7:22 would not say that traditional samurai armour became obsolete after the portuguese came with their armour since those kind of armour were never mass produced in japan in favor of japanese style. Moust of the nanban gusoku (evropean armours) were not really used in combat but rather seen as exotic or symbol of wealth. Japanese produced very resistant armours on their own after guns came to japan called Tameshi gusoku (bullet tested armour). But over all very well said and nice video. ; )

Love theses stories so awodm

[@Perceval777]

Nobunaga couldn't really use his three thousand arquebuses at Nagashino, the guns and gunpowder got wet because of bad weather. His forces used effectively only about five hundred during the battle itself.

[@khylebaguingan8211]

500 is still a big number against cavalries.. specially of how they employ it

[@sifilore9462]

Great history lesson. Was there also a name for Chinese swords? Cause I’ve notice from the live action Mulan movie, different details comparing them from Japanese and European swords 🗡.

[@bravomike4734]

Jian and Dao.

This is amazing! Will you tell us about Sanada Yukimura? Or Date Masamune?

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the video but of this list the only 3 I do not like are the Kanabo, Naginata & Tanegashima. I don't like a couple others that are not on the list also

Naginata vs Yari: which was better?

[@bravomike4734]

Yari. Naginata mostly fell out of favour for the samurai by the time of the sengoku jidai and was only mainly used by monks and house women for defense.

[@definitlynotbenlente7671]

Naginata

[@Perceval777]

The samurai themselves preferred the yari and abandoned the naginata during the Sengoku period, so the answer lies there. Later, Miyamoto Musashi also wrote in his Book of Five Rings that the yari is better than the naginata, more effective for battle formations.

@@Perceval777 Okay.

The kanabo was hardly used at all. As most japanese were small

[@kingkuroneko7253]

[@mohamed-fb9vt]

You forgot tetsubo and the nagamaki and nodashi a giant sword and pikes

[@410cultivar]

[@410cultivar]

The naginata fell out of use around the middle of the sengoku period

Your tonto life was wrong. I don't remember the minimum but a time to maxes out at 11.11 inches at 12 in it is now considered a waukeshi
