Shuriken, which literally means “hand-hidden blade,” was one of the hidden weapons that the samurai used as a supplement to other weapons, such as bows and arrows and swords.

LOVE IT! Yet don't want it to come to live in Halloween, lol. Plus what firearms are Mike's favorites?
@@pyeitme508 H prefers close combat cold weapons to firearms
@@Simplehistory what about VTAC Tomahawks? Such as the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk axe. Does that count?
Speaking of knives, I think the ballistic knife would make him super happy!
@@pyeitme508 yep :)
@@Simplehistory for which answer? The VTAC Tomahawk and/or ballistic knife?
This guy can talk about a rock and make it interesting
the rock was not only an effective primitive tool it also made a decent weapon
Rocks are interesting.
True 🤣

Underrated comment
Did you know the 'Ninja throwing stars' were not really used by Ninjas?
Really?! Thought Samurai didn't use them during that time?
Simple History that’s cool
Its used by weebs
Simple Histoy who? The samurai?
Pretty sure ninjas did use them at least a little, just like with bows and gunpowder..
Though yeah, Samurai using shuriken is really rarely known
History Channel: Ninjas were oppressed farmers who fought Samurai
History RUclipsrs: Actually Ninjas were Samurai who specialized in covert ops
Which is true?
@@SportsFan824 both seems to click nicely, probably "better" ninjas are the samurais who do covert ops and the "less better" ninjas are farmers spying, public assassinating and secret messengers.
I mean nothing is purely impossible and the probability is still there.
I don't know, I think the youtubers, History Channel was always more entertainment than history with their Ancient Aliens and Pawn Stars.
Ninjas were mercenaries who specialized in espionage and other black ops. Some were loyal to a certain house, while others were freelancers.
@Ninjiango From what I have seen on various documentaries.Both are true.

Butters almost lost an eye from one of those.
Sniper rifle: **Can shoot up to a mile**
Ninja with a shuriken: _Mission failed we’ll get em next time_
No man a "sniper" rifle like a awp can fucking kill u from 2000 meters away aka 1 and a half go 2 miles
first yeah,i don't know the limit of range in modern rifles,they can go to miles,but i don't know if they can reach to 9000 yards.
@@maximilianolimamoreira5002 maybe not conventional rifles maybe an anti tank rifle aka 20-25 mm rifles but 5 miles is a distance I'd just call an artillery strike or air strike at that point.
@@grindkagethefirst5975 i personally haven't heard of an awp making that distance but a Barret I've heard of making that distance. Actually funny enough some guy used an m2 browning as a sniper and killed someone at 2,280 meters.
Edit: I did just now see I believe to be a variant of an awp making past 2000 but I'm not that familiar with awps.
@@alienmorality theoretically if used for targeting humans. And I'm just using the more fire power the better range logic. I'm no ballistics expert. And I'm fairly certain that an AT rifle is pretty self-explanatory that it doesn't need to be explained.

Is Dio considered a ninja since he can teleport around?

I met a ninja and asked if he could throw those pointy stars that ninjas have.

Best. Comment. Here 😂😂😂👍👍👍👏👏👏
0:26 me putting a shuriken in my head at 2:00 am to knock myself out to sleep
I always thought that only Ninjas were the ones that used throwing stars. You learn something new every day.
I'm glad to see someone classify them correctly as primarily being samurai backup weapons instead of the classic stealthy badass "ninja stars" most people refer to them as today. This is why I'm subscribed.
can we just take a moment to recognize how much energy and time that daniel puts into these videos? i mean most of us watch this for entertainment (not to mention how easy it is to pass in history classes) and just give back to daniel for all he has done for us?
- Can you take him out?
- Shuriken!
- Good job!
I never knew that the Samurai were the original users of the shurikan. Thank you simpli history for teaching me something new.
I love that kunais evolved from trowels. Gardening weapons are very underrated
Except with Naruto fans, they're tossing around the gardening spade type of kunai like they were only for that
*TF2 Soldier screech*
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola At least soldier acknowledges that he's slamdunking on people from the air with a shovel
They were spades and used mostly as masonry spades
Common missconception: Ninjas only used shuriken when absolute necessary. normally they didnt carry any of them cause they make noise while moving. and if used they where not thrown but put between fingers so they can punch enemies and hurt them with blades. And Kunai where not knifes, they where universal tools for climbing and digging.
Sticking a shuriken in the ground effectively makes it a caltrop or as the Japanese call them "makibishi" not to be confused with the car company.

