We really appreciate the support! Please share this video around to appease the algorithm gods. Only a couple days left of the Halloween Photo Contest! There are varying opinions on the stats for the bow. ※矢の飛距離については諸説あります
TLDR: The stats on the bow mentioned in the video aren't that much different than the English longbow being used during the same era. The draw weight mentioned in the video isn't crazy. For example, there were original 16th century English longbow staves that were recovered in the wreck of the Mary Rose that had been sunk deep in mud in a harbor, preserving the wood. Over 170 of these bows were recovered, and historians were able to examine them to determine how they were crafted and get accurate ideas of their size and strength. From this research, it was determined that of the staves recovered, the draw weights (at 30 inches of draw) was between 100 lbs and 180 lbs (45-81 kg). The length of an English war bow was a little less than 2 meters when unstrung. Regarding range, testing with Mary Rose staves put ranges (depending on the type of arrow) between 250 and 320 meters. One thing to consider is that the Japanese bow discussed in this video has a longer drawn length than the English war bow; the English bow was typically around 30 inches, while the Japanese bow could be as much as 39 inches, with 30 inches being the bottom end. The longer the draw length, the more power the bow imparts to the arrow, allowing for greater velocity and, therefore, greater range. By the time of the Mongol invasion of Japan, the English longbow (war bow) had been in use for about a hundred years. It's completely reasonable for another culture to have developed similar technology in another part of the world at that same rough point in time.
These are very enjoyable history videos. Like extremely entertaining. Even if there's no more assassin's creed/ghost of tsushima stuff. Yall should keep going with these history videos, yall do a great job at making them fun and entertaining. I learned and laughed and that's nothing but good 😂
I'm from iki island, and my maternal family comes from Samurai clan. Mothers in my clan sing Mongolian invasion songs to babies, to pass down true info how brutally k i l l e d our islanders were. Stone walls are still partially kept to show children how far they invaded. There are multiple Shrines (Shinto) at where the mountains of corps of our people were piled up then. Even now we pray there and practice rituals to remember what happened. According to our traditions, we learn history from Jinja, Shinto shrines, cuz public schools are affected by international politics. When you are weaker than invaders, this is what happens. I hope people around the world takes it serious to protect their boarders.
@@peekaboo1575 I didn't understand many parts of this video to be honest. I was too tired after long work. But consult multiple raw sources, not indirect sources like rumors. You've gotta be there to get info, not from the internet to be honest.
@@mari-2-2-2 This is the frustrating part of the internet. I love to learn and love to research in my free time. But holy smokes is it tough sometimes when I wanted to learn more about the invasion of Tsushima and I read differing accounts from "experts." Thank you for posting your comment. Though it was about a rough part of history, I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn.
@@happilyisolated So very kind of you! Finding someone local would be nice to get info from! Perhapse you visit Tsushima someday! After Meiji era, all males in my clan serve in military. We are honored share the fate with our nation. We won't abandon our home.
oh the hostage part is so true, in Vietnam, after the 3 mongol failed invasion in Vietnam, the Yuan dynasty (China Dynasty ruled by mongol people, same dynasty that try to invade japan), request Vietnamese's King to go to meet the Yuan King to show that they submitted so Mongol won't wage another invasion, but the Vietnam's King and the rest of the court straight up refuse it, they knew that if the king go, he won't able to comeback to vietnam and will be held as hostage. And we kinda like: If you want another invasion? come at us bro. But after 3 humiliating defeat, combine with the failed invasion of Japan, the Yuan is just like not in the mood to try again so Vietnamese just send them gold and shit so they will stfu and leave us be.
i remember something worse for mongol in southeast asia, can't remember which one. so in one expedition, the messenger of mongol went to a king there and demanded tribute, the king got angry and mutilated the messenger's face, like cut the nose or ears or whatever, and sent him back. of course the mongol was livid and launched big invasion to destroy the king's kingdom. but after the mongol won, that kingdom's enemy attacked the mongol from behind. so the mongol lost and the surviving soldiers were basically enslaved by the new king there. after that, mongol didn't retaliate, maybe because they suffered too many losses in other areas.
