@@danielstapleton8611 Did Naruto had a life vest when he was training his chakra to walk on water? How are you going to be an anime protagonist without taking risks?
There are legends of a girl, a teenage girl who weilds the sword of her dead master, haunted by the memories of those she couldn't save. Watch out subway brawlers, you are not safe from Shinirimo Seijuro.
No the only subway we have in Phoenix is the sandwich store. That incident was in the light rail - what major metro areas that don't care about public transit have to look like they do. The funniest thing is the drivers area which consists of a lever he can use to make it go faster or slower and a screen showing the mph that starts to go nuts if he exceeds 30mph. Fun fact: the week it opened many cars crashed into despite the fact that the roads were torn up for like 2 years while they built the track so it's not like an extremely slow train in the middle if the street should have been a huge surprise.
@@xthunderclesx it happened because people here don't know how to drive and aren't thinking about anything but themselves. Like where they can shove in to jump in line, Who they can cut off to get to the fast lane, thinking they don't need to do more than 35 or 40 to merge on to a 65 mile an hour freeway, etc...
His soul was split between the two swords. One light, one dark, they were sold to separate corners of the globe to bestow great power upon those who wielded them, corrupting or purifying all they touched. Until now... WELCOME TO THE NEW STAGE OF HISTORY.
They say the moment Kairo touched the bottom of the ocean, the resturaunt owner who harassed him finally succumbed to his cuts, not realising he himself was already dead. Blood sprayed like a fountain as his body fell to pieces.
Legend says he heard him hit the ground even though he was not around him, Kairos sword was sheathed before he died and with that. The word "what?" Left the managers lips before he exploded. Or so they say...
@@ChicDead26 A lot of people drown because their body simply couldn't go any farther. Panicking makes it harder. Falling overboard in dangerous bodies of water can still kill people who have pfd's on, we have many cases here at the end of the Mississippi River each year of people falling overboard and drowning, even with pfd's on.
@@ObnoxiousCamoToe Yeah, i get ya. Still, learning how to swim will also bring your confidence up. Not saying it would've saved everyone that has ever drowned on stationary water ever, but surely would've brought the number of cases down. Right?
I'm kind of disappointed that his body was recovered. It would've been exactly what Kairo would want, for only his legendary blade to survive him and be passed on to his young protogé.
Obviously water was his only weakness: the rain outside the restaurant, the drowning. He wanted to train around his only true enemy and become the greatest sword master of all. RIP Kairo Seijuro.
+Sexy Potato He didn't die, he was summoned by a God, as a Hero in another world... he was our best swordsman, and now he got a harem of elf girls saving that world from the Demon Lord.
@@stevenboelke6661 Let's be real, this guy was single-minded enough that sex probably didn't even exist in his mind in the presence of a sword. Rest in peace Cario of Egypt.
Actually a pretty tragic ending for someone who was clearly mentally ill from a young age. There are always a few kids around who were bullied seeking solace in anime and fantasy worlds but others take it over the top. Kairo obviously being one of those unhinged types, allowed his delusions of grandeur to engulf him so completely they became his means of self preservation and identity in a world he probably felt had betrayed him or couldn't understand his ways. The thought of being some master swordsman and the obvious delusional mental state most likely were the driving force behind his abusive behavior if the stories his "brother" claimed were factual. The way he threatened a business owner over being told he couldn't carry a sword inside is a good example of that. Honestly he's lucky he never had police question his motives because he seemed like the type that would have tried attacking them and ended up being shot dead over his own stupidity.
I would take being shot to death over drowning any day of the week mr UA-cam psychiatrist. Do you take insurance? I need some meds...😆 you sound just as crazy as the weeb
I am Japanese and I'd like to pitch in on the significance of Japanese naming. Seijiro is an old name that are seldom used in modern Japan. It was more appropriate in the Meiji era and early on. Much like Seijiro, Tomegoro, Misohachi, Yojirobe, and etc name that you may be familiar, all those names are retired naming reserved to reflect old Japan through stories and fables.
@Ephin I feel like a good equivalent could be something like Gawen or Percival - a real name that isn't really used anymore and mostly associated with legendary characters like the knights of the round table, or their equivalent in Japanese culture.
You're right, Sophia. My cousin died about 8 years ago. It was 2 years that nobody bothered messaging FB about it, so I finally did. About a week later it was memorialized. I don't know what happened on their end, or if they contacted other family members.
Yea I did the memorializing process when my step dad passed. Luckily the funeral home had set up a online obituary that I could point zuckbook to for proof.
Alright, but, as a lonely weeb, he lived the dream for a while there. He saved a stranger and was considered a hero by the masses. He accomplished the task I can only fantasize about. Bless him.
Rip Kairo. He may not have been a good person, he may have been a weeb, he may have been a 30 year old man going to a private and secluded location with a 16 year old girl, but he... Uh..... He was... A guy?
Wasn't this Arizona? What's the aoc there out of curiosity? It's 16 in some states. It's still strange but hopefully he was really just going to teach her samurai skills lol
It would've been a disaster. Last time someone cut a body of water in half was by someone praying to god, causing it to stay up for days to let some people to the other side of the river. If Kaizo did that there wouldn't even be water on earth for months and we would be living in a mad max like world until it rained undrinkable salt water filled with all types of marine lifeforms for years!
He didnt fall off the kayak. The kayak drifted and he tried to catch up to it swiming. I guess dedicating so much time and effort to the blade means sacrificing other skills like swimming. His death is a testament of his skill and talent for the blade.
