Hiroo Onoda - The Last Japanese WWII Soldier To Surrender, in 1974!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Hirō Onoda (March 19, 1922 - January 16, 2014) was an Imperial Japanese Army intelligence officer who fought in World War II and was a Japanese holdout who did not surrender in 1945. After Onoda spent 29 years holding out in the Philippines, his former commander traveled from Japan to personally issue orders relieving him from duty in 1974. He held the rank of second lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army.

Man that's honor, you got to respect this soldier, only surrendered after his general flew to him to relieve him off his duties.
I mean did he surrender? His CO gave him the order to surrender his weapons. He followed those orders as a soldier so what I keep thinking is by a ground troop like him that wouldn't be looked at as surrender but more of what you mentioned being relieved of his duties? This kind of still puzzles me
@@watersoflife1013 I think he surrendered after he was given the order.
But he didn't surrender like because he was beaten by the enemy. Probably the distinction was very important for him.
@@deadby15 a surrender is a surrender, Japan lost, even if that was over 20 years before
"A direct order from my superior officer" - man! talk about discipline and respect for the chain of command.
in this case luckily the officer still alive.
No, talk about how to waste 29 years of your life.
@@Z3t487 to the imperial Japanese army, their life is not important. It belongs to the emperor.
@@nicholaseng3480 Well, that's just out of my comprehension as an ignorant civil western man. For me it's just insane he kept following a 29 years old military order with ofc no further updates.
@@Z3t487 this shows how deep the culture of strictness of following order of their superiors had been implanted to their hearts and minds. Many find it hard to believe as Japanese are a well mannered and polite race acted so brutally in the WW2. Their mission was to conquer the whole world. All in the name of the emperor. Initially they looked like on the right track. But we all knew what happened after that.
He didn't lived the "rest of his life in Japan". He moved to Brazil from 1974 to 1984 and married there and then he came back to Japan.
Nope. That was a bullshit video.
Pero nag serbisyo sya sa Japan ng mahabang taon.
Also he raised Animals there
@@diegoaristotlebenian8295 uhh english please
Khen Flavier i know his language he said "But he still serviced in Japan for many years"
He better have gotten paid overtime for that.
He did get paid for 30 years of service though
@@leothelion2001 As far as I know he refused to take that money or something like that
The Japanese government offered him a enormous sum of money in back pay but he refused it
@@leothelion2001
It was _offered_ by Japan. He refused it. Even when donations were later collected for him, he donated every cent. Honor dictated that he not be paid for service not needed, even if it had been served. He had a code of _honor_ that rarely exists anywhere in the world today. I detest war... he was also, technically, my "enemy", as I had several family members (6) who served with the US forces in WWII, three of them did not come home.
Lt. Onoda Hiroo's beliefs were far from my own, or those of my lineage. Yet, I cannot dismiss his commitment to what _he_ fully believed in, or the sacrifices that he experienced for those beliefs.. I would have not have expected less from anyone with _his_ familial history to do anything less than he did. Respect. Another "ancient concept" quickly vanishing from the world of today. ~Peace!
@@leothelion2001 he got paid more than a 10 billion
"Hey mom, there's a guy who just walked off with our cow. I think he's a Japanese soldier from WW2."

@@reverend1637 hahaha
A true soldier, a hero, so honest to his beloved country
Japanese soldiers were NOT heroes. They were some of the cruelest bastards in that war and deserved to be looked at the same as the Nazis.
Rarely seen I'm ant Country now adays
His last intelligence report: sir, we are winning the war, the enemies have stopped fighting...
Salute.Words fail me.A true Samurai.
That spirit of respect and discipline..A genuine soldier..A fighter
I salute he's fighting soul. But I am Filipino whom my country that he attacks but its OK past is past

So what do you want us to do? Hold a grudge until the end of ourlives? , we do not forget about the history, we forgive and most especially, learn from it, pray and hope to not happen it again. Srsly? Judging the whole country bec of the opinions of one person? Dramatic
Spreading hate culture and holding grudge to others doesn't make us patriotic and good citizen, sometimes we just have to forhive not because they deserve it, but because we deserve a peace of mind
Wamport are you a japanese?
