They can see these are different kinds of foreigners(less incading army and more trade partnerships) and their future as medieval lords are in danger of becoming obsolete. Some used the excuse of preservation of kings and countries to rebel against the British but truthfully it feels like they're just disgruntled workers who got wind of their impending sacking so they brought a shotgun to work one day.

BUT, I can't describe how much I wish we had a version of a time machine where you could like look through a window and watch the past in live motion. I'd LOVE to see what feudal Japan really looked like. Same for many other ancient societies, but the era of the samurai must have been just so damn odd yet cool. Across Japan, since it was so isolated, it must have been like it's own little world for a long time.

I remember the movie 'The Last Samurai', starring Tom Cruise, based on historical facts. The Samurai were no match for modern weapons, like the machine gun. It was so sad. 😢

Жыл бұрын

That movie was so full of BS. When I lived in Japan and went to the Samurai museums and talked to their historians, I learned that the Samurai actually had no problem with using guns. Bushido was the Japanese equivalent of western chivalric code, which means that it was glorified but not always followed by those who supposedly practiced it. Most Samurai avoided doing Seppuku when they failed at something. Unlike what the movie implied, the Samurai were almost evenly split between those who wanted to modernize and those who did not. You see, because Samurai were prohibited from becoming merchants, they could not earn more money. They could only own land which their farmhands had to tend to. The merchant class was considered lowly but they were making more money than the Samurai. The Samurai inherited land from their Samurai fathers, so after a few generations, the original land inheritance was split up to smaller parcels. The more nobler social class was starting to become poorer than the lowly merchant class. The younger generations of Samurai felt trapped. Things would stay that way if the old system continued.

@nicholasmorgan7609 of course it's not. But the samurai who were remembered as honorable those are the stories and people that mattered. Everyone abuses everything. You abuse chocolate, coffee, tea etc we all do it's human nature. But at least the samurai had a code of honor and ethics. Look at the American government they're no different. A mass army by their side willing to do injustices all around the world but sometimes they do good. It's all dependant

The story sounds like a "ghost of tsushima" kind of plot

I feel like a lot of people see samurais are honorable good guys (like chivalry and knights) but they were really (mostly) horrible warlords that'd kill their own family to get ahead in society

I find it hysterical that people thing being a badass swordsman makes one a Samurai. They almost universally can't wield a spear and few can use a bow as well as a blade or the reverse. Contrary to all the BS, the spear, bow, large clubs, and polearns were the PRIMARY weapon of a Bu-shi and swords were carried like pistols or in civilian life. It's EXACTLY analogous to medieval europe in the broad sense.

So, what did he do!?🤔

The Rebellion was primarily so the Samurai could maintain their privileges as bushi in the new Meji government, which previously came with social and economic benefits from the Shogun to maintain loyalty. People forget that even with the abolition of the warrior class, many still served as government officials, military advisors, the pilars of early industry, and much more. So there were some who fought for the feudal system that had admittedly worked for over 200 years at that point (almost 300 if you round up) but also samurai who saw the benefits of progress and how behind the country was with the rest of the world.

Sound like KENSHI.😂😂

It's just the case of wanting to learn . Wanted to discover what else is out there . Wanted to have a new aspect of life and the world .
