The most annoying thing in Shogun 2: Watching these scenes all the way through, and being like "All right! That stupid character that's been giving me hell for months is finally dead!" And then you close the video and the game's just like "Wounded." Apparently my ninja planted that knife in his nose rather than his head.

Moral of the story - Don't be a general writing fanfiction at night alone, or else you're fucked.

It made me sad when Rome 2 took out the cinematics, it made the game feel more alive somehow, watching the tense clips, praying that your assassin isn't discovered or killed. The memories....

Never have dinner,write or strategize under trees ninjas might be lurking there

The last general sure gave the ninja a run for his money

4:56 Shinobi: "Hello There!" *throws a knife/kunai* Daimyo/target: *blocks thrown object* "Aaaaah General Shinobi!"

that last guy did the best...

Been playing recently. I had this ninja who literally failed every single mission and some how buddy kept surviving. In the end I sent him back to the Mizu Shobai district to live out his last remaining years in peace. 😎

4:59 I've been expecting you!

that daimyo on the last assasination was badass blocked a knife with a fan

1:22 "Yes, I heard you, assassin. But I owed that guy some money, so..."

0:21 - It's the Dojo of Scotland!

3:37 Dont worry man we all dream about our waifus ;)

4:47 stealth in skyrim

Somehow, the strategy meeting assassination was just hilarious with how oblivious everyone was.

4:45 Camouflage.

4:08-4:28 Ok, not sure if that was the dumbest thing I ever saw an assassin do, or the ballsiest.

4:56 Shinobi: Omae wa, mou shinderu! *_Daimyo blocks throwing knife_* Shinobi: _NANI!?_

"hey let's dress up as a ninja so they know my intention"

These cinematics are very soothing and entertaining at the same time! Quiet, summer cricket background music, quiet stealth, and more creates the perfect calming down factor! I recommend this to anyone frustrated or tense who wants to blow off steam!

I'm no expert, yet here's my favourite and why: The one poisoning water by use of a nigh invisible smooth thread. If trained well, the Ninja can: 1) Remain hidden whilst killing the target 2) Target has a high chance of not noticing it, whether there be a bodyguard near or not. 3) No noise except from target's last breath 4) If investigated, chances are highest that they mistake it for a natural death, as there is no blood marks or signs of a fight. 5) Ninja can stay hidden even if a bodyguard saw the death of the one he was supposed to protect. So in short, I like that version best because it is way more secretive, just as effective as a sharp blade, no need for killing guards along the way (you can climb in the tree, this takes no killing of guards I assume xD ), and the confusion is the highest! It is not certain whether he was assassinated until after much uncertain examinations - and in war, a delayed army can prove disastrous! As Napoleon once stated; "battles are won and lost in the matter of an hour".

This is why the next Assassin's Creed should be set in feudal Japan!

3:08 So we’re just gonna gloss over the ninja killing a daimyo with a goddamn Rider Kick?

4:41 Literally Skyrim logc in a nutshell .

The last guy was fucking amazing. Mine failed and ran away at that point.

4:31 Ninja's like: These guys are dumbasses!

1:36 "huO? huo? huuoo?? huo?"

Good ASMR background sounds. Chills me down everytime.

Your Ninja can kill someone for good, and it depends on the individual ninja's own skills and your clan's bonus + chi arts development. I had a highly skilled one that was extremely deadly that I sent ahead of my armies to kill important generals / daimyo. He got good enough that his strategic map model and 3d portrait showed him with a badass horned oni (demon) mask.

3:34 never ceases to make me LMAO.

0:55 he just leaves the knife in the blade? No wonder it costs the same as recruiting 300 samurai to have a guy I already pay to kill one guy, those must be really nice blades!

4:58 - 5:00 did the knife just switch places?

Assassins creed : shogun era

2:01 top 10 best anime fight

3:07 I almost had had heart attack from laughing.