@@lorenzoantonalvaradosilva575 nope

Low morale
You end up in our islands you won't get lonely. This so called hero of Japan and Traitor of Philippines doesn't want to leave the jungle. I'm sure he had fun there than go home and face the shame and fate of his country.
Im just imagining that when he returned to japan, he was thinking whats with the anime and stuff. And what happend to the Japanese flag
Yes the red circle/ sun had been moved slightly to the right.
Führer des Benutzers Anime may not have been called Anime when it began but as a kid in the 1960’s I watched a lot of Japanese Anime style cartoons. Speed Racer & Gigantor are the two I remember.
Maybe the other guy is referring to the Japanese war flag.

In one side he's a great soldier, in another side he's cold-hearted murderer that killed unarmed civilian. I'm amaze of the dedication he has, but I'm also disappointed with his denial personality.

They should have sent that Marine, Guy Gabaldon, to talk to Hirō. He talked a total of 1500 Japanese soldiers into surrendering. He actually saved their lives and the prisoners provided valuable intelligence information. Gabaldon was able to do this even though the Japanese were under strict orders to never surrender and few of them did.
3 years old, don't care. That would be the battle of the unstoppable force and the immovable object.
A direct order from my commanding officer
.. salute to this man
True Soldier defined
He is a true murdering scumbag.
I'm a Filipino and our teacher mention him during our class in geography. I'm amazed.
japanese soldier done many things bad in our country during WW2 but the courage of this soldier not to surretruely truly0
one of its kind...salute to this truly the last samurai....
Amazing example of warrior ethos. He was on the wrong side of things but his commitment to Emperor and country is no less amazing. It took a lot of intelligence, toughness and courage to continue on like he and his two fellow soldiers did.
"Loyal 'til the end"
just like The Boss (Metal Gear Solid 3) did 😔😔
a true patriot
Loyalty is part of a man's honour n pride
Also big gamer my self but got to get into those mgs games
This man is a real fearless soldier
What a hero. true patriot
badsport2008 I agree.
True Samurai.
He did kill 30 innocent people though
True patriot my ass! Hope he will rot in hell! He stole food and He killed innocent people! Fuck him!
badsport2008 killing civilians n farmer,right?
An intelligence officer who didn't know the war was over...🤔
Think about that.🙃
Ravage Gonza I know. That's some creepy shit!
Well, he and his squad were stuck on a island. And the papers that the army sent to show they surrendered were thought to be lies from the allies. They also had to live off of the fruits grown from the island and they raided the small villages. I think he killed about 30 villagers. But he was pardoned by the Philippines government.
Ravage Gonza true but he cashed in like a Regular Japanese Businessman in the End
BUT ADMIT IT U GOTTA ADMIRE ANIME
i suppose honour is a word that you don't understand nor your parents thought you about it.
Onoda - 10,000 days in the jungle is an excellent film. Even though its over 3 hours long it never gets boring.
He must had been shocked when he return that his country became better and prosperous when they lose the war.
He was sad from the change of its people Lost was the samurai code and replaced with factories and Western culture values It would be like going to see a elvis concert and Marliyn manson is on stage
freakyflow Anime instead of Bushidō...
he must be suprised to see japan transform into weeaboo land
Not shocked but rather he was actually unhappy with modern japan
@1234 samurai code of honour
For real men not for those half man half woman folk
A true soldier. Thanks for sharing
Tough as nails no doubt.
Satan Himself The Fanatic little Fuck was a rock solid soldier, you gotta give him that.
Actually a hard core pussy with the brain of a peanut.
@@g2knows752 Bro you really gotta stop fucking keyboard warrioring people who has a different opinion than you. I see you everywhere in every comment in this video. This was in the past get over it. Btw way you're the peanut head here not him. You wouldn't even survive an hour if you were on his shoes. His loyalty was unmatchable thats why many people loved him. Even tho he killed 30 civilians thats the thing that makes it controversial. But this was over get over it. Get a life. And get some friends
@@spicyAB13 this is also I respect alot of these old Japanese people that legendary code of honour n loyalty
It hits me deep
@@spicyAB13 yes as a filipino myself he was a hero..
I do not know where is the line drawn between blind loyalty and true patriotism...
