Mist Raven and Sakura dance can reverse lightning without you taking chip damage against Tomoe Geni and spear saint Ishin. But if the boss reverses your lightning reversal, you might be screwed because both mist and dance have a slightly longer "hang time", i.e. Wolf stays airborne and won't touch the ground fast enough for a 2nd reversal.

You're learning some, but the point of learning a sword discipline is to take the basics of any given art and have your own spin on it. Like I use European half swording techniques even when I practice with my katana, because it is essentially a messer with a longer handle and no quillians.

"Shinobi would use a ninjato" *shows a sword that doesn't have any historical evidence of existing before the 1960s*

[@Shadowsphere1]

It's probably based on things he's heard from masters while training, or from people who pass down that information through word of mouth. Remember, having no evidence doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. And historical archives aren't going to accept hearsay, so if it was definitely real but only described through word of mouth, it wouldn't be considered evident of existence.

[@snubbles9991]

Ikr, I kinda cringed when he said that

[@richmonddelrosario7663]

in their scroll theres no mention of ninjato because since shinobi's main job is to spy and gather info they dont engage in fights and carrying weapons would make them suspicious.

[@nyr3n914]

Correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the small sword they used called a Wakizashi?

[@piergiorgiocaroli9201]

@@nyr3n914 Yeah. The Kodachi is a little longer I think.

[@danielhounshell2526]

disclaimer: there's actually no evidence that the ninjato ever existed historically. It was a later invention primarily from the entertainment industry. Even if you think about it logically the ninjato makes no sense, why would a ninja, who relies on infiltrating places without anyone suspecting him, wear a uniform or carry a sword that could uniquely identify them as a ninja, especially when swords were so heavily restricted during large portions of Japanese history, and having one would draw unwanted attention to them. Ninja didn't really operate by skulking about in shadows and doing parkour, they dressed like the people in the place they were infiltrating, gained entry without drawing attention to themselves, and did what they needed to do, which was mostly gathering information. They were the spies of their time, and operated as such. This isn't to say that the skulking and assassinations never happened, because they did, but that was a very small part of what ninja did, and when they needed to assassinate someone, dressing like a commoner and hiding a dagger was often a much more effective option.

[@RiFeX2703]

They would wear the shinobi foku (or "uniform") when there was no excuse for them to be somewhere they're not supposed to so better not to be seen at all than wear a disguise and be questioned why you're here

[@gothxm]

Yea when I saw him with a katana I kind of questioned it but then I realized that I didn't know if the "typical ninja straight blade" was even used.

[@parisbower6939]

If I remember right Ninjato as a style exists in terms of Japanese infiltration but never was a specific group of individuals.

[@Corrupted]

I'd assume the outfit would be more of a ritualistic clothing used for training/out of mission stuff, no?

[@kranvagoun2240]

@@Corrupted Im not sure that's the case. As far as I've heard there are two possible explanations why we thought they even had a black uniform. First is because the illustrations of the Edo period in which it was common for people to wear masks. As it was to expensive to get a fancy mask, people usually bought simple black robes with black masks and media today use that as a reference for a ninja. Second is that they used black robes for a theatrical purpose. Moving props from the background "without being seen" so that they don't disturb the play. The idea like the green screen today if you will. Even without those two reasons I don't see why they would need a uniform because they were like hired commandos in a sense. I might be wrong though. If anyone has any information that is more accurate I'd like to know.

[@shienxiii.ArkSoft]

The second that guy pull out that ninjato, he lost all credibility. Ninjato is a Hollywood thing

[@Sir.Alonne]

To be fair he's a martial artist not a historian but it's still annoying.

[@maxwelllaurent9065]

I wish they would stick to the technique side of things more, because I love hearing about how one cut or attack is actually realistic (or not). Not to mention they obviously aren't historians, so most of the history they talk about is basically at the level you would learn from pop culture. That said, I feel like I have to point out there is no historical instances of a "Ninjato" sword, sure there where straight swords and short swords like the wakizashi, but the whole idea of a Ninja/Shinobi only sword is 100% a modern myth. That's not to say Shinobi may not have had their own particular type of weapons they may have carried, but that our modern idea of a Ninjato was not one of them, and there are 0 surviving sword that would fit that description, as most that do are only a hundred years old or so, nothing correct to the period in which Ninja/Shinobi were active.

@@furkanaydin8046 Ok let's get something clear, when someone say "samurai and ninjas are completely different things" is ignorance, even in japan, Samurai for westerns would be knights, which is a Social status or "itle given to person, so a Samurai could be a ninja or Shinobi depending on the period (I mean they are almost the same but the difference is when in time they both existed). We have this believe that ninjas were trained assasins wering black gear and using the ninjatō but that's not the case, they are no record that we have found about that, even the world ninja isn't assassin like some people believe, but is covert agent/spy. and this is for the other comment of "There is one known samurai in japan" makes no sense, because like i mention before Samurai and been a skilled sword fighter are two different things.

