@AntonyCummins I have a (probably stupid) question about rōnin: why would some lords hire rōnin for years and not just "de-rōnin" them by having these rōnin pledge loyalty to them?? Did the rōnin not want to (and why)? Or did the lords not want to (and why)?
I can’t watch this in full just yet but I will when I find time. I’ll at least make my contribution to the algorithm. This vid looks exciting as you and Steven have such great passion for Japanese history!
A grand video! From good men no less. Cute kid, future scholar? Also, bought Samurai Death Cult a few weeks ago. Great book, in reading it, I find that while different, there is much similarity between Japan and the Mediterranean classical to medieval world. Spirits being in every part of life, tradition dictated by their desire to avoid calamity. That part about the accuracy of Conan got a hard laugh, but I'm glad someone appreciates Howard's work to represent the ancient age mentality. You have my thanks!
I was just there back in February of this year. To walk around it with the siege in mind rendered me speechless. The history lesson inside the castle steered quite heavily toward Hideyoshi's "humble" beginnings and legitimacy, which I found rather amusing. Anyway, GREAT VIDEO!

WOW great amount of views Antony. I love it when your channel does well. Getting the truth out there is important!
It’s terrible views

I do not know the full answer but at a guess it’s easy to get them out of your service. But your question is excellent.
Great work here. tnx
Finally I got the time to watch this. Really enjoyed watching him tell the story

Is that Arthur's video debut?
Great video with lots of information. Thank you.
Yes, it is!
Oh, I hadn't seen Steven on video in ages!
He was in one a couple of weeks ago. Check back through my uploads
Thank you very interesting your video
Steven please don't put the camera so close to your face. Thanks.
I don't really need to see Nojiri's scraggly face that close up. This dude needs to learn some basics of effective visual presentation.
Needs to learn about lighting too.
Why not edit out the crying baby?! And sloppy “or something like that” quites fron the yeti guy. Sloppy
