I liked Ultraman and Gojira fighting in the background. Very good, comprehensive vid on Japanese uniforms. Looking forward to more.

I love how youve shown the last ditch rifles jamming instead of firing, the attention to detail is great

こんにちは😀 I am Japanese.About 10:55. There is no fact that the G36 rifle was adopted by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Special forces are using the HK416 rifle. But the video was very simple and interesting. ありがとう🙇

I haven’t heard the Japanese national anthem since I left Misawa Air Base in 2011. As odd as it may sound it was really nice to hear it again after these years. The JASDF is an outstanding group of men and women dedicated to defending the skies of Japan. I have a lot of respect for them.

NOTE: the Japanese actually had helmets in 1918, you can look up the model 1918, its similar to Adrian. PS: this was re-uploaded, bc of some issues and glitches.

"Fighting giant monsters is a JSDF tradition!" I laughed so hard when I saw Godzilla and Jet Jaguar that was a great Easter egg

Bro's a legend, Bro Ran in Different era's and never stopped 💀

China: You Japanese could not defeat us during World War 2! Japan: WE were different and alone! Now we have India, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and the USA on our side!

Missed a uniform between 1950 and 1960, it was an OD uniform that tucks just like an OG-107, but is domestically made and designed. To be fair, the JSDF didn’t receive many hand-me-downs and made/domestically produced their own equipment between the 50’s and late 70’s. *Edit: The uniform they missed is called the Type 65 OD uniform. It would see service and would never be officially replaced by the Type 1 uniform even by 1985.*

I suspect within the next 10 years, they might start reviving other branches of their military and start bringing it back to its old strength in order to properly respond to growing Chinese aggression in the region. And it seems the US is also pushing for that since it seems they want a smaller role in protecting Japan all by itself since it also has to help other countries in the region with the same issue.

As Japanese, I liked how they carried the Katana, godzilla ultraman and etc.... It is very accurate and made me satisfy. Now I am your fan, keep up your great work!!

10:30外国人が書くガバガバ日本語好き

Since the boxer rebellion part exists in this video I'm already hoping an entire video gets made

The Victorian and pre-WWI khakis were the high point of military fashion.

日本人ミリタリーマニアの自分からしても中々楽しめる動画だった🙆‍♂️ ありがとう👍

I had the distinct pleasure of serving along side JMSDF forces in 2012-2014. Will you be doing a progression of Japanese Naval uniforms?

I think they fixed some of the factoids. Yesterday there was this weird issue where the drop shadow wouldn't follow the text.

Because of an anime titled Gate, I found out that although the Howa Type 64 was chambered in 7.62 NATO, the ammo they were using had reduced powder charges. This was for less recoil for an average Japanese soldier.

I am Japanese. There were some differences and mistakes, but there were very few. It's wonderful to organize foreign cultures so beautifully!

In 10:44 background 5555 gozila vs untraman

Next topic: French army uniforms through out history.

Japanese imperial soldier. He can live off of maggoty rice and muddy water and endure misery for weeks you couldn’t dream up in your worse nightmare. Japanese soldier doesn’t care if he gets hurt or killed. As long as he kills you. Now you can call them whatever you want but never, ever, fail to respect their desire to put you and your buddies into an early grave! ~John Basilone

Thank You for putting videos like this UP.

these environments are really well done, its pretty much eye candy with the uniforms of the soldier! good job!

6:42 The “M98” uniform and “M90” uniform were both made of cotton or wool, depending on the weather. Also at 6:13 you’d still see the visored service cap here and a different helmet than the Type 90 as it was adopted in 1932.

You done it again Armchair Historian, another awesome video about the evolution of army uniform. This time it's on Japan, very impressive. I always want to know the color of the Japanese army uniform before WW1 and WW2. Next do a video on the evolution of the Chinese army uniform.

The animation was so smooth. I really like that.

日本の歴史を紹介してくださりありがとうございます。 Thank you very much

とても良くできていて素晴らしい作品です！（It's a very good anime! wonderful）

As an artist myself. I found the animation blend with artstyle quite good

It would be great to see this "platform" format take the form of video game series. To "live" specific historical battles or incidents from the perspective of a soldier or an officer. Great Documentary As Always.

