Happy easter
Wow I love Demon slayer debunks ninja wives
Also I want to see an Owl house cultural references
Well tbh Tengen kind of left that whole ninja left behind now that he became a demon slayer so in my mind it makes sense he's the exact opposite of a shinobi now flashy and loud
You got too hype in your advertisement for me NOT to check this out... ...
I'll finish my work and check that link later today.
isn't that fat Tanuki a little bit to explicit?
Tengen is like an anti ninja. He uses the techniques and stuff but literally everything he does stands out, it’s kinda uncanny
It’s part of the reason why is he didn’t what to the assassin his father wanted him to be so he left his usual ninja wardrobe to be more free to express himself.
That was the point. His former life was as a ninja and so he decided "Never again would he be what he was..."
well him being so stand out is makes it so when he uses his techniques it's so contrastingly different that unless you knew him you wouldn't be able to tell it was him in disguise.
that`s also ninja. as long as his every day (outside of work) personal differs from his ninja personal. being flashy is irrelevant. also, he needs to be seen, a very important part of demon slayer is to be visible to attract demons. demons can run away using shadows so the slayers need to be physical bait.
He's Japanese Ezio
"Shinobi had a profound understanding of the animal kingdom, mastering things like training animals like guard dogs or messenger birds. But also understanding the psyche of those animals in case the ninja would have to deal with them from the other side of those jaws."
"As for the less refined examples of capitalizing on animals, ninja would use various other creatures as a distraction for getting in or out."
They were pokemon masters before pokemon were even a thing.
One defence for how insanely flashy he normally is: if you get told Tengen Uzui is coming, you'll be looking *specifically* for a hyper flashy, flamboyant bishi, who is practically radiating he stands out so much. By being so loud and standing out so much, people will know of him, and that this is what to look out for. So all he needs to do to make infiltration easier is to let the place know he's coming, and then show up in disguise. Throw on a farmers outfit or tradesmen attire or something, and... you'd likely just ignore him, because that random farmer isn't flashy and you are looking for someone insanely flashy.
In other words, his normal personality and attire are misdirection mind games, which is ninja 101.
tengen uzui making his whole identity a genjutsu.
It's kinda like that psychological phenomenon where you don't recognize your teachers, co-workers, classmates, and such outside of the environment you're most familiar with them. You already have an image of how they appear built up in your mind, so you don't really consider how they would look under any other circumstance.
So, you're saying.... Superman is a ninja? He stays above people's normal line of sight, he can infiltrate by dressing down, a pair of glasses and a little playing clumsy, he can speak multiple languages (practically all earth languages and many alien ones) that helps gather intel, he does have super hearing (and other senses), depending on the version he can throw his voice with super ventriloquism to misdirect, he has used body doubles to make it seem like clark and superman were in the same room at the same time, he used to have super robots to pretend to be him, and, above all else, he does wear blue. Now that is a shinobi I didn't expect!
@@louisvictor3473 now I want "superman ninja"
@@louisvictor3473I mean, the actor for Superman actually did it. He went out in public and no one recognise him despite a giant poster of him as superman is just beside him.
I'm glad you mentioned Tengen's ability to disguise himself just by taking off all his drip, because that's something I personally found brilliant. Because if you know the person you're looking for is known for wearing ungodly amounts of bling, you're subconsciously going to be looking for that, even if you know in the front of your mind that it would make more sense for them to take it off. It's like a smarter version of Peter Griffin's "They're gonna be looking for army guys."
Tengen is not a shinobi, he is a former shinobi who is currently a demon slayer.
watch the video lmfao
Isn't former shinobi litterally how Tengen describes himself in show?
And I think you can guess why he's former. He isn't precisely the best at the trade.
@Sergio Leonardo Cornejo Tengen no longer being a shinobi has nothing to do with a lack of skill. He actually excelled at his craft and was one of only 2 children that survived the harsh training from his father. Despite being a flashy mf, he still exhibits a lot of traits that any good shinobi would have. He decided he no longer wanted to be a shinobi because he hated shinobi ideologies and what said ideologies did to his family.
@@mcnasty6231 not lack of skill. Desire to be seen.
To be fair in the context of the show it makes sense that they are fairly useless in the final battle, most humans even highly trained humans can't go toe to toe with a Demon unless trained in breath techniques. The fact that they were able to do anything against the Obi demon is a testament to their skill. And then them not interfering in the fight makes perfect sense as well, cause as we see with the one who did try to help, Gyutaro registered that she was important to Tengen and made a point to try and take her hostage or kill her.