If I'm not mistaken, he said in the original video that he took like 10 fucking minutes to "set up" for this brilliant five stage plan of his. In reality, all he had to do was get their attention and make it clear that he's threatening them with a fucking sword lol. Fight over, minus the ten extra minutes of you letting this poor guy get the shit kicked out of him.
Imagine if he instead died by one of the 2 guys he chased off the train coming back for revenge like some anime twist where the antagonist returns from defeat
@@Skillionaire9 I doubt it has anything to do with being able to swim, if 4 people died that year I'm sure it has to do more with the currents dragging him under.
Hearing you say he screamed “NO!” before drowning made the story feel all too real. I was laughing until I imagined what he must have been thinking as he died. Sends chills down my spine
nah .. what he thought was normal shit when everyone dies .. you really gotta worry when they say "NOT AGAIN!" cause there just may be something to that ..
In high school I had a friend named Bryan who was obsessed with Anime. He would tell us grandiose stories that were obviously fake and would claim to have friends most of which were named after Anime characters. He would talk of his friends killing people with swords and shit like that. It was really sad, we never called him out on it cuz we felt bad.
His apprentice now carries her fallen master’s blade even taking it up as her moniker, Katana. She's got my back. I would advise not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.
"So I decided to reveal the truth about this hypocritical way of living and making your roommates who buy your food, starve." I don't know if I'd call that hypocritical...profiting off of a group of peasants who produce your food even if they starve seems pretty much how a real samurai would do things.
Only to return when the world faces annihilation from ancient demons awaken by the evils of man. A hero will rise from the river and cut through darkness, like water carving earth so the sun can shine through and give us the strength to stand by and fight with our hero Kairo Seijuro. The lotus of the leaf blooms twice.
The DMC threads on /v/ have been throwing this weeb some Fs in remembrance. He got popular there for a gif if his interview edited with Vergil hair and a style meter. Truly a legend, I'm so happy for this episode, someone needed to cover this dude
@@niga3 lot of local ppl thought he faked it. They did find a body, but look into Clearlake, it’s a shady place lol, especially back then…the whole story was weird. He was weird lol
@@mastaslash880 very shady at times cause the tweakers rolling everywhere n such, highland park in Clearlake especially. What area did they finally find his body in never saw the article
A funny thing about this guy. There's a tabletop RPG (Like D&D) called "Mutants & Masterminds" that is about super heroes, and I used him as an NPC hero for years. He actually became one of the most powerful characters in that setting, like something out of an anime. Our group called him the Lightrail Ronin.
You can meet some crazy / kinda cool people in the park. There’s this one dude who lives In my neighborhood who like walks all day every day throughout the neighborhood, always talking to himself almost like he’s holding a conversation with other people but it’s just him. I have chatted with him a bit before though usually he won’t notice if you call out to him . Apparently he’s been doing it for at least a few years and knows a lot about little changes in the neighborhood and surrounding parks and forests
@@jonathanwarrdddedcxddeecec4787 When something big is about to happen that guy will scream and warn all of the people there... So pay close attention to his behavior!! Incase anyone misses my point... I'm joking
The irony is that it was the weight of that sword, either in lb-age or sentimentality, that ultimately led to his death. So in many ways he was correct because if he didn't chase after it after he capsized his kayak he'd have definitely caused some sort of trouble. Somewhat of a reverse monkey's paw situation.
He was actually a big meme between my friends a few weeks before he died, and I researched him quite a bit in those times. Sometimes I do wish to know what things would be like if he were still alive today, the memes would be immortal.
yeah people forget especally with clearly autistic but higher functioning folks like this the difference between a functional albeit potentially eccentric adult, and an absolute nutjob is almost entirely guidance and social structure. If people help them figure things out, particularly social ques and the like, they can pull it off very well, otherwise, its a mixed bag
@@WhaleManMan Oh wow I didn't know we had a moron who can't make basic inferences from context and video evidence including but not limited to a fucking unauthorized video tour of his bedroom. I don't have to be omniscient or his fucking father to know a few things about the life of a guy who is batshit enough to tell a news crew with a straight face that he's a fucking samurai. In closing, go fuck yourself :) (Man comments are more fun when you stop giving respect to asshole strangers.)
Brandon Sergent There’s no proof in those videos. Just a dirty room, holes in a door, and a conveniently offscreen argument. If anything, he’s probably a guy who knew Kenneth who was spiteful for some reason.
Only his sword (and the teenage girl he was with) survived the rough waters that day. It's poetic and speaks volumes of this great samurai. He knew his soul would transcend this plane of existence, but his sword wouldn't. So he selflessly secured that katana to his kayak, so it could someday connect with a new master. RIP Subway Samurai... only the good die young.
I know, right? Everything's become so fucking bland and watered down to comply with the ever-changing monetization scheme... Right now everyone should stick a little Whang in their -mouth- life
Yeah. Internet culture and history is a really interesting topic. I watch these videos with a smile on my face, even if the topic is something I knew about.
His samurai spirit did not allow him to surrender his sword and soul to the river and gave his life to save it, we lost a proud warrior that day. He held his sword with pride till the last breath, only screaming "NO" to the gods to not separate him from his love, his protector, his soul....but even gods can envy such a great hero, and ignored the plee.

