The recap format is so interesting because we cut straight to the essence of what the film wanted to be in its early stages. Like whatever it is scripted as, it appears as here. For better, and for worse, we cut the fat out. You can't really get a sense as to the artistic balance of the film when it's condensed like this, but you definitely get a sort of fair treatment of the message. Having done almost 300 of these now, I find it really intriguing seeing certain patterns emerge.
@@DeepDarkBoys hey, tell the script writers that they’re getting it wrong, you’re always saying 18th century and 19th century when it’s the 1800’s and 1900’s. Centuries are different than 00’s

In history, Takechi achieved seppuku in "三文字(sanmonji, the character of three) " style that no samurais had ever achieved. He cut his stomach three times like "三". He was not coward. And he left his last poem before he comitted the bravest seppuku. "It is ephemeral that the time is never returned, but now I never feel missing it"

That ending reminds me of: "Dear Marty, If my calculations are correct, you will receive this letter immediately after you saw the DeLorean struck by lightning.

Another film about a samurai who travels forward to the modern day is "Chonmage Purin". It hits a lot of similar notes, but also takes some parts in a different direction, and has a slightly more upbeat ending.
Another good watch from Mystery Recapped. My only criticism is your interpretation of suicide in the film. Seppuku, or ritual suicide, was done to restore or preserve honor - it was not a cowardly thing at all. In fact, I'd say it was quite the opposite. Imagine the courage needed to die by stabbing yourself in the gut. Anyway, despite his crime, the character was able to restore his family's honor by dying this way. If he died well, without screaming and crying, it was even more honorable.
Is that the same kind of suicide which we saw in The Wolverine (2013) where the Japanese officers stabbed themselves right before the nuclear bomb dropped
@@Anonymous-ek2rh Well that's what it is in the past for most japanese samurai although I do agree that it is ridiculous and not honorable to kill yourself.
@@Anonymous-ek2rh it’s all circumstantial. Seppuku is the alternative to getting executed; the reason it’s considered honorable to commit it is that a samurai would go while enduring great pain, rather than going swiftly. It’s a matter of pride via endurance, and is definitely not something that should be considered irrational by modern standards and morals. I get what you’re saying and that suicide isn’t never correct, but there’s circumstances for everything.
@@Anonymous-ek2rh It’s not that simple. To claim so detaches from reality, human history, progression and evolution of societies. “Fighting to the end” We can look at soldiers who went on suicide missions or were the last man of their unit, who then proceeds to continue fighting, killing dozens of enemies. You don’t just label them as someone whose killing for the sake of killing, even though that’s how they would be viewed by the enemy. Or when they surrender, did they just give up? Often the situation, build up, or a certain amount of leeway is given. Life is something that’s extremely valuable. Seppuku was often used as a way to face up to errors, to be responsible, display that society’s agreements are held up and respected by the individual. Some may use it as an escape. But throughout civilizations it’s been an honorable thing, when an individual gives themselves for a greater cause. Be it through sacrifice. It’s all about perception, values, ideals & standards. Many view, continuing on to be the weak way to go, as individuals continue to hurt, disregard, devalue, destroy others rather than facing consequences. Even societies with “in the next life” beliefs value life to be one of the most important things, so much so organ donation is feared as it’s a thought “so in the next life I won’t have this” and with gut slicing it’s giving away what makes humans human. ( Depending on the era & region ). So it’s a fate far far far worse than just dying. But then there are those who do it out of fear, desire to end torment or pain, or to escape too I’m sure. But like JC and other abrahamic figures their sacrifices and decision to give them self for others is highly valued too, commended and praised by countless, so much so for all of its faults it has helped countless to be just a bit better, to do more good too. It just seems like an awfully large brush to say something that’s ingrained in human history to label countless the same way. When they chose to give the one thing that’s never be given back, something that scares so many they’ll do insane things to avoid it, something that creatures spend their entire existence avoiding. People are so different, free will & morality evolves and develops just as evolution does. Honor is a man made term, so there are so too many variables to paint it. Without a doubt it should be avoided, find ways to continue, to make amends. But keeping it as a topic that’s near impossible to discuss doesn’t seem helpful.
