I haven't watched the video, but i already know the names of all the individual components and pieces of the Japanese samurai armor, since i'm a very smart individual with a broad interest. I will share my knowledge with you people, so i can be praised for my huge intellect afterwards. the common Japanese terminology for the helmets these samurai often wore is: JUPUNUSESUMURUIHELMURU, they often also often had these huge schoulder pats, which they called SHUDURBORDURU, not to be confused with the northern japanese term of shoulder pats, which is NURDERJAPENESUSSHUDORBORDURU. Most japanese warriors also used a CROTCHPROTECTERUDESUKAWAI to defend against a common technique at the time in feudal japan, which was called "BALLKICKERUOUCHERUCRIEONGROUNDDERUDATO". I'm not going to explain how the technique works because its to complicated and would take ages to explain.

Thank you for a very nice detailed video Mr.Metatron, really informative. Just a little bit small note about the Crest part. Maedate should be this character 前立(まえだて)("Front" and "Stand" characters) The kanji you used is 立物(たてもの)= Tatemono ("Standing Thing") Though both can be used to called the Crest part of the helmet, only the kanji's pronunciation was miss-matched.

@gso619
@gso619 8 жыл бұрын
That's because it kind of is. It's a pretty unique concept when it comes to armor. Basically, it's attached to the armor in such a way that when the samurai is riding, the air coming from the front inflates the cloak, basically turning it into an air cushion. The idea behind this is that any arrows coming in from the back will hit the cushion, which will slow them down and they'll either just bounce off the cloak or slow down enough that they won't do any damage when they hit the armor. The reason the arrows don't just rip through the cloak is because it's not TOO inflated, which means that the moment an arrow hits, the fabric just caves in instead of resisting. It still pushes against the arrow, slowing it down, but it doesn't push hard enough for the arrow to cut through. Also helps that they were sometimes made of silk. That shit's tough.