What I don't understand is why they weren't trained in the breathing stuff at all. He was a god damn Hashira, and he couldn't be arsed to train them in that breathing thing at all? It just just doesn't make much sense to me. It's not like you can excuse it with them then being in harms way for having to battle the demons, cause they do that anyway. In the end that just opens up another hole.
@ArcticWolfGod Well, I don't know the exact timeline, but Tanjiro took two years to learn water breathing, and even then, he was nowhere near a master. So it may have taken to long, or he might just not have been a good teacher.
@@Samael2824 If the latter especially was the case, I figure the author would've shown us that (and this is the author that went out of their way to say that female ninjas are just so much inferior to male ones anyway). Time wise I might get it, but did this dude really spend all that time becoming a Hashira without bothering to teach anything to his wives that we're supposed to believe he cares so much for.
I just don't see a way to spin this in a way that would show the author or the characters in the story in good light.
@ArcticWolfGod I personally think the line about "Superior" is just in reference to his fathers view on female Ninja and not his own. And they are quite capable of defending themselves against Lower level demons, they just aren't at Hashira level.
@@Samael2824 But it just really doesn't make sense for them to not now the breathing stuff at all, of course other than that the author just wanted them to be side characters/damsels in distress. Real reason probably just is that the author wanted fan service characters and didn't bother to really think this stuff through.
And to be fair, it's been quite a while since I saw it, so I don't remember exactly how capable or incapable they were, other than what was shown on the video.
I thought the main reason for Tengen's wives being useless was the fact that Tengen would deliberately keep them out of the fighting (and even regretted sending them on this infiltration mission in the first place) because he cared more about their safety than his mission as a ninja or demon slayer (an idea that, according to the story, went against the beliefs of both his clan and the demon slayer corps' general creed).
That's it, I mean, they weren't even supposed to fight, they were sent there to infiltrate and gather informations about the demon. They got captured because well, turned out it's a fucking upper moon they were trying to spy on lol. If they were such bad kunoichi, they wouldnt've killed a bunch of people (Hina mentioned it in the flashback). They may seem useless in the UM6 fight, because they were trained to kill humans, not demons. They're not demon slayers, wtf were they supposed to do lol.
Well... yeah, you're not wrong. But after watching the Entertainment District arc for myself,
I was more irritated and annoyed by Tengen's wives, due to them not contributing anything.
Also, Suma was the most annoying, due to her constant crying and whining throughout the arc.
Odd sneaky thought. Goombah said that the Bansen Shukai might be fabricated, so what if it was. Or parts of it.
What would be one of the most useful things to put in a leaked Shinobi book? "Oh, half of our agents are useless if you have any self control. Honest. No, don't look behind you are too hard at the maids."
The Nobles would not buy someone telling them that Ninja are not a threat. But telling them that only half of them are as long as they remain "Wise"? I can see quite a few ninja, male and female just nodding to this as they go about their business.
Honestly, I think they were mostly comedy relief/eye candy/supporting cast for Tengen as most of the ally female cast are more capable and ninja like if you really think about it.
Yeah, IMO Kocho would be a good example, she keep a low profile, use poison instead of brute force, good with medicine & poisons. There's probably more to add, but I'm not the expert here, just stating some obvious stuff
I mean if thats all they were why were they ever used to infiltrate the brothels? That kinda implies they were meant to be able to do that job given to them. Find info and relay it back.
@@izzadk86 Uzui's wives: Who are you?
Shinobu: I'm you but competent.
Funnily enough Tengen did say his brother who followed family practice as a ninja has only one use for these women n thats producing heir, good for Tengen to actually trust his wives more than a simple babymaker
That didn't make them less annoying, besides being the plot device that puts the arc into motion they were useless
Considering Tengen's past, it makes sense that he would be an awful ninja as he is trying to spite his father and brother who are completely legitimate Shinobi but ended up being terrible people, like his father essentially killing the rest of his brothers to weed out the weak ones and Tengen's last brother seeing his subordinates as tools and wives as machines that produce babies. This is why he uses some of the useful techniques that he was taught but he specifically tries to be the exact opposite of a ninja so he can distance himself from his past as much as possible.
he specifically tells his wives to value their lives 1st, above their loyalty to him, or the success of the mission
Considering how other female characters are seen as capable and effective demon slayers themselves, I’d say this is more of a case of Tengen’s wives being less effective against a demon, rather than less effective overall as a kunoichi. And yes, I’m aware that’s a stretch of an argument, but I figure I’d play devil’s advocate.
