You are right. My apologies. And I can't undo the mistake... So I will face the lashes with dignity. I shall not fail again. My honor will be restored and become unstainted, once more.
What interests me here is that aside from the fact it’s clear the red samurai is a more emotional and bold aggressor, and the black one is a calm but veteran warrior that gives multiple chances for the younger warrior to back off. It also seems like there is a difference in status. The Red Samurai seems to be wearing more higher end armor in terms of sheer ornamental value and additional armor pieces like added thigh guards, yet he neglects a metal face mask of any kind showing his face for all to see. Which given his ego of not backing out of the fight, could be a purposeful thing. He strikes me as a young samurai descended from a powerful family, who despite his heritage and money to show for it, he has let that heritage make him believe he is superior. Meanwhile the veteran seems to be keeping to his duty, with more reserved armor and a face mask that hides his identity, caring more for its protection. He is simply a soldier, perhaps a lesser samurai or even ashigaru turned samurai and he knows the importance of one’s own skill and discipline. It’s how he got to where he was. So with this in mind, we have a lesson of no matter your heritage or the money you can flash around, you can’t survive if you let that ego rule you. Especially when up against a problem far out of your league. Because skill can’t be inherited, it can only be learned.
it could even be the other way round, a skilled samurai who was once like the red samurai full of vigor and fury but slowly calmed over the years as he became more precise and disciplined. Perhaps that's why he tried to let the red samurai live as the red samurai was still quite young, maybe reminding the black samurai of his younger days. This is such a great cinematic, lots of different possible interpretations.
@@plussum3255 That's what I thought, maybe it's like this: (The part where their swords are crossed) Black Samurai: One last chance to back down, son. Red Samurai (arrogantly) No way, old man! This ends when only when one of us still stands! Black Samurai: I warned you. Black Samurai after killing the Red: D@#n you, you could have been a great warrior but you neglected to know your limits. May your ancestors welcome you.
So first the red samurai just barged his way into this other guy's castle (Rude) interrupted his meditation or training (also rude) then demanded a fight in the most 1v1 fite me IRL fggt way. So the blue samurai pretty much told him to piss off, and the red guy tried to attack him in the back. Then the blue Samurai gave *several opportunities* to let the red Samurai know he was way in over his head and to just back off. The red samurai wasn't fighting for his honor, he had a bruised ego and blue kicked his ass.
yes i realise it's not real :p I've just seen other people in the comments section saying how they thought it went down. Just saying they were both douches, but red was a douche first
I love how you can tell, without words, that red is clearly the aggressor and blue is super skilled but knows that its not worth killing until blue himself realizes that red is not gonna give up. Blue spared red twice. Fight could have been over in seconds. Red should probably have already bowed and asked for forgiveness/teaching after blue gets the blade to his throat the first time.
Hm, it could be the opposite - blue could be an intruder to the estate, and red is accosting the invader, and is obligated to defend it. Blue insults red by not even giving him the time of day and walking off, and then further insults red by refusing to deal a killing blow multiple times. That's probably why red refused to surrender after being bested multiple times and why two warriors are hanging around a courtyard dressed in full armor.

You are right on that, one thing that the samurai class held rights to was a right to kill someone who horribly insulted them, the rules require that you do so immediately and there must be a witness to said action. He was probably acting on that right even though he probably didn’t have a witness. Giving up in the middle of the fight would be seen as cowardly so he was most likely determined to beat his opponent, because disgracing yourself is very detrimental to your household during the time as a samurai
@@theodoreroosevelt2154He didn’t insult him though. Especially for this time period where such rules were hardly a thing. He simply refused his offer for a duel.
@@kaijuslayer3334 This right that they held is somewhat unclear.

Fun Fact: actual blade on blade contact was extremely rare as it damages the sword tremendously. Real fights between Samurai were quick and brutal with a lethal strike happening generally within the first 10 seconds of combat.

god, the cinematics are so realistic! ps: I heard its because they use real matrial artists to portray their units ingame. Awesome stuff altogether. this should be made into a movie, havent seen any epic samurai movies lately.
In Kendo we use a Shinai for sparring. It's a practice sword composed of bamboo reads and tied together with leather. For form practice (kata) typically Bokkens are use, which are wooden katana analogs. It's not uncommon for very experienced senseis to use Shinkens (sharpened live blade katanas) or Iaito (dulled practice katanas). Kendo is more of a sport these days kind of like Judo is for Jujitsu. If you want traditional training look into Kenjutsu, Iaido, and Tameshigiri.