Just saying, a big part of why I love Mystery Recapped is the narrator Adam. The choice of movies is also a big part. But, compared to the other recapped channels, this is the only one I watch with any regularity. Should Mystery Recapped and Adam stop working together, they'd have to choose the next narrator carefully.

Katsurahama is in Kouchi; I lived there for some months and was really nostalgic seeing the samurai statue; on Kouchi station, there are 3 of those statues of the 3 greatest samurai of the region. It is a really cool place to visit in japan; sad that most people just go to Tokyo.
"let's face it these kids have iPads. He probably doesn't have much to offer." What?!? The gems of knowledge and morals he has to give, are way better than anything an ipad will offer those kids.
But the same knowledge can be said or read through the same ipad if used correctly. Though yes he has experience and wiseness, the same can be said with the people who give the information through the iPad. Let's face it, the kids are most likely more knowledgeable than the samurai, because they are aware of such things that the samurais back in the day weren't. But at the same time not wiser than the samurai.
If he's imprisoned in 1863 it's actually not the 18th century, it would be the 19th century also known as 1801-1900. The 18th century is 1701-1800, so it wouldn't make sense. Still a great video though!! Much love
@@BRUH-lx3jv To quickly explain it, when Jesus was born the clock reset (this happened in the year 0) and so the 1st century also begun. A century stands for 100 years, so 100 years from the year 0 is the year 100, here the 2nd century begins aka the second set of 100 years. 18 centuries from the year 0 is the year 1800, after which the 19th century begins. Hope this explains it a bit.
yes it is correct but i always found this to be so stupid. I mean for me the 18th century clearly is 1800-1900 ... It's like saying february is actually the third month of the year 🤔
There was another Japanese movie I watched last year, "A Boy and His Samurai" (Chonmage Pudding). It was also about a samurai time-traveled to modern day. Pretty amusing as well.
Japanese time travel story are always really good, because I feel like the general populace there has a deeper knowledge of their country's history, so things can be more detailed and varied.
If you are interested, try Dr. Jin. Difference is when Jin time travelled, he ended up in a paradox situation. For example, season 1 started out with Present Day Jin and the other guy Jin in a Edo Period Outfit was found in the park injured. Present Day Jin is a doctor and the other Jin was an Edo Period guy in a samarai outfit became his patient. That patient steals the equipment and attempts to escape Dr. Jin but then Dr. Jin fell off the stairs and he traveled back in Edo Period. He had to go through trials living in Edo Period operating on people. Then in Season 2, last patient he attempts to save was no other then Saki. The guy who can guide him while being dead is no other then Ryoma Sakamoto. So long story short, when he is killed in Edo Period, he went back to a Present Day where he was injured in a present day and got sent to the hospital. When he was left alone, he steals the equipment in an attempt to go back to Edo Period. He was stopped by the Present Day Dr. Jin and for that Present Day Jin fell off the stairs. These examples shows that when other Edo Period Samarai's time travel, they go through paradox. But when the prisoner in this recap story time travels in the future, he does not get stuck in a time loop meeting his counterpart.
Surprisingly I really enjoyed this film, with an ending with a twist. This is a low budget gem that went under the radar. This film will find a allowing in times to come.
Sounds like a great concept for movies, and it could be used in multiple countries and cultures. I wonder what a historically accurate medieval knight would think of modern day Europe.
I once read a book about a Roman gladiator more or less suspended in time through accidentally being cryogenically frozen. Brought up some interesting points about language, culture, lifestyles, etc. So yes, this type of scenario is quite adaptable to many cultures and civilizations.