Honestly you’re probably correct. There are a bunch of female characters in the series that are incredibly capable fighters. I don’t think those three were trained to be demon slayers so makes sense why they wouldn’t be good at combat
It’s not at all a stretch it’s a blatantly obvious thing to anyone who bothers to look at it. They’re fighting one of the strongest beings in their entire series. Someone who can destroy a city block using a silk belt, and this guy is shocked that they’re not doing too well the fact that they didn’t immediately get splattered across a wall makes them super human immediately .
@@charlottewalnut3118im just here like, im sorry demons have increased senses and gyutaro being able to kill with 1 cut anywhere, and thats for a normal demon slayer, they arent trained in any breathing techniques, they dont have much poison, they dont have guns or any long range weapon, and daki will kill any man or woman that could expose her as a demon, what could they honestly do, they cant run, they cant fight, of course they seem incompetent, and even then they arent ninja, like tengen theyre retired from the profession.
Also I'd personally give them a pass on their outfits since... Tengen's likely the one that asked them to dress like that because he thinks they look great like that. Got to remember this man is the self proclaimed 'God of Flashyness' so his wives looking like eye candy is par for the course. Also would say they're not skilled ninja because they're trained to fight ALONGSIDE Tengen and not on their own. Plus they WERE dealing with an Upper Moon, only those with the skill level of a Hashira have any fucking chance so can't be too harsh on these girls for getting caught.
Never thought I'd see Gaijin go this hard against the bansenshukai. Normally, it's his most reference ld material. 😮
nothing is perfect and being able to see the imperfections is hard but good.
Tengen’s wives seeming lack of competence isn’t something I really hold against them. Tengen’s kind of ridiculous and I wouldn’t hold him as the standard every shinobi in Demon Slayer should be held at. They are way, WAY out of their league fighting Upper Moon Demons, hell Tengen himself was. The Upper Moon had vastly more experience than they could ever hope to have in espionage, so them being caught was at least partly due to a difference in experience. So them being relegated to crowd control and support while irritating is understandable. Shinobi were ready to lay down their lives, but they also weren’t stupid enough to throw their lives on a mission they couldn’t accomplish. A failed mission is always less troublesome than having to train a new Shinobi from scratch.
And as far as infiltration goes, they all successfully accomplished their missions very well. Hell, Himatsuru even had a reasonable exfiltration, it was just her lack of info that would’ve been hard to figure out without being caught herself, that put her in danger. Makio and Suma getting caught is definitely their error though, so I can definitely see where you take issues with them.
The show/manga spent the entire first arc establishing that only someone equipped with andctrained in the use of a Nichirin Blade can take on Oni, even the lesser ones that were nowhere close to the Lower/Lesser Moons before Muzan "disbanded" that group (as seen by Tanjiro's first encounter where even after the partially transformed Nezuko kicked the guy's head off he could still move and be a tgreat) so of course a group of regular humans aren't going to be Killin an Upper Moon, even if it's just the weakest among there number. Goomba is a rare case but sometimes content creators tend to overlook stuff that's already received an answer.
@@Japaneseanimeguythe issue is why weren’t they trained as a demon slayer then? And why did the show go out if their way to crap on female shining compared to male shinobi. The author chose to make the wives not be trained in breathing and demon slaying and made a point in making them suck at fighting.
@@LycanDreams9159 The don't suck at fighting they know how to like how they were fighting the Obi demon but they stand no chance in an all out battle against a demon and training Demon Slayers takes time first you gotta a find a breathing style suited to you then you gotta train to use total concentration (in Tanjiro's case it took him 2 years) and finally after that you gotta pass final selection. Even if you do all of that you're not gonna be powerful enough to take on Moons, The wives are meant to gather intel and infiltrate with maybe a few fights here and there they're not meant to be combatants
@@LycanDreams9159 not everyone can learn and be taught to be a demon slayer. Rengoku's little brother couldn't, and he was taught by a current and former hasira from the time he was a young child. Aoi went through final selection and while she survived she knew she couldn't cut it. Also, if you are a demon slayer, and know that you are going to die; are you really going to train the ones you love and are supposed to protect to do it? The Rengoku's are different, it is the family business essentially.
'The show says a kunoichi could never match up to the capabilities of a male shinobi' To be fair, they at least just say 'in terms of strength'. Their skill left plenty to be desired, though
even about strength, its only true in a vacuum
@@venomx99x not true my guy. Women in general are weaker than most men. I’m not saying that to be sexist it’s just how we survived as a species. Men are meant to be disposable and generally did the hunting. Women were usually taking care of the family and such. Can women match a man in skill as a fighter absolutely but most fights are usually determined by strength and endurance. When Bruce lee was asked if he could beat Muhammad Ali he said he couldn’t because of the strength and size difference.
