some documentary of the veteran from that world war said, they were but never inherited the spirit of what Samurai should be. the sword that they carried are nothing but a symbol yet their samurai spirit fading away. many soldiers that truly following the path of Samurai despise the others even their high rank for crime they commited only to get what they wanted. thus they say there is clash inside their rank who fought for honor and those who killing due to hatred. only few who really fought for honor and the way of samurai. most of them can not againts their high rank order, while those who really despised their way againts humanity start turned side and secretly help the inlanders. there is one of Japanese destroyer that win the battle againts allied destroyer stop firing and helping the survivor from their sunken ship, feed them and treat them well before delivered them at allied harbour. but the destroyer were destroyed by the allied force once it leave the harbour. it is said that the Admiral of that destroyer who remind his crew, that a true warrior should not drown into hatred towards his enemies. true Samurai never harmed those who is innocent, unarmed or already defeated. there is another high rank japanese soldier that secretly help one country reach it's freedom and succeed. another documentary telling how some of them help civilians flee the city before battle happened. majority of japanese soldier during that war were drove by hatred and bloodlust which is natural in war, but their act were despised by few others that still follow what true warrior should be.

The movie "the last Samurai" made by America, resulted in so much misinformation inside the USA and English speaking countries about Japan and it's history. Thanks to that movie, your average English speaking person literally thinks that some glorious Europeans somehow ruled Japan in this era and instructed some Japanese cowards to shoot up a bunch of Samurai and end Japan's culture. This is how distorted your average English person's mind is, thanks to that movie, which at least implied that happened, oh and that some random European guy was also the last Samurai.....sigh. The real reality and history of Japan isn't even remotely similar to that. The real history is that Japan had firearms ever since the 1500's, this is how Nobunaga and Hideyoshi in fact unified Japan with this new weapon, and BTW this was commonly used by Samurai even back then. Japan gained this weapon by a stroke of luck, when Portuguese traders became trapped in a storm, they were washed onto a small island Tanegashima, the lord of that island would agree to fix their ship so they could return home, but he was able to acquire two of the matchlock rifles off them. The blacksmiths of this island reverse engineered this rifle, and over the next decade this capability spread to the mainland of southern Japan, where Japan would end up creating so many rifles that by the late 1500's it was in fact the most armed nation on earth. This is why Japan didn't fall victim to colonisation during this era either, because by the time the European armies could eventually build up a force to invade Japan, the Japanese already had far too many rifles and it was impossible to defeat them, since Europeans also only had rifles and they would be hugely outnumbered. This is how Japan also abolished Europeans in the later era and killed any that refused to leave, enacting Sakoku. The reason Japan did this is because Japan at first agreed to start trading with some Portuguese and Spanish, however these people were caught actually enslaving some Japanese in the far southern islands and selling them off into the international slave trade. Japan wrote to the pope himself, but the pope claimed he couldn't stop it and the Spanish gaslighted the Japanese claiming the Japanese down in the far southern islands are to blame for their own enslavement to the Spanish, because the Spanish claimed it was other Japanese that sold those Japanese to them. Of course Hideyoshi wasn't having any of this BS, so in 1590 slavery was abolished entirely, and the gaslighting Spanish and all Europeans were abolished from Japan (since all they would do is try to enslave people and call people sinners if they didn't follow Christianity). It should be noted that even after Sakoku, the Japanese did continue to trade with the Dutch via a small man-made island near Nagasaki, this is because the Dutch would trade with no strings attached, they didn't want to undermine Japan's rulers or culture or enslave people, instead these Dutch just wanted to trade, it was these Dutch where the Japanese actually learned how to make beer in fact. Fast forward to nearly the mid 1800's, Sakoku ends when the USA takes some large warships over to Japan and threatens Japan to open up trading with the USA and other countries, otherwise the USA will