@HotaruZoku Good to know I wasn't the only one! My bro and dad looked at me like I was crazy, lol.
-
@jaykrue Ah. I see how that wording could be misleading.
I meant "Leaving with swords" as in, "They left WITH those swords" seized and confiscated.
-
@Romansteel13 Never gave those two words having distinct meaning any thought....interesting insight.
-
@JuuhachigouSama Not alone.

@thawhtet8 so true, nice interpretation
-
how the heck do you tie a topknot ?!
i wana now :D

@jetdatboy I agree with you, Nobutada's actions in the scene is him showing restraint; even in the face of humiliation or possibly death.
One of the many reasons why I love the Samurai so much
-
Do you think the scene meant to show "the price of modernization".
-
@HotaruZoku Maybe I'm missing something about your comment but the soldiers didn't leave the swords*. Take a look at the left-most soldier starting @1:18. He's holding the young samurai's katana & wakizashi.
*I watched this scene 3 times to be sure.

This scene struck me later, as fridge logic is wont to do, the same way the ninja section did. It seemed over the top to have ninjas be these "evil mean moral-less monster" types, and this part?
I'm not saying this didn't happen, but...Japanese men? In a Japanese city? There wasn't even a caucasion boss to instigate. They just mobbed the Samurai for giggles. And cutting off his top not? Yet LEAVING him with his swords!?
Dramatic and powerful, but...with any luck, unrealistic.
Anyone who cuts my long hair will die a violent death

cutting a samurai's hair is like striping someone naked. you're taking away their dignity
