Kamikaze pilot: survives Commander: "You had one job🤦‍♂️"

Pilot: We dont have any missiles, sire. Commander: No, *you* are the missile.

Imagine how confused the allies would be on the first kamikaze attack. They were just dogfighting some enemies and suddenly the enemies just went straight down

I (from USA) was living in Japan and visiting Kyoto with my (Japanese) wife and British boss. We got in a taxi and the driver was a kamikaze pilot who never took off. He sat in his plane on the runway and eventually they told them to move the planes back. His description of all that was so powerful. The war ended that day. He was really cool and I'm so glad we met him.

Commander: *"You'll respawn I promise."*

Pilot: “Emperor, I have returned from my kamikaze mission.” Emperor: “wait wha-” Pilot: “what”

pilot: sir we are out of ammo. commander : you are the bullet

They should make a movie about this dude. Trying to kamikaze 3 times and having divine intervention and being on a stranded island for 10 weeks. Thats crazy. Perfect formula for a movie especially knowing the aftermath

Kamikaze: Didn't die Goes back to Japan: *Dies* anyway

Pilot: "I completed my mission sir" Commander: "Great Job, I'm proud of yo... wait what ?!" Pilot: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If a Kamikaze pilot survives, he has to fight godzilla

I was stationed in Japan from 1966 to 1969 and met a Kamikazi pilot. He was injured on takeoff and was hospitalized until the war ended. He said he was ashamed at first for not completing his mission. However, later he realized it was a futile attempt by the military at the time.

Emporer: what will you do now? Kamikaze: I don't know, I didn't think I'd get this far

“Sir, we’ve run out of ammunition”, Sir:”You are the ammunition”

My grandfather was a kamikaze pilot and was recruited 1 week before the war ended at the age of 16 years old. He got no kills, was willing to die for his country and survived. He never went on any missions and only received training. He said he didn’t know what he was thinking and shortly died of natural causes after I was born. He was an epic man.

Imagine your own parents, family members and best friends being so brainwashed to want you to die and then shame you if you survive.

In a nutshell Japan: You got a lot of nerve being alive

Japan: “You have two options, death or die.”

Maybe I just don't get the point of a kamikaze pilot. But wouldn't it make more efficient sense if they just put an ejector seat and so that they can eject themselves let the plane crash into their Target and then they live to do it again?

Growing up I lived by a Japanese WW2 soldier, he was super sweet and made amazing tea, I talked with him quite a bit about the war, he talked a lot about how he wished he would have died with the rest of his squad not because he was depressed but because it was the honorable thing to do and because he'd be doing their duty

Kamikaze instructor be like: " *Watch closely boys I gonna do this only once* "

"The most dangerous enemies are the ones that aren't afraid to die."

I met an elderly Japanese gentleman who, as a young man, was waiting for fuel for his plane, when the war ended. Ironically, about 40 years later, he died in an on-board fire on a Jumbo Jet.

US: HEY QUIT MESSING SHIPS! Japanese: *Continues to kamikaze* Us: *Drops the sun twice*

“So if your friends all crashed themselves into a ship wouldn’t you too?” Peer pressure from Japan in WWII

This is such a sad story. Thank you for sharing it. I didnt realize the majority of kamikaze pilots were young men drafted against their will. I c ant imagine going on a one way mission with no return.

"when you die" Games: try again Kamikaze: mission success

We actually had a really interesting poem about this in an English class of mine. A kamikaze pilot that returned was shunned from society, his own family ignoring his existence. It looked at the thought of what the better way of dying was, living as an invisible entity or literally dying.

If you feel useless in life, remember that Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

Navy vessels: “aye bro watch yo jet”

It's easy to tell how the kamikaze pilots were talked into killing themselves. Japan just has Commander Erwin Smith by it's side. Shinzou sasageyo!

Whenever I hear about the story of Kamikazes, my gut always wrenches with fear, and I think about what if I had been born in Japan during those times. I would have to literally die for the country, or else, I would be shamed for the rest of my life! I’d gladly sacrifice myself if I were a Japanese person who was drafted to be a Kamikaze, not in the fear of shame, but in the spirit of how I will bring glory to my family, and my country. Thinking about it in today’s scenario, if I had to sacrifice myself, in the hopes of the well-being of my country, I would gladly do so, and that is why I have the utmost respect for any country's military personnel, cuz they are literally giving up their lives to protect us, and if there was ever a situation where I am drafted, I would gladly accept my fate. May God bless the souls of real heroes, the military, the people who give up everything for our wellbeing, and Rest in Peace for the souls of Kamikaze warriors.

Instructor - So that’s how you take off Pilot - Oh ok so how do you land Instructor - Yah about that

Imagine being a Kamikaze pilot a day before Japan surrendered.

The kamikaze made a weird sort of sense: Japan had a drastic shortage of trained pilots, and a lavish excess of airframes, so using those would-be pilots to guide missiles did make, as I said, a weird sort of sense.

Middle aged general: “ young ppl it’s an honor for u to go die for your country” Also middle aged general: “ honey I will be home by 11”

At the interview; "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?" "With a wife, two children and a nice garden" "Wrong answer!"

godzilla minus one showed this

I went to the Intrepid museum a week ago , and they had a documentary on the kamikaze attacks on the ship...wow, I almost cried

japan:*sacrifices thousands of people in a 1-way mission and shoot pilots who they forcefully conscripted if they failed* also japan: why dont we have enough pilots

A. Volunteer willingly B. Volunteer C. Refuse Japanese soldier: Oh this is easy I pick C. Japanese officer: That's the wrong answer but don't worry you can try again. Here's another questionnaire.