@@eaglewarrior7979 Then again, that argument can be turned on its head, when you take a look at what humans have done with animals that are several times their size, during the stone age, where they were nowhere near the top of the food chain as we are today.
@@eaglewarrior7979 Fair and it's understandable this was a reason why there were only male Samurai. Ninja on the other hand it was favored to be smaller and lighter since a Ninja's primary purpose is infiltration rather than fighting. This is probably why historically there were female Ninja, because physical combat wasn't the primary goal.
@@venomx99x no strength is an absolute men 99% of the time will be stronger than any woman they come across simply because of the virtue of being larger than them men build more muscle they have more attachment points for muscle. They have more cortisol and adrenaline and testosterone, which also makes you strong women have no way of becoming stronger than men that is a simple fact as to the show some humans are capable of using the breathing techniques. Most are not.
I want an animated adaptation of Mochizuki Chiyome, that sounds pretty sweet.
Been a hot minute since your last Which Ninja, and it did not disappoint! These are always such a grand wellspring of knowledge for me and I thank you. The fact it covered my man Uzui this time was great, I won't lie though in that I thought his flashy nature was going to be the failure point until you reminded me of Yo-nin. Maybe Zuko should take lessons from him on that front XD
Lmao, I was recently thinking about how counteractive Uzui is. A "flashy ninja" is the most un-ninja thing ever.
Unless your trying to distract an army for helping your allies escape, it not going to be a hindrance
and yet according to Gaijin even the flashiness was still more ninja than you would think
@@origialtych yeah I just finished the video. Flashiness aside, Uzui is actually a great ninja.
It's his 3 incompetent kunoichi wives that Gaijin has beef with.
@@enderaceofspades8579 And the reason for Tengen's wives' incompetence?
Sexism that did not age well in the Bansenshukai. No wonder Gaijin went ballistic instead of the Goomba.
@@enderaceofspades8579 yeeep
But keep in mind that these ordinary kunoichi were not trained to fight semi immortal super powered demons that could only be killed by special weapons that they didn't have so they couldn't help
Most humans would die to demons so it’s better to stay out of the way if you can’t provide help.
Most female ninja probably weren’t trying to fight much at all because it would be better for them to get out of an area. Relying on the fact that men aren’t going to fight as hard against a woman or try as hard because it would embarrass them not only that but it’s a lot easier to kill a man once you have him naked in a bed and he doesn’t have anything with him heck I’m pretty sure there was a gay male prostitute who did sideline work as an assassin based around that principle specifically and several serial killers who also function in that way both male and female it’s a lot easier to kill somebody when you know that they are disarmed
When I saw this character I thought, “man I can’t wait for goombas reaction.”
8:24 I was not expecting you to roast his wives that caught me off guard
My only comment on Tengen's wives is that the subtitles read "could never hope to match a male shinobi in terms of strength". It does not say "in all aspects" I believe they were just referencing, especially around this period of time, that women are biologically less physically strong than men. And in the final battle, after just being freed from being captured by demons, they had nothing but kunai. Even for a shinobi, how can you expect them to contribute when they only have one weapon that could easily break on their person?
The word "strength" is subjective in that it could mean muscular capability, fighting capability, endurance capability, or job capability. I understand they could have meant the earlier, but considering how Shonen anime describes "strength" I wouldn't think it would just be muscular capability.
@@GaijinGoombah Even if it refers to overall combat strength, I still think they did pretty well considering their opponent was Upper moon six, the seventh strongest demon in existence, one that has killed several Hashira over their lifetime and was able to cut a sword in half with a scythe as a human. And like Ragnarok said, they had presumably been interrogated for several days previously and were most certainly not at 100%. And considering how many letters Uzui had from them, it's not even as if they were caught immediately either.
@@samuelsoliday4381 One problem with their fighting is, they didn`t show the use of breathing techniques. meaning the show handicapped them. Shinobu and Tamayo both use proper ninja techniques. with their poison, medicine, unique abilities.
@@GaijinGoombah The Final Battle is literally going toe-to-toe with the enemy. As far as "Muscular capability" is concerned within the modern times...
Males are more stronger than females, according to the military documents
If the three Kunoichi is properly trained for intel gathering just like Chiyome, the three women would be great, but why would Tengen need Tanjiro and the others if the three weren't kidnapped.
It makes the story progress.
@@JayJayM57 As demonstrated with Kyojuro's brother Senjuro, not everyone has the aptitude to master a breathing style. Even Uzui, is only using an offshoot of the thunder breathing. It's not something you can really blame someone for.
