To limit Miyamoto Musashi to one story does him a disservice. The man was truly legendary. One duel he showed up very late so that he could fight such that the sun was low and at his back the whole time, blinding his opponent. Many called him dishonorable for some of the tactics he used, but a true warrior can turn the world around them into a weapon against their opponent.
Cool. Especially talking about Musashi. But there are some that deserve some credit. Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi, the famous one eyed samurai. Although, there were reports about him having both eyes, but he was still legit. Tomoe Gozen. The famed samurai woman who was putting in work during the Heian era during the Genpei War by being both a great archer, and swordsman. Yasuke. The black samurai who was a former slave that got off a Portuguese ship, and ended up serving under Oda Nobunaga as a samurai. And he became the first foreign person to become a samurai which will also happen to other foreigners after him. Finally, the one eyed dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune. He was as intelligent, as he was skilled, and aggressive. And he was even considered progressive for his time by being open to western knowledge, and technology in a similar way that Nobunaga did. Sorry for the long comment. Liked the video, and I would also like to check out the Shogunate channel, as well. It seems interesting to learn from.
There is also William Adams also became a Samurai too in 1600. He was an English sailor from Kent, learned how to become a navigator, sailed with the Dutch to Japan and then he served Tokugawa Ieyasu till he died. The guy became part of his inner circle primarily because of his knowledge of astrology, shipbuilding, navigation and other maritime tid-bits. He was crucial to the new Shogun's navy. In fact the miniseries Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune, is based on this man.
You're missing the part where Musashi also stood with his back facing the sun so as to disguise the length of his blade whilst he raised it above his head. With all the sunlight bleeding, it was impossible to tell that he also had a Odachi so Sasaki thought it was a regular Katana.
It Yoshitsune's time was an interesting one. At that time, they had not standardized the suicide ritual of seppukku and were still figuring the whole thing out. The worse part about researching seppukku was that they can't exchange notes when the ritual went extremely well.
Oh hey! Honda Tadakatsu!! He was the daimyo of where I live. We've got a big beautiful statue of him in the park! His kids were powerful warriors too, even his daughter. One of his sons went on to inherit Himeji castle.
Kusunoki Masashige is said to be the true embodiment of Bushido. His loyalty and servitude to his Lord was unmatched and an inspiration for other Samurai.
I live in a town called Chihaya Akasaka Village, where Kusunoki Masanari once lived. I am very happy to see that Mr. Kusunoki is being introduced abroad.
I was hoping to hear about Musashi especially after reading the books by Eiji Yoshikawa(which you oughta read, Linfamy, it's a great series) and you did not disappoint :)
Love both these channels! This video was a super fun watch. I'm excited to watch the other part on TheShogunate's channel! Thanks for all the hard work, you two!!
One Piece's Wano arc is chock full of Japanese myth references and I'm determined to go over your channel as much as I can take, I'm living. Just subscribed 😁 (was so surprised how Zoro vs Gyukimaru is almost 1:1 with the Benkei vs Yoshitsune story im stoked; though the bromance happened with somebody else)
So much of one piece actually comes from Japanese lore. It makes the story seem so much deeper. Edit: I hadn’t realized someone already posted about one piece, but that just makes me happier, seeing that I’m not the only one :D
The first story of benkei standing even when he died gives me Manga flash backs of yoriichi dying standing up straight that even death couldn't bring him to his knees.
What I knew about Musashi and Kojiro's duel was that Musashi overslept, forgot his sword, and just took whatever he had nearby. Kojiro was furious, yes, so he went full bananas and attacked Musashi. He missed his attack because Musashi panicked a bit and Musashi's wooden oar hit Kojiro's head. It was a duel ended in a single strike because Musashi panicked and happen to swing his oar to the right direction. But I doubt that was the case. I'm sure Musashi just want to make Kojiro pissed so that he'd be easily defeated.
