"conserving ammo" shows him raiding a farm while randomly shooting into the air.
yes

That's what he was conserving it for
Read the autobiography. Fascinating story.
Fought alone for 30 years in the jungle and died at the age of 91. This guy has the best survival skills.

As a Filipino, I can say the animations were accurate. The style of the village houses, The fatigue uniforms of provincial cops at that era, the vehicle (M151 utility jeep), the weapons used by the cops, and the farmers and their farmlands. Although I think the jungle looks more like a scene from Call of Duty World at War than the actual jungle here in the Philippines. Anyway, your animating skills are improving with every video you uploaded with the excellent storytelling and pleasing details. I'm glad that such a history channel with this effort existed on a free platform available to everyone anytime :)
@AVIATJET that's the most accurate part
@AVIATJET are you insulting us?
@@captrain7498 why is it that when someone criticizes the Philippines, filipino stans are unleashed?
Im also filipino
@@zaijiancelis they probably arent Filipino
I remember as a teen in the '70s hearing his story as it was being broadcast all around the world, and watching his triumphant return to Japan on the news. This video kind of down plays it, but there were hundreds if not thousands to greet his return. Japan suffered a humiliating defeat and surrender: this gave them a little of the dignity back. This was a huge story back then.
How old ar u ?
When you think the animations can't get any better, they just do. Props to the animators!
Yea they have just been getting better

Must’ve pissed off the local residents when he was pardoned by the president of the Philippines at the times, Ferdinand Marcos, upon being found and going back to Japan despite killing some of their friends and family who were unlucky enough to cross paths with him when he went out to hunt or steal their food and supplies.
Is it just me that Yarnhub’s Voice is satisfying or is it just me?

You have a gift to tell stories so nicely and to the point, without removing any of the touching emotions coming from those life stories. I am always deeply touched by your videos. Thank you very much.
Wow, thank you!

Welp,
As a Filipino.
This story was one of the underrated stories to be taught in the Philippines. Same as the education system never really teaches about his long journey (or rare).
So thank you for sharing this deed to those Filipinos who don't know this story.

Onoda: *Kills 50 Philippine Farmers*
Japan: "yay he's a hero"
Philippines: "Oh ok"
*sad cat thumbs up*
Yeah, I don’t blame him,
But he regrets from
His actions at least
@@accent1666 if he had murdered any of family, I figure I'd be probably be a little peeved they just let him go.
ggg ggg I mean, I personally can’t blame him when Imperial Japan was culturally very fanatical, so much it would even compare to the levels of ISIS, and combine that to the fact that surrender is dishonorable, dying while fighting or suiciding for the Emperor was the opposite of that and he’s a soldier, so it would become clear as day of why he would keep fighting
@@accent1666 yah and alot of serial killers who've murdered less than him grow up in broken environments but dont get slaps on the wrist
Everyone: _Talking about Onoda never surrendering until the 70s_
Me, 2:24 into the video: Holy shit a plant at that guy.
Well noticed
Bro spelling is “ate”
I had the pleasure of meeting Onoda san when I was in elementary school. He taught us how to clean chicken and make a shelter from scratch…I didn’t know all that he endured in the Philippines back then but he was kind. He said he would mainly eat cattle to survive and I remember asking if he ate anything else but he said no and said he didn’t want risk getting sick from eating wild animals.
We made wooden coasters as one of our activities and I had him sign mine. I still have it to this day.

Thank you Yarnhub for taking my suggestion for this video. I'm so happy you decided to tell his story!
I also wanted to add that while in Brazil in 1980, he learned of a Japanese teen who had killed his parents. He moved back to Japan in 1984 and established the Onoda Shizen Juku which was a school for troubled youths. He also revisited Lubang in 1996 donating $10,000 to the local schools. He spent 3 months a year in a brazil and passed away from heart failure in Tokyo in 2014.
6:54 he's going to Brazil (literally)
No
He’s going to Ohio
I have been watching your videos since midnight to 3am and im still not bored lol
Omg, you guys jumped from 20 k all the way to 150k in so little time! CONGRATS!!!!!
Well as you asked i think that your videos deserve more views and subscribes.
Thanks for covering this topic! My grandfather fell victim to the soldiers, luckily he only got grazed, at least there’s a video on UA-cam now to show at a party!
without a doubt Yarnhub is the best history channel with astonishing quality and detail. Also it is so different than other history channels. Honestly thank you for your content and your effort.
Now imagine this epic animation with the story of Op. Market Garden.
Amazing work like always Yarnhub.
Whoa operation market garden I know right?!?
I've read Onoda's biography.
He was actually an Imperial Japanese equivalent to Special Forces.
Which is why he just kept going.
(If he surrendered without orders from the Commander: He would have been labelled with "Shame.")
(It's kind of like being branded from Inglorious Basterds. And having to live with it, for the rest of your life.)
This channel is too good at this
That was really good. I've watched a half dozen micro-documentaries about this committed Nippon soldier, Onoda. And this one, well, this one is my favorite. It might even be the best one.
Keep up the good work.
Peace.
Omg that's my country Philippines
My Grandpa heard this before and this is the reason why he joined the army so he could protect my mom and grandma they are still alive today but my grandpa's gun got surrendered like on 1980s but he still got 4 Shells of Bullets as remembrance
Thanks Yarnhub 👍
ahh yes another one
I loved the video! What a cool story that I had never heard before! The CGI was breathtaking and the overall production was amazing. Awesome, guys!
He also contributed a lot to the island after his surrender. He made a bunch of visits and donated to the local schools and stuff if I remember correctly
I really doubt that. He murdered & robbed their family members. They hated him.
@@dans.5745 cant speak for the populace but he donated 10 thousand to the school on the island and was granted a full pardon by the president. If you read about him he was an insanely humble guy. Just took his code of honor way to seriously lol
Ensign Onoda was drilled in special missions such as espionage, espionage, counterintelligence, disguise, infiltration, and destruction at a secretly established school. The instructions at the special school, which taught guerrilla tactics, were "Survive no matter what shame you may face, even if you are stigmatized as a national bandit," and "Live as long as you can to carry out your mission.
This channel just keeps on improving ❤️
even a pandemic couldn't stop you guys.
Stay safe guys.
thanks and hoping for more quality contents
The animation is fantastic. Able to portray some intense pieces of history in a general all approachable way. With that said I have been moved to tears by your videos before. Jolly good show!
I heard of this story before. But you guys bring it back to life! ❤️
Bro: your going to Brazil
Onoda: ok.
Last words before death
I know his story. He was super dedicated to his mission . But still people where killed because of it. I am confused should we blame him or not
I'd say no, he genuinely didn't know the war was over so you cant blame him for doing what he did. Though I think he did go a little overboard.
A lot of things about Imperial Japan are confusing. Was it backwards and ignorant? Was it a regime of hate? Have they truly atoned, or did they only pretend because they lost?
@@moblinmajorgeneral Imperial Japan is gone. Now it's a democratic monarchy which means the power rests in the hands of the Prime Minister
War is bad no matter who or why. Yes he should be blamed for the deaths.
@@kaizermierkrazy6886 Yeah his story is kinda sad
I heard about this guy when I was a kid in the 70s! Again, you guys really do a great job with these!! Thank you!
Salute to you sir for your loyalty to your country
Love and respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
The video is misleading. Hiroo Onoda was not fighting for his country against the Americans. He was killing & terrorizing the Filipino civilians, just as the Japanese Army had done in China, Burma, Malaya, DEI & Philippines during the war. He is no hero, he was a war criminal. If Japanese holdouts target civilians, then they are criminals. Imagine if some Indian Army holdouts from recent wars had gone around the country killing & stealing from Bangladesh farmers, would they be called heroes or criminals? Maybe someone should go ask the Filipino people that he interacted with, what they thought of him?