Ninja with 10 stealth points

He definitely saved the best one till last. That last one is always my favorite.

these are easily my favorite part of the game. they're either incredibly impressive or downright funny with how he fails sometimes, and many generally go the same way so its a surprise for if its successful or not. its great.

4:47 Ninja: Oh, wow, I can't believe that worked. Guard: Yea, I'm just totally going to pretend I didn't see that guy. I don't get paid enough to risk my damn life!

3:39 lol

Speaking as a Japanese, the decorations that appear in this game are historically wrong. For example, the word “shogun” is written in kanji on the lantern in the movie. However, historically, family crest were drawn on the flags and lanterns. Kanji are rarely drawn on them.

WOW. That last one especially, thank you for these! I hope u continue to capture the rest of the agents as well as the game releases. These are awsome!

The poison drop in the sake is something else.

still wish for a feudal japan theme assassins creed game

3:44 wouldn't it've been hilarious if when the ninja accidentally tripped on that guard and the guard said(in Japanese language with subtitles)"leave me alone, mom, I don't wanna go to school"

3:16 THIS IS SPARTA!

First of all, I believe Ninja would often wear just regular attire, but obviously nothing too eye-catching so they would not rouse suspicion. Secondly Ninja weren't really from a particular clan, but mostly they had their own clans, isolated in the mountains, each member would be trained and have knowledge passed down to them from a very early age, it was almost as students of other Japanese arts like Bushido or Chi would isolate themselves to perfect the art. Their art was named Ninjutsu.

3:41 Those are some serious heavy sleepers.

In the one where the target's body fell on the map it would of been cooler if his head got got cut off and rolled onto it

This is the true art of shinobi ninjas always stealthy no noise avoided and only hides in the dark and the shadows

That Last general probably said "If you want to kill me, do it honourable! Prepare yourself!" and then the ninja trows an flash grenade lol

I just started watching your videos and they look so good give you a feeling of what people used to do back then so I like those little like a little history kind of type thank you

After watching the "fail" videos, I can't help but laugh every time I view an assassination and think of the corresponding failure.

As a matter of fact, Ninja rarely needed any weapon, instead they used devices to escape from the their enemies if they were found out, such as, smoke bombs, cards, flash bombs, caltrops and many other instruments to slow down, disorientate or even incapacitate their pursuers. But if they did have a weapon it would be Shuriken as I've mentioned before. In relation to what colour they wore, it is quite a long story I could tell you but I'll try and break it down in another comment. (No more room)

I remember in the first shogun, when a geisha assassinated a monk by strangling him with his Rosary.

I would have loved for this to be in total war warhammer aswell. Seeing a gobling hero try and sneak into a Empire camp , could have been so much fun.

3:18 falcon kick always works

They should have one more thing to this. I notice that the ninjas sometimes detected after the assassination, so they should have additional parts if the ninja fails to escape after the assassination. That would be kinda more realistic, since the assassination is a success, but if your ninja fails to escape, you lose a ninja.

Best part is how these vids keep you guessing until the very very end with the result, I've seen the fails.

When you fail 80% chance and saw my ninja accidently fall in cutscene

5:06 The earliest form of flashbang

I love it how the one guard decides to check ONE side of the wall, then casually walks off... it's especially funny since his ninja skills make the guards look retarded... I swear the ninja would need an extra year of training just so he wouldn't laugh at the guards' stupidity.

these cutscenes are the reason, why i love shogun 2 so much

My first prized ninja: Momodi. I was being pushed back by the Takeda Shogunate, my forces were barely half of Takeda's, but Momodi evened the odds. He successfully assassinated the General, the Damiyo, and his heir all in three turns. Made up from the initial years of constant blundering XD

I would love a game about doing these kind of assassinations. Complete stealth game, unlike most ninja games where you kill everything in your way Ninja Gaiden style. Splinter Cell with ninjas instead. Would be awesome.

