Well it was 9/10 but I see what you mean. I think the point of the video was to evaluate the correctness of the samurai's techniques and forms of presentation. Since in movies often for show reasons additional movements etc. are added, this often results in an unrealistic scenery. If he had been asked to rate how good he thought the movies were in general instead of how well the samurai were portrayed, I'm sure he would have given the fanboy 10/10.

I've learnt recently that Tom Cruise received a lot of advices on sword fighting from Hiroyuki Sanada (the impressive and badass Ujio in the film), who is himself a master in this field. He's been studying sword fighting for over 30 years. Sanada said that he tought Cruise how to move and use his eyes to seem "more Japanese and less American", he also reported that Cruise was a very fast learner and a pleasure to work with on choreographies.

I've watched a few of these "how real" videos with Tom Cruise movies, and in every one of them the experts praised his movements. Say what you will about the man - 'cause make no mistake, he's a bit unhinged - he really puts a lot of work into his art.

Not only is this how any expert would speak in an interview (of course each with their own idiosyncracies like this man's 'maaasu's), this is basically how anyone would speak in public to someone they don't know. Keigo is like 90% of Japanese speaking because it's polite. You use it unless you're: speaking to a subordinate (sometimes), with friends, in an anime (and a very specific type of anime at that) or you're a foreigner with limited vocab (and that's ok: people are forgiving because you don't know better - aka the 'gaijin pass).

I would've been on complete awe of him, were I to meet him. I was first introduced to the actual notions of "Samurai", and "Bushido" when my dad lent me a VHS copy of the ORIGINAL 13 Samurai, when I was in my early twenties. I had been one of those 80's kids who were Ninja crazy, watching Sho Kosugi movies, reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics by Eastman and Laird, and had the Storm Shadow Cobra Ninja figure, which was prized above all my other G.I. Joe figures. Ninjas were a whole different breed from Samurai. After 13 Samurai, my dad Kent me Yojimbo, and Sanjuro. Then he had me watch The Seven Samurai. I am still in awe of that particular Samurai film, to this day. Watching this video, made me very happy, and I watched and listened to his every word, trying to learn what I could.

This is easily one of my favorite videos of this kind. He provides ratings and the like, but he also explains and gives so much information about the styles, stances, and movements that I felt I was learning a good bit about how samurai fought.. more than most documentaries about it, actually. Very good. 10/10.

This is my new favorite critique video! Intelligent, respectful, and completely eye-opening to a sword art I'm not overly familiar with. I really enjoyed the in-depth discussions and explanations of moves seen in the films, and personally enjoyed the variation between more "serious" samurai films vs. the very silly ones. (Of course the traditional ones will always be better, but we all need a little theatrics now and then, right?) Thank you so much, Kaito Suiju-dono, for your time and expertise!

This felt less like a rating and more like a lecture with detailed backgrounds. To the point the ratings at the end of each segment felt out of place. Very cool stuff and a welcome change from the usual breakdown format.

The way he speaks and the sound of his voice radiates wisdom, knowledge, and experience. Sent chills down my spine.

The most impressive thing about it for me was that this man was able to give so many details, even if they were general, of characters that (I think) he did not know just by looking at their facial expression and their body movements, such as when he said that Kenshin was calm, or O-Ren was a strong and confident woman

They showed the wrong scene for Kenshin. He wasn't going to ever use his sword on that scene. That scene was meant to highlight Kenshin as a pacifist. Its a great scene to show aikido techniques, not so much Iaido. Such a shame because the actor who plays Kenshin does a lot of battojutsu techniques in the movie.

More please of this fascinating teacher Kaito Suiju. I feel honoured just to watch his critique. Masterful and elegant. So impressive. I learned a lot.

This man is so humble, that even impossible moves like in the anime where he jumps over the guy, he is just like: Impressive, very difficult move. Samurai fanboys would scold these movies out for having no real correlation to samurai, yet a real samurai isnt bothered with it and finds it impressive.

The character was already a swordsman, once you learn a style of fighting, learning another similar style is much easier. Western and Eastern fencing are very similar, there are only so many ways you can move after all, the major difference comes in the weapons involved. The Katana is a pretty brittle blade with a good cutting edge, Tom Cruises character was already experienced in the saber which is more durable but a similar type of sword in almost every way. So Kenjutsu usually tended to avoid clashing swords, because they broke fairly easily, and focused on single stroke cuts to end a fight, with grappling being employed if the blades met, which is very similar to saber fighting, though you can more easily cross sabers. Basically it would be pretty easy for his character to learn a sword. But they wouldn't actually use swords in real life, they would use spears and bows. Katana were mostly ornamental and more a symbol of status as a Samurai, they weren't used in battles.