@@dsides1341 I do know if you brought an early imperial era Roman to modern day they'd find it both funny and strange how we wear trousers, only Germanic barbarians wore leg coverings like that, so they were a source of ridicule for the Romans
One curious thing to note is that in reality, the locals would be unable to comprehend Hanpeita's old dialect of Japanese (Edo era), having studied words and phrases and comparing them to Modern Japanese, many words are not mutually intelligible so they would understand little to nothing of what he would be saying and he would find himself frustrated and dealing with a lot of misunderstandings.
@@kobisjeruk Indeed, many people think it would be awesome to meet someone from times past, I know I used to until I started studying some of the old languages, once I saw how different each was then it just seemed a bummer because you wouldn't understand them at all. For instance, I saw a video where a guy tried speaking Latin to Italians and they thought he was crazy, contrary to popular belief many cultures can't understand let alone speak their ancestral tongues.
@@jamesrocket5616 Yeah, I was very surprised, what's funny is that a few words from Latin have survived and were incorporated into Modern Italian but everything else is just strange to them. In another instance I saw, Greeks can actually understand Ancient Greek with some study, it seems that they're some of the few whose old dialects are still very intelligible.
I can’t really comprehend how a language can change that much in 150 or so years. Like I can most certainly understand the lyrics to Dixieland or read Moby Dick.
I especially like the end of how he was supposed to die and be known as a coward but knowing how he would actually be remembered he was happy with his death. Something he wouldn't have gotten the chance to feel if not for that chance.
When my parents bought a VCR in the '80s, one of the first tapes we ever rented was "Swordkill." It was about a samurai who accidently got frozen in ice when he fell into a frozen lake, and got thawed in modern times, just like Captain America.
I suffer from a very short attention span. It's almost impossible to watch an entire movie so these movie recaps are perfect. Let's me watch the whole movie in 15 minutes. Explained perfectly and it was an epic movie. Thank you so much for your content.! 😃
@@somestormcloakwithanarrowo4671 Not an actual ninja mind you but their descendants. Ninja's as a whole is fading into obscurity with the existence of guns in 19th century. They maybe taking some jobs here and there but overall their whole works is almost completely gone at that era. Most ninja descendants that is exist at the time of war is either joined with government Intelligence division or lay low until the war is over. Also ninja in Samurai's eyes is a coward and a traitor towards the land.
@@somestormcloakwithanarrowo4671 Their cultures maybe can be reformed as Martial arts and etc, but the actual ninja? They better off gone. The Yakuza or other crime organizations is already problems in Japan, they didn't need another one. Even Japanese people themselves like to romanticize both the Samurai and Ninja while the truth is both of them are mercenary with one of them being employed by the local warlord & thus "legal" while the other just do it like they wanted and the warlord have no use for unloyal mercs unless completely necessary. The Bushido or The Samurai Code while sounds and looks honorable was actually bunch of bs like The Codes of Chivalry of The Knights (Knights was actually just bunch of greedy nobles that is fighting for fame & power). The codes was just their own way to "justify" their own doings. Samurai or Knights that is actually following "The True Path" is actually very rare and were the exceptions.
I'm glad Takeshi met good people in the future, learned his buddy is there too and striving in Tokyo, meets a nice family and in return they got an inheritance. He also kept his honor and is respected, which in today's culture is hard to come by...
