They should make an Assasin's Creed set in feudal Japan.
Chad Falardeau been wanting to see that happen for years!
They did one in China on 360/ps3 but I would pay to see one in Japan
Chad Falardeau dam right. You should get paid. For that idea.
Jesus i would fucking love that it would be cool if some ninja clan are actually part of the assassin order and i wanna see Hattori Hanzo Fuma Kotaro Momochi Sandayu and the robin hood of Feudal Japan Ishikawa Goemon and some popular kunoichi like Michozuke and Okatsu in the assassin order and meet some other known samurai and Daimyo like Date Masamune Oda Nobunaga Ieyasu Tokugawa Etc.. i would play AC again if they set it in the sengoku era of japan
Lovecraftian Outer God not a bad time period
I love the idea of two of the greatest ninjas being rivals!
Play world hero's its a throwback game but it has both hanzo and fuma in it
Madara Uchiha Vs. Hashirama Senju
It's amazing that Hanzo wasn't originally a ninja, he was a samurai and military guy. :D
@@apocalypse487 🤣🤣🤣
@@apocalypse487 this isn’t naruto.....🤦🏾♂️
Damn, i never realized his samurai warriors version was pretty accurate, i figured the scary face was probably true, the incredibly deep voice and 7 ft tall frame i honestly thought was them being creative, cool
*Hanzo Hattori Disliked This Video.*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The most ancient of beefs
@@LilJ3090 aged beef is big in Japan, so...
Cao Ang they were Opps 😂💀👹⚔️
thats sad, it doesn't count dislikes.
My favourite thing in this video was the power structure of the ninjas with the pickpockets and the lockpickers and their guerilla warfare tactics.
The Fuma Shuriken has been often used in fiction and is almost always depicted as oversized shuriken. It was named after him. Also called a demon shuriken sometimes
I’m from Japan. If you say
“2 famous iconic ninjas “
It’s Hattori Hanzo & Sarutobi Sasuke
(Sasuke is known half fiction)
And 2 biggest rivalry country was
Iga vs Kouga
Both places still exists in Mie prefecture
There was a Japanese TV show from the 1960's called The Samurai. It was the story of the samurai Shintaro who was a spy for the Emperor. He had a ninja sidekick called Tombai the Mist, of the Iga Ninja. Together they battled and foiled the cunning plans of the Fuma Ninja including old mate Kotaro. The TV series was only sold outside Japan to Guam (a large Japanese population) and Australia (almost ZERO Japanese population). I watched it as kid, bought the chewing gum trading cards and even made star knives in metal work.
Kotaro Fuma vs Hanzo Hattori
_Top ten anime rivalries_
Haha, i meet u again in a kotaro fuma video
Mahboi
Sub-zero vs Scorpion
Would love to see a Ninja Scroll come to the big screen.
Said the same thing after seeing ghost in the shell
Love your content makes me love japanese history even more , even the historic anime like all the sengoku basaras. I would like you to do one with Sanada Yukimura and the vagabond Maeda Toshimasu/Keiji
Love these! They remind me of Samurai Warriors.
Both characters are in world hero's game
Can you tell us about Sanada Yukimura?
Fun fact, their moves are not as flashy as you'd expect but it's subtly effective and truly mortifying.
Fuma reminds me of the Fomoreans of Celtic Irish legends.
Excellent video please do a video on Muneharu Shimizu.
Why haven't they made an anime of this guy yet?
This is very informative and concise. I would like to see you do a video on the Cuckoos who fought in the Finnish army in the Talvi Sota and in WWII. I think that they are the closest thing that Europe has had to ninjas.
1603 Fuma Ryu became in charge of the Sanada Clan.The Sanada clan was a samurai clan that was famous for employing guerilla tactics and "beating the odds" through unconventional thinking (senpo, ninpo, etc.). Ninja were known to have been employed at Osaka castle, and fought in the Winter and Summer Campaigns. 2-3 of the 10 famous warriors under Sanada Yukimura are recorded in legend as famous ninja.
There may or may not have ever been a specific "Sanada ryu" of ninjutsu, but the fact is, ninja lore is associated to some degree with the Sanada clan in Japanese history texts, and the clan did exist, and did spawn a number of martial ryu-ha.
