Berend Koops why bash on us males though?

Some added context: one of the major issues underlying the events is that the law at the time was kenka-ryouseibai: in the event of an altercation, both sides were punished, regardless of who started it. This is what the Ako ronin found so unjust: only Asano was punished. The two years between the attack and the vendetta were spent by former Ako officials appealing the decision and attempting to get some redress for the Asano family. Only when these efforts were exhausted did the vendetta go into action, as a last final protest of the injustice. It should also be noted that the Shogunate officially sanctioned vendettas, and had a complex system for their approval. The Ako ronin’s vendetta didn’t actually apply (the ronin weren’t Asano’s direct family) but it provided a context and framework for their actions.

Great stuff, many thanks. I can confirm that the story is still very important in Japan; my wife is Japanese and was taught it as she grew up. The detail of the Samurai putting the lights out was interesting, because in Kyoto, fire was a read danger, so much so that if one of the nobility was in debt one way to deal with it was to threaten their neighbours with arson. According to Alex Kerr in his book "Lost Japan" the method was to go to their neighbours and creditors and say "Unfortunately I can't pay my debt and I can't stay here and face the shame of being a debtor. Therefore I have no choice but to set fire to my house tonight and escape into the night". This was a veiled threat because if one house caught fire the entire neighbourhood would go up in smoke, so the neighbours would have a collection to pay the debt and/or the creditors would write it off...

When it comes to being a soldier, I'm a little more partial to Patton's, "the object is not to die for your country, but to make they other bastard die for his." It's interesting to keep in mind this mindset hyper-focused on honour was a product of a period of peace when they had soldiers who had not fought an actual war nor were likely to fight in a war. In earlier eras when they actually fought in wars and conflicts the mindset of a Samurai was far more pragmatic and practical, and less concerned with honour (although it was still important). They probably more resembled any other soldier in that respect.

I read a graphic novelization of this legend several years ago, and just finished watching the 1941/1942 Japanese movie of the same story. It's a deeply moving tale, one of the most beautiful to come out of feudal Japan.

I'm always a bit awe by these stories of old times where people.. yeah went to assassinate their oponents, but also tried to be nice and courdial about it, treating the victim with respect, bowing down to them if that was proper and maybe even letting them do it themselves. It's still just an assassination, but it makes for a much more complling story/scene

Their willingness to die to keep their honor puts the disrespect towards Asano Naganori into perspective. He felt so disrespected that he had no choice but to try to kill him because simply accepting the insult to his name was deemed by him worse than death. His hand kinda got forced at this point.

When I first imagine the scenario happening here my initial reaction was "Oh. That's a fair few soldiers, but it's nothing that crazy.", and then the image popped into my head of 47 fully clad, armor wearing knights charging into an abode.

The Samurai clung to delusions even as their present became so miserable many were forced to become peasants just to eat. The 47 Ronin were a handful out of several hundred Asano retainers. They were so honored precisely because their loyalty was so rare. Also, the Japanese were NOT Christian, they saw death differently.

Hey man love all these biographies, I was thinking what about one on Rudolf Hess that could be interesting, keep up the awesome work

This was so well done. I have to watch it again. Amazing

This is one of the best videos I've seen on this. Thanks.

That might have been one of your most interesting stories yet. Well done, mate.

That was amazing thank you for sharing 💯👏 ⚔️

Great video. Thank you for your time and effort.

Came across this story in a historical fiction novel, the story was being performed, in High School and it has been a favorite ever since.

I recently read a comic version of this story drawn by Stan Sakai, the creator of Usagi Yojimbo. It was really good!

Ok, I worked in Japan and have the name Stan. They claimed to have trouble pronouncing the name Stan, and suggested I call myself Stanu. My Japanese colleagues often anglicized their names when they came to work in Canada. When they said my name they would cover their faces politely and laugh. I never knew why. Now I hear that Sakai-san's first name was Stan, so I guess they can say Stan. Help?