Well, the Samurai also wore armor back in the days, though not all of it was made of metal I believe. The breastplate, greaves, helmet and the gloves were of metal, that I am sure of. But you're right; they had no shields Rather they had to rely on their skills with the Katana for protection and counter-attacks, which made them the greatest swordsmen in history.
I doubt about being greatest swordsmen in history so far. The only known military unit to use swords as main weapon are the Roman Legionnaries. From Polybian to preDometian(or was it Diocletian) era. They use shieldwall but uses swords but they do soften up their enemies first with their heavy javelins. And sometimes, use the javelin as spear against cavalry charges. Spartan Hoplites, as in, not any other Greek Hoplites, may be a contender, but like most military units in history, sans, Roman Legionnaires, swords are sidearms. Even Knights fights with lance from horseback and on foot, pollaxe(good against armoured and unarmoured opponents). Samurais? They are actually horse archers and their iconic o-yoroi armour is in fact, designed to protect against projectiles. And when fighting up close, they utlize their naganitas. The katanas are still a sidearm.
Kusarigama is a good weapon which can be used in various ways depending on the skill of the user, but on the other hand, the handling of kusarigama is difficult and a beginner is likely to hit his own body with the chain weight and thus kusarigama is a weapon requiring intensive training A Japanese sword cuts clean
I watch this clip to break from my depression and humble myself whenever I start to feel conceited and in the top of my game. The clip is a stark reminder for me that there is always someone better that I will ever be.

Not really. Mongol age has the faction diversity 3 kingdoms and Spring and Autumn can never match. You have Muslim, Eastern European and Teutonic knights, Oriental factions, and Steppe Nomads. You can simulate Chinese military Tactics of 3 kingdoms era with playing Oda factions for Shogun 2; that's bad. Yea. There is differences, but the meat and butter of Eastern Han warfare is also professional shock cavalry, pike men, and projectile units
United States. Sorry if I disappoint you. I know I was supposed to say "bread and butter" or "meat and bone." I'm bi-lingual and knew bits of other languages too, so sometimes my catch phrases "mix and intermingle."
@1169Timothy Samurai train from childhood every day of their lives in offence and defense along side warrior monks, archers, etc and are still capable combatants into their forties. By that point in their lives they shift over to leadership roles and training on a full time basis. I have a set of leather armour shaped like late 16th cent. Samurai armour and wear a full sleeved chainmaille hauberk underneath; It is underweight but from a flexibility point of view its incredibly easy to move in.
From what I understand that is one of the key points of the Jigen-ryu style: " The sword is a means of destroying your enemy, not a means of defence." I suggest looking up the Ikedaya Incident of 1864. There are accounts of swords being broken, bent and damaged during that battle from defensive application.
ronin are the most wanted people in sengoku era because if your master die and didn't find a master as soon as possible you most commit seppuko and those samurai who refuse to seppoku become ronin and wandering the japan and so the reteiner;s trying to catch and killed them just like miyamoto musashi you know him ???
I was certain the black samurai was gonna lose cause he was overly cocky. It's what always happens, one loses brutally but is never killed, then the loser figures out the winner's strat/style and capitalizes on it, winning the fight.
Stefan Korica slice to the gut, blood most likely filling their trachea, wind probably knocked out of them, sorry but I don't think he'd be able to scream.
Nice bit of Aikijutsu with the wrist lock and throw. Great animation. The katana thing...blades were made from both soft and hard iron, folded about 9 times creating (500+) layers of alternating soft and hard - the hard layer would resist the impact but crack, this crack would slow down at the soft layer then have even more trouble continuing through the next hard layer and so on. This folding technique during forging is what made Japanese blades so strong.
some people say this isnt from the new shogun but in an interview a guy said that they had like legendary samurai duels where they would have a fight before the the big battle and if it looks like this than this games is going to be epic
You're quite right. The sword didn't become "the" standard weapon until the Edo period which was mostly a peaceful time. Also it should be noted that an actual samurai sword duel would almost always only last a matter of seconds. This star-wars esque sword clashing is ridiculous. Shields were not used again because most samurai weaponry developed required 2 hands.
@Cabrug I would favor the Samurai in a sword duel as their sword techniques are inherited and developed through many generations. While most knight train based on basic techniques from their father, grand father or simply a coach, some has to learn directly through battle which an untrained has very low chance of surviving.