I would definitely love to be a part of that survival training course
A real warrior a real hero a real man and very great solider Hiro Onoda proved that surrender word or defeat word is not in his dictionary...........A born solider who just spent 29 years in Jungles of Phillipines just not trusting his own army commander that war is over and please come back and he said no sir i will fight alone........What a great Japanese he was.......and then at last he surrendered......and his this pureness in his soul and body for his country shows that what a real solider can be and can go beyond limits when any test in war time can be given.......Salute to your you sir.......you died sir but we can just always give you an honor and respect as your whole youth and life of 29 years you spend in jungles for not surrendering ........God blessed you always sir and will bless you always....
You forgot to mention his time in Brazil.
The real patriot, respect 👍
Fought war for almost 30 years , only to return to Japanese Weebs addicted to Anime
Which war exactly? The one ended 29 years before? Ah, right.
Huh? How tf can a Japanese person be a weeb? Lol Weeb is the shortened form of weeaboo which means a non-Japanese person who's obsessed with Japan and thinks Japanese culture is superior than any other culture including their own.
Great Soldier.. keep his dedication n loyalty
From what i read he left Japan and set up his training facility in Brazil where he was also a farmer. He was disappointed in the Japan he returned to as they did not have the same values as he was used to.
Commandable soldier spirit. It's a great honour to know about Hiro Onodo.
Gutless coward and murderer.
My greatest respect for a Soldier and Warrior indeed!
Best soldier story i ever heard. He is really awesome !❤️❤️❤️
Salute 👍👮
From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
It's hard to understand for someone who's never been in combat ,i was in Vietnam and for 2 weeks we were on our own and end up surviving on anything we could get our hands on ,but we knew we wete not going to give up ever ever
He was too good to be an intelligence officer. He fought a war that ended 2 decades before.
Imagine being in 1972 during the cold war and you see a WW2 japanese soldier stealing food
Hi at 0:38 Lubang island is actually a little to the northwest of the red oval, the island encircled here is Mindoro and not Lubang although Lubang is within the administration of Mindoro province today
Somebody needs better math skills. Born in 1922, died in 2014. That's not 94 years, but 92. Still, it was good that he lived another 40 years after his surrender.
Preach what you teach! He was 91 when he died.
How old were the many innocents that he murdered?
some ranging between teenagers and adults
Bill C He should have spent the last 40 years of his life rotting in jail and being tortured.
I do admire this man...he had heart.
Scott Rodrig he would kill u mercilessly if u wear in that jungle with him homie
Idiot! How did he have a heart?
He barged in the house to steal food and killed people when they refuse? He will Rot in hell
Scott Rodrig me tio
Idiot. He killed 23 of our civilians!
G2 Knows correct...agree
If I recall, he was also given a full pardon.
Lahing mandirigma din talaga to. Rest in paradise sir.
Rest in hell . Tatlumpung inosenteng tao pinatay nyan
i love reading comments about things like this. pure comedy
That was one tough guy. I have his book too.
Rabot Be honest. Was the book a good read? Or, was it garbage?
David Lamotta As if this vid wasn’t interesting enough 💀
@@davidlamotta1994 Sorry David for this late reply! The book was very interesting, I liked it. Amazing that Onoda kept his rifle working in the jungle.
a man with honor..a few good men.
Men like him were what our soldiers and marines were up against.
you forgott to say that he accidently killed like 30 civilists, in knowing that they where enemy troops ... but still, what a Man
This guy is a perfect example that loyalty should not be a good values. Learn to always pick sides and fight for the good and assess if youre still in the good side, unlike this man who fought innocent people for mere pride and mere loyalty.
Talk about honour and determination
I remember reading about this in high school in 10th grade history class
Lucky his former superior was still alive.. if not he will not be surrender until today..
He would've surrender until he died
John Wick will fetch him
If his CO is not alive.. The emperor will give order to relieve him of his duty.. Japanese government will still get him back to Japan..
A forest is actually saved in lubang because of him. Thank you may japan and the Philippines continie its friendship
@Batatz Batatatz mas tanga ka
A little trivia, the last axis army to surrender after world war to was the Croatian army. After the formal surrender of the axis army, pockets of Croat armies continued the war for another 2 months before they surrended.