Amazing as always. I heard and saw some videos about Hiroo Onoda - the man who lived and fought a war that ended. I remember he moved to Brazil and raised a farm at the Colônia Jamic (Jamic Colony), the Japanese community in Terenos, Mato Grosso do Sul. Onoda also allowed the Brazilian Air Force to conduct trainings in the land that he owned.
Awesome Quality Content brother 👌
It always makes me happy seeing a new video, especially when I get to find out something new or just in more detail. Keep up the amazing work.
He was a damn good soldier, no matter what side he was on.
Agreed
Idk man, killing civilians is kinda evil.

Depends on the country if its america he will surrender because america don't teach that kind of idea

Nazis were also just “following orders”
He returned back to Philippines
and did some outreach programs helping the farmers and nearby schools near the jungle where he used to hide
You have become my favorite historic video channel on UA-cam! I share your videos on my FB page.
Thank You !
Thanks for covering this story. I also have to commend the quality of the models on the people! I guess a video mostly focusing on the men without many vehicles helps with that!
I hope you can keep up the quality, and frequency of these videos, because it's spectacular!

@@AmericanIdiot7659 Just because you have a funny comment on youtube, doesn't mean you have to edit it to thank people for the likes.
It wasn't the right thing to do, but it's nothing short of incredible to not give up for almost 30 years of being alone. That level of loyalty and dedication is praiseworthy
Even Onoda came to Brazil, now you too is going to Brazil
I guessed that this was something about vietnam or something in WWII but I forgot to comment, but it seems like my second choice was correct.
Anyways, Nice video yarnhub! You are the person who made me more interested in history, I've been with you guys since the time when the Bf-109 spared a stricken B-17, So thank you for animating these and thank you for making me learn something new.
Edit: Grammatical error.
ahh yes some Japanese soldiers in Vietnam imagine...
Fun fact: boiled Bananas are a popular snack here in the Philippines. Great video Yarnhub.
I actually envy you because you made a video with Sabaton.
Is anybody going to comment just how beautiful this scene is? 1:50

Everyone should give Supernova in the East by Dan Carlin a listen.
At the moment it's a 4 part series podcast on the Japanese in WW2
Part 5 is still to come. It's a marvel
Im filipino but that dosent matter
Cause i respect the loyalty of a japanese soldier
I remember watching this on the news when he surrendered
Not a topic of video I like to watch but still a very excellent video, the lighting is beautiful and so is the animation
My paternal grandfather was from Lubang island. He told my dad the story about Onoda. At that time, My Grandfather said to my dad about Onoda staying on my grandfather's land (and allegedly even meeting Onoda himself). Though he didn't know much because he was still a child back then. Its quite interesting to see that my family got to live on to tell stories about this.
4:51 yeti and panda behind if some of you didnt see
I saw the panda at first
I did not see this coming... 'cause only a few people talk about the Philippines

"He went to brazil"
Oh frick..... no wonder he died
he goes to japan and sees anime: no wonder he moved to brazil

I was expecting a panda or a yeti but i found a lost soldier
The panda is in the back ground lol
U guys have to be my favorite channel
THEY ACTUALLY HEARTED IT
Absolutely amazing story. The dedication these imperial Japanese Troops had not only to their Emperor, but their entire homeland is absolutely amazing. To think that Onoda fought for over 30 years without surrendering is mind boggling, but is understandable given the severe consequences soldiers would face if they gave up or abandoned their duties. In their minds, there were only 2 options: Victory, or Death. I always enjoy reading and learning more about fanatical soldiers like Onoda