@@outerlast i think it is the champa kingdom, they are the reason why Mongol launch first invasion of vietnam, because in order to reach Champa on land, they need to go through Vietnam, they order, yes order vietnam to give them pathway through the land to reach champa but vietnamese refuse so they launch an invasion to deal with both countries at once, end up got fucked by vietnamese.
@@quangnhat5345 maybe that, i can't remember. it was decades ago for student presentation on how the mongol was defeated. my group's assignment focused on ein jaloot, you know, after baghdad fell to mongol. south and southeast asia were other groups' assignments.
Who would win: One of the largest and most ruthless empires in the history of the world spearheaded by one of it’s greatest Khans, second only to Genghis himself OR Windy day in Japan
I love these videos! I’ve asked my Japanese wife to get drunk and make videos with me, she said “yaranai” but she may have misunderstood the ask. I don’t think we can put blame on Japan for the first use of bio weapons. The catapult was invented around 400 BCE in Greece. The siege of Caffa is often noted as the first use of biological weapons (plague victims flung over the walls) but flinging dead animals to cause disease etc was known for long before that. They had a thousand years in Europe to figure out what strange stuff to pack in a catapult.
You know, learning about Japanese history in this fun manner is really delightful. This channel can create a great niche of teaching Japanese history/culture in an engaging manner that other channels do not do, and you would not need to rely on video games to do so! Your dynamic with your wife is already quite engaging, entertaining, and fun to watch. Of course, with the new Yakuza game coming out, along with Assassin Creed Shadows, AND Ghost of Yotai…I’m sure you’ll be feasting too😅😅. Thank you for the history lesson. Your channel is very fun. I’m glad I discovered it!👍
In case anyone was wondering about the conversion at 4:42 from Metric to Imperial, 60 kg is about 132~133lbs. English longbows have been found to have ranged from 100 to 185lbs (about 45kg to 84kg) for comparison sake. Those are extremely heavy draw weights for bows. For 4:46, the arrow is moving at 196~197 feet per second. The rough way to convert draw weight to feet per second is for every 5-10 pounds you get 10-15 feet per second. This is the very rough way to do it as there are other factors like material the bow is made from, the length of draw and what the quality of the arrow itself is. 11:28 Don't apologize for that, the west had been dipping arrows in poison, blood, manure since the B.C. era. There is even a belief that Roman soldiers would sometimes dip their swords in manure and rotting corpses to cause Tetanus and other diseases. I've even read that Hannibal of Carthage had clay pots filled with snakes that his sailors would throw onto enemy ships. I'd rather have to deal with cleaning up a dead horse than searching the ship for several clay pots full of agitated, venomous snakes.
The manga and anime Angolmois Genkou Kassenki also portrayed the Mongol invasions and the Japanese forces remaining commanded by the MC Kichii Jinzaburo did some of the things mentioned in the video vs the invading Korean, Jurchen and Mongols during the first invasion in Tsushima Island. He conducted a night raid to put fear into the Korean forces, retrieved the heads of the jito (local lord) and his son while killing the field commander of the Korean forces and managed to conduct guerilla warfare for 7 days until the Mongols sent a massive force to defeat the remaining defenders. They also tackled the decision of the Kamakura Bakufu to fortify Hakata rather than send aid to Tsushima and Iki islands. The drama Hojo Tokimune also tackled the invasions and devoted episodes for that, one episode even showed both the Japanese and Mongol forces fighting inside Hakata. The forging techniques that the katana is famous for had developed immensely after the invasions since the Tachi, while sharp, chips a lot and at times, gets broken due to hardened Mongol leather armor. This led to Japanese swordsmiths studying chipped and broken Tachi in order to improve on them. The end result is the Tachi post invasions is thicker and more durable than pre-invasions Tachi which then led to the katana itself as it is known. Anyways, nice video and looking forward for more.