The Sanada clan was a very famous, and very important clan in Sengoku period military history.
Mother's a human father's a demon and his name Kazama does anyone else see a Tekken reference here :)
exactly
La blue girl 😂 that ninja was nin nin
I believe tekken was referencing this guy seeing as he was a real person in history. They took his legend and embellished it.
I was thinking of Jin Kazama from Tekken because his mom, Jun was human while his dad, Katsuya had demon powers.
What I see is the other way around that there's kotaro fuma reference in the tekken series
i've been binge watching your history videos and thank you so much man for keeping them unbiased and correct :)
Awesome video I love these Ninja ones!! Be good to see u put Sandayu Momochi into this mix as he fits in with the story of Hanzo and Fuma Kotaro
Great video mate. Did you also made a video about Hanzo Hattori? If not this would be a great idea 👍
Being a trained ninja myself I can say, I never heard about the Oni
Ninja until now.
How? He's one of the most famous Ninja's of all time by far and has appeared in numerous video games, shows etc.
If you are a trained ninja then I'm Crip Gang Leader Stanley Tookie Williams.
@@JesusChrist2000BC then ig thats what you are, also a fake jesus i see💀 but hello anyway
@Lindy T Lol, you never know what ppl are dont forget this is just internet, i could sneak to where u located and do lords know what without you finding out
To add to third, also theres another dude thats in japan and ppl know he us a ninja so therefore rn your statement is just as irrelevant as the person that liked your comment lol
Can you do a video on the Koga and the Yomaguchi ninja clans
Is there a Miyamoto Musashi video in the works? Please say yes haha
Kazama became the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu...woops, wrong story.
kirby march barcena you just frame punished these kids
@@thedandynandy ?
kirby march barcena Well, Kazama had a demon father, soooo....
Great vid!! Sasaki Kojiro would be a good warrior to cover.
Yes please, I'd like to know more about him before his dual with Musashi.
Blu Soul he was never actually a actual person musashi just made him up so his legend would spread more
@@troxxlbeat890 Not that i dont respect ur statement but there are actual records of Kojiro. Do u have any proof of this?
@@blu3510 Not exactly records, I'd call it a legend. Just hearing of the story seems very contrived compared to the rest of the surrounding lore. I can only speculate but it seemed more like a way to build his legend further by a group of people and/or to make the transition to doing only non-lethal duels go much smoother. "Huh? The supposed unbeatable and most famous swordsman went from doing lethal duels to non-lethal for no reason? Is he a big fake? Is he scared now?" and the doubts, rumors, and speculations would continue. They very well could have made a man into Sasaki and built up his fame with rigged duels/events/rumors...just for the benefit of another. Situations like that have been going on for a verrryy long time and will continue to.
I always thought Gator Hanzo was Ryu's Father. The once man turned oni by ikokuyen. An ancient necromancer if you will. A Kappa.
I have the same music in my "relaxing ambience" playlist!!!
The Fuma clan is said to have come from Abroad many centuries ago. They were different from other Ninja clans such as Koga, Iga in that they used explosives extensively, probably due to their root.
these slideshows always give me a good giggle. imagine how boring it would be if we had accurate pictures of the topic
This one's a hard one, but I'd been trying to look up info about Nagato Fujibayashi.
From SLBP app game, I love Fuma Kotaro. My #1 shinobi.
I did like it though because it spoke of Kotaro Fuma.
I like Kotaro Fuma Kazama. He is the type of guy who can get the job done with style and my favorite part of the story is that he made Tokugawa Ieyasu lose his righthand man Hanzo. I think he's real and his descendants maybe alive and well.
The kanji for his name (風魔), 風 reads both Fuu and Kaze. So, you can say his name in both ways - Fuuma and Kazama. They means the same one. So pick one you like.
The bibble is bullcrap, cause it as well be a god trying to erase any other god other than himself and labeling them demons or his creations. I mean why do you think so many religions where around in ancient times? Oh and before you go oh but people converted in mass cause of stupid stuff. I mean confront the old religions where to have a good place in the afterlife you had to be important or have worked your ass off vs the Christian ass pull off omg he is gonna accept us all in heaven if we believe. Yeah rights sound like bullshit to me. And bye the way an o I isnt an angel
You should do a video on Sanada Yukimura
They should make a movie portraying both kotaro Kazama and Hanzo hattori
Nice graphics!
