"Never Surrender" "Ok" "The war is over, we surrendered" "What"

"is the war over yet?" "which war? WW2?" "THERE WAS A SECOND ONE?"

"the War is over!" Japanese Soldiers" I missed the part where that's my problem"

I couldn’t imagine leaving midst a warrior culture only to come back to anime. The horror they must have felt.

"Lived till 91" my man really had orders to not die

If anything, can we appreciate the fact that those two old Japanese guys were able to survive in the wild for 60 years?

I love how your two main sponsors basically combat one another... Keeps and Manscaped. One does its best to grow it back, the other does its best to shave it all back off.

I'm a Filipino and my late grandmother used to tell us stories about how brutal Japanese soldiers were during the war. She and her parents used to hide inside caves to avoid being detected by Japanese soldiers. She died in 2016 at the age of 94.

Imagine going back to your country after 60 years and seeing that banzai has turned to kawaii

I gotta say, as a Filipino, surviving in our jungles for THAT long is impressive

Can we appreciate the survivel skills of this soilders. And 60 years of stranding guard while the orher sleept.

i remember how thoughty2 showed me my inner history nerd and I'm now in my last year of highschool ready to chase that history educator degree. thanks mate

This man teaches me more than my history teacher

If you’re in the jungle for 60 years, you’re hiding from the war, not fighting it. And I don’t blame them a bit.

To give you an idea on how paranoid Hiroo Onoda was. In his book he states the Japanese search parties sent his brother to the island, who he noticed but could not get close enough to see his face. Before leaving his brother sang a song from their childhood, this almost convinced Hiroo Onoda that this was actually his brother. Unfortunately his brothers voice cracked at the end of the song, meaning Hiroo thought "the imposter revealed his real voice at the end". So basically, Hiroo Onoda thought his actual brother was an imposter of his brother because of a voice crack.

I can't imagine how crazy it must have been thinking you were in a war, losing track of time, you stumble upon someone and are confused why they look, why everything around you looks so different from what you remember, and you realize, you've been missing for 60 years

Moral of the story: Every story ends in death.

"Don't die, never surrender." And these guys made that seem like a wish from the Monkey's Paw.

“With a nervous twitch in his right arm.” I gotta admit I cracked up when I heard that line haha

Saying they are still "fighting today" is a bit of a stretch. I thought there was some obscure nation still engulfed in a war started by wwii

pamplet from air: "War is over" japanese soldier "no way" paphlet with family photo "Dude look war is over your family is here". japanese soldier "no way". poor philipino farmer before being murder "But sr war is over!!!" japanese soldier. "no way". General comes 30 years later: "Soldier war is over " Japanese soldier. "Understandable have a nice day"

Love how out of all people he’s trying to sell us ball shavers 😂😂😂 Gold

Any Vet from a war fights it every day they live.....it never ends for them.

Well, they just did their duty as it was understood to be. Imperial Japan was what it was, the Japan of 2021 a very very different place.

Everyone: "Wow, this is a really interesting video!" Me: *"Ball toner."*

Robinson Crusoe returned to civilization, looked around, said " F*CK it!" and went back to his island. Wanted to live a long life apparently.

It would have been instructive to have included these returning warriors' reactions to modern Japanese society. Onoda, for one, had some bitter words on the subject. For these soldiers were abundantly supplied with what Nietzsche called "those foursquare virtues that cause us to hold our grandfathers in honor -- and at arm's length!"

"They have watches, we have the time" (Taliban leader regarding the American invasion of Afghanistan.)

I thought the last surviving Japanese soldier was forced to surrender by his old commander in 1974?

Internet Explorer: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary.

I love the animations!!!!!! They really bring the story to life

Japan received and did some of the most brutal war crimes earth has ever witnessed. They are the only country to have been attacked by a nuclear bomb but were extremely brutal to people from other country’s.

Those Japanese soilders were downright sadistic. Look up The Nanking Massacre. In just one incident. Two Japanese officers held a contest. To see who could behead 100 civilians first.

Bro, 60 years. It took them 60 years to finally want to go out of the forest. That's a bruh moment real big.

"These japanese soldiers stayed hidden for 60 years..." "So today's sponsor is Manscaped! :) "

I’m reading your book, Stick a Flag in It. My granddaughter bought me it for Christmas. It’s your videos in book format and I’m loving it!

Imagine thinking your war hadn’t ended for 60 years, imagine a war like ww2 for 60 years, if this has actually happened I don’t think we’d have survived

the fact that he is trying so hard not to laugh about marketing ball cologne is just gold,.... haha happy fathers day

This guy would be the best history teacher.

That was a good video I enjoyed it 👍👍... I just found this channel I'm finna binge so far so good

I love how he is trying to keep a straight face throughout the entire sponsorship segment

Original title: "Meet the Soldiers Who are Still Fighting WWII Today"

You sir are the perfect advertiser for manscape. Don't know why but I just can't think of anybody else doing it better.

Currently being stationed on Guam. It absolutely baffles me that Shoichi Yokoi had not been discovered for so long. This place truly is tiny

Wow this is an interesting video. Although Japan was our enemy during the war I cant help but admire the absolute dedication and fortitude of these men. Harder than nails for sure. My grandfather used to tell me stories about the war. Him and all his brothers volunteered. All but one came home. I cant imagine how they came home and went on about their lives and maintained as well as they did. The things they did and saw and survived. It would break most from my generation and later I believe. They really were the greatest generation. My grandfather went on to serve in Korea, and was still in the military when Vietnam started however he didnt serve in the war itself. He finally retired. He was among the last class of enlisted aviators before they required pilots to be commissioned officers. He was at some point a machine gunner where he got a purple heart from a bullet that came through and grazed the side of his head and I know he served with crews on B24s and B17s. He served in the navy and later the air force. I know he also was part of another squadron but I'm not sure what the aircraft was. Truly amazing men and women from those days. Much respect.