Man, the fact that he went back for the swords and drowned but she survived and the swords were recovered makes this story seem like the beginning of an anime arc for the girl. Rip Kairo.
I’ve heard this story a few times over the years but this is the first time hearing the whole truth. Most people haven’t done the research and paint him in a hero light. He may be a hero for those two guys on the train, but I think that’s about it.
You just hate him for being weird and not conforming to your views of a socially acceptable person but he was a fuckin' hero and thus has done more than you will ever do, you envy his fame and actions.
The live action censored the part where he slew all of the evildoers in three quick strikes. They all fell as soon as he sheathed his katana. The live action version was dogshit and anyone that prefers it is a confirmed philistine.
I always have to prepare myself for a Whang video. It's an event for me. Gotta get some good food & drink, throw it up on the big screen, and put my feet up. Can't watch it any other way.
RIP Seijuro-San. You may be gone, but your prowess with the sword will never be forgotten. Maybe some day your apprentice will avenge your death and finally destroy the water demon that consumed your Soul.
Whang! I commend you on your ability to, with a straight face and seriousness, read the quotes from others with respect to their grammatical and spelling errors. I don't know how you do it but every time I hear you read the errors without breaking, I, unfortunately, break with laughter every time. So, amongst the many reasons I love your channel, topics, coverage, and overall attitude, one of the top reasons for my supporting you is this aforementioned Jedi-like quality you exhibit. Thank you very much for all you do.
He was assassinated by ninja kappas using water constructed swords. Thousands died before laying a hand on him until the leader filled his lungs with water with his most powerful ninjutsu technique Hydro Pump Pillow Chocke. After they came back to Japan to celebrate their victory Kaizo's master defeated them all and forcibly placed the demons in an bottomless sake bottle to stop their watery terror. He places the bottle on Kaizo's grave to honor his adoptive son.
Oh? A story about somebody I actually interacted with. Edit: he used to drop by my local collectors market. We'd known about his train incident and he seemed pretty cool until you actually talked to him. He had a bad case of word vomit, it was like he was saying stuff just because it sounded cool. My dad who would come in with me told me to avoid him. He'd just hover around with the sword and never actually buy anything. He'd also freak out If you asked if the sword was real. One day I came in and a display case of transformers was cracked. Apparently he had banged the handle into the case. They said he was allowed to come back but freaked out when they told him to not to bring the sword in. He had a real meltdown about it. I think it's also because the store used to be pretty relaxed with local rules (there was a time where I'd buy stuff And they didn't tax me, needless to say that changed) oh, and I'm pretty sure the 16 year old apprentice was with him too. (She would have been about 14/15 around this time) I had no clue he actually died. I could have sworn he still hung around the local geek scene.
Interesting to see coverage of Kairo from a couple years after his passing. I knew him personally, I had visited his apartment in Tempe, and hung out with him on occasion (ate food, Japanese obv). The last year he was alive was the weirdest and unsurprisingly resulted in a visit from the FBI in regards to him. Fun times!
@@jakethehyena9327 nothing much more than what was already shared, I heard a lot of the same stories from him. There were a couple videos on his Facebook of him showing off his sword against a gallon of milk and saying some very borderline terroristic things, to which I messaged him to warn him he could be investigated for, and agreed to a visit in Clearlake just to catch up and hang out. That discussion found me being investigated and subsequently visited by the local FBI office, which was fun. What was great was being asked if I knew who he was by his real name and going, "Who?" as I've only ever known him as Kairo Seijuro. There's a small group of some of his family and friends, who think he may still be alive, or that if he's really dead, it was murder. Though I have no proof any which way, I have my own suspicions so I'm always looking out when walking around to see if I ever spot him again.
@@jakethehyena9327 well just checking sources again, they did recover his body about a week after the incident. I knew the initial searches came up with nothing, didn't really follow up much and kept distance because of the whole FBI thing, didn't even visit him like we had planned because of that visit. Should have either way, he was weird sure, but he was generally harmless unless you were attacking him or an innocent.
The water spirit managed to pull him down without his weapon. He fought for 3 days underwater before being defeated. We must beware the day the water spirit finally recovers from its wounds, for it will be a dark day for humanity.
You have to admit, his logic IS sound. Do you know how many meth heads are hired at reputable establishments? That girl making your 12$ burger has hep A and despite it being illegal to hire said person often times they are given jobs without a drug test. That person with a knife at the table over might just like to spend 80 dollars on food, ten on meth and nothing on diapers yet all these kinds of people are still armed. This guy goes around defending people and in his mind it doesn't make sense.

