Ok if this documentary is suppose to be about learning the Shinobis – their REAL AND TRUE NAME which btw they prefer over the tacky name NINJA- quit calling them
Ninjas over and over esp when you are speaking of a time period when they were known only as shinobis and nothing else!!
Ninjas are on another level then these modern military
So this is actually an historical fantasy documentary then? LOL, I think the very nice opening animations made that clear… 😉
I respect both Ninja’s and Samurai.They are formable Fighters.
at no point of history during or before the edo period, has there been black hooded night assassins, throwing shuriken and smoke bombs, performing assassinations using a special brand of martial art called "ninjutsu". There certainly was never a class of individuals, separate from the samurai class, that fought in wars and had wars against samurai.. Japanese society has been regimented, and the classes are pretty well documented.
all of this is a modern myth. were there intelligence networks among the populace and the gentry? sure, some clans even specialized in it, but it was similar to modern spy craft.
This is utter bollocks
they really were the special forces of there time weren't they
This is entertaining and all, but not historically accurate. Shinobi were often former samurai, they didn't have entire villages where they trained in these techniques, they didn't wear blacked out clothes, they integrated into society and hid in plain sight, they were often assassin's, but more likely to poison their target than stab or slash them with a sword. The town of Iga does exist, I visited it a few years back, and they do put on "Ninja" shows for entertainment, but none of them claim that any of it is historically accurate.
This is pure fantasy garbage….
The biggest deception is that ninjas ever existed outside of Hollywood
Ieyasu here doesn't act like samurai, when he talked sou d ed like Chinese to me, mayb Chinese was hired here
What did the actor Ieyasu told Hanzo? he sounded vietnamese or thai lol
I don’t know what’s more ridiculous – this pantomime or the fact that I watched every minute of it
10:02 samurai’s used cell phones thousands of years ago? Well now you know
Ignore the commentator and just listen to the experts. Ya got AC there and still you are getting it wrong.
@7:31 Ah yes, the Vietnamese speaking Japanese ninjas!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh My Goodness
Bushido was gentlemanly honor? Hahahahaha. I really don't think so. Most of this video seems to be pretty much schoolboy fantasy.
Did that guy just speak Vietnamese…….
Cummins is a joke. A self-appointed expert on ninjas.
The pain I've felt in the same grouping of teeth every morning I've woken up since I moved into this apartment, and very briefly the mild feeling in my asshole this morning, makes me wonder what den of thieves I've moved into. And the 2 neighbors that are unafraid to participate in taunting my thoughts by causing that noise at the moment my mind feels a sense of ease – doesn't help the concern of what sort of lawless contestants I'm being forced to accept.
+ A pain in my sphincter is part of the cyborg quality, though. I've noticed that pattern of uncomfortable sensation when I'm awake for 24+ hours. My teeth and gums having pain, is unique to this place. The tape on the door means the next easiest place for a trap door is the ac/heater access in the bathroom.
+ I would love to die and never "be" part of this "game" ever again, and with the wide world of "sticks in bundles."
Umm, there can be only one!?!