open fire on the Japanese cities with it's warships. The Shogun at the time, the Tokugawa was said to be an incompetent pushover, he accepted the USA's demands without even trying to fight back. The USA even took a small island at this time, and unequal treaties were made, this was a low point for Japan, and the Japanese populace was generally against the Shogun for being a pushover, Japan was not colonised, but it was looking like it was about to be colonised at any point. It was the powerful Kyushu domains that were the most technological ahead, that decided to oust the incompetent Shogun and restore the Emperor as the ruler of Japan. The goal here was a panic rush attempt to mass militarise Japan to avoid being colonised, this is known as the bloodless war as well, the death toll was only a few thousand people, because the vast majority of the Japanese didn't even support the Shogun and they also saw that if things didn't change, Japan would be colonised. This wasn't a battle between the Shogun's samurai and the Emperor's non samurai either, there were actually more Samurai on the Emperor's side in this (which is why the last Samurai is so historically incorrect). The few battles that did occur, it wasn't between some ancient looking Samurai vs some modern looking army either, both sides in the few battles that did occur were between two uniformed Samurai who had primarily rifles, the Emperor's forces easily defeated the Shogun's army, because as I said, most of the Shogun's army didn't even really want to fight, so only a small portion remained loyal to the Shogun. Rather quickly the Shogun lost, he then ran away up to the far north in Hokkaido with a few loyalists and tried to make a new country called Ezo, but this didn't last long, as he had little support. He then became just a mere citizen in imperial Japan, yes the Japanese Emperor didn't kill the Shogun, he just became a regular citizen and lived to a ripe old age. Japan managed to save itself from colonialism, because after the Emperor took control, it was in fact these technological advanced Kyushu domains that truly ruled Japan, they industrialised Japan heavily and created it's imperial might, these were primarily Kyushu samurai clans, they became nearly all of the high ranking government officials in the new system. And in fact even Japan's sunrays war flag is an ancient war flag of these Kyushu samurai clans, this is how it made it's way to be Japan's war flag, because those samurai clans of the Kyushu are the guys who made Japan's highly modernised army under the Emperor. BTW the Emperor was actually a young kid when this all happened, so this revolution wasn't really the Emperor's doing, it was these powerful domains, these domains had challenged Europeans before and put up a decent fight, these domains were the ones that had the most fight and were the most technologically advanced, they also knew the most of how Europeans want to colonise and take over lands, they didn't want this fate for Japan, in which if the Shogun remained in power then Japan was on an obvious course for being colonised. Your average American today literally thinks that Japan doesn't even have a military, and that the sunrays flag was Japan's national flag and that the USA created Japan's sundisk flag after WW2 and made Japan adopt it as a national flag. It goes to show, heavy propaganda has pretty much turned the average American person's brain into mush when it comes to Japan, nearly zero facts about Japan and it's history, all just false propaganda drivel, sometimes you have to stand back in awe at just how ridiculous the average American person's ideas are about the hsitory of Japan.

"The Enemy General Is A Hero, An Equal To None Glory And Victory" The Lyrics Is Referring To Chiang Kai Shek,During The Sino-Japanese War.

[@predalienplush780]

He's correct, in the case of this video at least, although when the song was composed it was primarily referring to Saigou Takamori. I came across the translation and when I began working on this video there were no other lyric videos of this song in English to my knowledge, so I threw together what I thought to be appropriate imagery to match the lyrics, hence why I show some of Japan's fiercest opponents during that lyric, such as Zhukov of Chiang Kai Shek, or show Australian soldiers for example when the lyrics mention how fearless the enemy soldiers are. I get this question alot lol.

He composed his "Battōtai" in 1885, while serving as bandmaster of the Imperial Japanese Army Band. The song was first publicly performed the same year at a concert hosted by the Greater Japan Music Society at the Rokumeikan. It was considered the first Western-style military song in Japan and the first to become popular across the country, although it was initially believed to be difficult to sing for Japanese unaccustomed to modulation.[2]