[@Musicaddict2232]

Andrés Pérez you are correct. The title says Japanese sword experts now and I’d give them credit for that much but don’t mistake it. They are not trained warriors. They could probably school most normal people with a blade absolutely but a trained classical samurai would have the edge over them because they’ve tested their fighting style against all sorts of others back in the day and that sorted out what styles worked well and what styles looked good and fought well against their own style but couldn’t match up against other styles of martial combat that had been tested in real combat over time. Martial arts has many examples of this such as how Kung-Fu is actually not very good against other MMA martial arts like Japanese Judo and kick boxing which have both proven to be extremely effective when used against almost any style of fighting. Kenjutsu and Aijutsu are great for fighting Kenjutsu and Aijutsu fighters but when put up against someone unconventional like how Musashi fought with a giant wooden pole they’d break down as they have no ways of dealing with opposing someone with much greater reach and striking force. I myself won’t claim to be any expert but from what I’ve seen from research and watching masters of so called “martial arts” like Tai chi have their bells rung in mere seconds when faced with fighters using Judo and Kickboxing. It’s very telling. Edit: upon review I have re-looked into Kenjutsu and it holds up very well as far as a true discipline of fighting goes. It’s matches well against styles from all sorts of places including fencing which is tough to manage. Can’t say the same for Aijutsu as it seems to work only if the user gets the first strike or first move off. High risk high reward with Aijutsu. Also the fact that one is a kendo instructor lends some good credence to their credibility as experts. I must retract my earlier skepticism. They are likely as close to warriors as most people will get these days (excepting military personnel and real life combat veterans and fighters around the world)

You take all these hits whether or not you block them, and it takes a toll, so you need to take a moment to compose yourself, and reinforce your Posture Man! Cool stuff.

[@alexdoan273]

Should have had them reacting to the fight with the samurai mini-boss in the estate, he uses a lot more samurai techniques, Sekiro is a shinobi after all

[@KQJ777]

In the future can we get someone from the Navy to watch Assassins creed naval battles?

[@greenman8060]

Yeah bro. Just need to grab someone from the 1700's real quick.

[@KQJ777]

@@greenman8060 😂 with the parallel universe it might be possible. but maybe a historian would be better then? to walk us into how and what things and tactics were used to win battles.

Thank you so much! 👍

[@subhamrai8963]

Love the channel . They should try way of the samurai next

[@lucasnevescaminha2653]

WAIT, Wait, wait! The "japanese sword experts" said that ninjas used Ninjato with a STRAIGHT blade??!! This STRAIGHT-bladed sword never existed at that time. This is a MYTH!

[@lucasnevescaminha2653]

If i'm wrong, please correct me with facts.

[@maxx951]

No, you’re right.

[@Vhergo]

Can we please have Marines react to "Escape From Tarkov"? Most realistic FPS imo and I feel like it would be really interesting to see what they would say.

[@slmb_b]

I feel like ARMA, Squad, or Insurgency would be more better

[@Vhergo]

@@slmb_b Haven't played them but tarkov is so detailed to a point where you have to literally load individual rounds into mags.

[@nataliecameron]

@@Vhergo ARMA is an actual simulator so it's probably more realistic

[@QuarthDoesThings]

These guys are great.

[@kusalseven3563]

This guys are awesome

[@grimskull94]

Do one for ghost of tsushima when it comes out

[@AtlasIsMissing]

Day 4 of asking them to do “marines react to arma 3”

[@GrimReaperZ_]

Wow how are you guys finding these people and still got 429K subs you deserve more!

I really like Yong's jacket.

I want real assassins react to Assassin's Creed

[@ChristainVonBerryStein]

The assassin has to have a moral code

not today fbi

[@meruemsama7770]

I like that they aren‘t cocky like other self-proclaimed „sword masters“ on this channel

Have racecar drivers react to hotweels acceleracers

この2人が日本刀のエキスパートなの？？ どこの国の人か知らないけど、ただのアクション俳優じゃないの。

[@chemislife]

Be interesting to have them check out ghost of tsusima. Apparently they tried to make the combat similar to the samurai films which would give us some very interesting commentary.

[@ThatPGuy]

1:28 he is deflecting not blocking 0:52 That's why posture is in game

[@namethefifth7315]

Honestly the most unrealistic thing in the game is how durable your swords are

Facts

[@osamaq8y5353]

Should've brought an actual shinobi/ninja instead, if they still exist

[@alexmag342]

They didn't exist to begin with, its a modern invention, there existed assassins just like any other culture, extremely rare tho.

[@juanhoffmann4096]

@Alex Mag that’s not true, what you said makes no sense

[@delusionalnoodles]

Alex Mag They did exist, just not in those black costumes.

[@alexmag342]

@@juanhoffmann4096 why not, this modern view of ninjas that people have and especially weebs first came about from kabuki theater, this concept of a black garbed, mystical assassin spy. The stories told in those theaters were mostly mythical in nature, with ninjas able to disappear in plain sight and summon giant toads, like Greek dramas. But there is no documented style of ninjutsu in Japanese history. Espionage still existed, and assassinations were still very rare, it wasn't much different from what happened in most other cultures.

[@Kaxanlax]

@@alexmag342 No they did exist, although they were mostly spies and saboteurs than assassins. Having day jobs as farmers and merchants and such.

[@generalmits]

The only episode of this i have seen where the experts sound like they know what they are talking about

[@whirlwindeddie2124]

They did have a way to pull out a Nodachi (The longer version of regular Katana) from the back. If I remembered it correctly it was drawn from the shoulder