In Samurai times if you committed a crime like assassination or something and when the law makes you commit the unthinkable it's actually called going out with honor in Samurai times almost everydeath is going out with honor
@@samuraijackoff5354 well he killed a lot for new era for his clan but Shokun didn't like what he done because he also killed his advisor so the guy go out like a chad did harakiri three time without someone to cut his head off to show his resolved for all he did was for the clan. the irony after that the guy who order to killed him has to join force with Ryoma to overthrown era of Shokun like Takechi want to do
His final letter before his death reminds me of Mi Ultimo Adios(my last farewell) Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed, Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost, With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed; And were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best, I would still give it to you for your welfare at most. On the fields of battle, in the fury of fight, Others give you their lives without pain or hesitancy, The place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white, Scaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site, It is the same if asked by home and Country. I die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to show And at last announce the day, after a gloomy night; If you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow, Pour my blood and at the right moment spread it so, And gild it with a reflection of your nascent light! My dreams, when scarcely a lad adolescent, My dreams when already a youth, full of vigor to attain, Were to see you, gem of the sea of the Orient, Your dark eyes dry, smooth brow held to a high plane Without frown, without wrinkles and of shame without stain. My life's fancy, my ardent, passionate desire, Hail! Cries out the soul to you, that will soon part from thee; Hail! How sweet 'tis to fall that fullness you may acquire; To die to give you life, 'neath your skies to expire, And in your mystic land to sleep through eternity ! If over my tomb some day, you would see blow, A simple humble flow'r amidst thick grasses, Bring it up to your lips and kiss my soul so, And under the cold tomb, I may feel on my brow, Warmth of your breath, a whiff of your tenderness. Let the moon with soft, gentle light me descry, Let the dawn send forth its fleeting, brilliant light, In murmurs grave allow the wind to sigh, And should a bird descend on my cross and alight, Let the bird intone a song of peace o'er my site. Let the burning sun the raindrops vaporize And with my clamor behind return pure to the sky; Let a friend shed tears over my early demise; And on quiet afternoons when one prays for me on high, Pray too, oh, my Motherland, that in God may rest I. Pray thee for all the hapless who have died, For all those who unequalled torments have undergone; For our poor mothers who in bitterness have cried; For orphans, widows and captives to tortures were shied, And pray too that you may see you own redemption. And when the dark night wraps the cemet'ry And only the dead to vigil there are left alone, Don't disturb their repose, don't disturb the mystery: If you hear the sounds of cithern or psaltery, It is I, dear Country, who, a song t'you intone. And when my grave by all is no more remembered, With neither cross nor stone to mark its place, Let it be plowed by man, with spade let it be scattered And my ashes ere to nothingness are restored, Let them turn to dust to cover your earthly space. Then it doesn't matter that you should forget me: Your atmosphere, your skies, your vales I'll sweep; Vibrant and clear note to your ears I shall be: Aroma, light, hues, murmur, song, moanings deep, Constantly repeating the essence of the faith I keep. My idolized Country, for whom I most gravely pine, Dear Philippines, to my last goodbye, oh, harken There I leave all: my parents, loves of mine, I'll go where there are no slaves, tyrants or hangmen Where faith does not kill and where God alone does reign. Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me, Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed; Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day; Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my way; Farewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.
That sounded like a real good movie. Just when you think they have used up every conceivable concept of the time travel story along comes a movie with an entirely new and interesting concept.
My history teacher told us that what would impress a person from a previous era would simply be to bring them to a supermarket, the availability of so much food would impress him more than anything
And then to a clothing store. So many clothes, cheap and abundant, in a wide variety of fashions. I mean, quality clothing used to be something a royal or noble would bequeath to visitors.
This was an excellent movie that I saw sometime ago. I would contradict one statement you made at the end. Seppuku was an honored death of a Samurai. It was no way a coward‘s ending.
I saw an older version of a movie like this, "Ghost Warrior" I think it was called. Same premise but with one huge difference. The samurai wakes up and finds himself in modern day America in Los Angeles
this japanese film is really wholesome and heartbreaking. I also want to see Ryoma's life aftermath. He really likes being in our world where there is peace. Makes me wonder how the hell it became that peaceful after that long history of war and politics? (I know we are still quite far from total peace but hey it is better than being slaves in Ancient Egypt or Church abusing their powers)
I really appreciate you doing these recaps on Foreign movies I might never have heard of. Even though I know the story goes because your recaps, it makes me want to watch them anyway. Keep it up man.
