Perhaps he did know, but it was likely a ploy. He could have chosen to sacrifice his honor to gather all of the Emperor’s potential enemies in one spot to be crushed.
He's the most loyal to Emperor, he died along with the last of the rebelled samurai in hopeless battles to ensure no one challenge Emperor's authority again.
The difference of ideology between him and emperor create this, he actually wanted to keep western technology with japanese style government, unfortunately thats what not emperor wanted
This is literally how power works. You use the "useful idiots" to take the power. But the "idiots" are dangerous for the new government, so you have to get rid of them after the revolution succeeds.
@@user-and-id You're right it's 60 not 50. Thanks for the correction I'll change it. I think I accidentally confused 60:1 with 15:1 from winged hussars because I do confuse the lyrics sometimes whilst singing. Again thanks for the correction, sorry for the ramble.
Yes, indeed. That's just sad. Whoever was responsible for Rome 2 should've been just fired. This game had so many scandals surrounding it, this isn't even funny.
Duy Nguyen Technically yes. That film is a tribute to Sigo Takamori. It’s a rough translation. Plurals are different in Japanese. So when it says the last samurai, it actually means Last of the Samurai.
Oh yes, these soundtracks drives crazy, I just love it, wonderful japanese soutracks, inside all scenes, just Brilliant, from A Brazilian fan always....,,...
The US general that opened up Japan again I forgot his name but he was like “Okay guys we know you had you’re little antisocial time away from the world but you have to come back in or you know we might not get things like Mario or The Legend of Zelda in the future” Remember this was a rough interpretation
@@Real_British the emperor probably didn’t do it himself but his oligarchs were the one who did it (Though since Takamori was marching with a force to Edo it might explain why the emperor did it)
Interesting so basically the Tokugawa closed Japan out of fear the tozama would outperform them militarily and financially through trade. It was just a matter of delaying the inevitable.
I doubt it. By the time of Iemitsu, European Knights would have died out (despite the existence of a handful of knightly orders). The Age of the European Knight ended due to the beginnings of firearms, the use of mercenaries, and the development of more professional armies.
More civil wars maybe? The video said the outsiders being rich through foreign trade is dangerous for stability, and I think I've heard similar things going on with Date clan
@@freakrx2349 it depends how you look at it. Not in all countries Knights ended - for example, they remained in place in Polish Kingdom, and by new and new priviliges gained power over a King. Poland, full of vast polacies and plaines, still needed a heavy calvary to defend itself - and in 1502 formed its more-or-less known calvary formation called ,,Winged Hussars" (although majority of its forces was Light calvary). Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a Medieval country in times, when people forgot what it was. It still used Popular Movement, it was still mostly using guerilla warfare and had pretty much feudal economy. Still, it was the only one that managed to turn it into its superpower until XVIIIth Century, when Heavy Calvary went out of fashion on battlefield.
Apparently Saigo Takamori didn't know what he was fighting for until it was over.
Tbh, he knows..but the emperor started went south

Saigo faught for the emperor and in return all samurai and daimyo were cast down.
*Ironic.*

I thought Tom Cruise was the last samurai. lol

Tom Cruise characters was inspired by Jules Brunet, a french officer who actually fought with the last samurai at Hakkodate.
@@xXArnOdu974Xx so,morelike the last foreign samurai
Tom Cruise was never Samurai in that movie. Samurai can be used singular or plural. The movie was about the last samurai as a group.
That very last scene reminds me the ending part of the opening cutscene in the first Shogun Total War. And I like it~
I love that throwback to Shogun 1 at the end.

Its all fun and games until your enemy unfurls the banner of the Emperor.
are you saying that my very first clan satsuma won the war in real life.
Yes, well..tbh..almost, the emperor betray em with different ideology after hakodate event and boshin war ended with the "meiji restoration" project
imagine... the shimazu actually won in the end... almost... so close...
@@Real_British the emperor probably didn’t do it himself but his oligarchs were the one who did it (Though since Takamori was marching with a force to Edo it might explain why the emperor did it)

I wonder how do you trigger the narration in the Historical Battle menu?
Tell me the download site for downloading fall of samurai game for shogun..
kinda feel sad for togukawa clan
I don’t know they weren’t progressives they were the equivalent of ultra conservatives of today
I don't. Fuck em. Treacherous backstabbing snakes.

Alternate history... What if iemitsu did not close the borders and tried his hand to go abroad to trade? European knights meeting samurai!
I doubt it. By the time of Iemitsu, European Knights would have died out (despite the existence of a handful of knightly orders). The Age of the European Knight ended due to the beginnings of firearms, the use of mercenaries, and the development of more professional armies.
Pretty much the same, but slower technology advances
More civil wars maybe? The video said the outsiders being rich through foreign trade is dangerous for stability, and I think I've heard similar things going on with Date clan
By that time there were no Knights, just Nobles and Aristocratic generals. By that time Winged Hussars were getting kinda popular...
