"everybody's so creative! 👏😀" im cryingg 💀💀

All the bondage stuff nowadays is just safe torture of old 😭

What do you mean humans “were” barbaric? That never went away.

Fun fact. Ishidaki and Whipping weren't considered to be torture by law in the Edo period. They were Roumon (Prisoner blaming). It was illegal to torture women but it wasn't illegal to "prisoner blame" them.

Growing up, I had a punishment similar to the ishidaki one. Instead, we have our knees on rocks and have books in our hands with my arms raised. I couldn't let them fall below 90 degrees. If it happened, I would get beaten and restarted the timer. When I grew up, I realized I wasn't the only one. Most came from military families.

09:30 Out of curiosity, I tried to find out whether Bamboo would be sharp enough to penetrate a human body, only after I looked up the speed of which bamboo grows per day, which turns out to be a shocking 35 to 40 inches. If the human was places directly on top of the bamboo sprouts, it would likely take less than a day, maybe even less than half a day, for the human to die. That is, of course, assuming that the ropes or tie points weren't loose, allowing the body to be lifted up by the bamboo before it going taunt enough for the bamboo to finally pierce through the skin and penetrate the body.

its always a good day when akidearest posts.

It makes you wonder who's twisted mind thought of these things 😭😭

Aki: Luckily I'll never have to go through stone hugging! Next video: I bought a stone hugging board from Etsy

1:14 The rich Robin hood and Goemon "stole" from were not random rich people,but people of the government or affiliated with the state,so they were more like getting the money of the tax payer back to them.

Stone hugging seems like the least amount of pain compared to being impaled by bamboo or boiled alive. I’ve been in one hot spring where the water was so hot that I couldn’t even step foot in it. That was definitely an experience I never wanted to go through again. 😖

I can’t believe my country, the Philippines was mentioned here! I went to a catholic school and when we would pray the Rosary one of the figures we would carry our prayers to at the end was “St. Lorenzo Ruiz and his companion martyrs”

the bamboo torture is used by the Siam Army during the The Enemy Whisper War (1821-1842) between Siam and Kedah (modern day state of Malaysia)

Rip to Oden 😭

Hard to beat unit 731. They did some of the most inhumane and brutal stuff known to man. 5:56 Specifically this part known as de gloving. Were they literally take the skin and muscle off your hands and arms after you go through a process. No going back after that.

Bruh imagine Stone Hugging but instead of kneeling on jagged pieces of wood it’s just horizontally folded metal _Razor_ scooters in a row lying down on their sides 💀💀💀

Being the Robin Hood of Japan. Then being boiled alive along with your sone. Then having a one person tub being named after you inspired by how you died. I don’t know if that’s supposed to be in honor, or dishonor?

In unit 731 you forgot to mention that they would take infants and lay them in snow during the winter to see how long it takes for them to die in the snow. That was the experiment too, they don't even mention where tf they got the infants to torture.

WHEN HE CUT OFF HER HANDS I SCREAMED

Q: How do you want to die. A: Old age far from here.

I love how Aki's channel went through the same character arc I did through the ages of 12 to 18: From wholesome anime appreciation to creepy/mildly interesting japanese stuff

5:04 The version I heard when I was young was that the Bamboo spouts would be sharpen and they would let them grow underneath your fingernails.

The idea of the whole situation of Lorenzo Ruis is so new to me honestly. I am a Filipino and I was today years old when I heard this. Very intriguing

If they leave the question of "How would you like to die?" open enough? Allow me to invoke Monty Python...

I pick stone hugging. I have iron deficiency anima. Low blood iron. The pressure on my legs would cut off my circulation. The anima plus no circulation might cause me to pass out before I die.

There so much ethical dilemma wrapped up in medical care for frostbite, as pretty much everything we know about what frostbite does to the human body is due to Unit 731.

No one ever expects the Spanish inquisition

To be honest, I agree with Aki, I would rather have my legs paralyzed than dealing with bamboos slowly piercing my body 😨

I am a simple person. I see Akidearest and I click

YAAAAY NEW AKI VIDEO i´m so happy , thank you aki for todays video

"I would rather do the stone hugging. Luckly, I don't think I have to go through that" this aged magnificently

Wow... I knew most of this except for hole hanging. That's just... horrific. Good presentation of some bad ways to end it all. Be careful out there, Aki.