Thats what I thought. He would have just murdered a bunch of people. His first idea of breaking up a fight is using his katana.
Cant be a fight if theres only one person
Just in case.
If I'm not mistaken, he said in the original video that he took like 10 fucking minutes to "set up" for this brilliant five stage plan of his. In reality, all he had to do was get their attention and make it clear that he's threatening them with a fucking sword lol. Fight over, minus the ten extra minutes of you letting this poor guy get the shit kicked out of him.
this has to be the most unintentionally funny universe in the multiverse.
Imagine if he instead died by one of the 2 guys he chased off the train coming back for revenge like some anime twist where the antagonist returns from defeat
While we were all watching youtube videos, he was studying the blade.
Probably shoulda mixed it up with some swimming lessons.
Is that a Metatron reference?
True, but why clank a stainless steel replica sword when you could clank spoons instead?
@@Skillionaire9 I doubt it has anything to do with being able to swim, if 4 people died that year I'm sure it has to do more with the currents dragging him under.
I remember a quote similar to this in confinement.
Hearing you say he screamed “NO!” before drowning made the story feel all too real. I was laughing until I imagined what he must have been thinking as he died. Sends chills down my spine
theres probably nothing scarier then the realization that u are infact going to die and nothing u can do will stop it
He was probably trying to die like a true anime protagonist
My spine is still tingling. Can't wait for Kairo no Seijuro season 2.
@CatandBonez exactly
nah .. what he thought was normal shit when everyone dies ..
you really gotta worry when they say "NOT AGAIN!" cause there just may be something to that ..
In high school I had a friend named Bryan who was obsessed with Anime. He would tell us grandiose stories that were obviously fake and would claim to have friends most of which were named after Anime characters. He would talk of his friends killing people with swords and shit like that. It was really sad, we never called him out on it cuz we felt bad.