Even the world's most successful individuals have experienced their fair share of setbacks and hardships. There's much to learn from their challenges as well as their success. Luckily, they've condensed their wisdom into meaningful quotes that you can store for later use. ❤️ Wishing you more success brother ❤️

Katsurahama is in Kouchi; I lived there for some months and was really nostalgic seeing the samurai statue; on Kouchi station, there are 3 of those statues of the 3 greatest samurai of the region. It is a really cool place to visit in japan; sad that most people just go to Tokyo.
Thanks, found this on Amazon and went to watch it after watching your youtube video on it. I enjoyed it allot.
i really love this genre where people from the past enter today's world, its such a niche and unknown genre but so interesting!
yes! I always thought about the smartest of the ancient times visiting our world. they would be surprised! like leonardo da vinci
It's called Isekai

@DURGA PRASAD M S Look who's back has a similar plot but the person that got time traveled is hitler lmao
Watch Highlander the TV series. There's a whole series of that very genre.
"let's face it these kids have iPads. He probably doesn't have much to offer." What?!? The gems of knowledge and morals he has to give, are way better than anything an ipad will offer those kids.
i mean maybe the kids watched movie recap on youtube where a character said its important for people to stick together 🤷♀️
In a few classes? Doubtful. You need much more time to teach those.
But the same knowledge can be said or read through the same ipad if used correctly.
Though yes he has experience and wiseness, the same can be said with the people who give the information through the iPad.
Let's face it, the kids are most likely more knowledgeable than the samurai, because they are aware of such things that the samurais back in the day weren't. But at the same time not wiser than the samurai.
Plus "morals" of people in the past weren't as beautiful as people want to think @@Disanem
If he's imprisoned in 1863 it's actually not the 18th century, it would be the 19th century also known as 1801-1900. The 18th century is 1701-1800, so it wouldn't make sense.
Still a great video though!! Much love
That's pretty confusing tho ngl. (I dont even know that's how it works)
@@BRUH-lx3jv To quickly explain it, when Jesus was born the clock reset (this happened in the year 0) and so the 1st century also begun. A century stands for 100 years, so 100 years from the year 0 is the year 100, here the 2nd century begins aka the second set of 100 years. 18 centuries from the year 0 is the year 1800, after which the 19th century begins. Hope this explains it a bit.
Something I learned in history recently it's hard to forget😅
@@atomicchief6408 Oh ok thx and also that explains why we're in the 21st century even though the year is 2022.
yes it is correct but i always found this to be so stupid. I mean for me the 18th century clearly is 1800-1900 ... It's like saying february is actually the third month of the year 🤔
The grounded samurai Jack story we didn't know we needed👏🏽😭😊
Seppuku is not "the unthinkable" it was done to preserve one's honor. It was not a cowardly thing at all
There was another Japanese movie I watched last year, "A Boy and His Samurai" (Chonmage Pudding). It was also about a samurai time-traveled to modern day. Pretty amusing as well.
8:37 THAT SAVAGE JOKE XD (lets be honest this is why mystery recapped is amazing)
Japanese time travel story are always really good, because I feel like the general populace there has a deeper knowledge of their country's history, so things can be more detailed and varied.
If you are interested, try Dr. Jin. Difference is when Jin time travelled, he ended up in a paradox situation. For example, season 1 started out with Present Day Jin and the other guy Jin in a Edo Period Outfit was found in the park injured. Present Day Jin is a doctor and the other Jin was an Edo Period guy in a samarai outfit became his patient. That patient steals the equipment and attempts to escape Dr. Jin but then Dr. Jin fell off the stairs and he traveled back in Edo Period. He had to go through trials living in Edo Period operating on people. Then in Season 2, last patient he attempts to save was no other then Saki. The guy who can guide him while being dead is no other then Ryoma Sakamoto. So long story short, when he is killed in Edo Period, he went back to a Present Day where he was injured in a present day and got sent to the hospital. When he was left alone, he steals the equipment in an attempt to go back to Edo Period. He was stopped by the Present Day Dr. Jin and for that Present Day Jin fell off the stairs.