Sakai you say

Loved the movie. After watching it I had to research it to see how much was true but that was difficult. Either way it's a story of loyalty and knowing that you will die in doing so but loyalty is more important. Thanks Simon!

Amazing video! Almost as good as everything you do on Business Blaze!! Keep it up

Hey Simon...just wanted to say...big fan of most of your channels. Really nice to see the credits in the side slides now.👍

I've learned so much from you!

Those "exaggerations" are what make good stories, great stories... Reality can come up short.

Good stories deserve embellishment

That's the stuff, Simon! Thank you.

You're a super busy dude good stuff man love the hard work keep it up 💪👊👌

There is something about honor in these stories that we don't see anymore in our day

This Simon dude would be an amazing fill-in for the Obi-Wan Kenobi voice actor

Thank you for providing content for me to watch. 🙏

Loving your content. Fantastic stuff. Cheers!

That was a great take. As a child I watched The Samurai on tv. The tale is befitting of great Samurai. As a child all I wanted was to be a Samurai. :)

Still one of the greatest tales of honoring a former master in Japanese history. A retelling of the tale was featured prominently in the Robert DeNiro movie "Ronin."

Yes. A fictionalised version where they don't point out the fact and the creative licence. It is important to remember movies aren't documentaries.

A correction in terminology. The Nobles in Japan represent the extremely small number of royals (which included the Emperor) at the very top of Japanese society. They were followed by the Samurai or Warrior class , and below them were the commoners (farmers, artisans, merchants, etc.).

This is the most badass story I've ever heard, thank you Simon!

Love the videos

Loved it, thank you all

This was a very interesting video. Thank you for telling us all this story I'm glad I finally know what happened. Also I love it when you guys stray from the mainstream content and do historical events (Kinda like the Darien venture video a while back). Regardless of what videos you all choose to make thank for making them. P.S. thanks so much for the accidental JoJo references

Homie grinds harder than most youtubers I can think of. Seriously inspiring.

2:50 the Reason the Shogun really ran the show is simple “You might have the better Claim but I Have the Bigger Army”

One of my favorite youtuber... Love all your material

I always love your content! Thank you!

16:40 when I was living in Japan and my Nanny took me to her village and pointed out a man. She told me never bring shame to name of my family. Or shame to the face of your family. I saw this man about to commit Harakiri or Seppuku! I was 4 years old when I saw this. And I have never forgotten that moment. And seriously if I hadn't seen that and her words echoed in my ears and mind. I may have done stupid things. I never wanted to disappoint my parents. I hope that if anyone takes anything from my heartfelt comments take this. You have the choice to do right or wrong and if you're considering that, don't do wrong. Remember that there may be more than you who'd have to pay for your bad choices! May GOD BLESS you and may you always listen to the voice over your right shoulder telling you to do right!😇 Thanks again Simon for such a entertaining video.

Did he die quickly or did it take a while, and was there a flood of blood? My friend got stabbed by a small folding knife in the leg and just that left a big puddle of blood on the floor, it coagulated fast and was more like pudding but I imagine disemboweling yourself would be a huge mess since all I ever see them put down is like a blanket or towel which isn't going to keep it from getting messy I assume. Honestly I think if I had that experience it would only create some kind of resentment that would cause me to not care or do the complete opposite to attack the notion that if I did something thought as but I didn't necessarily see it that way or had no other option that I would have to offer my life to make amends for my family but really it's just for how everyone else and what opinions they have of you or your family. Its pride at its worse.

👍 for the ad alone. Love The Blaze.

I'm impressed by the amount and quality of your content. Very impressed indeed. 👍👍🇨🇦

I would have been the missing "47th ronin". I'll just let everyone else commit seppuku, start a farm, and grow old. Mission accomplished

47 Ronin= Japanese special forces

I have seen many films about this & even read a few books, this was by far the most informative in such a short time & shows that honour is important, that grave yard in going on my bucket list right now.

Good work. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!! DONT FALL OFF LIKE THE OTHERS WHO START AND STOP. YOUR CONTENT IS GREAT!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK👊🏿🇧🇧🇧🇧