6:14 as a UK resident we don't really learn about the atrocities committed by the British empire in its rise to domination. it's good things yes, it's bad things no. it's not cool, this type of stuff should be discussed

I'm so happy your videos always come before bedtime from me :) thank youuu :3

Same here with Stone Hugging.

Another good post i hope you get 10 millon

The minute you said boiling caldron I immediately thought of Goemon

The bamboo one actually scares the shit out of me, god i get shivers from stuff like that

Just to add to the gruesomeness of a hero being named after the bath he was boiled in. See Catherine wheels! pretty spinning fireworks but in fact the way in which St Catherine made her end! having her limbs broken and threaded through a big wagon style wheel!

this is truly a WTF Japan video

i wonder if the boiling one is what inspired oden's character from one piece.

aki doing mostly only creepy stuff nowadays makes me so happy and I'm glad I decided to come back ❤

Keep up the awesome work and videos Aki love the video

When I thought nothing could be worse thn being boiled alive thn it just keep getting worse💀 5:47 That’s terrifying…imagine seeing in person and hearing the screams..

I've known the story of Lorenzo Ruiz since childhood, people would always say that he died for his faith. They totally omitted the fact that it all happened in Japan. Woah 🤯

Wish me luck because I am watching this before I sleep.

Now her latest video has her trying the stone hugging.

1:57 NEGIMA?!

I kinda wanted one of those tubs out under our gazebo, but now I think I'm good with just a normal hottub situation. Thanks? You at least saved me some cash, I suppose.

Jag älskar din kanal akiderest!! Edit Swedish to English translation “I love your channel akidearest!!”

These forms of torture make the Spanish Inquisition look like a math test.

4:16, there's a mini _portable_ version, for when you're _on the go._ 🤦‍♀

Ishikawa was probably an inspiration for Oden in One Piece

I dont think theres a more f'd up one than unit 731. This includes so many terrible things.

5:00 when your mom said: go touch grass

When she said you avoided getting stoned actually made me start to giggle bc of the meaning of being stoned

I shouldn’t have watched this before bed but here we are

Death by snu snu.

No you don't. So true. Fantasy is not anything like the horrific reality of life in the past. I wouldn't even want my grandmother--or my mother's--life. Lovely contact. Enjoyed it immensely--in spite of the horrific methods of bringing people 's lives to an end.

1:09 saw this in One Piece Wano Arc.

everybody so creative 😭🔥🔥🔥

Playing Tengoku Struggle atm and thought of Goemon as soon as you said "boiled alive". I don't think I could ever get in a Goemonburo either, I guess there is such a thing as knowing too much 😔

You have to remember with Stone Hugging there is a good chance your bones would start breaking bones and causing blood vessels to rupture with just 4 of those stones you would have close to 200kg or 440 lbs on your legs at least with the original version of it and not the bdsm kink version

4:04 I was literally about to say it myself that yes this is used in BDSM, but also in the most respectful ways, but I was about to say this is also another common tactic for parents in general to do something quite like it, which is almost the opposite and it is also used in kink as well, but it was more of a punishment for me and it was to kneel on something really pointy or sharp something like what was used in this frame but also it could be beads. It could be a necklace. It could be rocks anything that was small enough to hurt your knees.

Theres people denied that Earth is Round, Aki.

Like....i get the people that like LOVE Japan right? Its a beautiful country, they have such a rich history and cuisines and to experience it would be phenomenal. But to the level that I've been seeing where people deny their war crimes and sheer lack of human rights in history is not ok. You can like the country and want to know more but don't deny the actions they've committed just because you didn't like them or don't want to believe them. Obviously, don't like hold the current generation responsible but acknowledge that it happened.

Heyyy Ishikawa goemon sounds lot more similar to Kazuki Odin from one piece anime maybe the character is inspired from him ?

Never forget how you convinced me to read KS at 12, I didn't know what yaoi is and i thought he looked like levi which made me watch it. I am now 17, turning 18, forever traumatized.