Honestly I don't think they were to bad mostly because they aren't trained as demonslayers even then they still contributed to a degree in the final fight with the kuni with poison I think its important to remember that fighting a demon without a breathing technique is considered near impossible and considering inosuke and zenitsu where struggling because they had to protect civilians its just a case of them not getting their time to shine because of the stakes
@11:10 i feel like theres some irony here, because Momiji is a Shrine Maiden, and Ryu's apprentice and is treated like a legit shinobi in NInja Gaiden. 😅 ( i also realized irony may not have been the right word here lol )
Jitsu Squad looks amazing the Fight 'N Rage references sold it for me. The fact that you knew about it is another example that you are truly a man of culture.
I don't have money to get Jitsu Squad right now, but I added it to my Steam wishlist.
I actually agree with some of these. I'm surprised, I'm also happy to see you not getting pissy at Tengen, for a moment I thought you were going to be.
But yeah, they really fucking shat on Kunoichi's with those characters. I had heard a bit of Mochi, but didn't get to learn too much about her, hearing you affirm and talk about her in a bit more detail, makes me really happy.
"Oda Nobunaga was a nice guy" and I am dead.
This gives me an idea.
@@GaijinGoombah it was a good joke!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the show said they had remained undercover for years but were only recently caught by Daki. So they were pretty good at not getting caught since they had sent Tengen so many recon letters.
Nah you're right
NGL, i was expecting a joke rant about how Tengen was wearing a black outfit instead of a blue outfit, but I got so much more than I bargained for. 10/10, Gaijin!
I always assumed they were looking like that to be eye candy for their husband and they being inept was matter of Shingen and other just being monsters in comparison. Well it's interesting that there were historical basis (even if fake one) for it.
Please never stop uploading, Gaijin
I'm still waiting for this series to come back to Toonami.
The Mugen Train arc was made into a theatrical OVA, which never aired on TV, and the show hasn't been on the block since the first season.
Toonami has also been down on its luck recently; JoJo Part 6 got sniped by Netflix, so many other great series were locked to other streaming platforms, and most other bridges got burned between Sony's purchase/devouring of FUNimation (RIP) and WB's merger with Discovery leading to a mass purge of content (including original anime like Fena, Shenmue, and Blade Runner, which probably caused a lot of rifts with other studios).
Thanks for explaining Yo-nin.
Another argument i could use with Yoshimitsu's multiple diffrent inspired attires once Tekken 8 announces him
Not gonna lie... I'm glad you showed of Jitsu Squad in today's video! I remember when they had the demo out all that time ago and immediately fell in love!!!! One of these days I will pick up it for that classic side scrolling high action side to side butt kicking nostalgia!!
I'm glad he brought up Fight 'N Rage too as it needs more of a spotlight too. I'll have to grab Jitsu Squad later as it looks amazing.
6:24 You saying this actually reminds me that there's a version of Pidge from Voltron where he comes from a race of ninja scientists.
Im going to guess that since the series takes place around when things like trains and electricity were created, ninjas started to fall out of needs most likely, and most likely there only a few families of ninjas like tengan's. That my theory
3:27 Praise Benny! He shines on from Heaven and fills our souls with hype.
Ngl, I thought Gaijin was gonna rant about Tengen's height😅 since Ninjas were supposed to be no taller that 160 cm or so, while tengen is a skyscraper!
Can’t wait to see a which ninja with Espio from the sonic series!
Perhaps the reason lies in necessity not sexism. How many shinobi does the Demon Slayer corps have at their disposal? Probably only a few counting Tengen and his wives. This makes Tengen's wives valuable assets for searching for demons. Finding out where the demons are is just as important as having talented swordsmen. If Tengen's wives start breathing training, they will not be able to gather information. Basically, Tengen's wives are more valuable honing and utilizing their ninja skills rather than learning breathing techniques.
Thanks for reminding me of Jitsu Squad. Turns out it was already on my wishlist, just forgot it existed. Time to pick it up.
I don't even think the wives were portrayed as incompetent at all just that the demons were to powerful. Honestly who's gonna think that a sentient obi is spying on them and able to relay info to the main demon. Not to mention in that fight Zenitsu and Inosuke are with the wives and struggling to do any meaningful damage until Tengen arrives.
As for the final battle 1 of the wives does give Tanjero an opportunity with the poison kuni and they all stay out of the way when the last 3 fighters are moving so fast anyone would have difficulty seeing them much less keeping up.