One thing you guys left out was that during the first invasion, the swords used by the Japanese weren't robust/strong enough to cut through the boiled leather armor worn by the Mongolians. That led to the stronger, sharper swords we know today. These historical videos are comfy. Cheers! ✌️
This is wrong. There are no sources supporting this claim, and Samurai sword couldn't cut samurai armor either (in fact, swords of any kind can't cut most armor, as armors are MADE to protect from sword cuts). Why would they expect to be able to cut the armor of their enemies? They didn't try to cut armor to begin with.
Cleaning your neck and putting on makeup to give the enemy a nice head if you fall in battle makes Samurai Spirits 1's intro about bushido and shurado more understandable, I respect that.
The dvd bouncing background is like dangling keys for my adhd brain lol Definitely helps my attention to the topic of the vid, this could even rival subway surfers gameplay 😂
Hey Dash and Wife, I REALLY LOVE THESE KIND OF VIDEOS. I'm a junkie for well put together videos talking about the crude history of our ancestors without the modern audience censorshops. I love you for being so open and to compile this data into a munchable and fun video 😸(Wife is so well cultured too! I love her history tidbits ❤)
Huh...so being captured means you lose your honor. I suppose this is what せっぷく is all about: it's your last droplet of agency, so it's more so seen as going out on your own terms.
This was a really interesting tale about the clash of two very different, not just armies, but also cultures and types of warfare. The Mongolian army must have been so confused after seeing the Japanese style of "total war", and why their usual intimidation tactics were only making their opponents fight even harder and reciprocate with more brutal acts. Love your videos. もっとお願いします。
Yeah Japanese back then were pretty savage. Albeit it was a fantasy theme, "Drifters" (anime) managed to catch their mentality and brutality pretty well.
Yeah samurai brutality was pretty much on par with what knights were like before the crusades. Guess this is just what happens when you have a warrior class with not many ways to hold back from doing whatever they pleased half the time.
I like how you and your wife were drunk and decided "lets talk about this suspicious time where the mongols tried bunch of tactics against the samurais and they're all failed"
You guys are the most normal sounding drunk people that I have ever heard. Are you ever sober ? LOL !!! I love learning history from you guys. T'is very fun. :') FUN FACT: A popular theory suggests that Orcs of Middle-Earth in Tolkien's writing could be inspired by the Mongol invasions into Europe. Along with Japan, India and Vietnam (and the most of South-East as well) prevented and survived the Mongol invasions.
Very nice vid, just subbed and now I'd love to see a video game representing of what actually happened to Mongolian force back then, much wilder than Ghost of Tsushima
60kg draw weight is impressive thats almost an english longbow and a half wonder if how they where used was very different english longbow was a peasant weapon mostly, so arching volley fire was typical but with your mounted elite carrying those weapons i wonder if you would get closer and try for strait shots turns it into a very different weapon eventho they function mostly the same
Sengoku Basara is so cool, I never actually played, just watched gameplay and Wife knows a lot about it Maybe I should stream it one day out of the blue lol thank you for watching!
11:21 why you do this to me, sudden nostalgia out of nowhere😭 used to play this game with my lil bro back on ps2, we dont understand japan a single and bit yet we havin a blast, grinding survival mode to getting secret weapon in basara2 is still my fond memories to this day
This explains the Jin Sakai character, rather than have fictionalized Kamakura Samurai, they took one character and made him more in line with the crazy Kamakura Samurai that DashBlue's wife does impressions of.
It is said to be true that Tsusima's Samurai were the first to charge the Mongolian army and all were killed; what GoT fantasizes is that two or three of them lived.
Everything just made more sense in those simpler times. You had a win on an enemy if you have his head at your dipsosal. With the face of of a samurai with eyebrows on fleek and with subtly rouche-faded cheeks looking at you from the book shelf, you knew you were ahead .
