Feudal Japan was a tough time but thankfully these warriors of the bushido code were protecting the country…right? In this episode we’re looking for the truth behind Samurai and Shogun, asking some of the big questions like; Were ronin vigilantes? Were samurai virtuous good guys? Were there female samurai? Was seppuke/hara kiri all about honor? Was the Katana the primary weapon of samurai? and more! We’re also looking at movies, like Rurouni Kenshin, The Last Samurai, Ran, Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, 47 Ronin, 13 Assassins, and more to find our myths.

This list could almost be "Things The Last Samurai Did Wrong," but then they would have to add another five just to explain how the events in the film didn't fit into any period of Japanese history at all.
It was supposedly ninja that had a tool that doubled up as a climbing tool to catch sword blades.
I read quite a few books on Samurai. Not saying you are wrong, but many of this things are inconsistent with what I have read. Especially the betrayal of the master bit.
they included clips from one piece, but not fucking Samurai Jack?! How?! it's so obvious!
they were trained in archery on horseback
Samurai = Position. The samurai rank who is a busi and serving the lord.
Busi = It is a status that can hold weapons.
You do not understand the difference, and Busi 's way of thinking is different by the times. That's why there is no meaning for Japanese people.
Busi who had no master, there were people like the same as burglars. Because it says it as samurai, Japanese people can not understand.
we'd like you to stop all Busi is samurai. There is a big difference between samurai and busi, and it is incongruous. by Japanese
By the way, Kensin in the animation called Ruroi Kenshin is not a samurai. He is just a Busi. because he did not have a lord(Rounin)
the Busi of the Kamakura period, the Warring States period, the Edo period have quite different characteristics. In Edo period,Samurai are only government officials or regional officials. Warring States era is a combatant. However, there are many cases where farmers who was hired by the Lord have weapons but it is not a busi or a samurai. This is a commentary explaining all the times era, which makes little sense.
plz do myths or facts about knights
Samurais like their women EXTRA THICC.
is it true that oda nobunaga was the first daimio to commission fire arms in vast numberd to his men?

Most Samurai were actually bullies and oppressed the lower class. A big part in why the Ninja were created, to take them out.
It won't take long before weeaboos like Metatron would try and debunk this video

47 Ronin was awful
hara kiri IS NOT the same thing as seppuku