+Tarik360 also katanas (and other nihonto) were designed so that the blade would stay sharp for a very long time just in case you got into an insanely long battle.
Antitroller101 is right in a way, the Janissaries were the best of the Ottoman Empire, which had A LOT of slave soldiers. But to say they were the best at any point is an exaggeration. Don't get me wrong they were good but I don't think they were great. The Ottomans power had more to do with slavery & the general lack of unity of their enemies. The Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire was already crumbling long before the Ottomans attacked it & its fall was more to do with European troubles. The Ottomans were just the ones that delivered the killing blow.
It would be nice for you to have some historical basis. Indeed, first of all the Ottoman Army did not mainly consist of Slave Soldiers, this is completely false. The slave soldiers were the Kapikulu ; composing the Padishah's Guard ; all elite soldiers. Janissaries were part of the Kapikulu. The most extensive part of the army was composed of Azabs (conscripts) and Gönüllüs (Volunteers). They were given a training of over eight years, which was huge, especially in times were armies were often composed of large amounts of poorly trained feudal levies. And their training was known to be extremely rough. Indeed they favoured personal heroism and the strictest level of discipline. They could be in no way compared to regular infantry ; in fact their training resembled in many aspects to feudal knight training. Yet, as time went the Janissary army started to have more and more fake Janissaries due to decentralized power, untrained fake Yerliye (The Landlord's/Bey's) Janissaries caused a loss of discipline. But the true Kapikulu (Padishah) Janissaries always were, until their very end elite soldiers. So please read some Ottoman History before posting; they were not some average soldiers, the Janissaries were an elite corps as all elite corps, that had it's rise, height and fall, but did not prevail because their enemies were weak as you meant or because of a massive use of slaves/large numbers. --- Based on 5 years of Ottoman Military Structure studies. Sorry for my English, it is my third language.
The Ottoman Empire's power stemmed from its military strength. The Byzantine Empire had been declining, but there were other nations that were subdued such as the Mamluk Empire, which was one of the few empires to repel the Mongols and the Second Bulgarian Empire, which was one of the earliest non Roman civilizations in Eastern Europe. And there was unity among Christian nations in the 16th century and that unity became a force to be reckon with in the 17th century. The Janissaries were certainly a feared unit. They were the first actual marching band and their war music contributed to the decrease morale of their enemies. The Great Turkish war proved that it would takes many European nations to put up a fight. The reason the Ottomans did not succeed is because they never captured Vienna which was a logistical point into Europe, and their other rival was Safavid Persia. Mean while the reach of their empire was felt as far as Iceland, Sub-Sahara, and the east Indies. You seem to undermine the empire.
Fun fact: A simple animation of a game on youtube, draws thousands of people to argue, trying to show who knows more of japan, martial arts, and funny words, just to argue about something totally different 5 min later, on another video, and claiming to know as much as previous.
Samurai, knight, doesn't matter what you may be. The best weren't the honorable, they weren't the spiritually pure. They were the ones who did all they could to survive. Both Musashi and Talhoffer wrote the respective books on Strategy in swordplay and both condoned dirty tactics. The majority of the Talhoffer manual is grapples and cheap shots while Musashi's first duel was won by him charging the man while he was distracted and bludgeoning him to death with a 6ft stave.
It's a pointless debate, both knight and samurai were the elite troopers of their time, like special forces now. They dedicated their entire life to train their combat skills and perfect their body and mind to be the ultimate weapon.
If you look carefully, the blue one obviously didn't want to fight him and even nearly killed him with the blade under the neck which could be a devastating blow but he was just teasing him. but The samurai way is to never back down ANY duel.
0:37 I really like the detail of the black samurai here He is in a warning stance.(I dont really know too well I only learned about it in HEMA. I remembered it is a stance of showing passiveness. And also a final stance before retracting back your sword)
Wow, that was more detailed than what Id say. The grey shaded one gave him plenty of chances to back off too. In a way, it was the red ones pride that killed him.
Actually it is both. Their fighting style is either a two handed katana, the 2 handed with the 1 hand short sword, or the spear/naginata. all in which would be impossible to use with a shield. BUT they also do infact believe that to use a shield was to fear death. Read the book Shogun by James Clavel
Wow! That was a sick duel! The black armored samurai was nasty, the red armored samurai didn't stand a chance, he was nearly killed like 3 times! The cinematics in Shogun 2 look insane! I wonder what part of the game you get to see this scene??