That scene in the crucible is one of the only historically accurate things about that play/movie. I'm from Massachusetts. That dude is a local hero around here.

Good video! If I may suggest you should do one on the Okinawan witch trials.

so thats the reference oda added to Oden

9:15 that is the question now would you rather live but in intense pain or just give up and go out as quick as you can so you don't suffer.

I've seen a film adaptation of Lorenzo Ruiz back when I was in catholic school, it was really disturbing to see and tragic.

✨ Everybody is so creative ✨

Interesting to watch before going to sleep 😅

Bamboo torture exist in my country back in time. The victim die due to blood lost before the bamboo not even 1 inch inside body. Also the victim usually put in stand up position instead laying on the back.

Nice! Thanks for the info.

Right after KallmeKris! what a week!

I agree with Akidearest in the intro video. Anyone who knows exact history would never say “ I wish I was born in that time period.” never!!! Because it was horrendous! These ppl whoever invented these torture devices ain’t human but bunch of psychopaths or something.

Quick question - Just wanted to check - Is there a difference between torture methods and execution methods. I always thought torture methods were designed to get someone to talk and sometimes (probably often) resulted in death while execution methods were designed for well... the obvious purpose. Particularly with the boiling alive example that seems to have the intention of ending a life while the stone hugging seems more like a torture method with a high chance of ending a life. I think pressing is an example of a torture method as it was intended to get people to confess things but of course it usually ended ... badly. While of course there are dozens of execution methods throughout history that are designed for that purpose.

Hole Hanging? I learned something like that from Torture Sommelier!

I went to a catholic school up until high school and we'd celebrate saint Lorenzo Ruiz's feast day every year with several novena masses during the month of October or September (it's been about 7 years since I've graduated highschool and our school's church was deconsecrated by the diocese of our city so we can't celebrate mass there anymore unless it's for a school event). But in all that time I was at that school, we were never told about how he passed away. Well now I know

Thank you for talking about the war crimes and torture that Japan has committed. Not many people are aware of it.

Hold on, is that Chris Broad at 1:42?

I question myself on how I sleep every night…

So that's were One Piece got the Oden boiling torture scene 😮

I know of Goemon because of Lupin The Third. Very clever on Monkey Punch’s part to make the pure Japanese thief (Lupin is half via his mom and it’s unknown how much Japanese Jigen and Fujiko have) be that man’s descendent.

Okay this is actually cool to learn but sad too to hear about 😮😮

We should, however, not be held accountable for acts committed by our moronic ancestors.

Imo, Unit 731 and Nanking are the worst things to happen in hunan history. But the stone hugging could kill you through a phenomenon called crush syndrome.

Hole hanging sounds terrible if you get infection while doing that is probably worse than death

6:10 shinzo abe had a great deal in covering up / white washing Unit 731 (with support of the USA). His grandfather was affiliated with Unit 731 in WW2

Hello Aki, another banger👏🏻👏🏻

I was in shock the whole time

Unit 731 has STD that they were studying. So um, unless you want to be SA'd by another captured person, who's being forced to SA you, I'd recommend ANYTHING but that lmao WWII has always intrigued me, especially Japan, Germany, and Russia. I'm Australian, so I was taught in schools all about Germany versus the Allies, but honestly, America, Australia, England, France, And every other country on that side are all still in the wrong, yet they're made out like the good guys. In WWII, there were no 'good guys'. Just the winners and the losers. It's the same with most wars. Only time there is a good or bad, is when it isn't a war, but instead just annihilation.

4:13 yup, many of the current BDSM gear, forniture, and practices have roots on both western and eastern torture and restraining methods.

Dis the goemon story remind anyone of Oden from one piece

Japan with WW2 genuinely infuriates me. The fact that no one is taught it and Japan still on large denies it and does not teach it. Japan was almost worse than Germany in WW2. Unit 731 and Nijing truly is disturbing.

Rigid is pronounced rid-jed, btw. Sorry, I did a double take when I heard rigghid.

The bamboo torture is true. My great grandfather had bamboo shoved up his finger nails when he was a prisoner of the Japanese.
