Parries the Sensei watch from the distance offering guidance and corrections to help Lancer improve his technique.
Haru then stop the Averlander who was strange ever since he came to his dojo, to learn from him the man's accents was confusing at times to understand but he admire, the man's ability to learn quick one of the many reasons he put up with his dark personality? so he straighten Lancer. stance to quick draw his sword out,. "Yes" he said in an improving tone. As the master swordsman, stood back "now don't think "it" just draw with your heart "Lancer-sa" nodded to the master, and Drew from his Sheath a quick fluid motion. with practice position, he unleashes the blade with a swift movement, the sound of metal cutting the air the sharp blade Gleams in the moonlight, that beamed inside the dojos huge side doorway. as he brought out
Lancers movements are smooth and controlled, a testament to his----Add Years of previous experience and Haru. ever demanding training in the art Nippon--swordsmanship, made Lancer even more deadly the way the Averlander nobleman held his sword, now was a lethal beauty of Nippon skills with the old ones at his disposal,"
Pleased Haru gestured Lancer sit next to him and the Averlander did sliding his sword into his Sheath smoothly kneeling next to him on both knees on the tatami mat floor that was worn with age, bearing the marks of countless hours of training and discipline Lancer placing his sword next to him, the dojo training hall walls what are Adorned with beautiful tapestries depicting scenes of legendary battles and intricate Calligraphy,
Adding to the atmosphere of reverence and Haru said
Hand slowly extending to a beautiful Nippon girl she was wearing pieces of Kimmono. in a t-shaped garment with long, white sleeves in a warp around design that is secured with a Obi Sash tied around, the waist the fabric used for the Kimonos is often made of silk, satin, or cotton, and is adored with interrogate patterns and designs the vary depending on the occasion. Natsumi Suzuki. kneeled on both her knees hands folded her hair, what's tightly pulled back in secured into a bun or Chignon at the nape, of her neck in Natsumi hair had ornaments and hairpins made out of ivory and flowers. That made her a very rare beauty in Ubersreik to look upon with her beautiful copper eyes,
"Lancer-sa this is my daughter
Natsumi I wanted you to meet!" her." The Averlander nobleman. slightly bowed his head in regal courtesy gesture, his emerald eyes staring intently into Natsumi
Copper eyes the man was very handsome her heart skipped a beat with nervousness as she ask, with a slight nod of her own and a smile that would warm a man's soul, "Lancer-sa. Would you like to accompany me tonight for a walk." Von stricket, replied with a decline in his tone. As his emerald eyes quickly glanced at Natsumi. and back to Haru. "I'm afraid I have to decline!" for I have other important business maybe another night." Haru nodded and replied with a Stern voice in his tone. "Very well it is understandable you did exceptionally, well today when may I see you again?," Lancer thought About of all Haru taught him from the way of the sword and the way of Bushido and it's many virtues of courage compassion courtesy duty honesty and honor, sincerity was vastly needed to reunite his own soul of who he once been, but in honesty he still had to be the monster what Vlad made him "no" Lancer whispers to himself he would not be Like his other cursed Brothers, he would still be honorable even if he had to be a Vlad's Dog, now standing onto his full height heading for the door as he glanced over his shoulder, his demeanor darkened with anonymous tone. "I''m afraid this is the last night you'll will see me thanks for everything good bye Haru Suzuki."
Love this series:)
Glad to hear that. I like making it :)
1st to 1st, 1st to watch, 1st to like
Number 100 to❤
Thanks.
Very interesting.
This is actually fantasy Japan since the Bushido code is greatly exaggerated in the West, just like chivalry with knights.
Angry Bretonnian noises.