A "Non-honorable parry" is a myth. At times, Hollywood says that Samurai never parry, but that is not correct. In Iaidô, a Sword style createt multiple hundred years ago, we have quite a few parrys. We are only taught to -not- parry with the blades sharp edge. The edge could take severe damage, up to a broken blade. To parry with the flat side is a well known technique, and beginners already learn how to do it.
Knight and samuari are both the best warriors in their era and region, but I can think of one major difference - surrender or being captured are utmost dishonor for samuari so they would fight to the end no matter what, while this rule did not apply to knight becasue... even a captured knight may earn respect for doing their duty, and most importantly, earn ransom for their enemy.
@1169Timothy Example: The battle of Agincourt. French Knights wearing plate armor who were unlucky enough to be dismounted were so weighted down by their armor that they were unable to even get up and often ended up getting crushed by the troops behind them or drowning in small pools of water/blood. The rest were crushed by English yeomen because the yeomen could move faster, maneuver quicker, and so forth. While plate armor had its benefits, it also had many drawbacks.
I'm not denying that janissaries had their high point. I'm just saying that by 1800 they had already been proven over and over again that they were helplessly obsolete.
@AdoPotts6 of course you can! they're both dudes with swords and armor. ones with armor from leather, fabrik, and bamboo, the others with armor from steel and iron. both use swords (for the most part) and they both where rendered completely useless when faced with powder based weapons. if two things got so many similarities, of course you can compare them.
@1169Timothy The Armour used by the samurai was sometimes made from laqured bamboo with padding underneath. It was lighter then metal armour so it allowed them to move quicker.
Two reasons this red Samurai dude lost. 1. Clearly the balck dude were superior with the sword. 2. The red one let the anger take over. A GOOD Samurai always remains calm :)
"He who runs with aggression, walks without dignity": Samurai Jack.

How I imagine Katana Samurai vs Katana Hero matchups go cinemmatically. 🌟
god, the cinematics are so realistic!
ps: I heard its because they use real matrial artists to portray their units ingame. Awesome stuff altogether.
this should be made into a movie, havent seen any epic samurai movies lately.
In Kendo we use a Shinai for sparring. It's a practice sword composed of bamboo reads and tied together with leather. For form practice (kata) typically Bokkens are use, which are wooden katana analogs. It's not uncommon for very experienced senseis to use Shinkens (sharpened live blade katanas) or Iaito (dulled practice katanas). Kendo is more of a sport these days kind of like Judo is for Jujitsu. If you want traditional training look into Kenjutsu, Iaido, and Tameshigiri.
Well, the Samurai also wore armor back in the days, though not all of it was made of metal I believe. The breastplate, greaves, helmet and the gloves were of metal, that I am sure of. But you're right; they had no shields Rather they had to rely on their skills with the Katana for protection and counter-attacks, which made them the greatest swordsmen in history.
I doubt about being greatest swordsmen in history so far. The only known military unit to use swords as main weapon are the Roman Legionnaries. From Polybian to preDometian(or was it Diocletian) era. They use shieldwall but uses swords but they do soften up their enemies first with their heavy javelins. And sometimes, use the javelin as spear against cavalry charges.
Spartan Hoplites, as in, not any other Greek Hoplites, may be a contender, but like most military units in history, sans, Roman Legionnaires, swords are sidearms. Even Knights fights with lance from horseback and on foot, pollaxe(good against armoured and unarmoured opponents).
Samurais? They are actually horse archers and their iconic o-yoroi armour is in fact, designed to protect against projectiles. And when fighting up close, they utlize their naganitas. The katanas are still a sidearm.
The fact is this is Jin Sakai father's origin.
Someone should make an MLG version of this.
+Samuel Godwin No.
Kortooth5863 damn. Okay. Lol just making a suggestion
Samuel Godwin Ik xD
+Samuel Godwin I can imagine it now XD
0:30 One of the greatest disrespects in any duel that I've ever seen 💀
0:15 that guys like "Waste of my time"
why is this still enjoyable like 9 years after the game showed up?