When I took Kenpo Karate, the main instructor use to tell us about how his instructor was an Imperial Japanese Pilot who was chosen to be a Kamikaze Pilot. He never got his chance as he apparently was shot in the legs by the Americans as he tried to get into his plane.

Commander: this will be your final mission you won’t be returning. It will bring your family honor! Pilot: will you be joining us? It will bring your family honor. Commander: uhh no but good luck!

People: “So you sacrificed your life for your country?” Survived kamikaze pilot: “well yes but no”

"General, we're running out of pilots!" "Time for a plan B: Missiles." "Missiles?" "I meant, students. anyone who can drive!"

Guy who bailed out 9 times: “Look the target kept diving and my engine sputtered! I didn’t bail” Commander: pulls out pistol*

Instantly thought of the curb your enthusiasm episode 😅😅

Instructor: Alright, and this is how you take off. Pilot: So, how do I land? Instructor: Pilot:

Kamikaze dies Minecraft: Your bed was missing or obstructed

"What Was It Like to Be a Kamikaze Pilot?" Deadly.

Imagine so many generations disappeared just like that. Their grand grand children could have been your best friend, wife, coworkers, anybody really. Crazy to think about it in all of history.

Granpa: "I was the best Kamikaze pilot in our team." Me: Wait a minute...

I love history and the Infograph’s show

Commander:promise you'll survive but in heaven

"You'll be Isekai'd into another world, We promised."

Allies: let’s take this war by strategy Japan: YOLO

"Sir we are out of missiles" Commander: *Now you are the missile.*

The scariest enemy is the one who does not fear death

Thanks for the information.

A good book on this: "I was a Kamikaze" by by Ryuji Nagatsuka. He flew out, did not find the fleet, and landed again, just before the war ended. His explanation was that the pilots were NOT madmen, but rather that the war was going so badly in the end, that ANY Japanese pilot's mission against the much more powerful US Fleet and its air cover was just a suicide mission anyway.

Japan: *makes their most skilled and gifted pilots commit suicide* Also japan: why did we lose? edit: woah didn't know the comments could recreate the pacific front so accurately

I feel especially bad for the people that died the same day the war ended…

*the kamikaze took the medal of honor to a whole new level.*

"So... where am I landing?" "In heaven."

"I was a Kamikaze pilot once" "Were you killed?" "Sadly yes... But I lived!"

Japanese person: Survives Kamikaze Emperor: Punishment is Sepukku Japanese person: Survives Sepukku Emperor: *gives up*

I notice that this video depicted large numbers of Yokosuka MXY-7 kamikaze aircraft, very few of these aircraft were built and even fewer came close to completing their missions due the way that they were launched, (they were carried into range in the bomb bay of a Mitsubishi G4M bomber, which normally got shot down due the slow speed of the outfit). Most kamikaze attacks were done with what aircraft they had available, in fact many obsolete models were used in kamikaze attacks.

Commander: "Are you ready to die for your country?" Pilot: "No" Commander: "Wrong answer... Try again".

I can’t believe that the U.S actually called kamikaze pilots “Baka bombs” unironically.

Sacrificed a generation of intelligence, for a moment of mindless strength.

This is a good video I also recommend watching history matters video on this topic it is also really good!

Love how the first couple minutes are literally just context to something most people already know...

Japan: Did you do it? Kamikaze Pilots: Yes Japan: What did it cost? Kamikaze Pilots: *Everything*

Kamikaze pilot: *survives* Japanese empire: hoW DarE YoU SuRViVe

Pilot: how do I land? Instructor: that's the neat part you dont

I've always wondered the mindset of the Kamikazi , I had my ideas but nothing close to this , , thanks

The pilot: " Sir, This is the first day of my job." Commander: It's your last.

Pilot somehow survives after hitting the ship and came back. Pilot : sir mission accomplished Commander: good now go for round 2

I just watched a new kamikaze episode you guys just put out and i watch this to see if it matched up and it does not

Chapter 10: Landing the Aircraft. Japanese Army Flight Instructor: “you can skip that bit.”

I really thought this was going to be about pilots who hit their targets but somehow walked away unharmed.

Kamikaze pilot: **survives** The Japanese military: Wait, that's illegal.

Reminds me of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode with the kamikaze survivor

Commander:we are out of missiles Kamikaze pilots:no we are them

“Don’t forget to set your spawn point” *breaks bed*

there’s also a poem called “kamikaze” it talks about how the children of a kamikaze fighter were waiting for him to come back, and when he did he was ignored by his family and everyone in the community because that was supposed to be his last flight. Him not dying brought shame to him and his family. However his children still loved him

"We choose death before dishonor" -Hanzo Hasashi, Mortal Kombat 11

I rarely believe in a higher power, but I believe any kamikaze pilot who survived when asked why they did, it's obvious someone is saying "I have a different mission for you." Which is to explain why this Kamikaze strategy happened and then learn to live with the "shame" and figuring out that being alive isn't shameful at all. As any Japanese warrior throughout history can tell you, dying is easy, living isn't.

"We're out of Soldiers" *GIVE ME THE CHILDREN*

Kamikaze Pilot: *Survives* Japan: You weren’t suppose to do that

That one dude who was a kamikazie and gets a notification that the war jus ended and pulls a great maneuver and doesn’t die 😎

I wonder how much of the infinite glory is still left. Not for them as a whole, but one of them.

My grandpa served in WW2 in the pacific, on the U.S.S. Hamlin. He said one time during an attack, a kamikaze zero plane flew like a foot over his head and missed his ship, crashing into the ocean. One of many close calls he had during the war. R.I.P.🙏❤️🇺🇸
