Growing up, "Enter the Ninja" was one of my absolute favorite movies back in the day. I based my life around it. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of work for Ninjas back in Florida... I had to learn computers instead. : (
-
I came for a look at a cool sword, came away with a Japanese history lesson. Great video.
-
15:08 dude, that armor is sick! You should do a video on it!
-
"Ooh that got me good" was an excellent, surprisingly relevant reference 😂
-
The Ninja Sword aka Ninjato was always a side weapon they would pick up katana but for lang range they used the Kusari-kama A sickle with a chain ending in a weight. These would be used more than the ninjato when fighting.
-
Samurai sees someone dressed all in black with a sword, sounds alarm. Samurai sees a gardener, ignores him until he gets cut by a sickle.
-
Excellent job Presenting the "real facts" of the Shinogi, A pretty well done sword, nice homage to a class of warriors from a rich Japanese past
-
Also should mention that the actual documented ninja on what we have documented somewhat where ones that only used katana, so most likely the ninja sword didn't exist but I do agree that maybe most ninja that didn't have any money used old mass manufactured blades or picked up used blades from the battlefields or the battalions in forested areas that they where paid out to kill.
-
Fun Fact: there were Ancient Mystery Schools training assassins worldwide. From the Ninja in Japan to the Middle Eastern Hashish smoking inspiration for the word Assassin. Mystery schools teach alchemy & other skills which allows for the making of poisons, weapons, etc as well as how to influence & manipulate people. Such schools are still alive & well today.

As always a top quality production! Very much appreciate the deep dive research into obscurity. You're looking real good D, good form despite the handicap wrist and blade length. Perhaps an idea for future video is weapons of the gangs like yakuza, for example a tuna sword.
-
Cool review. Another reason "ninja swords" look the way they do: like you mentioned pop culture and kabuki theatre were the way the legend of the ninja was spread, I've heard it said in the past that the swords the ninja used on stage were short and straight because they were easy to produce. The size may also be to theatrically pull from the back, rather than have any sort of function. There you go, pop culture does it again!
-
Ahhhh i love when you randomly pop up D. You are legendary my man.
-
Thank you for the awesome review and short history lesson! Will be sharing to our social media soon.
-
Cutting tatami on a roof like that. Legend.
-
Ninjutsu was a skill set, known by the people of Iga and Koga, and the Samurai.
-
Hope the wrist heals up well Great video. I may have to add a new sword to my collection soon to now, lol
-
I feel like you just brushed over the origins of the all black outfit so quickly that the viewer wouldnt have had time to absorb it. Ninjas were spies, and the idea that a stage hand, whom the audience had been trained to subconsciously ignore, could be involved in the story and be the assassin??? That is a revolutionary plot twist that NOBODY could've seen coming. It's no wonder the longevity and popularity it brought about, who could ever get over that plot twist? The first 4th wall break ever!?
-
"Especially the white ones..." That had me rofl-ing so bad hahahahaha
-
Super cool video man. Love the format of education before a review. Quick question, where do you get your tatami mats for cutting?
-
I'm Japanese, but the only thing I know about ninjas is from what I used to watch in theaters back in the day. Lol. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I learned something. Thank you!