I definitely think you need to do a Yukimura Sanada Video ESPECIALLY since you do such a good job keep up the good work👍
Any chance you could cover the Sanada? Masayuki himself is an interesting read and his kids, especially Yukimura/Nobushige have equally interesting stories.
As a Man who Loves Assassin Work. Loved Your Video!
Do one on Musashi
Fun fact if you ever played FF7 Cloud and Sephiroth are Musashi and Kojiro according to an interview
Been binging this and playing total war shogun 2 love your channel !
Do sanada yukimura
Great Video
Interestingly, this kanji, “風間” can be read as both “Kazama” and “Fuma”
kazama kotarou????? that sounds good to me
We need some Chinese warriors in some videos in the future. Keep making awesome video!
Yes, I'll probably do a Chinese History Explained series. There's a lot to cover there.
Agreed...thats a great idea
Ninjas can be considered Chinese.
Not if it means less japanese videos. Heres chinese history; chinese take anything japanese make and make it very poorly and sell it as japanese. Everything china makes is rubbish.
@@thelegendsofhistory please dont make less japanese videos though. They are really good, well done
I need the thumbnail as a wallpaper but can’t find it on those sites
There is an one living legend I realy eould like you to look at and if you think ad same as I do, I think a story about Dr Masaki Hatsumi would be awsome. btw, Dr Masaki Hatsumi is The only living grandmaster in morden ninjutsu in Japan.
I think his name is Masaaki Hatsumi (初見良昭).
I hope in the future there are stories of Special Ops being part Cyborg XD
Hanzo VS Kazama it's
David VS Goliath of fudel Japan.
Now to make the battlefield trully bleed! - Fuma Kotaro
Well that would explain his appearance in Samurai Warriors. Also I think Sogetsu and Kazuki from Samurai Showdown may come from a clan that's descended from him.
I really like the art work... would make great posters
This would be an epic movie or game to play
Why there are no pictures from Samurai Warriors 🤔
Hanzo and Kazama????
It's gonna be legen...(wait for it)...dary!
You live in iran right?
Where are you from?
That was great really cool 😎.❤️✅👌🏿👍🏿😎
I admire his skill for leaving no witnesses and no evidence behind whatsoever.😢😮
I can't hear "Fuuma Kotaro" without thinking of the character that was based off of him from World Heroes
That's all I'm talking about on here glad someone else remembers and hanzo is in the game as well and fuma was my go to character
Sounds like a perfect plot for Assassin's Creed
Can or have you done one on Miyamoto Musashi? If you have please link it as a reply. If not can you please make a video on him?
Plz do Kenji the warrior with no leader
Literally the coolest shit I’ve ever seen
well one of them is probably still alive to this day.... having oni blood line makes you live longer..
Having weaboo blood makes you die a virgin!
@@kyokushinavocadosoup3595 indeed
Sweet Vid 😄 Ninja's are so cool 👍😎 didn't some female Ninja's use there feminine wiles to get to there target's?
Yes they did
Heidi Bevan yes they do. And it’s a real fact. And it is in history.
@@michaelbowles4757
Isn't history fascinating? I already knew the answer was "yes" 😊👍
Yes indeed sex was always a strong part of the konoichi s wepond set to get the male target or spy him
@Lazy Veteran you realize that ninja were originally the people fighting against the samurai using nontraditional weapons. They were Farmers merchants actors ect... The were trained from am early age in stealth and info gathering. Rarely did samurai become ninja, as their tactics were considered cowardly by samurai. Konoichi were a big part of info gathering. Often times working as geisha or concubines to be close to sensitive personnel. People who would open themselves to who they thought of as just a weak woman.
Not that bad not that bad at all
Imma be hoping to see more Videos
Many of the clans did keep records to some degree. What really makes the ninja hard to trace is that unlike other a client groups they still exist. Ww2 Japan offically recruited clan heads and put them in charge of creating an espionage group for Japan. Which other world powers had, but Japan did not, outside the ninja tradition so they brought the ninja into the government. They did very well too!