I think calling the wives both brainless and useless is too harsh. the Ponytail one did help with the Kunai attack at one point, and the rest of the time because the target was a demon they didnt really have a good way to counter without the highly specialized breathing sword techniques.
one point that made me think of your videos in the show was where Tengen said to survive no matter what to his wives, opposed to his fathers teachings of dying for the mission......when in your videos you mention how one of the Ninjas main tenet was to survive no matter what. I thought it was kind of ironic how in defying his ninja family he would actually be going more in line to historical ninja.
I'd be more inclined to believe there was a mistranslation/incomplete translation and that the actual record states that "kunoichi pretended to be dim, subservient, etc. because it was easier to gain access and intel if the target believed them to be such."
12:15 The contrargument would be that ninjas did exist, in any country actually, just not the ones depicted in pop culture. After all is not rare of government bodies/high authorities around the world to hire spies and assassins at some point, and their secrecy was part of their job. Hence why anything about ninjas is dubious by the fact we would never know what those secret agents did behind the scene. And the line between a ninja and someone who isn't was very fine at times, even samurais did use ninja techniches at some point to win battles or do undercover jobs.
So I looked it up and it kinda makes sense that Uzuis wives are like that, apparently they were meant to just be baby farms bc their clans are massively sexist and as such weren't taught anything other than just being domestic, but even then they aren't useless by any means. They were doing good information gathering and were targeted when off guard, they did their actual jobs very well since the training they got from Uzui was for support roles to keep them out of danger, and they spent the fight helping to evacuate civilians so that no innocent lives were lost. All things considered the only real problems they have are being quirky in the same way as the main trio
Thank you! This is something that's been bothering me.
To be fair to historical documents saying Kunoichi were incompetent... Wouldn't they want people to think that to give them an extra advantage?
At very least it would give exposed ninja agents a way to plead for mercy for their wives, as well as a way to deny using them for missions.
Sounds like Jitsu Squad would make for a good Let's Play. I'll make sure to squeeze it into my schedule. I should be able to start on it after I finish Monster Sanctuary.
Honestly I’m sorta willing to forgive the incompetence of Tengen’s wives considering demons in this show/manga all have super powers and can only be killed with a specific type blade plus just having said specific blade doesn’t guarantee someone can easily take down a demon plus the fact that they weren’t dealing with any regular demon that’s like giving someone the vampire killer and expecting them to solo Dracula’s castle and I’m more shocked that Tengen himself is an accurate ninja
(Great video by the way would love to see a ninja analysis on joker from persona 5 or one of the many assassins from fire emblem)
YOu know, you mentioned getting Nobu from Fate in your searches... I'm surprised you didn't get Chiyome from Fate as well. Sure she's a lesser character kind of in the game with her whole Orochi curse stuff only being in LB5.1 and her cameo before dying in Shimosa when you take down Ashiya Douman for being a Douche Canoe, but still.... Also, thankfully with all the Ninja's they have in FGO, Fuuma "Evil Wind" Kotarou, Katou "Black Kite" Danzo and Chiyome are pretty great when they come to their ninja skill in the game... Even if Katou Danzo is part robot Ninja girl and Chiyome has Orochi cursed snake powers that even Hazama from Blazblue would say is extreme.
Good Episode though, Hopefully we get more female ninja's just to break that book in half more!
Chiyome from Fate would get me demonitized. You know why lol.
@@GaijinGoombah Only if you use her initial appearance for reference, her first ascended form looks more like an actual ninja.
@@GaijinGoombah Since their only good AScension artwork is the second and third one... Yeah, you're not entirely wrong.
"Kisses for the eyeballs" is not a phrase I thought I'd ever hear, but I'm 1000% on board with it
Would you do a which ninja episode on the character Randy Cunningham from Randy Cunningham 9th grade Ninja ? I'm interested on your take towards him since I could see you going two ways with him either being really bad as a shinobi or surprising good as one.
OK here me out, that book he mentioned that called female ninja inferior. It was a gas light, ment to wind up.innthe hands of non ninja so that if someone ever caught a female ninja they would lower their guard to everything expect sexual advances. Mabey even have this mind set of "they are so good in bed they can turn a man against his friends" reducing the chances of.... less then consensual embracing.
I never heard Gaijin's voice go that raw and angry before. It's kinda awesome and refreshing, honestly.
Well this was a rabbit hole I never expected to go down
I'm not sure what I love more, the history or the rage lol
In defense of tengens wives, you can’t exactly fight demons without a breath style, they remained concealed for a good while, and retreated to not drag tengen down, which is also something tengen instilled in them, to prioritize their lives above his, also, this is a shonen anime, so seeing some cleavage is expected. They also did pretty decent against the obis in the first few minutes they were fighting and withdrew when their skills were no longer viable
0:17 POV: You're waiting for a new Which Ninja episode after watching the latest one.