Lol best sponsored ad section ever. With a crazy wry smile

14:40 FINELY!! I see so many videos about Japanese solders hiding in the jungles and forests yet I have almost never seen his story unless I look for it. I lived on Guam for 10 years and saw the museum that kept a lot of his stuff. It also had other war vehicles. To it was a nice drive through hundreds of bamboo which where enormous

Most craziest part of it all is that they went 60 years without any contact from command nor see or hear any air strikes see any combat yet still think that there's a war still going on for !!60 YEARS!! Im giving my age away here but that's like twice as long as i been alive

Somehow I admire these guys for never giving up

Best line ever: "a European with a nervous arm twitch" (paraphrasing)

love the vid and enjoying your podcast!

I Remember the Onadan story there were films anout him when I would go to the Theatres in Naha, Okinawa. I was very much in a state of wonder that anyone would holdout for so long.

Those one thousand who jumped off Saipan were actually civilians- fed propaganda that US Army and marines ate babies, women, and killed men they ran from the military in fear and continued to jump even while translators and Japanese speakers tried to convince them not to

they must've hit the strongest blunt of all time

I never heard that it was so many, I always thought it was just one or two, great video, would make for a good movie

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

"If fighting is assured to result in victory then we must fight! Sun Tzu said that! And I'd say that he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal because HE INVENTED IT! And he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor!"

You just uploaded this and there’s already dislikes!!?? Some people are really on the planet for no reason…

Hello from Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean 🇹🇹 massive respect!!!💯

I always hear this story from my Grandpa and now that I know that this is true, I was amazed.

I see that the insane stubbornness and willpower anime usually portray in japanese isn't an exaggeration. *cough* Hajime no Ippo *cough*

We were just minding our own business when the Americans suddenly started dropping nukes on us. - Japanese History books

Great videos! Nice ☝🏽

I know this happened, because I saw it happen to Steve Austin, a former astronaut who in the 1970's parachuted from his damaged plane onto a remote pacific island occupied by a Japanese soldier, still fighting. I did NOT know that so many Japanese soldiers fought with American M1 Garand rifles, or that American B-29 crews carried Japanese Nambu pistols. Must have been an exchange program going on in secret.

I've recently missed my deadline for final exams in highschool because I didn't listen to a voice message on Viber that my teacher had sent in the group chat. I feel much better knowing that there are people put there much dinner than I am...

Why do people dislike this video when he has such a good mustage

My wife is from Indonesia and her grandmother and great grandmother told some pretty rough stories about the Japanese after the Dutch lost control of Indonesia during the second world war

holy shit every person in this video who survived lived to at least 80. I'd be happy if I live to 50

I mean at this point those dudes are just vacationing

If all history teachers were like this, more students would be more passionate about learning, for sure! 👌♥️🇵🇭

I knew about this, but I thought it was one or two cases. I had no idea how bad it really was. But one must admire this guy - he was ordered not to die, so he never did.

I would love to hear the dialogue how they convice these soldiers that war was over. They also could give some details about the history of japanese army.

*It's really great that you have a Podcast now. I've been a follower here on KZfaq for around a year at this point, and I enjoy listening to your videos at home, driving and most of the time I listen at work. Now I'll keep enjoying your content. Great information and factually precise unlike others. Keep up the good work!*

Rest of the soldiers of WW2: I'm going home to my wife and children Japanese soldiers: Imma say here in the jungle

Wow...just, wow. The human spirit never ceases to astound me!

Him and mr.terry make my KZfaq watching experience so much better

their loyalty to their country is almost frightening

Where did they get their supplies from? 60 years worth of bullets? 60 years worth of cleaning supplies for their weapons? 60 years worth of food? I find it very hard to believe stories like this. For any soldier, once the ammo stops coming, you have to ask yourself "Am I still getting paid for this?"

I've seen many KZfaqrs promote Manscaped...but no one can do it like Thoughty2😂💔

My great grandpa Franklin was on the navy base in Guam when those people came there he said that they had them sing God Bless America when they got back, actually he was on the ship.

In wow3 they are gonna emerge and say,"told ya so"

Maybe the real war was inside us all along

I mean this in the best way possible but you are like the most gently gentleman I've came across online stay with it my guy I fw it

Of all the things I have learned from this channel, my favorite is how in the UK "just about" means something was just barely achieved while in the US it means something was just barely not achieved. Example @11:53.

Good history lesson. And military dedication

The two men have were living with Muslim rebel groups on Mindanao. One was even married to a local.

Why does he look like he's trying his best to not burst into laughter when making the ad for ball shavers 🤣

The same thing happened to a bunch of Vietnamese soldiers after the Vietnam war in the jungle. When local people found them, they (the soldiers) couldnt believe that the war had ended and they thought that the commanders didnt receive the letter that they sent and other sad stuffs.

Every time i hear this story i just think "they dont make em like they used to" since most people arent that loyal or sturdy to fight a war for 60 years

6:57 This is true and my great grandma (( whos still alive today )) actually had to watch her brother be mauled by dogs while being hung on a tree

Y’know Your skills of telling stories is like the skills of MrBallen’s Except I can sleep after watching your videos

16:11moral there don't F with fisherman

Him: "masculine" Me using Manscaped for thighs: *yeah*

imagine being lost in a jungle and then came back to find out that your fearless country is now associated with anime and cute characters lmao

normally people would only talk about onoda, this video is impressive.

Japan 1900: WE WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END Japan 2020: Sugoi uwu, yamate kudesai

Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter-NCR soldier