Now imagine how ridiculous it would be if I said, "oh no my ancestors how dare you laugh at that!" (even though contextually they were laughing at it being horrible and an embarassing point of history, indirect as it may be). That's what america is like all the time now. "I am offended from a topic ajacent to a topic I am offended by despite being generations removed".🤦♀️
This is why people like Tsushima even though the story is a complete fantasy and the actually lost in real life. Even though the story is fake everything else in it game wise respects the country and their culture. The thing they make fake is an event, not an entire person and it doesnt berate japanese history and people as a whole. Meanwhile on Ubisoft's end they not only disrespect everything in the gameplay environment, culture, everything, they made the entire changed based on one guy who they used as a stepping stone to suddenly blame the japanese for black enslavement which never happened in history. The japanese are more likely to kill foreigners they find or send them back out to sea than to enslave them, and then had the balls to say it was all facts. If they had just stuck to saying its fiction and respected japanese culture people would still cover one eye and leave it as is but they ignited the fury of an entire country and now are paying the price for it.
It's amazing how much historical information AC: Shadows has brought to us... I mean, completely unintentionally on their part, given their incompetence. But still! Another banger of a video, hope you have a great week Dash and Wife!
Don't worry, causing disease was a very old tactic, the Japanese didn't start it, whoever worked out how to throw things far enough did. But yeah the Japanese of this time period were noted for being fairly hotblooded, there is lots of talk of marital arms and weapon types but the reality is that the Japanese were scary because they had a contempt for death, they would throw themselves in their enemies. This is partly because rewards were for enemy heads and fighting was a financial investment, but the culture seeped through and thus Japanese in general seemed a tad insane to outsiders.
I get all my info about Japan form video games. I'm pretty Sure Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes is the most accurate. With Date Masamune wilding six swords. And Tokugawa Ieyasu punching armies with the power of the sun :) (Also, Honda Tadakatsu being a literal Tank xD )
I gotta say, when I started watching this I didn't expect the conclusion that, technically, Japan is kiiiiiinda responsible for the 14th century plague in Europe 😂 Learned quite a bit and it was overall very entertaining, thanks for the video!
Sengoku Basara is my fav game franchise. The all-star CVs, the action(DMC but better), the character design, and most importantly, the different dialect and manner everyone speaking are so damn cool and memorable. Unfortunately, it's been dead for nearly a decade. PS: RIP Keiji Fujiwara. Irreplaceable.
So because of you, the plague indirectly spread in Europe and killed 30% of the population... But I think it's good that Japan brought us anime/manga as an apology :D

69 kilos to be exact. This is not the maximum value used by the Samurai.
All bows and swords depend on the order person's tactics.

そんだけ圧倒してたんならなんでお前ら海の上におんねん？って感じで。

弘安の役では先に会敵した東路軍が橋頭保を築けず、後に合流予定だった江南軍は総大将が病気で遅れ
漸く合流出来たと思ったら台風直撃ってのが割と実情に近いと思われます。

Yeah Japanese back then were pretty savage. Albeit it was a fantasy theme, "Drifters" (anime) managed to catch their mentality and brutality pretty well.
Yeah samurai brutality was pretty much on par with what knights were like before the crusades. Guess this is just what happens when you have a warrior class with not many ways to hold back from doing whatever they pleased half the time.
ドリフターズという事は…日本でも「島津」は別格だよ
Didn't expect chemical warfare in there. Stinky.
Also, Sengoku Basara sighted. Let's go!
I like how you and your wife were drunk and decided "lets talk about this suspicious time where the mongols tried bunch of tactics against the samurais and they're all failed"
Put this channel into my list of channels that I can say that I was here at the start before 1 million subs.
1 million, man I wish lol
thank you for the support!
You guys are the most normal sounding drunk people that I have ever heard. Are you ever sober ? LOL !!!
I love learning history from you guys. T'is very fun. :')
FUN FACT: A popular theory suggests that Orcs of Middle-Earth in Tolkien's writing could be inspired by the Mongol invasions into Europe. Along with Japan, India and Vietnam (and the most of South-East as well) prevented and survived the Mongol invasions.