0:24 Definitely getting vibes from South Park when Kenny hit Butters in the eye with that weapon.
Lol I brought 2 of these at a car boot sale once, use to throw them at the fence alll day long such fun !
0:28 Justin Y is that you?
Can I throw a ninja star?
*Shur-I-Ken*
*points to the door*
Get out
lol
We used to make those at home when we were kids, and practice throwing them. We were careful with them, never regarded them as “toys”, we knew better than that. But then one stupid kid two towns over from us got injured from a wheel shuriken, so all martial arts weapons were banned less than a year later in my [former] state.
Did his friends try to dress him up like a dog and take him to a veterinarian so that they all wouldn’t be grounded?
Princess Marlena nope, not to my knowledge 😉
You should do battle of Sekigahara. Most sources in the US show smaller numbers than sources in Japan where it was fought. That would be a good challenge and it’s a cool battle.
1:01 Japanese Legos
"Each school had its own shuriken. A school can be identified based on the shape and sizes of their Shuriken." ~ Some Naruto stuff right here 🤩
Loved seeing the outtakes from a South Park episode.
I knew samurai used throwing stars more than ninja but I didn't know coating them with poison was a real thing. Makes me wonder how many samurai poisoned themselves while using the weapon.
Samurai: in the middle of a cool battle
Shuriken: im about to end this man whole carreer
That Throwing Shuriken animation
Was So smooth
Fun Fact: These are banned in some Countries such as Australia, some parts of Europe and some US States. However, Saw Blades make a good improvization.
4:41 yeah.....no thanks.
I don't want a "Chucky" in my house.
Fascinating that the samurai used shurikens. Deadly little weapons.
In fact, lethality of this weapon is blown so our of proportion, it is outright banned in several countries
True. You gotta be pretty close or throw seriously hard, to manage to penetrate clothes and skin to a deadly effect
1) it seems they have been a common toy, just like darts in Britain.
2) in combat they were meant to maim not kill. Imagine throwing them against an unarmored archer, while you're in full armor and then close the distance and cut them down.. . For ninja they would make some sense in combat, if it's off the battlefield (because no armor)
Wouldn't the samurai see something like this as dishonorable?
Thats a myth,if yur curious u can checkout metatron's channel,he can explain this better than me.
Who would win in a fight? A trained samurai with years of training or one spikey yeet star?
The most embarrassing death by shurikens: *Death by Geisha*

Lord Shimura: We face our enemies in the open, with honor!
I remembered when my friends and I used to make these in school with paper,good times
People: Ninja Shurikens
Real_history.exe has stopped working
Reminder:
In Shogun 2, in some Ninja failed missions there's this one samurai who literally throw a shuriken to kill the Ninja.
0:26 , *he do be vibing tho*
Gaijin Goobbah would have a fit if he saw this video. Sure shuriken were also used by Samurai, but they were more of a diversionary tool than deadly weapon.

The human body is trash
“Shuriken which means 'Hand Hidden Blade' was used as a supplement to other weapons, such as swords and bow and arrows. They were small and were concealed in their clothes or obis It was one of the most powerful and deadly of the throwing weapons it could reach up to an enemy far away as well as be used to stab and slash in close combat Although, Shurikens are often associated with Ninjas and their throwing stars or ninja stars, users of the Shuriken were not limited to ninjas. It was used by Samurai and Ishigaru. Infact the connection with this weapon to ninjas is more than a modern myth, with only a few families using the weapon.
There was also a variety of shapes, and not limited to just stars. Early forms of the Shuriken were small blades that the Samurai threw in order to injure or distrakt the opponent while escaping.
There was a variety of weapons known in self-defense, before the early ‘Modern’ period, that were too bulky to carry and use repeatedly. The new Shuriken in the form of a handheld weapon as they are known as today did not emerge into a much more later period. It was during edo period that the different shapes and sizes that were more portable and easier to hold developed. One major variety was the Bo-Shuriken which was a stick Shuriken made of iron or steel. More pointed on one end, while more were pointed on both ends. It was commonly used by throwing it at the opponent. When targeting exposed body parts there were several ways to throw a Bo-Shuriken.
Such as Ishizuka the direct hit method. And Akari the turn and hit method. Varying in length and weight there were different types of Bo-Shurikens named after materials they were constructed from.
One was the harigata made from needles or whole punctures that were used to stitch clothing, leather or armor. The larger the Bo-Shuriken, the greater the damage sealed to the enemy. The disadvantage of the larger Bo-Shuriken was that they were more noticeable.
It was the stick-shuriken that was more commonly used in the past more than throwing stars or ninja starts which fall in the second major variety of shurikens. The hira-shuriken or flat shuriken was a thin or flat star of a thick shaped shuriken made of metal with sharp edges.
Hira-shurikens were also known as ‘Shaken’ or ‘Wheel’ cause of how it spun like a wheel when thrown. The more sharpened points it had, the more effective in damaging the opponent. Like the larger Bo-Shuriken however, the downside was the blades with more points were less concealable. Similar to Bo, they were made from various materials, such as coins, spoons and objects used for construction or building.
The hole commonly found at the center of the weapon enabled the user to carry them on a string. It also had a aerodynamic effect while throwing the blades, in addition to using it as a handheld weapon, it could also be used to injure someone by slamming it into the ground. enabling it as a trap.
Or cause fuse by directly lighting it"
This is as far as it goes before limit. There's more though
I have 3 shurikens shaped as Batman logo. I thought it was Batarang but they don't come back to me when thrown. The tips are sharp blades. So I call them Bat shurikens.
Enemy : "hits you"
Me : *throws plastic shuriken on to an enemy arm make a paper cut*

So this is what Ryu is always screaming when throwing fireballs
CA state law specifically outlaws shuriken but not throwing knives. Damn Ninja Movies.
You have to be pretty close,to throw these hard enough to penetrate skin. The further to throw the less power they have when they reach the target.