Sometimes, old things simply don't age well.
OK I can’t believe it but I swear this is the first time I’ve heard you talking about how ninjas and used animals in their engine seeds instead of their environment and tools, but carrying a snake in your backpack just scared of all the people out of the building that is radical
0:58 I thought it was a headband with white cloth on his head and still can't unsee it when it turned out to be his hair.
small side note: I always belived that "naruto" run with the arms out would also be good to keeping balance as well
I cant believe i dead forgot about jitsu squad
I know you specialize in Japan ninja’s/shinobi’s but it will be interesting on your takes on spy/Rogue on other parts of the world is actually quite fascinating. Japan was not the only one that had mid evil spy networks.
Nice video. By what you said though I think Kaitou Kid from Detective Conan is a good candidate for Ninja as well. He use disguise, deliberately dress in pure white at night so it easier to divert people attention when he switch to a darker colored cloths. And let’s not forget the disguise. Plus he always try to make it seems like he has supernatural powers by careful planning, gadgets and have help. Think you could do a video about him? 😁
I guess the main issue is the claim his wives were skilled ninja... When they failed at every aspect of the job.
Can you do an episode about Assassin's creed
There are many things that are ninja like.
Leap stabbing, crowd invisibility, using high places to hide,...
I'm waiting for the newest Assassins Creed in Japan game.
@@GaijinGoombahwill you ever review Bionicle and the cultural inspirations?
@@akumaking1cultural inspiration? Like their names?
There will be BLOOD...SHED
11:06 Fucking! Thank you! I was wondering if you were going to mention her. Especially as a Fate fan myself.
Ha-HAH! The twist.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
11:08 That could be the persona of the next High Priestess party member in a later Persona game. They could be like Mitsuru from 3, where they start off as a moderate navigator for your party. But after you recruit your proper navigator, they join the party more directly in battle.
if you can in the future of content making for _Which Ninja_ videos, you should cover:
- Raiden/Grey Fox (Metal Gear)(even if hes in the intro but was never covered to talk about)
- Espio the Chameleon (Sonic)
- Joe Musashi (Shinobi)
- Hostuma (Shinobi 2002)
- Kage-Maru (Viruta Fighter)(hes actually wearing blue as his default costume)
Thanks for this.
I was just thinking about you today! What a coincidence😊
11:50 Tuvoc: Someone is obviously lying.
Kishimoto probably have it too in subconsciousness. While we were told that there is no difference in threat level between male and female ninja early. Manga events seams to contradict this.
Not really...Kishimoto has admitted that he's bad at writing female characters in general. It's something he has noted about himself.
I would love seeing what you think of Jack from 'Ghost-Runner.' I feel like you could absolutely tear into shreds about how "not ninja" he is
Hey Gaijin, have you ever watched the tv-series shuriken school. I wonder what you think of this semi-modern ninja school and the different disciplines shown through the characters.
Another absolutely great and enlightening Which Ninja episode.
I hope someday you tackle the characters of my all time FAVORITE ninja game franchise, "Tenchu". Translating to "Heaven's Judgement" it's a phenomenal game franchise in my personal opinion since the PS1 era, with entries on PS2, PS3, Xbox360, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. Almost always following the primary cast of Shinobi Rikimaru and Kunoichi Ayame, with other characters occasionally added into the mix such as former next in line as clan leader of the fictional Azuma Ninja clan Tatsumaru and doctor Tesshu Fujioka. Of course Tenchu Z has you create a fully customized character that acts as an operative for Rikimaru. Honestly i think between ALL of the titles there is a lot of historical accuracies, mythological elements, techniques, skills, and weaponry utilized to be discussed.
Timeline wise though it can sometimes be a bit tricky since the second game is essentially a prequel (and about the only one to feature customizable levels, which i honestly loved), and since for some reason depending on the console it can occasionally have different titles for the same entry.
Additionally i'd love a What Culture on some of the talking points pertaining to the various entries in the "Way of the Samurai" game franchise. Annoying to get through as they can sometimes be with their time-sensitive story progression and the like, they seem to cover quite a bit in regards to swordsmanship and sword styles (both literally and techniques), have some pretty darn nice visuals, and they feel a bit like they are a commentary of the shifts in Japanese culture. Just throwing those out there for consideration..
Is it bad that I knew Gaijin was going to flip out about the wives? Lmao
Agreed though, they kinda got shafted in terms of writing.