Speaking of Tolkien, I'd love to see Dash and Wife do a RoP dissection lol.
Whenever the dvd logo came i was waiting for it to hit a corner
It did here 17:13
An entertaining way to learn about Japanese history. Love it. 😊
This reminds me of the Pink panther movies where Clussou kept getting ambushed by Sato in the name of training.
蛮族の鎌倉武士でも、嫌々やらされていた南宋の兵士には優しかったんだぞ。ちゃんと捕虜にして送り返してる
南宋なら鎌倉時代に交流ありましたから、丁重にご帰国いただいたくのも納得ですね！そもそも元が日本に出張ってきた理由の一つに南宋とつるんでいたっていうのもあるようですし。
コメントありがとうございました！
Very nice vid, just subbed and now I'd love to see a video game representing of what actually happened to Mongolian force back then, much wilder than Ghost of Tsushima
You guys are so hilarious in the best of ways 😂
Inebriated Japanese Wife With No Name always cracks me up! Lol
10:25 SEE! She's hilarious! Lol.
thank you for the kind words!
As a European, don't worry about it, shit happened. Thanks for the history lesson
"All is fair in war... And love..."
Me thinking biological warfare is a relatively new thing, meanwhile, the Japanese and Mongolians just casually using biological weapons in the 1200s.
The most fun way to learn Japanese history :D
yay new vid
Thank you for watching!
I think I miss this history lesson from Ghost of Tsushima. Can u guys update the game, perhaps with a link to your video too? :D
Good idea, I'll tag Sucker Punch on Twitter lol
Thank you for watching!
So yesterday I fell down the stairs , I cannot move so Ty for the entertainment ❤❤❤
I hope you get better soon!
Thank you for watching as always!
Truth really is more wild than fiction
Bottom Left Corner money shot at 12:13
60kg draw weight is impressive
thats almost an english longbow and a half
wonder if how they where used was very different
english longbow was a peasant weapon mostly, so arching volley fire was typical
but with your mounted elite carrying those weapons i wonder if you would get closer and try for strait shots
turns it into a very different weapon eventho they function mostly the same
this could be a start of an entire series about the history of Japan
11:01 damn 'Sengoku Basara' was an awesome game, loved lady butterfly.. called 'Devil Kings' for release outside of JP
SENGOKU BASARA CLIPS?! I love you guys~
Sengoku Basara is so cool, I never actually played, just watched gameplay and Wife knows a lot about it
Maybe I should stream it one day out of the blue lol
thank you for watching!
Always great openers
11:21 why you do this to me, sudden nostalgia out of nowhere😭
used to play this game with my lil bro back on ps2, we dont understand japan a single and bit yet we havin a blast, grinding survival mode to getting secret weapon in basara2 is still my fond memories to this day
And Japan seems to win the title of The Most Unhinged Nation of the Middle Ages
rocket arrow car ! (4:50m)
This explains the Jin Sakai character, rather than have fictionalized Kamakura Samurai, they took one character and made him more in line with the crazy Kamakura Samurai that DashBlue's wife does impressions of.
If there's a M2TW and a Shogun 2 Total War crossover, this will be nuts!
It is said to be true that Tsusima's Samurai were the first to charge the Mongolian army and all were killed; what GoT fantasizes is that two or three of them lived.
We gotta start a petition to patch Jin Sakai into Tsushimas past..
We appreciate you :D
Everything just made more sense in those simpler times. You had a win on an enemy if you have his head at your dipsosal. With the face of of a samurai with eyebrows on fleek and with subtly rouche-faded cheeks looking at you from the book shelf, you knew you were ahead .
Now imagine how ridiculous it would be if I said, "oh no my ancestors how dare you laugh at that!" (even though contextually they were laughing at it being horrible and an embarassing point of history, indirect as it may be).