Kusarigama is a good weapon which can be used in various ways depending on the skill of the user, but on the other hand, the handling of kusarigama is difficult and a beginner is likely to hit his own body with the chain weight and thus kusarigama is a weapon requiring intensive training A Japanese sword cuts clean
I watch this clip to break from my depression and humble myself whenever I start to feel conceited and in the top of my game. The clip is a stark reminder for me that there is always someone better that I will ever be.
then youve lived a life of self imposed limitations. in whatever one does one should always aim to be the best, and to assume others will always be better than you will manifest itself into weakness and failure
I Wish Sega should have created China total war, set during the mongol Invasion of china. Instead we get a vary glitch game, Rome 2 total war
rome 2 got awesome after 2 month and we have warhammer. i am quite ok with sega^^
acturely the most great age for china total war is Three Kingdoms era and Spring and Autumn period.
Not really. Mongol age has the faction diversity 3 kingdoms and Spring and Autumn can never match. You have Muslim, Eastern European and Teutonic knights, Oriental factions, and Steppe Nomads. You can simulate Chinese military Tactics of 3 kingdoms era with playing Oda factions for Shogun 2; that's bad. Yea. There is differences, but the meat and butter of Eastern Han warfare is also professional shock cavalry, pike men, and projectile units
pypy1986820 meat and butter? where are you from, if you don't mind?
United States. Sorry if I disappoint you. I know I was supposed to say "bread and butter" or "meat and bone." I'm bi-lingual and knew bits of other languages too, so sometimes my catch phrases "mix and intermingle."
Ego can be the worst of your enemies
@1169Timothy Samurai train from childhood every day of their lives in offence and defense along side warrior monks, archers, etc and are still capable combatants into their forties. By that point in their lives they shift over to leadership roles and training on a full time basis. I have a set of leather armour shaped like late 16th cent. Samurai armour and wear a full sleeved chainmaille hauberk underneath; It is underweight but from a flexibility point of view its incredibly easy to move in.
From what I understand that is one of the key points of the Jigen-ryu style: " The sword is a means of destroying your enemy, not a means of defence." I suggest looking up the Ikedaya Incident of 1864. There are accounts of swords being broken, bent and damaged during that battle from defensive application.
lol i come in the comment's section to find where they got this cinematic. all i get is neck beards fighting...what did i expect...
I know...it makes me sad.
lol It's from a game
GuidoAnchovy B my god the edge
Many of us history fanatics arent fighting, were having an argument. Which is nothing but a healthy activity.
Lapis Bouchaut Even so, it gets out of hand a lot of times
When you wear full body armour, but you still die by one slash.
shamfu dispray! Ronin vs Samurai anyone? (know ronin are also samurais, but masterless)
ronin are the most wanted people in sengoku era because if your master die and didn't find a master as soon as possible you most commit seppuko and those samurai who refuse to seppoku become ronin and wandering the japan and so the reteiner;s trying to catch and killed them just like miyamoto musashi you know him ???
I was certain the black samurai was gonna lose cause he was overly cocky.
It's what always happens, one loses brutally but is never killed, then the loser figures out the winner's strat/style and capitalizes on it, winning the fight.
Am i the only one that wants a shogun 3
No,me too
0:25 first warning
0:30 second warning
0:38 final warning and the red samurai signed his own demise
People should be screaming and bleeding to death not just die... instant death was so rare even in todays wars.
Stefan Korica Get the blood expansion then.
You're a fucking idiot.
It depends on the amount of willpower if they scream or not.
Stefan Korica slice to the gut, blood most likely filling their trachea, wind probably knocked out of them, sorry but I don't think he'd be able to scream.
try shooting someone's head did and see if they scream and try clean cut a people's head lets see if it bleed but only samurai can do that
a glorious victory will soon be yours
Nice bit of Aikijutsu with the wrist lock and throw. Great animation. The katana thing...blades were made from both soft and hard iron, folded about 9 times creating (500+) layers of alternating soft and hard - the hard layer would resist the impact but crack, this crack would slow down at the soft layer then have even more trouble continuing through the next hard layer and so on. This folding technique during forging is what made Japanese blades so strong.
some people say this isnt from the new shogun but in an interview a guy said that they had like legendary samurai duels where they would have a fight before the the big battle and if it looks like this than this games is going to be epic
Dude, where did this vid come from? Was it in game?? I've never seen it :o
I ask the same hahah
You're quite right. The sword didn't become "the" standard weapon until the Edo period which was mostly a peaceful time. Also it should be noted that an actual samurai sword duel would almost always only last a matter of seconds. This star-wars esque sword clashing is ridiculous. Shields were not used again because most samurai weaponry developed required 2 hands.