8:22 shoutout to those who saw the American flag being raised as a reference of the famous WW2 image

I saw you private it yesterday, glad to be able to watch it now!

You should cover ancient uniforms too, because I would love to see the medieval uniforms as well

Great video ! You explain it well and professionally, keep it up!

I feel like it could have made the distinction between the Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 armor systems from the 90s on but I loved this overall!

These videos are super underrated, keep up the good work

I remember how someone literally dressed up as a WW2 Imperial Japanese soldier for Halloween at my high school. And he was Asian so it was even more historical. Then again we had a guy dress up as Mao (or was it Kim Jung Un, though it should be Mao) and he had a authentic Big Red Book which included all the bonus content not included in the Little Red Book.

I only knew about Japanese military uniforms from the Russo-Japanese War and the Pacific War. It was interesting to see the transition back to the end of the Edo period. Applause for great video! 👏👏👏

thx, dude been waiting for this

To think there was an idea of forming a Polish Legion in the Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War. I wonder what would it look like, had this idea been realized. Speaking of which, Evolution of Polish Uniforms would be a cool video. Even when there was no independent Poland for over a century, there still were Polish Legions, the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw and of the Kingdom of Poland (established at the Congress of Vienna, as an autonomous part of the Russian Empire). The uniforms of uhlans/lancers in armies across Europe were based on the Polish ones. Even during the January Uprising (1863-1864), when the Polish forces were irregular, so there were no standard uniforms, you can still show how the typical insurgents looked. Plus some units, like the Zouaves of Death, had a distinctive look.

Aside from the valuable information shown, this video is well-animated. My favorite is how the breathing pattern of those soldiers between running, charging, stopping and walking animations.

Love your posting. Thank you.

Thank you for studying Japanese history! The Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 was so fierce that bullets collided with each other! My high school is near the battelfield,but Ioften saw the ghosts of the Satsuma Rebellion!

League of Nations: No, don't do that if you're in the League of Nations you're not supposed to take over! Imperial Japan: How about i do anyway?

Excellent work once more with these historical military uniform videos. Your animation style is always accurate and sheds light on the smallest details. Kudos to you and your whole team for your excellent work on these videos. For your next military uniforms through history video, you should cover either French or Italian uniforms.

良くまとめられた面白い動画でした。

Thank you very much for your hard work and editing. Thank you very much. I'm not sure what to make of it. But if the old soldiers see this, they might say, "Bad posture!

The Japanese has great history of aesthetic clothing

Crazy how the Japanese adopted Khaki in 1904, while the French are still wearing blue in WW1.

Your videos always have the best music!

Great video. thankyou!!

Can we all agree that the armchair historian, Is one of the best KZfaq channel’s

10:35 - “This is not a Drug Den” Definitely not a Drug Den then, got it

0:42 why does the samurai run so weird Its like he's been holding his poo for a long time and he need to go to the bathroom quickly

This is a great video (As Always). I'd really like one made for the Boshin War.

W0W this new version is so much better than the original one! Congrats!

Was super excited for this!

Oh that is 55 days at Peking or not the 55 days at Peking is start in 1900 or 1899 4:19

good quality video! i subscribed. I also want to see other country's uniforms

Thank you! Amazing research. I would like to see one on some of the gear. Evolution of tents, backpacks, etc. Well done, as always.

Yes! Another Evolution video. This is my favourite genre of videos from this channel. Can you please do a Evolution of China / Or PLA uniforms.

Awesome. Great clip.

Bro watching these on my phone at work then coming home and putting it on a monitor, i can see so much more lol incredible job, incredible art

I am so glad that you covered this great vid

I would love to see the evolution of the Philippines uniforms from the Revolution and to this day. Same thing with Chile and Argentina

Very nice video, I hope we can get the dutch ones sometime in the future!

I like how Japanese nation did so well despite all the challenges and thrived in the end.

