- My name is Michael! I teach geography, history, religion, social science and physical education. Way too many subjects if you ask me... I don't claim to be an expert in any of these subjects.
Although I am pretty awesome at PE!

Take care!
Take a group of people, tell them they have a special place in Society, tell them they are favored by the Gods, give them weapons and license to use them, place these people above most Laws, then turn them loose as they run errands for their Masters.
What is the worst that could happen?
Muhahahaha. I love this comment. 😁👍🏻
A rebellion at the turn of the centry, sword vs a gun.
To be fair in the gruesome department, Sweden did have the Blood Eagle
No, it was actually a thing in norway and denmark, but not in the rest of scandinavia
I think the tradition of presenting yourself and requesting an honourable challenge at the beginning of the battle was a tradition from the times when Japan had nothing to fear about other nations, and samurai only fought other samurai with the same ethics. But this practice became obsolete after the two failed Mongol invasions, because the Mongols would just shoot or immediatly kill those who advanced to demand a fair duel. So samurai adopted a more practical way to do war.
I dont know how true this statement but thats what I read.
The mongol invasion revealed a simple problem of numbers. Because of that the ranks of Japanese fighting forces - which were always private but subject to the orders of the emperor (or shogun) - had to be expanded, and that meant creating foot soldiers armed with weapons other than swords. Samurai were originally horse borne warriors whose primary weapon was the bow, fired from the saddle.
The biggest fact about Samurai Warfare is that the Katana was RARELY used in the battlefield. Its not like in the movies where the sword just slices through anything like it has some kind of mystical powers. Swords have a hard time with armor, and that's ANY sword, be it Asian, European, Middle Eastern, or in any of the Americas. There's a reason why the Europeans favored thicker swords, if they were to use them, axes/hatchets, and polearms. With thicker swords, the impact may be enough to put someone on the ground long enough to get an accurate stab through one of the weaknesses of the armor, like the throat area, the holes in the eyes, or to get a dagger through the armpit. Axes/hatchets are really just sharp blunt weapons. Turn the axe head around and suddenly you have a mace that could rattle someone's head inside the helmet. Polearms eventually became THE weapon of choice. Several models were made across the world, but the fact that spears and other polearms could have heads modified for better penetration made them one of the largest used weapons ever, and because typically only the penetrating head spike and possible axe-like blades were made fully of metal, they were cheap.
The Japanese understood this too. Which is why polearms were used more in battle, and the Katana was more of a ceremonial piece, higher quality Katanas signified a powerful lord, like a Shogun, whereas lower quality ones could be simply tacked off as your foot soldiers. Japan having a very, VERY hard time with iron, since it's an island nation that used to have a VERY isolationist focused government and people, have a long history in experimenting with spear (Yari) and polearm (Usually a variant of Naginata) designs because they didn't require a lot of iron to be used in the build. Katanas in Japan were more used in times of general peace, as Samurai during times of peace acted more like police officers in a sense, or bodyguards to their lord. The average renegade, assassin, or other type of rebel wouldn't typically be wearing full body armor like the Samurai or higher ranking people would, either out of being too poor to afford it, or to blend in with the commoners, so the Katana would be just as lethal as a spear in that sense. Also, Katana were almost NEVER used indoors or in tight spaces. The Tanto or Wakizashi were used in that place, depending on the Samurai's prestige or knowledge of combat with one of them. If Katana were so mystical that it could cut right through any armor, the Samurai or other warlords just wouldn't bother with the extra weight on their person. The armor existed for a reason.
Yeah. I think I read of a few duels of samurai that used katanas but in a normal battle you are 100% correct. Throughout history spears were the most common weapon of choice. Cheap, easy to make and easy to train. Except for the Roman's. They just had to be special and use the gladius lol.
@@Spartan265 In those times, metal armor was still very expensive. Most of the time, soldiers were either in a kind of linen or flax gambeson, or couldn't afford body armor at all, so swords (like the Gladius) were still very, VERY effective in close combat as the only ones wearing heavy metal breastplates and such were high ranking warriors. Plus, short swords like the Gladius, didn't really need that much metal, they were only some 40-50cm, roughly 1kg and most of that is in the handle. Ancient humans to probably a little after the Dark Ages into the early Medieval made up for those weaknesses with shields, since a piece of wood and some tanned hide was cheap and could be cut in ways to cover all of the weaknesses on the wielder's body that their armor didn't cover, or to accommodate to the army's various offensive tactics (see Roman Testudo Formation, Greek Phalanx, and Viking Shield Walls). Romans commonly used Pilums, which are heavy penetrating spears/javelins, and Lancea which are kinda like shorter Pilum. Most of those spears were thrown, likely to try to pick off enemy cavalry or break formations. Romans also utilized artillery in battle, which were used to pretty brutal effect.
@@point-five-oh6249 Yup. I just didn't feel like explaining all that lol. But you are also 100% correct.
Congrats on the 20k!
