Of course this movie scene was stylized to a maximum of samurai spirit hagakure. The difficulty to overcome the armor gives a hint how brutal actual combat must have been. No way to easily kill or be killed. You would have needed to stab your opponent right into the face, neck or armpits which is horrific in itself. But most likely the fighters would exhaust themselves in exchange of blows so one finishes the other ultimatively in close combat Hand to Hand struggle. with his Tanto knife or Wakizashi short sword. People usually don’t just give up on life that easily. They struggle as long as they can and panic once death seems close. Of course this scene was to show and glorify the superior self control and dignity of those two leaders but actual combat, even under samurai, must have looked a thousand times more traumatizing. And I suspect actual samurai - at least those who had what it took - were simply too bestialized and traumatized by what they experienced to still care much anymore.

Usami has taken care of Kagetora since childhood. It is him that educated Kagetora martial arts and the basics of study. Kagetora was an excellent student. However, he had a weak point. Too gentle. Kagetora was not able to execute the family of the enemy. His manner worried his retainers. As for Usami who "Kagetora cannot give decision all thetime as I am on the side", and felt so, sabotage does allthe next war. Takeda who knew the story spread a rumor saying "Usami betrayed kagetora". kagetora. "I cannot keep this situation intact." And command it to appear to Usami. He wrote in the letter that kagetora attacked it in the armed forces when you did not come. UsamI thought. If "kagetora killed me at the place that retainers looked at, the retainers would understand him when it was a strong monarch", and UsamI expected that kagetora grewup as a samurai road.

Usami had taken care of Kagetora since he was a child. It was Usami who taught him martial arts and academics. Kagetora was a very good student. However, he had a serious weakness. He was too gentle. He could not make the decision to execute the family members of his enemies. His appearance made his retainers uneasy. Usami thought. "Kagetora is unable to make a decision because he is always by his side, isn't that right?" After this incident, Usami stopped being by Kagetora's side. He stopped participating in the war. Takeda heard this rumor and spread it throughout Kagetora's territory. ”Usami betrayed Kagetora. He intends to start a rebellion." Kagetora's retainers became worried. Kagetora could not ignore the situation. Kagetora sent a letter to Usami. ”Come before me now. If you do not, I will attack you with my army.” Upon receiving the letter, Usami thought to himself. ”If kagetora can kill me in front of Kagetora's retainers, everyone will recognize him as a strong lord.” Usami hoped that Kagetora would grow up to be a strong lord.

There are plenty of scumbag warriors in history, and there are plenty of courageous and brave guys who own businesses. Your problem is that you only think of the really bad ones, so they are all that exist to you. I promise you that we good businessmen do not think it's generous of us to behave well; it is expected of us before during and after work!

Ahhhhh. Not "enemies" but "opponents". That is how one finds respect in battle. To have an enemy is a waste of time and effort because that is a never-changing situation, regardless of the circumstances. However, to respect one's opponent still leaves room for reconciliation and productive efforts after the battle.

[@rc59191]

Man that Samurai armor is beautiful. Shame most modern armor doesn't have that same flare.

[@snyperwulffgaming9575]

"Flare" Doesn't protect you in battle. The crescent moon on Kenshin's helmet is just begging to be grabbed and used to snap his neck. Only thing that prevented that of course was their code of honor. In todays day and age, with such long range weapons, having Flare to your armour would just make you stick out and paint an easy target on you.

You have no idea what you're talking about. This "Honor" nonsense is something which is made up for Westerners to feel emotional about in movies. In reality go to any culture outside of West and find out how honor nonsense actually plays out. Africa, Middle East and central Asia men k*** women for desecration family honor. There are some example in the Pacific Asia as well. What is shown in movies is misrepresentation of what Honor actually is. In reality Honour is a fancy word for EGO.

[@octavian7637]

@@blacklight4720 no I'm not talking about duels. "Similar to other Southern/Mediterranean European areas, the honor was traditionally important in Italy. Indeed, until 1981, the Criminal Code provided for mitigating circumstances for such murdering; until 1981 the law read: "Art. 587: He who causes the death of a spouse, daughter, or sister upon discovering her in illegitimate carnal relations and in the heat of passion caused by the offense to his honor or that of his family will be sentenced from three to seven years. The same sentence shall apply to whom, in the above circumstances, causes the death of the person involved in illegitimate carnal relations with his spouse, daughter, or sister." Traditionally, honor crimes used to be more prevalent in Southern Italy."

@octavian7637 Interesting, I didn't know that. But I'm also not surprised it comes from Southern Italy. If I understood you correctly, you're talking about the criminal part of society.

But realistically on the battlefield, they used a Nodachi, which means greatsword it was around 3.5 feet long, The shorter1 handed sword (Katana) was mainly used for duals in towns and such, but in this battle, they both are using a Katana with both hands unusual.