That's what america is like all the time now. "I am offended from a topic ajacent to a topic I am offended by despite being generations removed".🤦♀️
薩英戦争もお願いします。
You and Wife should do a review of Shōgun
This is why people like Tsushima even though the story is a complete fantasy and the actually lost in real life. Even though the story is fake everything else in it game wise respects the country and their culture. The thing they make fake is an event, not an entire person and it doesnt berate japanese history and people as a whole. Meanwhile on Ubisoft's end they not only disrespect everything in the gameplay environment, culture, everything, they made the entire changed based on one guy who they used as a stepping stone to suddenly blame the japanese for black enslavement which never happened in history. The japanese are more likely to kill foreigners they find or send them back out to sea than to enslave them, and then had the balls to say it was all facts. If they had just stuck to saying its fiction and respected japanese culture people would still cover one eye and leave it as is but they ignited the fury of an entire country and now are paying the price for it.
At 12:13 it hit the bottom left corner
It's amazing how much historical information AC: Shadows has brought to us... I mean, completely unintentionally on their part, given their incompetence. But still!
Another banger of a video, hope you have a great week Dash and Wife!
yeah we're thankful to Ubisoft in an odd way lol
thank you so much for the kind words!
Don't worry, causing disease was a very old tactic, the Japanese didn't start it, whoever worked out how to throw things far enough did.
But yeah the Japanese of this time period were noted for being fairly hotblooded, there is lots of talk of marital arms and weapon types but the reality is that the Japanese were scary because they had a contempt for death, they would throw themselves in their enemies. This is partly because rewards were for enemy heads and fighting was a financial investment, but the culture seeped through and thus Japanese in general seemed a tad insane to outsiders.
I get all my info about Japan form video games. I'm pretty Sure Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes is the most accurate. With Date Masamune wilding six swords. And Tokugawa Ieyasu punching armies with the power of the sun :) (Also, Honda Tadakatsu being a literal Tank xD )
Damn that was brutal... Definitely very far removed from the media and hollywood...
This is such a fun episode, I love these bit and piece from history. Also your channel make me want to have a japanese gf.
thank you so much for watching!
is it just me or dash sounds like linus tech... 😂😂
Commenting for algorithm
thank you so much!
this change everything. 😂😂
People from Europe... asemble!
I gotta say, when I started watching this I didn't expect the conclusion that, technically, Japan is kiiiiiinda responsible for the 14th century plague in Europe 😂
Learned quite a bit and it was overall very entertaining, thanks for the video!
Didn't expect to learn that the black death happened all because mongolians decided to pick a fight with the wrong island.
今回も面白かったです。
自分は、ゆっくり動画で見ただけなのでどの位事実かわかりませんが😅
確かな事は弥助問題がなければ、お２人に出会えなかっただろう事です。
生物兵器の時系列は、驚きでした。…マジっすか
コメントありがとうございます。
面白いとおもって頂けたら嬉しいです。
生物兵器の時系列はそうなんですが、中世ヨーロッパでも汚物や死体を投石機でぶん投げていたそうなので、古今東西の手法かもしれないですね。
もしアサクリシャドウズを発売してくれるのならば、感謝してプレイしたいと思います。発売するのならば…
Japanese wind gods are OP, man... Jesus...
they really were lol
thank you for watching!
Bro I'm learning Japanese history and having fun 😂 Thanks to the nameless wife who teaches us
Sengoku Basara is my fav game franchise. The all-star CVs, the action(DMC but better), the character design, and most importantly, the different dialect and manner everyone speaking are so damn cool and memorable. Unfortunately, it's been dead for nearly a decade. PS: RIP Keiji Fujiwara. Irreplaceable.
So because of you, the plague indirectly spread in Europe and killed 30% of the population... But I think it's good that Japan brought us anime/manga as an apology :D
As a European who died from the bubonic plague, I am unsubscribing
LOL
next upload will be an apology video with obligatory 'sigh' intro
Thank you for watching!
Was wondering who writes the scripts?
I also want to play Sengoku Basara
The thing that makes highly authoritative western 'scholars' tremble. A wife with no name who actually knows what the f she's talking about
