🙏🙏

@Midnight Empress thanks! but how can you be sure? 🤔

@@Linfamy ooooooooooof

@@Linfamy was there ever a westerner who became a samurai

@@balthiersgirl2658 yes. Maybe a good video topic :)

Anytime you give up your weapons and hire someone else to use weapons for you, you risk a coup. (Or if you give your people no rights and they are starving to death ala French Revolution & Arab Spring)

Same with the Normans in southern Italy.

Res Publica same as the Praetorian Guards in Rome and the Jannisaries in the Ottoman Empire.

And the Almogavars.

Friday's great, his writing is also easy to understand.

😂

Ha..ha.......ha...........;-;

Of course not, he was the LAST samurai, not the first ;)

@Hoàng Nguyên ah gotcha, been a while since I watched it :)

@Hoàng Nguyên fittingly Katsumoto had Algren assist him with seppuku which was emblematic of the west killing the way of the samurai.

He was to busy packing at the fudge factory

I'm sure Hiroyuki Sanada was there though

😅 no shame you will be my hero if you put that on a business card

LOL she was interested in the Jomon I think. She's growing up to be a smart one ;)

@@Linfamy Doing my best for that here xD

Willa Wolfe no the cause was obviously being poor and too low of a social rank. Get your "science facts" out of here and look at reality!

@@randomasgray of course. Those who have little are bound to indulge indulge in the delicacies of the rich given the chance especially if they are being given free food.

It is =)

Yeah as far as I know it's "do" for way and "bushi" for warrior. So "The was of The warrior".

@@j.kessler1066 no, it's "Warrior's Way" or "Way of the Warrior".

Trischa S. oh yeah it's autocorrected. Sorry I meant 'way of the warrior' not "was of the warrior" 😅 Thank you for mentioning this mistake.

Samurai, Mononofu, and Bushi is same or difference ?

I did do past vids about the ninjas, you can look for them. You may not like what you hear though... :p

Can I have shout out

I think Linfamy has made the case that there were no ninja

Why not marry yourself INTO the Fujiwara clan?

oh my goodness

No, you're amazing

@@Linfamy thankyou 🙏

My videos make people fall asleep, got it 😂

Thanks ;)

mm hmm

I see the double Tiki pfp…I see you are a man of culture as well. Pls do not slay them tho.

@@Astavyastataa thank you. And no i wont slay the Tikis for they are my personal bodygaurds.

@@usvidragonslayer3091 Very good taste. Tiki is my top waifu. I actually draw art and post it online, especially a lot of Tiki. My Twitter/DeviantArt is @kalacakra108 if you want to check it out :D

Again? I should really read my "Korea used to be conquered" updates!

For honor, my brother!

woohoo

Love you too 💗

@@taloralexanderwilliams1477 thanks! I'm not a historian though, I just read books and papers from actual historians :)

What about now?

@@Linfamy I don't know about the seppku part but being a Samurai seem cool. But now I'm in the middle of wanting to be one and not wanting to be one.

@@soobindoll9767 I wanted to be a rockstar or an astronaut. Hasn't happened yet...

@@Linfamy It'll happening one day I believe in you

Hiiii

Yooo

Glad you like =)

In fairness if you can manage to reliably kill people with the BLUNT end of a spear you're probably a very useful person have on one's side on a battlefield.

@@BattyBigSister Funny enough, it turns out maces make pretty good weapons and they are blunt.

@@alex_zetsu I love maces! They're my favourites among ancient weaponry. 😊 But yeah, they're also usually heavily weighted to make killing/injuring people with them easier. A spear haft wouldn't necessarily be in the same way. It'd be more like a quarter staff, which is a useful weapon in your regular brawls; very good for knocking people about and controlling the space around you in a fight. A good weapon for self-defense, but lacking the immediate lethality of a stabby stabby end unless you really bludgeon the poor sod. This is why European peasants and clergy in the middle ages were permitted to carry them when they were denied swords etc. Though once you get into the weighted weaponry like maces that becomes pretty ridiculous pretty quickly. The effect of a heavy weight smashing up your bones is both more horrible and more likely to kill you than a simple stab wound in a non-vital area. Though obviously medically speaking both are very ill advised. I just meant though that if you can figure out how to reliably and quickly kill someone (in armour) with either end of your spear without breaking it, as opposed to just say knocking them back and away from you, then you have a pretty huge advantage over people sneaking up behind you with a sword or knife or another close combat weapon. You can dispatch them pretty quickly without the cumbersome task of turning your spear around, leaving you free to go back to skewering the unlucky folks in front of you before they can get any funny ideas about sticking it to you while you're distracted. AND you also don't have to worry about Sneaky McBackstabber picking himself up and coming in for round two, because he's too dead for that. I think some fancier spears did have smaller metal points on the haft end for this reason, but in general the extra metalwork's more expense than most lords would like for a mass-produced weapon you're handing over to peasant soldiers. Plus there's always the risk of your badly trained troops hurting themselves by accident. My original point was just that it does sound like a pretty decent battle tactic if you can make it work for you. I'm not sure how though without some "pressure point" magic or spending far too much time trying to choke or bludgeon one of your assailants, when what you should be doing is knocking the enemy to the rear back with your haft and then (assuming you're not armed with a dagger or something to quickly slash their throat while they're on the ground/you've not got time to do that) retreating to a point where you can once again use the full arch of your spear to control the area of the battlefield around you and attack ALL your opponents, not just those one one side. It wasn't so much about the weapon being blunt as the breaking the constraints of reality involved and frankly I'd always advocate for being on the side of the person who can do magic. It's just good common sense.

The fuk happened in Han Ling's case???

@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Massive religious uprising called the Yellow Turban Rebellion threatened to overthrow the Han dynasty. The Ling Emperor’s armies weren’t up to the task so he called on local government officials and generals to raise their own forces and fight them off, which they did. But this destabilized the central government eventually leading to the collapse of the Han and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms Period

I'm pretty good, just woke up and responding to comments 💗

Thank you, glad you like =)

LMAO 😂

Rise of gundams?

@@Linfamy 👍

Haha nice. Ah, but you know that Edo sickness = beriberi

o.O

Started out as a hobby

:p

It's those high-ranking monks hogging all the good stuff I see

@@Linfamy Pretty much that! Mokugen-san told me that the higher their rank, the more them monks eat and drink everything they can get their monastic hands on, including tons of sake

@@potatoespotatos someone should tell them if they stopped being monks, they could also eat and drink whatever they wanted :p

How did I make your day?

Because learning The japanese history makes me to learn more about it

@@NoirTheWeird 😁👍

Well, it's hard work but I'm sure if you pole the employees, they'd say it fills the hole in their hearts. There have been some cutbacks lately tho, you really need a large staff for this profession.

YOU WIN!!! 🎉🎉 Shoot me an email at linfamy1 @ gmail.com to claim your prize =)

Yay thanks!

Yep, it's the same bushi in bushido =)

So the Japanese praetorian guards then??? Well, at least they didn't dare to commit regicide whenever kuso happened

😅

FF7... :p

Good person. What are you volunteering for?

Linfamy I’m volunteering at a soup kitchen in Brentwood, Long Island for confirmation requirements and also Boy Scouts