These examples shows that when other Edo Period Samarai's time travel, they go through paradox. But when the prisoner in this recap story time travels in the future, he does not get stuck in a time loop meeting his counterpart.
Japanese movies are really underrated, I watch them all the time they always surprises me
Where to watch more ??
As someone who is intrigued by Japanese history & culture I watched this vid 2 times then watched the movie! Thank you so much
Where do you find this movie
Yea i want to know too where i can watch this movie

Surprisingly I really enjoyed this film, with an ending with a twist.
This is a low budget gem that went under the radar.
This film will find a allowing in times to come.
Where did you watch it? can't find it anywhere
I am pleased that someone can still tell a good story. Thank you
Sounds like a great concept for movies, and it could be used in multiple countries and cultures.
I wonder what a historically accurate medieval knight would think of modern day Europe.
Watch Highlander the TV series.
I once read a book about a Roman gladiator more or less suspended in time through accidentally being cryogenically frozen. Brought up some interesting points about language, culture, lifestyles, etc.
So yes, this type of scenario is quite adaptable to many cultures and civilizations.
Poor thing would be so confused lmao

@@dsides1341 I do know if you brought an early imperial era Roman to modern day they'd find it both funny and strange how we wear trousers, only Germanic barbarians wore leg coverings like that, so they were a source of ridicule for the Romans

This recap was excellent! It makes me wanna go back and watch the Samurai Champloo series.
One curious thing to note is that in reality, the locals would be unable to comprehend Hanpeita's old dialect of Japanese (Edo era), having studied words and phrases and comparing them to Modern Japanese, many words are not mutually intelligible so they would understand little to nothing of what he would be saying and he would find himself frustrated and dealing with a lot of misunderstandings.
Kinda like Old English sounds nothing like modern age English as we know it.
@@kobisjeruk Indeed, many people think it would be awesome to meet someone from times past, I know I used to until I started studying some of the old languages, once I saw how different each was then it just seemed a bummer because you wouldn't understand them at all. For instance, I saw a video where a guy tried speaking Latin to Italians and they thought he was crazy, contrary to popular belief many cultures can't understand let alone speak their ancestral tongues.
@Seth Guest Oddly enough, I've seen the video you were describing before watching this one
@@jamesrocket5616 Yeah, I was very surprised, what's funny is that a few words from Latin have survived and were incorporated into Modern Italian but everything else is just strange to them. In another instance I saw, Greeks can actually understand Ancient Greek with some study, it seems that they're some of the few whose old dialects are still very intelligible.
I can’t really comprehend how a language can change that much in 150 or so years. Like I can most certainly understand the lyrics to Dixieland or read Moby Dick.
JEsus, to have a heartwarming family movie end with the protagonist performing seppuku is... quite the twist....
This movie was amazing! I watched it for the first time and I learnt many lessons from a Samurai

Nice one for this movie.
Samurai is really a legacy from Japan.
It was a great movie. What I usually do with these recap vids is that I watch the first minute, and if I like the plot, I watch the whole movie.
I especially like the end of how he was supposed to die and be known as a coward but knowing how he would actually be remembered he was happy with his death. Something he wouldn't have gotten the chance to feel if not for that chance.
Mystery recap never fails to entertain my depression
Urgh same
The movie is based in the city my mom is from! So cool to see a movie with these two famous Samurai from Kochi!
Samurai? I guess it's not our city of Kochi in south India then... unless you mean motorbikes made by Suzuki
When my parents bought a VCR in the '80s, one of the first tapes we ever rented was "Swordkill."
It was about a samurai who accidently got frozen in ice when he fell into a frozen lake, and got thawed in modern times, just like Captain America.
The Samurai Jack netflix adaption looks good so far
I always love movies where people from the past come to our modern era and seeing them very curious about modern technology
I suffer from a very short attention span. It's almost impossible to watch an entire movie so these movie recaps are perfect. Let's me watch the whole movie in 15 minutes. Explained perfectly and it was an epic movie. Thank you so much for your content.! 😃

It's rare to see other children teaching an adult with other ways on modern life.
