  • wasn't the 1st one xena?

  • @bikerheart Right you are! That photo of Xena dressed as a samurai warrior was taken from the episode (season 6 I believe) in which Xena and Gabrielle journeyed to Japan. I believe their goal was to save a royal princess from assassination.

  • what kind of instrument is this? thx for answers ;)

  • @skamaid The instrument playing the background music is called a simisan, which is a Japanese mandolin. The music is "Sakura", the cherry blossum song, and is a very popular folk tune in Japan.

  • I believe, if I am not mistaken, that the Japanese warrior woman at 4:48 was Tomoe Gozen of the Legendary Beautiful Samurai

  • @Ice9joesatriani The picture is from an exhibition put on by the Japanese branch of the Society For Creative Anachronism. But, the warrior woman is costumed to look like Tomoe Gozen, the famous Japanese female samurai.

  • 2:46 is a magic card ^^

    it's called resilient wanderer

    she's a creature-nomad

    has a protection from color of choice ability

    it's number 43/350 of the odyssey set

    additional note on the bottom is

    Nomads understand many cultures and therefore travel without fear

    Illustration is done by Clyde Caldwell

    Although she appears asian she is inhabitant of the daru plains which lies in the northern part of Otaria

  • @Askar590 I haven't been able to find a good artwork depicting Tomiris, but if I do, I'll include it in my video. If you know a gallery that has one, please let me know.

  • @zoznack Xena did several episodes set both in China and Japan. This video has one photo of her dressed as a Samurai warrior.
