Not many people know this about Honda Tadakatsu, near the end of his life, he created a company that made reliable cars. It still exists today.

[@donsal.t.1765]

I always thought so

[@floydpink4077]

lol

[@markmonaco9775]

Funny thing is every single time I see people driving Honda I'm like do you realize how much of a previlage it is to get close to Honda and not die?

[@Winteramen]

Lmao

[@notbilly5962]

God damn i'm so sick of you uninformed filth, he made a company that bred reliable horses which then evolved into the car company.

Honda Tadakasu is one of the most honorable and bravest Samurai to ever lived in history, His Unquestionable Loyalty to his lord, and those around him, his Sheer Brutally as a Warrior strikes Fear into the hearts of his enemies even gaining their respect for him as a warrior by heart, Honda Tadakasu is definitely one of the most Badass Samurai to ever lived during his time. 🙏🏻

The very fact that samurai were notorious headhunters makes this mans reputation even more incredible. To go out of your way to make yourself as recognizable as possible, be on the frontlines, and never receive an injury? Baffles the mind.

Thanks for shining some light on seemingly unknown heroes! Unbelievable, that even during the battle of Sekigahara at 1600 he fought on the front lines (age 57) and still managed to come out unscathed. This is in my opinion just as impressive as Miyamoto Mushasi being undefeated from his 13th til his 29th.

[@aceshotz5051]

My favorite samurai of all time and my second favorite warrior in history next to Julius Caesar himself. Honda Tadakatsu was extremely incredible. The fact that he never suffered a major injury in all the battles he was in makes him more infamous than LuBu himself aka his Chinese counterpart. If I ever do get the opportunity to travel to Japan I wanna see his armor with my own two eyes. Honda Tadakatsu is truly incredible and one hell of a samurai

[@Ehrle6969]

Lu bu was a weak midget historical

He makes me think of the men in my family ancestry. No one can say where they exactly originated. They were everywhere in Europe. The Countries they married in are the Countries they called their own. The were dark skinned but at birth were blonde. The Majority had blue or green eyes. People guess they are from some part of the Mediterranean. They were Knights. They have a coat of arms. The have crests and seals. They were all 6ft tall or thereabout. They all had deceptive body physique. They were all Handsome. They all had darker skin. Yet the majority of women did not have as dark skin. And no one seems to be able to find out much more than this. Only clue I have is the Queen and Mr. Diefenbaker landing in front of our business in a helicopter and only speaking with my Dad. None of the crowd that gathered. The Queen did say to me that I was a brave little girl and she gave me a silver Dollar sized gold coin. Diefenbaker gave me a Silver Dollar. They both kissed my cheeks. I got picked on by children and adults alike after that. Jealousy, not knowing what would make my Dad so special I guess. So this is all quite interesting. We do know that there is a mixture of Asian in the bloodlines. Austrian, Ukrainian, Russian, Scottish and French. Mongolian, Chinese, and other most likely Japanese women were who they'd married, all from some form of Royalty back then. After moving to Canada, the 2, sons my Great grandparents had, more or less went separate ways though visited each other often while both still living. Most of my family from my Dad's side are gone now including my Dad who followed less than 4 months after my Mom. I KNOW he willed his own death ad most of my Dad's family does when they lose their one and only true love/soulmate/twin flame. Even my Dad's Uncle's side seems to follow the same thing. Thank you for researching and posting this video.

I like how Sengoku Basara over exaggerated Tadakatsu's legend by turning him into a huge robot, and his Dragonfly Cutter a giant drill spear. Whenever he appears on the map, first thing players did was run, especially if their characters were underleveled. I'm sure most people would prefer his Samurai Warriors incarnation, and I'm don't dislike that one either, but I just have a thing for robots, since I used to own gundam figures.

[@markmeas1559]

Tadakastu honda he's my favorite Japanese warrior I'm his biggest fan? Some day I want to be like him? 😁❤👍

[@tomato1087]

He fought about 57 times in big and small battles but he never get's wounded in action. And also most of Japanese people height was 150cm but he was like 180cm tall guy so must been really big guy.

He is one of the most fiercest warrior back then as he always be the first one who charge into the enemy line. His army mostly use red armor so that they are known as the red devil. His battle achievement is rivaled to Tadakatsu, but he mostly sustain lots of injury after battle
