@XlaintheUndead he wasn't a samurai from what i saw...the whole group that got slaughtered look more like bandits. prbbly got that samurai armor from looting or some other petty work :P

Thnx for da video .. I've been searching for a while for this fighting scene : Excellent work specially OST .. Does anyone plz have an idea about the name of this epic ost ? (^_^) Thanks

[XlaintheUndead]

@aznninjahitman Well what do you expect. Most people take lots of things they see on TV at face value if it isn't something they wouldn't typically be "careful" around. It's extremely easy to forget tales of fiction are just that, fiction. Besides I doubt most people want to know that about samurai. People get a fixed idea of what something is and then they'll argue, sometimes endlessly, to prove their mental image of that something is the correct one. It's human nature.

[XlaintheUndead]

@aznninjahitman I'd agree with you mostly because your hypothesis is reasonable and because I have no information that I could use to argue with you. Besides this isn't my area of expertise, I just thought the guy should have realized he was in trouble the moment he saw that guy charging. If a single man charges at a group of bandits with a sword, unafraid, and has allies who are just watching, it's easy to assume that the man is capable of defeating the bandits.

@aznninjahitman seen it. wasnt bad at all.

[aznninjahitman]

@remmy100 I tentatively recommend Mnemosyne. It's targeted at 25-40 year old men, and is a pretty good mix of action, violence (quite a bit of it fairly graphic, including torture and other scenes), mystery/intrigue, the supernatural, and quite a good deal of fanservice. I believe the English marketers have dubbed it "Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne" or such.

@BudokaiTH I forget what exactly, but he was some mysterious foreigner (lol, clearly Germanic or possibly a Germanic Jew). Nanashi was a shipwrecked child as well (probably Scots-Irish-British). It's been a couple years since I watched this. =P

I'm pretty certain that, in real historical fact, Luolang (the blonde guy) wouldn't have been part of this mission. Just a guess. Something to do with us Chinese being reflexively xenophobic much of the time, even more so back then.

@Aoscadin Lies. lol. It's hilarious how the general public has these notions, probably from the romanticizing effects of media and the "high Imperial court" version of samurai once the wars mostly stopped. Samurai and knights are much the same thing: they were pragmatic landed gentry with an obligation to maintain combat readiness, and likely provide retainers to a loosely-centralized authority in return for the land grant and/or monetary/barter payments.

Samurai embraced guns rapidly.

[aznninjahitman]

@XlaintheUndead They were bandits for sure. One or more of the group could easily have been former samurai, as the distinction between farmer, bandit and warrior was pretty sketchy at the time (the movie is set in the early Sengoku-era; most moonlighted as something else from time to time). The leader of the bandit group seems to have had some sword training, so he likely was a samurai at one point.

The stereotypical view of samurai doesn't apply to this time period, for the most part.