Finally a good Japanese movie that isn’t weird.
i mean-
Imagine if he finds out there's only one ninja left
Descendant of a ninja, not the original ninja.
@@unknownguyindo4356 I mean he's the last of the ninjas that still knows its ways
@@somestormcloakwithanarrowo4671 Not an actual ninja mind you but their descendants.
Ninja's as a whole is fading into obscurity with the existence of guns in 19th century.
They maybe taking some jobs here and there but overall their whole works is almost completely gone at that era.
Most ninja descendants that is exist at the time of war is either joined with government Intelligence division or lay low until the war is over.
Also ninja in Samurai's eyes is a coward and a traitor towards the land.
@@unknownguyindo4356 so it's probably better for that guy to be the last, and end it once and for all
@@somestormcloakwithanarrowo4671 Their cultures maybe can be reformed as Martial arts and etc, but the actual ninja? They better off gone. The Yakuza or other crime organizations is already problems in Japan, they didn't need another one.
Even Japanese people themselves like to romanticize both the Samurai and Ninja while the truth is both of them are mercenary with one of them being employed by the local warlord & thus "legal" while the other just do it like they wanted and the warlord have no use for unloyal mercs unless completely necessary.
The Bushido or The Samurai Code while sounds and looks honorable was actually bunch of bs like The Codes of Chivalry of The Knights (Knights was actually just bunch of greedy nobles that is fighting for fame & power).
The codes was just their own way to "justify" their own doings.
Samurai or Knights that is actually following "The True Path" is actually very rare and were the exceptions.
I like Japanese movies. Thanks for this summary.
This movie was made for recaps. Great job guys

I love these videos! the only part that was questionable is when he said "people live in peace and harmony" 🤣 I wish
Compared to the 19th century? Are you high boy?
After truck-kun, we now have Bus-kun who failed the first attempt to send Takechi back in time later suceeding in the 2nd attempt
Samurai : what's this ?
The person next to him : a vacuum
Samurai : it looks wierd
Me : your not the only one
What an amazing movie. I love that Japanese movies have so much soul in it.
I'm glad Takeshi met good people in the future, learned his buddy is there too and striving in Tokyo, meets a nice family and in return they got an inheritance. He also kept his honor and is respected, which in today's culture is hard to come by...
I love these stories of ancient people being transported to the future
Samurai: **Does self-defense**
Police: "That's illegal."
Young punks learning about the hard life their heritage has endured is always beautiful.
Samurai Jack isn't the only samurai to have traveled into the future.
In Samurai times if you committed a crime like assassination or something and when the law makes you commit the unthinkable it's actually called going out with honor in Samurai times almost everydeath is going out with honor
Samurai loved pulling assassinations or hiring someone
His crime was seeking to conspire against a clan which got innocent people killed.
@@samuraijackoff5354 well he killed a lot for new era for his clan but Shokun didn't like what he done because he also killed his advisor so the guy go out like a chad did harakiri three time without someone to cut his head off to show his resolved for all he did was for the clan. the irony after that the guy who order to killed him has to join force with Ryoma to overthrown era of Shokun like Takechi want to do
Can't wait to see his reaction to the two Suns america dropped on Japan
If he has seen twitter he would say to himself.
"I didn't die for this shit"
His final letter before his death reminds me of Mi Ultimo Adios(my last farewell)
Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed,
Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost,
With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed;
And were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best,
I would still give it to you for your welfare at most.
On the fields of battle, in the fury of fight,
Others give you their lives without pain or hesitancy,
The place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white,
Scaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site,
It is the same if asked by home and Country.
I die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to show
And at last announce the day, after a gloomy night;
If you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow,
Pour my blood and at the right moment spread it so,
And gild it with a reflection of your nascent light!