12:32 "If a person was properly trained" Yeah that is the thing, Its been a while since I watched Demon Slayer, but iirc they were not, that group thought woman were just good for making more men as such they were not trained properly (and as to why those outfits), they were ready to simply lay down their lifes to protect their husband as they were taught that is what they were good for, Tengen instead told them to protect themselfs first, They were pretty good at what they did for spying for a long while, and even after being captured holding their own against a demon without a breathing technique. I'm pretty sure if they were trained equally they could be at the level of Tengen or close. The line "No Kunoichi can match a Shinobi's strengh" feels as they trying to justify their actions but comes across as "No woman without training can match a man who has been properly trained" which is dumb, and imo the point. But Maybe I'm just misremembering.
But that's his story though. Isn't Tengen whole deal is that Shinobis are all about being covert and quiet. He doesn't like being a shinobi because of that, prefers being flamboyant. He's the Anti- Ninja, so him being flashy and loud makes sense. Plus his wives are still technically shinobis, I think they did pretty good at shinobi-ing
nice to hear about both tengen and jitsu squad
alternative title:Tengen Uzui wifes Gives him Shinobi RAGE In Demon Slayer.
plus note tengen despite what a shinobi is chosen his literary way of life cuz is the effect of past life cuz sure he do well as shinobi but in the past it the atmosphere while training be a shinobi nothing but unkindness and totally cold blood only as tool for high rank people for they own selfish and he see front his own person became mindless shinobi that make him feel totally afraid.
09:26 oh damn shots fired! 😂😂😂😂😂
Tengen: "I must apologize for my wives, they are idiots. We have purposely trained them wrong, as a joke."
Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist
I mean to be fair, his wives aren't completely incompetend. They DID hold their tongue when under thread and torture, that requires at least some profetional abilitys. And Hinatsuru is easily the most competend of all three of them. Not only did she stay undercover the longest, and manage to reach Oiran status in impressively short time (I can't remember if the other two where classified as Oiran as well), she also figured out that she was busted before beeing captured and tried to retread by faining illness. (Sure, that retread failed, but it was still a smart thing to at least attempt!) Than in the final fight, she uses distraction/poisoned weapons to aid Usui, despite still beeing severely weakened by the poison she had consumed. I'd say, from what little we see, if she had actually been healthy during that fight, she would have been a pretty decent ally!
Time For A Ninja Bounty Hunt
So now we need a video of Gaijin raging about DoA ninjas 🤣🤣🤣
You should do a Which Ninja for Randy Cunningham, a ninja episode for one of my favorite ninjas. Also another cartoon episode.
8:26 OH! It's the kunoichi that aren't good ninja! Hmm 🤔
What the heck are all those kunoichi doing carrying so many spades around? Heck, they use those hand shovels as main weapons apparently...
Damn I thought he wasn’t really a shinobi but I was proven wrong.
only tengen wifes case.
this is probably up to your patreaons and all but i would love for you to talk about ninjas in sentai like kakuranger, shinkenger and hurrikenger
I think that bit about stupid kunoichi was just deception tactics from the ninja clan. They might want to have at least one ninja art carry on in obscurity in the modern day, even if under a flimsy excuse of polite fiction.
How frequently ninjas and other spies disguise themselves as being in religious positions, and with their common emphasis on silent movement, I think assigning "leather armor" to all rogue/thief classes in most games is a huge mistake. Plus, the "leather armor" isn't actually leather armor anyways, it's usually just leather clothing, which offers no greater protection and just makes them noisy and stand out more. I think rogues in World of Warcraft should be a cloth-wearing class, and I think leather wearers in D&D should get a penalty to stealth.
"i wonder what his problem is with this"
*shows the wives*
"OH....yeah that make sense".
Given the way he was brought up of course he would have a anti-ninja fighting style being flashy and loud
why do i find your rage amusing
I sit and think about it and...what if those entries about women being inferior a feint? A means of basically going, "Hur hur, woman bad." as a means of causing others to underestimate kunoichi. I mean think about it, "little ole damsel in distress" would be an excellent cover to just soak up information like a damn sponge. Granted, I haven't seen season 2 yet nor have I seen this particular sequence, but considering how incredibly tricksy demons in that universe can be and how bonkers their powers can get, why not drop what appear to be "3 inept bimbos" in the middle of a red light district to just feed information and to not entirely blow their cover by "not being of any use in a fight." Everything you see might be a calculated risk to make sure something of greater use happens or some crucial information gets somewhere to do more damage to their targets. Again, still haven't seen season 2, but if they're suppose to be ninja and they have as much understanding of the preconceived notions of gender roles/identity of this particular universe, why not exploit the hell out of it to your advantage?