The story about Kusunoki Masashige actually contains a true legend itself. Masashige daughter in law was Iga No tsubone. As you said, Masashige suggested to Go-daigo to retreat but the emperor decided to fight and follow the plan of a man called Fujiwara no Kyokata. then Minatogawa battle happened, everyone did seppuku and it was the end as you said, Kyokata too was forced to commit seppuku because he got the blame for the faliure When the imperial court went to Yoshino to escape everyone, the young daughter Iga no Tsubone started seeing a ghost. this ghost was Kyokata who felt a huge anger towards the imperial court. Iga no tsubone already proved her great strenght by using a tree to help the empress bypass a river to Yoshino, and now she stared directly at the ghost and shouted to him TO GO AWAY and the ghost did so. this story has a very cool series of Ukiyo-e prints, featuring in 100 aspects of the moon by Yoshitoshi pic: media.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection_images/2/258.2012.15%23%23S.jpg
A relative of mine also came from every battlefield without a scratch and I managed to get cut by a Katana in Europe... Sigh. This relative of mine worked in Bosnia, Egypt, Syria and probably every sh!thole of Africa and Latin America. Another relative of mine was hit by a bomb in WWII and continued fighting despite multiple shrapnel wounds and as it later turned out, one piece stuck in his brain! Several pieces were inoperable and thus he kept them until he died in his 90s. Some people survive the impossible, others just get injured by the impossible... Fun fact: I do know a guy injured by a spear and another by a Sabre and that in this timeline without asking for it... The prior was an attack from behind by a British hooligan. The latter was about a girl and someone forced him to duel with real sabres...
@@Linfamy one brought them and told him to pick one up, or he'll cut him down. It was essentially attempted murder with extra steps. There was a considerable disparity in fencing skill. If he'd just come with one blade and killed him, he'd be arrested for murder, but if both duel and one dies, it's at best manslaughter...
😯4:10 Honda Tadakatsu! I heard about him last year! I thought he was just a story until it was confirmed to me that He was the real Deal! Plus wielding a masamune!
I like how the first time I heard about Yoshitsune and Benkei is from a Legend Rare unit on Battle Cats named "Ushiwakamaru" and "Colossal Benkei". They pretty much turned Benkei into a giant mecha XD
Honda Tadakatsu died by his own hand. After a little over 100 battles, he never got a scratch, never bled. No one made him bleed. Heihachiro (his courtesy name) actually lived to retire and see old age. IIRC, when he was 60-70, he was chopping wood or doing some kind of woodwork and scratches himself. So the first time he sees his own blood shed, he sees it as time to die and offs himself.
Didn’t mention a lot about musashi especially because he had the nickname the one man invincible under the sun unrivaled under heaven and was known for dirty tactics and his many duels taking out a clan etc
I watched this video twice From your channel to shognate's channel from his channel to yours and *cough cough * end up in the loop of lust for more videos
So Benkei is why there's the trope of the challenging/thieving giant who operates at night. Figures. Originality isn't dead but it plays possum amazingly well.
It is said that Yoshitsune was a beautiful man, but in fact it is different. The school anthem 'Ushiwakamaru' begins with, 'On a bridge of Gojo in Kyoto,' and the statues of Ushiwakamaru and Benkei stand at the western end of the Gojo-ohashi Bridge and on the median strip of the street. Considering that the Gojo-ohashi Bridge in the era of Ushiwakamaru and Benkei was located on the former Gojo-oji Street (the present-day Matsubara-dori Street), the historical evidence may not be properly examined, but the encounter of Ushiwakamaru with Benkei on Gojo-ohashi Bridge, which in fact occurred in a different place, may have been a contrived tale Therefore, the bridge of the Matsubara-dori Street is the true 'bridge in Gojo' where Ushiwakamaru and the priest Musashibo Benkei are said to have met; this means that the statues of Ushiwakamaru and Benkei standing at Gojo-ohashi Nishizume are two blocks south of where they should be There was a samurai named Yoshitsune Yamamoto He was a warlord at the end of the Heian period. He is Omi Genji who pulls the genealogy of Minamoto Yoshimitsu. He raised an army in Omi Province early in the Jisho-Juei War. Since his original name was Genji (Minamoto clan), his official name was MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune, which was an identical name with the famous MINAMOTO no Yoshitsune from the Kawachi-Genji (Minamoto clan) as a brother of MINAMOTO no Yoritomo, so he was known in the 'Two Yoshitsune Theory.'
@@atsukorichards1675 It is not well known that Genji at that time had two men named Yoshitsunes The official name was Yamamoto kanja Yoshitsune He was a warlord at the end of the Heian period., He is Omi Genji, and he is a genealogy of Yoshimitsu Minamoto. In other words, He was Yoshitsune Minamoto, too It is a person in front of the third Shinra saburo Morimitsu, the founder of Kai-Genji. You may think of him as one of my ancestors. I don't think blood is connected, and in fact, there is no blood connection. because it's a story on the family tree
And now so many elements of the _Nioh 2_ DLC "The Tengu's Disciple" make so much more sense, right down to why Yoshitsune hops around on the rails of a bridge during his fight.

Finally your take on the story of Yoshitsune and Benkei...
Just a short take. There's a lot more obviously =)
Great video about Samurai 👍