My dreams, when scarcely a lad adolescent,
My dreams when already a youth, full of vigor to attain,
Were to see you, gem of the sea of the Orient,
Your dark eyes dry, smooth brow held to a high plane
Without frown, without wrinkles and of shame without stain.
My life's fancy, my ardent, passionate desire,
Hail! Cries out the soul to you, that will soon part from thee;
Hail! How sweet 'tis to fall that fullness you may acquire;
To die to give you life, 'neath your skies to expire,
And in your mystic land to sleep through eternity !
If over my tomb some day, you would see blow,
A simple humble flow'r amidst thick grasses,
Bring it up to your lips and kiss my soul so,
And under the cold tomb, I may feel on my brow,
Warmth of your breath, a whiff of your tenderness.
Let the moon with soft, gentle light me descry,
Let the dawn send forth its fleeting, brilliant light,
In murmurs grave allow the wind to sigh,
And should a bird descend on my cross and alight,
Let the bird intone a song of peace o'er my site.
Let the burning sun the raindrops vaporize
And with my clamor behind return pure to the sky;
Let a friend shed tears over my early demise;
And on quiet afternoons when one prays for me on high,
Pray too, oh, my Motherland, that in God may rest I.
Pray thee for all the hapless who have died,
For all those who unequalled torments have undergone;
For our poor mothers who in bitterness have cried;
For orphans, widows and captives to tortures were shied,
And pray too that you may see you own redemption.
And when the dark night wraps the cemet'ry
And only the dead to vigil there are left alone,
Don't disturb their repose, don't disturb the mystery:
If you hear the sounds of cithern or psaltery,
It is I, dear Country, who, a song t'you intone.
And when my grave by all is no more remembered,
With neither cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let it be plowed by man, with spade let it be scattered
And my ashes ere to nothingness are restored,
Let them turn to dust to cover your earthly space.
Then it doesn't matter that you should forget me:
Your atmosphere, your skies, your vales I'll sweep;
Vibrant and clear note to your ears I shall be:
Aroma, light, hues, murmur, song, moanings deep,
Constantly repeating the essence of the faith I keep.
My idolized Country, for whom I most gravely pine,
Dear Philippines, to my last goodbye, oh, harken
There I leave all: my parents, loves of mine,
I'll go where there are no slaves, tyrants or hangmen
Where faith does not kill and where God alone does reign.
Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me,
Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed;
Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day;
Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my way;
Farewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.
"Gotta get back...back to the past....Samurai Jack."
Sorry....I'll let myself out...
That sounded like a real good movie. Just when you think they have used up every conceivable concept of the time travel story along comes a movie with an entirely new and interesting concept.
"Life was boring before the internet"
My history teacher told us that what would impress a person from a previous era would simply be to bring them to a supermarket, the availability of so much food would impress him more than anything
this is so true
And then to a clothing store. So many clothes, cheap and abundant, in a wide variety of fashions. I mean, quality clothing used to be something a royal or noble would bequeath to visitors.
Takechi is a true warrior and chad. his strength extraordinary.. that is the mark of a true samurai
I love the concept of someone from the past visiting the future or vice versa.
What a good movie and an emotional ending.
This was an excellent movie that I saw sometime ago. I would contradict one statement you made at the end. Seppuku was an honored death of a Samurai. It was no way a coward‘s ending.
I saw an older version of a movie like this, "Ghost Warrior" I think it was called. Same premise but with one huge difference. The samurai wakes up and finds himself in modern day America in Los Angeles
Ohhh. I think I'll watch it.
@@momthinksimgay9153 hope you can find it as old 80s movies like that are hard to find

I've never heard of this film before but after watching this I gotta go and see it!
I just love tastefully done time travel stories.
this japanese film is really wholesome and heartbreaking. I also want to see Ryoma's life aftermath. He really likes being in our world where there is peace. Makes me wonder how the hell it became that peaceful after that long history of war and politics? (I know we are still quite far from total peace but hey it is better than being slaves in Ancient Egypt or Church abusing their powers)