4:58 That's some Matrix shit there

Something about scaling a wall just to stab someone gives me serious crackhead vibes

2:35 That one's pretty clever not gonna lie. I never even thought of that

@Chubbypunch Thank you! I googled that and found that it is called a "gunbai" - it is a special Japanese war fan used for communication. Here's a short description for anyone interested: The gunbai is a solid metal war fan used by samurai officers to communicate commands to their troops. The gunbai-uchiwa version was typically rounded in shape and stiff with a prolonged grip, and could also be used as weapon using the handle to strike and the stiff fan to block with.

shit like this was needed for rome 2

I love the aesthetic of the CG in this game

actually there were many ninja fails too thx for uploading both scenes :D

4:20 SPIDERMAN 🤣🤣

For those, who are pissed at "Wounding the guy instead of killing him", its because in history, lower man killing a nobleman in Japan was really dishonorable, that even assassins would be ashamed

Thank you so much for this, I got so bored of seeing the same one over and over (it was always the "stab in the bed" one, except for once or twice where I got the "stab through the wall" one) in the hopes of getting some more interesting ones. This way, I can just skip them all, and watch them here.

3:30 made me laugh so hard

4:24 HOW DID THEY NOT SEE HIM?!?!?!!?!?

The one in which the samurai grabs his leg dreaming he's grasping his wife will never not be funny to me. The way the ninja looks at him like "fuck, are yoy serious?" And then immediately falls on top of another guy without waking him up. This has got to be both the luckest and unluckiest assassin ever.

4:45 “shiiiiiiiit the ninja is here and I only got this fucking lamp on me!!! I better look the other way and keep walking”

Interesting cinematic that isn't shown here, I was playing Shogun 2 yesterday and it turns out that the poison in the drink won't always work, if your Assassin's target sniffs the drink, the samurai will throw it and freak out (I think). But I think you ninja escapes unnoticed. And with the fail compilation, it fails to show the escape scene after waking up the Samurai company. Its rare, but after your ninja drops caltrops, one to three samurai will fall down due to the caltdrops, but one samurai will stop and throw a knife into your ninja.

03:38 Well, that was awkward.

2:30 NEVER DRINK IN THE OPEN! That last one was too amazing to be true haha.

Travel light, kill as efficiently as possible, and always make certain to leave no trace of you behind. Those are the three primary rules of being a ninja.

If I were to sneak in enemy camp, I will dress up like a enemy soldier, or maybe a servant. Who the heck dress up like a ninja when doing assassination?

Ninjas rocks

Thank you for replying to my comment, first of all. Secondly, it's good to see another person (and Fallout fan) interested in this era of history and you and I are clearly not the "average person" that takes everything at face value such as Ninja being "super warriors" as they are portrayed in Film and many computer games. I am definitely not an expert in this subject but a little research can go a long way.

The one at the end goes to the shinobi, the daimyo suffered temporary blindness from the grenade flash and his eyesight didn't recover soon enough.

03:38 INSERT J-POP IDOL HERE.

You know Ninja never really wore black, and they were very rarely used as assassins, they were more common as spies and informers. Their weapons were usually a regular katana as they were the highest quality weapon in Japan at the time, not the shortened Ninjato as they are often seen using, but they would use Shuriken: Darts, Stars or other throwing implements to kill or injure any enemies. Just thought you all might find this interesting. :)

When the ninja slit the general’s throat from the tree, I was like, “how tf did you guys not see that?! You let your master die on your watch! This means death for you”🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Always save before sending your ninja in. Otherwise they fail.

Fucking ninjas always killing my guys :/

Man,he's a ninja.No one can see a ninja,but a ninja can see you.

You are a very intelligent person...Very good,very good...

Watching this after having watched the "Ninja fail" compilation is like, "So this is how Otacon remembers it happening."

I hear Taiko drums every time i see this, like in Warframe.

Who does have this video in recomended after watching The Shadow & The Blade DLC trailer?

when he hangs from tree to kill the lord he climbs back up to wait for the two generals to say "musta been the wind"

That last really thought daimyo was the first ninja cinematic I got

Dem ninjas