When does this scene occur?
@Cabrug I would favor the Samurai in a sword duel as their sword techniques are inherited and developed through many generations. While most knight train based on basic techniques from their father, grand father or simply a coach, some has to learn directly through battle which an untrained has very low chance of surviving.
That armour isn't good for much
Lord Gaben it's a katana
vitor tonietto still, they're trying to slice heavy armor.
Lord Gaben still katanas are sharp
vitor tonietto Do you really think that anyone would bother wearing armour if the most common sword in the country could slice through it?
TheUberguitar123 that's a very good question
"You had your chance"
I always cringe a bit when edges collide, is it bad?
***** Well, all I know is that he may have to re-sharpen his sword after that...
or re-forge it even :C
+Tarik360 they would do that alot anyways regardless... Samurai cared about their weapons, alot
+Tarik360 also katanas (and other nihonto) were designed so that the blade would stay sharp for a very long time just in case you got into an insanely long battle.
***** no they do that to wipe the blood off the blade.
i like how the black samurai sheathed his sword into absolutely nothing
Antitroller101 is right in a way, the Janissaries were the best of the Ottoman Empire, which had A LOT of slave soldiers. But to say they were the best at any point is an exaggeration. Don't get me wrong they were good but I don't think they were great. The Ottomans power had more to do with slavery & the general lack of unity of their enemies. The Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire was already crumbling long before the Ottomans attacked it & its fall was more to do with European troubles. The Ottomans were just the ones that delivered the killing blow.
It would be nice for you to have some historical basis. Indeed, first of all the Ottoman Army did not mainly consist of Slave Soldiers, this is completely false. The slave soldiers were the Kapikulu ; composing the Padishah's Guard ; all elite soldiers. Janissaries were part of the Kapikulu. The most extensive part of the army was composed of Azabs (conscripts) and Gönüllüs (Volunteers).
They were given a training of over eight years, which was huge, especially in times were armies were often composed of large amounts of poorly trained feudal levies. And their training was known to be extremely rough. Indeed they favoured personal heroism and the strictest level of discipline. They could be in no way compared to regular infantry ; in fact their training resembled in many aspects to feudal knight training. Yet, as time went the Janissary army started to have more and more fake Janissaries due to decentralized power, untrained fake Yerliye (The Landlord's/Bey's) Janissaries caused a loss of discipline. But the true Kapikulu (Padishah) Janissaries always were, until their very end elite soldiers.
So please read some Ottoman History before posting; they were not some average soldiers, the Janissaries were an elite corps as all elite corps, that had it's rise, height and fall, but did not prevail because their enemies were weak as you meant or because of a massive use of slaves/large numbers.
--- Based on 5 years of Ottoman Military Structure studies. Sorry for my English, it is my third language.
The Ottoman Empire's power stemmed from its military strength. The Byzantine Empire had been declining, but there were other nations that were subdued such as the Mamluk Empire, which was one of the few empires to repel the Mongols and the Second Bulgarian Empire, which was one of the earliest non Roman civilizations in Eastern Europe. And there was unity among Christian nations in the 16th century and that unity became a force to be reckon with in the 17th century. The Janissaries were certainly a feared unit. They were the first actual marching band and their war music contributed to the decrease morale of their enemies. The Great Turkish war proved that it would takes many European nations to put up a fight. The reason the Ottomans did not succeed is because they never captured Vienna which was a logistical point into Europe, and their other rival was Safavid Persia. Mean while the reach of their empire was felt as far as Iceland, Sub-Sahara, and the east Indies. You seem to undermine the empire.
The only way I know about Janissaries is because of Assassin's Creed: Revelations lmao
"The way of the samurai is found in death" -Hagakure
I've never seen this scene in game, when does it happen?
its just a trailer or a scene that you're agent dueling someone
@@DS-zn7yk
no it's not either of those
apparently this is a cinematic made by somebody else and is completely unrelated to shogun 2
love how they put back theair swords
Fun fact: A simple animation of a game on youtube, draws thousands of people to argue, trying to show who knows more of japan, martial arts, and funny words, just to argue about something totally different 5 min later, on another video, and claiming to know as much as previous.
Samurai, knight, doesn't matter what you may be.
The best weren't the honorable, they weren't the spiritually pure.
They were the ones who did all they could to survive.
Both Musashi and Talhoffer wrote the respective books on Strategy in swordplay
and both condoned dirty tactics.
