  • I liked Ultraman and Gojira fighting in the background. Very good, comprehensive vid on Japanese uniforms. Looking forward to more.
  • @caterr5584
    I love how youve shown the last ditch rifles jamming instead of firing, the attention to detail is great
  • @crystalrock18
    I haven’t heard the Japanese national anthem since I left Misawa Air Base in 2011. As odd as it may sound it was really nice to hear it again after these years. The JASDF is an outstanding group of men and women dedicated to defending the skies of Japan. I have a lot of respect for them.

    こんにちは😀 I am Japanese.About 10:55. There is no fact that the G36 rifle was adopted by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Special forces are using the HK416 rifle. But the video was very simple and interesting. ありがとう

    I suspect within the next 10 years, they might start reviving other branches of their military and start bringing it back to its old strength in order to properly respond to growing Chinese aggression in the region. And it seems the US is also pushing for that since it seems they want a smaller role in protecting Japan all by itself since it also has to help other countries in the region with the same issue.

    "Fighting giant monsters is a JSDF tradition!" I laughed so hard when I saw Godzilla and Jet Jaguar that was a great Easter egg
  • @user-ts5pi3qh8d
    As Japanese, I liked how they carried the Katana, godzilla ultraman and etc.... It is very accurate and made me satisfy. Now I am your fan, keep up your great work!!

    I am Japanese. There were some differences and mistakes, but there were very few. It's wonderful to organize foreign cultures so beautifully!

    China: You Japanese could not defeat us during World War 2! Japan: WE were different and alone! Now we have India, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and the USA on our side!
  • @Bunny-zn7ke
    NOTE: the Japanese actually had helmets in 1918, you can look up the model 1918, its similar to Adrian. PS: this was re-uploaded, bc of some issues and glitches.
  • @TheAverageSushi
    Missed a uniform between 1950 and 1960, it was an OD uniform that tucks just like an OG-107, but is domestically made and designed. To be fair, the JSDF didn’t receive many hand-me-downs and made/domestically produced their own equipment between the 50’s and late 70’s. Edit: The uniform they missed is called the Type 65 OD uniform. It would see service and would never be officially replaced by the Type 1 uniform even by 1985.
  • @Cloudrunner5k
    I had the distinct pleasure of serving along side JMSDF forces in 2012-2014. Will you be doing a progression of Japanese Naval uniforms?
  • @thatguy-qg9lk
    Since the boxer rebellion part exists in this video I'm already hoping an entire video gets made
  • @GugsGunny
    Because of an anime titled Gate, I found out that although the Howa Type 64 was chambered in 7.62 NATO, the ammo they were using had reduced powder charges. This was for less recoil for an average Japanese soldier.