He should be in the Guinness Book of Records as the World's Hiding Seek Champion.
im a filipino and i respect hes duty..as a soldier its very different from an ordinary citizen MENTALITY..yes he killed so many innocent filipinos because its WAR...in WAR sometimes there is NO RULE..and the only to win is to SURVIVE AND FIGHT
May paganyan ganyan Kapa, baka Mamaya Isa sa kamagaanak mo pinatay niyan
Japan should pay him 29yrs of his salary.. brave man indeed
The real samurai..💟
This is what you call a Soldier
Can’t blame him
He was just following his orders and if those leaflets were a fake to bring them down the mountain they would’ve died so a good smart soldier will only take direct orders or from a telephone which he didn’t have...pretty sad he was forgotten like that
Someone owes this dude a fortune in years of back pay xD
This guy is a legendary
The Great Soldier of human history
Let us take a moment and remember he and his men killed some thirty people after Japan Surrendered. Innocent civilians all of them, therefore not quite the hero rather a victim of Japan. In Japan he did become a hero. Japan should recognise all of their crimes including the Comfort Women they deserve justice as well of those innocent people,
Yet they fail to mention that he killed 30 people in his 30 years, mostly farmers/civilians.
Anyone celebrating him is celebrating a murderer who didnt even show remorse for what he did to their families. The irony
The legend had It that he still didnt surrender
Samurai spirit is burning from this man
He moved to Brazil for a while before he moved to Japan to open the school.
If your intelligence officer does not know if the war is still on or not, then the war is surely lost.
He followed all the orders he was given even after the war ended, only after getting a direct order. What a true patriot.
Onoda: I wonder what Japan and it's new generation of young men are up to these days.
*comes across Boku no Pico*
Onoda: Back to the forest I go.
There's some wrong info here. Mr Onoda did not spend the rest of his life in Japan, he came to Brazil in 1974 and became a successful cattle rancher. Then, he returned to Japan in 1984 to spend the rest of his life.
This man is no hero. He can be praised for his loyalty and presistence, but he can't be considered a hero.
Spent the rest of life in Japan? Did he immigrate to somewhere in S. America for awhile?
Brubeck Desmond yes! he lived here in Brazil
To Brazil
Indeed he couldn't adapt well to post-war Japan, so he moved to Brazil. He then returned to Japan.
Accounts are different. Some say he went to Brazil where he lived out the rest of his life and some say he lived the rest of his life in Japan. Which is it?
Its called being lost in a isolated island during war
Respects to Captain Onada
Imagine how it would've gone if they never found Major Taniguchi though.
He probably would of went on until he becomes to old knowing him.
What a hero
What a war ,so much stressed 😥. God bless
* Starts a survival-training school to toughen up children
Actual Japanese children: B*tch please, I'm too busy reading my Manga!
He was not the last he was the second to last to surrender there was a soldier in Indonesia that surrendered a few months after him
Respect you man
He's like a time traveler
basically reverse isekai
He did not spend the rest of his life in Japan he lived also in Brasil.
A true Japanese soldier would rather die than surrender.
And in the end, they must surrender in order to survive. Further conflict could result in annihilation of Japan itself.
He was not the last Japanese soldier holdout. Teruo Nakamura was!
Explain
He surrendered a few months after Onada did.
Coward Japanese always surrender
Yeah but Vietnamese kicked you ass eh, idiot
@@greengoblin2338 japanese have more courage and bravery than you will ever have. The government is not the voice of the people, the people still wanted to fight.
Once A Samurai will always be a SAMURAI
you do realise calling Onada a Samurai just because he is Japanese is deeply insulting to both Onada and actual Samurai yes?
I Salute LT Hiroo Onoda
That man was a REAL SOLDIER!
My grandmother witness the day Mr. Onoda surrender, she said he lived inside of a big tree
This man was having war while hirohito was chilling in the usa
He looked pretty rough when he came out of the jungle and after a while back in the world he looked fit as a fiddle
The last soldier was actually teruo nakamura
Firstly, He was not a Japanese but a Taiwanese, but he served the Imperial Japan
Secondly, He surrendered in 1974, the same in this guy...
But he was the last man to surrender 6 months more than Hiroo.
He spended part of your life in Brazil too before return definitely to Japan.
Well you got to admit. When he returned to Japan. The last 40 years of his life he became a Typical Japanese Businessman and cashed in on his Chapter in his Life....
30 years,not 29 years