I can only recommend training Ninjutsu.
are there any records left of how their organisation worked and how they trained? considering how many things they were supposed to be able to master it seems to me that they must have done a lot of different types of exercises.
The winds of chaos shall sweep the battlefield.
0:53 Kanto? POKEMON!!
I think Japanese animation as made this man's description a number of times
Do a story on Yamato takeru legendary ninja
Any chance we'll be seeing a video on Yukimura/Nobushige Sanada?
U should do videos on the Romance of the three kingdoms (Chinese history)
video about Abe no seimei please
Why can’t people just call them shinobi
Not everyone is a weeb
Name Name Shinobi is a ninja in Japan you duck
Because who cares
@@doughman9776 I think that was his point.
God I know people are so dumb
Tomoe Gozen would be great !
Now we need takatsu Honda
Fuma Kotaro is my fav character is the most underrated game SENGOKU BASARA!
There is nothing more interesting then a group of people with the capability of making another army destroy its self.
If a Ninja is famous, does that make him a good ninja or a bad ninja???
Dzii if they got the job done, I'll take it as a good thing in my opinion idk though
Thank you for branching out from the biblical. I do like them. The Solomon one was particularly good. But I like all history. Romans, Aztecs, Greeks, Hinduism.... I mean whatever. History to me is fun to know. Especially since we are basically only on the cliff notes anyways. Reading the best parts. Never them waking up and having to take a shit really bad. Lol
Wait did Fuma get decapitated or is that not true? I heard that Fuma got decapitated some reason so I would like to know if it's true or not please.
What's really interesting is that people look like each other and you probably seen people that look just like him and you would never know it in a million years
So Fuma was MK Scorpion and Hanzo was Sub Zero. Or was it the other way around hmmmmm
Nah you got it right, scorpions a badass till Mr freeze comes around and runs his fun
@Demarcus Perkins Actually I don't think it was either. I'm pretty sure the Mortal K people didn't know anything about actual shinobi (or Eastern culture in general as implied by the lack of martial arts in the first few games and Raiden yelling gibberish for a special move) and just made Sub-Zero a member of Lin Kuei after the fact.
Fuma and Hanzo were characters on "World Heroes" on the NeoGeo Arcade machine. Man I used to love that game...
Its the other way around but fuma is the dead sub zero aka noob
WORLD HEROES FUMA
Does anyone know where to find records on ninja missions?
What if it was all true and there are samurai demons who look like humans walking among society, if they were indeed oni then they might still be alive...
Having worked w actual modern ninja, they still use some of the oldies but goodies tricks. When you deal w executive protection, industrial and commercial security and many modern security and intelligence fields, all the old skills and abilities are used in adaptive ways. You won't see them market themselves as ninja today, too much baggage w that, too much movie and tv stuff, but 'security consultants' and related terms. While modern tech is used often, sometimes the old smoke & mirrors, fire and confusion still work, just in dif ways. The same firm may advertise under var DBAs when working w aspects of the US gov, billing becomes less traceable when the DBA rotates and noone knows who's who thru a series of DBAs, shell companies that offer 'security guards' but always have 'enough customers'. Deception, distraction, only now it's thru paper trails and the electronic equiv. When someone maybe scanning cell phones w fancy stuff, go basic w code names and etc and use CB radio, chs 35 thru 40 are rarely used, keep it to code words, keep it short and anyone who is listening by chance won't have a clue what you're saying.
Tell me more.
So cool !
I feel like some of these characters are simply ancient Japan's version of the boogie man. Just tails handed down through time to stop kids from being little turds.
Maybe or maybe its just clansmen n peasants giving fictional identities to ppl that Killed important japanese figures so it dont seem like they died to someone weaker
But i like to think its some Historical validity to these tales with how they were recorded
So Fuma was real. I've seen him and Hanzo in World Heroes video game. Hanzo and Fuuma.
I’m all for ninja Dante with being half-demon.
My fav vid BY FAR.... i mean FU*K This was intersting AF!
He was in Onimusha 2 Samurai’s Destiny as well.
whats the music the link wont work
Baki's story basically, just without the dead mom
7ft ninja is not stealth at all
What's the exact spelling of the 'hojodaiki'(?) that was referenced in going over Kotaro's birth?