Aaww sweet another great episode!! Keep up the great work! You know that kings and generals is doing fantasy genres now and i thought i be so cool if you did the power armor and its variants from the fallout series that be so dope!!

Keep the good work up Griffin!

Amaging!! Nice video! 素晴らしいです。よく勉強されてますね。

7:04 the battle of palembang on sumatra

It’d be great to see evolution of Naval Uniforms videos as well!

this channel is the perfect balance with good animation and great detail.

Great video as always Armchair Historian btw at 10:44 we can see Godzilla and Ultraman,nice cameo.

Excellent video. I'm glad you included the weapons and names as well as the conflicts.

Nice video but something about the Type 99 "Last Ditch" rifles. The myth about the last-ditch version of the rifles being unreliable or dangerous to shoot are largely untrue. It is often misunderstood that both Japan (and Germany) often produce unreliable rifles during the late war period, which was untrue. While Japanese produced several odd or bad designs during the war, their rifles were some of the exceptions even in their "last-ditch" moment. There's no point in simplifying and producing rifles that won't work properly in the end (seriously, what's the point of issuing rifles that will explode on your face the moment you fire it? That's a waste of resources). The late-war Type 99 rifles were mentioned to be on the same level as their pre-war version, even better in some ways due to its simplified design that suited a "battle rifle". It was just the materials used were weaker, but by no mean they were unreliable or not safe to shoot. Its action is based on the reliable Mauser action, which is still used to this date. Some people had made videos about the last-ditch version Arisakas already, and they used them just fine. So yeah, Arisaka is still a good rifle, Type 30 or 99, both good. Have a nice day.

Thank you for making a video of the history of my country's army!

Earlier section bring me nostalgic when i played Shogun 2 Fall of Samurai

You should make one about Greek uniforms, they're pretty unique

This is such great quality content! Nice job 👍

This video was a surprise, but certainly a welcome one! This video is so awesome! Thanks a ton, Griffin! Please do French uniforms next! P.S. The inclusion of the Super Mario-style item box at 9:27 and the giant robot fighting Godzilla in the background at 10:41 just enriched this video so much. They also made me laugh my ass off.

Nice to see another Japanese themed video. I'd like to see a video about Japan under US occupation after WWII, but from the Japanese perspective!

3:36 favorite uniform

Make a video on French uniforms! And it would also be awesome to watch some more videos on the Napoleonic era! Changed European history forever, it deserves more than just an old video on Waterloo! Btw thank you very much for your work, this is one of my favorite channels, always pertinent, enjoyable and instructive! How to learn history and english while having fun

You've done it again Armchair Historian. Another interesting uniform evolution series. Love the immense amount of detail you put into this series. I would love to see the evolution of Turkish (Pre Ottoman Empire) uniforms evolution because videos regarding this eally lack on KZfaq.

I'm Japanese high school student, And I'm 17 years old. Recently, I'm watching world history videos because I like world history. Most Japanese high school students are supposed to take university entrance exams, I'm one of them. So, we must study English. There're other exam subjects,but I'm watching when I take a break. Do you think videos like this are important for training your English?

As soon as I saw this, I was hooked (in fact I study Japanese, so this looks cool)

Here we go again

Great video! Glad to see Japanese Military Uniforms being reviewed. Continue the great work! Please do Chinese Military Uniforms!

Loved this video, I'm dead where you added the power up block from Super Mario Bros... of course... gaming from Japan. And then you added Godzilla lol I'm dead...

All da stuff in the video is so good and it's very accurate

Loved the video, but I really hoped you would’ve made that extra information text for the uniforms and weapons more clear in the reupload.

Dude, today I was thinking that you should do a video about Japanese uniforms and you guys did it! You are awesome!

This video will be a great learning experience:)

btw Type1 cammo was called "Kuma-zasa(Sasa veitchii) pattern" by lots of JGSDF members,for your reference.

Wonderful video! You should try the Greek military uniforms from it's independence until the present.

A video on nations created after the second world war would be interesting. Examples: ROK, PRC, ROC, etc

Amazing! You did a lot of research. Even Japanese people do not know so much. Thanks you.