"I've actually become much more dangerous without the sword, so having it on me is more like a restraint mechanism."
And r/Iamverybadass was born.
The irony is that it was the weight of that sword, either in lb-age or sentimentality, that ultimately led to his death. So in many ways he was correct because if he didn't chase after it after he capsized his kayak he'd have definitely caused some sort of trouble. Somewhat of a reverse monkey's paw situation.
True badasses wear life jackets and practice good boating safety.
@@foxyfoxington2651 safety is for cool people
He was actually a big meme between my friends a few weeks before he died, and I researched him quite a bit in those times. Sometimes I do wish to know what things would be like if he were still alive today, the memes would be immortal.
So glad we weren't the only ones, i was starting to feel kinda bad after awhile

There’s no proof in those videos. Just a dirty room, holes in a door, and a conveniently offscreen argument. If anything, he’s probably a guy who knew Kenneth who was spiteful for some reason.
Only his sword (and the teenage girl he was with) survived the rough waters that day. It's poetic and speaks volumes of this great samurai. He knew his soul would transcend this plane of existence, but his sword wouldn't. So he selflessly secured that katana to his kayak, so it could someday connect with a new master. RIP Subway Samurai... only the good die young.

He held his sword with pride till the last breath, only screaming "NO" to the gods to not separate him from his love, his protector, his soul....but even gods can envy such a great hero, and ignored the plee.

I personally view this as a eulogy.
This dude is like an amalgamation of Whang's discarded Asian residue.
Disgoosting
It wasn't discarded, it left on its own accord. But it was a clean breakup and they still talk from time to time.
edit: also, amalgamation implies a combination of elements from different sources, unless said amalgamation would have accrued discarded residue over time, containing different 'aspects of Asian', for which an exception could be made.

I’ve heard this story a few times over the years but this is the first time hearing the whole truth. Most people haven’t done the research and paint him in a hero light. He may be a hero for those two guys on the train, but I think that’s about it.
Yea but we're not sure if those videos were factual
I mean we have clear proof of him being a hero, and a few exposing videos with no evidence or facts to back them up, just allegations. Sooo...
You just hate him for being weird and not conforming to your views of a socially acceptable person but he was a fuckin' hero and thus has done more than you will ever do, you envy his fame and actions.
@@anusaukko6792Obviously the jealous brother tried to bring shame to his sensei's name...
How does the manga compare to the live-action’s story?
The live action censored the part where he slew all of the evildoers in three quick strikes. They all fell as soon as he sheathed his katana. The live action version was dogshit and anyone that prefers it is a confirmed philistine.
They left out the part where he has a harem, fights captures then trains small animals/monsters, and a couple of other things
They rushed the end in the kayak arc, I think they ran out of budget to continue the series.

The moral of this whole story
Wear your personal flotation device.
And buy one for your sword, too.
Apparently he brought one, she didn't consent.
He didn't drown he was assassinated by an army of ninjas.
He was assassinated by ninja kappas using water constructed swords. Thousands died before laying a hand on him until the leader filled his lungs with water with his most powerful ninjutsu technique Hydro Pump Pillow Chocke. After they came back to Japan to celebrate their victory Kaizo's master defeated them all and forcibly placed the demons in an bottomless sake bottle to stop their watery terror. He places the bottle on Kaizo's grave to honor his adoptive son.
it was a crossover episode, he was assassinated by the Mizukage
What about Conservation of Ninjutsu?
he got a little "handsy" and she shoved him overboard, classic anime style water plunge
Aren't we all, aren't we all...
Oh? A story about somebody I actually interacted with.
Edit: he used to drop by my local collectors market. We'd known about his train incident and he seemed pretty cool until you actually talked to him. He had a bad case of word vomit, it was like he was saying stuff just because it sounded cool. My dad who would come in with me told me to avoid him. He'd just hover around with the sword and never actually buy anything. He'd also freak out If you asked if the sword was real. One day I came in and a display case of transformers was cracked. Apparently he had banged the handle into the case. They said he was allowed to come back but freaked out when they told him to not to bring the sword in. He had a real meltdown about it. I think it's also because the store used to be pretty relaxed with local rules (there was a time where I'd buy stuff And they didn't tax me, needless to say that changed) oh, and I'm pretty sure the 16 year old apprentice was with him too. (She would have been about 14/15 around this time) I had no clue he actually died. I could have sworn he still hung around the local geek scene.

Interesting to see coverage of Kairo from a couple years after his passing. I knew him personally, I had visited his apartment in Tempe, and hung out with him on occasion (ate food, Japanese obv). The last year he was alive was the weirdest and unsurprisingly resulted in a visit from the FBI in regards to him. Fun times!
Do you have any stories of him?
@@jakethehyena9327 nothing much more than what was already shared, I heard a lot of the same stories from him. There were a couple videos on his Facebook of him showing off his sword against a gallon of milk and saying some very borderline terroristic things, to which I messaged him to warn him he could be investigated for, and agreed to a visit in Clearlake just to catch up and hang out. That discussion found me being investigated and subsequently visited by the local FBI office, which was fun. What was great was being asked if I knew who he was by his real name and going, "Who?" as I've only ever known him as Kairo Seijuro. There's a small group of some of his family and friends, who think he may still be alive, or that if he's really dead, it was murder. Though I have no proof any which way, I have my own suspicions so I'm always looking out when walking around to see if I ever spot him again.
@@cynagen Thanks for sharing.
@@jakethehyena9327 well just checking sources again, they did recover his body about a week after the incident. I knew the initial searches came up with nothing, didn't really follow up much and kept distance because of the whole FBI thing, didn't even visit him like we had planned because of that visit. Should have either way, he was weird sure, but he was generally harmless unless you were attacking him or an innocent.