The majority of the Talhoffer manual is grapples and cheap shots while Musashi's first duel was won by him charging the man while he was distracted and bludgeoning him to death with a 6ft stave.
It's a pointless debate, both knight and samurai were the elite troopers of their time, like special forces now. They dedicated their entire life to train their combat skills and perfect their body and mind to be the ultimate weapon.
Look at the quality, its so amazing!!!
The "fuck you" with the sword at the beginning was a nice touch.
If you look carefully, the blue one obviously didn't want to fight him and even nearly killed him with the blade under the neck which could be a devastating blow but he was just teasing him. but The samurai way is to never back down ANY duel.
This scene ALONE makes me want to get Shogun 2.
0:37 I really like the detail of the black samurai here
He is in a warning stance.(I dont really know too well I only learned about it in HEMA. I remembered it is a stance of showing passiveness. And also a final stance before retracting back your sword)
The black Samurai acted cool because he knew this will be on RUclips.
Wow, that was more detailed than what Id say. The grey shaded one gave him plenty of chances to back off too. In a way, it was the red ones pride that killed him.
The blue guy doesn't wanna kill the red guy, but he is so persistent he foolishly looses his life.
What the victorious samurai was thinking at the bigginning was "ha ha, don't make me laugh."
How he cut trough armour? It is not possible. Cinematics they are so... cinematographic.
"Who's the warrior in the red armor?!?!"
"My brother in law. Hirotoro."
"Oh...I thought it was...nevermind."
Actually it is both. Their fighting style is either a two handed katana, the 2 handed with the 1 hand short sword, or the spear/naginata. all in which would be impossible to use with a shield. BUT they also do infact believe that to use a shield was to fear death. Read the book Shogun by James Clavel
The black one knew the other guy was coming, you can see him setting up his camera to put it on RUclips.
Wow! That was a sick duel! The black armored samurai was nasty, the red armored samurai didn't stand a chance, he was nearly killed like 3 times! The cinematics in Shogun 2 look insane! I wonder what part of the game you get to see this scene??
Red samurai got his. Blue tried several times to NOT kill him, before he was forced to do so.
Great duel scene and also love the sound of Daiko drums....
Rookie red samurai should known better than to challenge ma boy Jin Sakai. MR. MADA FUKIN GHOST OF TSUSHIMA
A "Non-honorable parry" is a myth. At times, Hollywood says that Samurai never parry, but that is not correct. In Iaidô, a Sword style createt multiple hundred years ago, we have quite a few parrys. We are only taught to -not- parry with the blades sharp edge. The edge could take severe damage, up to a broken blade.
To parry with the flat side is a well known technique, and beginners already learn how to do it.
Knight and samuari are both the best warriors in their era and region, but I can think of one major difference - surrender or being captured are utmost dishonor for samuari so they would fight to the end no matter what, while this rule did not apply to knight becasue... even a captured knight may earn respect for doing their duty, and most importantly, earn ransom for their enemy.
@1169Timothy Example: The battle of Agincourt. French Knights wearing plate armor who were unlucky enough to be dismounted were so weighted down by their armor that they were unable to even get up and often ended up getting crushed by the troops behind them or drowning in small pools of water/blood. The rest were crushed by English yeomen because the yeomen could move faster, maneuver quicker, and so forth.
While plate armor had its benefits, it also had many drawbacks.
Even in 360p, this video looks great !
@Timefliesbye
"The samurai armour was built up from iron or studded leather patches which did not cover all."
They had steel.
Wow, the black samurai was just playing with red all through that.
I'm not denying that janissaries had their high point. I'm just saying that by 1800 they had already been proven over and over again that they were helplessly obsolete.
This is why i like total war they base their games around violence yet their not gory
@AdoPotts6 of course you can! they're both dudes with swords and armor. ones with armor from leather, fabrik, and bamboo, the others with armor from steel and iron. both use swords (for the most part) and they both where rendered completely useless when faced with powder based weapons. if two things got so many similarities, of course you can compare them.
I could watch a hundred of these duels, hope the game has in game cinematics like this between your "hero troops"
@1169Timothy The Armour used by the samurai was sometimes made from laqured bamboo with padding underneath. It was lighter then metal armour so it allowed them to move quicker.
Two reasons this red Samurai dude lost. 1. Clearly the balck dude were superior with the sword. 2. The red one let the anger take over. A GOOD Samurai always remains calm :)