(Sidenote: 9:59 sounds like you might be a fellow member of the hyperphantasia club i.e. having super realistic mental imagery. It can be a blessing... and a curse 😅)
I believe the head thing came from China. The number of heads was used to ask for merit for the battle. I remember that often times the Chinese would go and kill a whole random village nearby in order to increase the number of heads they got in the battle, not just a single head. They also liked to stack the heads into a pyramid to deter other people.
Sometimes? He gets most of his stuff wrong. You should watch the video Metatron made in reply to this video and see just how much bullshit that Simon guy puts in his videos
Actually Simon is just the presenter. Still doesn't excuse the script writers and researchers getting stuff wrong though. Just thought I'd point that out. Not exactly Simon's fault he was given false info.
@@Spartan265 man’s got like 13 channels to run, gotta give him some slack; not the scriptures though they should’ve done better
He's a very nice script reader. He doesn't put this stuff together.
I mean, this is just warfare.
Samurai also have free license to kill regular civilian based on " being offended", which can range anywhere from looking them in the eye or happen to pass gas when they walk by.
So, yeah, the more you know.
God I love History . I know this is a horrible truth behind the Samurai. But to me being a History-Nerd this is "important Truth " . I remember when I studied History (Cultures & Faith ) the teacher started talking about the Samurai , and a lot of people in my class back then said " ohw they where amazing so honorable " and it was at that point that I looked up and started to laugh very sarcastically. The teacher asked me why I laughed and I told him about a Documentary that I have seen on TV. And all the people in my class said " those are just stories " on where my teacher answered " Actually Annemiek is Speaking The Truth , I wanted to show that Documentary " . History is an amazing subject . Really my favorite subject is very wide because I love " Warriors " & "Leaders ". Anyway to make a long story short... I love your videos .
Samurai ritual suicide is called seppuku.
The folded hair atop a samurai’s head is called a top knot.
Yo please check out the video by Metatron where he debunked most claims here. Its not historically accurate.
Link?
Good channel
Antony Cummins has a RUclips Channel (Samurai and Ninja history) - so you can take a look and make up your own mind on him - as for other interesting 'head cults', feel free to look up the Celts and Maori.
Yes, the Celts also took heads.
7:35 That face looks awfully suspicious.
I find your lack of faith "disturbing."
Is your browser or youtube set to german? Because there was "Kapitel" on your screen and it's german for "Chapter/s"
At 7:39 is that a fucking Darth Vader mask on a Samurai????
ACTUALLY... yes!
They did indeed design Vader's helmet based on some traditional Samurai helmet designs. This has been a pretty well known thing but it's been a very very long time since any of the interviews talking about it.
@@Avrysatos i knew that there was Inspiration from Samurais but that Mask Looks 1:1 and i have never found a Mask Like this on a Samurai. Are we Sure that Picture is real?
Hey Michael, maybe we can tempt you into watching our eccentric, fun video - Hack Slash Rebirth. Hope you enjoy it, cheers!
I think the biggest thing they forgot was that not all Samurai were men. Look into Onna-musha for some more information. Or even what a Naginata is and how brutal a weapon it can be, since teaching samurai women naginata was not even remotely unheard of. Someone had to do the protection detail when they were out "head collecting." (it's not as gruesome a practice when you think of it as ID to make sure you killed the right person and getting that wrong was very much not okay.)
My comment is incredibly broad but the last paper I wrote about this stuff was around 15 years ago and i don't feel like grabbing the books out of storage and writing a novel for a youtube comment. I hope some of the search results for these terms can lead anyone curious to more information.
@Simple Viking Yes, you should buy this book.
You should react to the Kings and Generals video about Yasuke the African Samurai
Bellicose: "Bellicose means eager for war. Bellicose is from Latin bellum "war." A near synonym is belligerent, from the same Latin noun."
fairly? The only fair fight is one you don't lose.
Bellicose sounds like it comes from the latin word 'bellum' meaning battle or war. So bellicose language seems to be the military way of talking. Tactical retreat instead if fleeing for example.
Obviously don't ask the teacher.
Preaty sure you are already the coolest teacher in school
This wasn't a overall true history, becuse he picked different era which had different "honour* era of Samurai!! Samurai was a Lord/Warrior not the commen soldier and so on 🙏
Is seems like, though not many Samurai were maniacs, the non-maniacs had to do the same maniacal things. So, which is the bigger maniac -- the one that doesn't know he's one, or the conflicted one that knows better and yet follows through with the mayhem anyway? ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!
Check out the Metatron instead for more accurate information
If you want to know more about Samurai, ruclips.net/user/TheShogunate might be worth a look.
Well samurai is only focus on Honor
i really like that dudes videos
people are gonna complain about everything so like ...
Not the dude but his script writers/research team. If they post as an educational ytuber then they should do their best to be accurate or state when they’re simplifying
På tal om Japansk historia, ett litet tips =)
