Excellent story telling. How sad that a young man with such heart and talent was so betrayed and Benkio was in the end his true brother who shared the good and bad The most painful , is betrayal by blood. The deepest respect and love is sometimes, the bond of brothers of different mothers whose faith in each other is unshakable- even when facing death. I as both a woman and not Japanese, am beginning to have a glimpse of understanding the core of the Warrior’s Way and why these men thought and acted as they did. War is horrible even if it is for a good reason. Yet their lives transcended beyond the battle field to live on in hearts and minds not to be forgotten. That is powerful imagery.
A martyr holds immense power over their followers, embodying the ultimate sacrifice for a cause greater than themselves. Their willingness to endure suffering or face death becomes a powerful symbol of conviction, inspiring devotion, unity, and a renewed sense of purpose within the movement. The martyr's story serves as a rallying cry, deepening the commitment of their followers and transforming their legacy into a source of strength, resilience, and motivation for those who continue to pursue the cause. In this way, a martyr's sacrifice transcends their own life, igniting a powerful and enduring spirit among those who believe in the same ideals.
I'm making a samurai armor and I watched a few videos about cool samurais to get inspire for my armor. I Heard about this Legend called Benkei and then here I am crying at 3am. Thank you!
This is already engaging me, only three minutes in!!! For me, a Western viewer and admirer of this genre, I am delighted to see such a multidimensional 'Japanese stock' character. He is both tender and passionate with the woman he loves, and sweet with his daughter when seeing her for the first time.
Wow ~ Ken Matsudaira ~ The Warrior Monk ~ What a great movie and sad story !!! When anything's about War it's the most cruelty and saddest things happened !! Thanks again *SAMURAI VS NINJA * for the upload really appreciate 😘😍😭🙏👌✌️👍👏❤️
Thank you for posting this great story. Although many liberties were taken with the 15th Century chronicle, this is a beautiful film, and in essence it remained true to the source. For more, read "Yoshitsune" and "The Tale of the Heiki", both translated by Helen Craig McCullough. The episode at Ataka has been the source of many Noh and Kabuki plays, and a famous film by Akira Kurosawa: "The Men who Tread on the Tiger's Tail".
Interesting that Ken Maatsudaira acted as Benkei again in a 2005 drama called Yoshitune. He's truly born for the role! I can't imagine anyone else being the giant monk! Oh, and the actresses playing Shizuka and Tomoe are beautiful. Are they Yoko Minamino and Akiko Hinagata? Anyone knows?

Большое спасибо. Благодарю авторов и переводчиков канала. Этот фильм про честность, верность своим идеям и бесстрашие перед смертью. Такие люди имеют большое значения для всего мира и всего человечеста.
I learned and hear since young about Benkei and Ushiwakamaru legendary Japanese story. This is a very beautiful version of their epical story.
I am really liking the actor who played Benkei
He is Matsudaira Ken. You should check out Abarenbo Shogun.
thank you for the movies. I am crazy over samurai movies.
This movie made this old tough guy drop a tear... beautiful story
Honestly one of my most watched channels including cable
Much appreciated

The samurai armor is exquisitely beautiful!
What a wonderful story even with the sad ending. Thanks for bringing us more of Ken Matsudaira's movies!!!
Beautiful movie, which makes me want to learn about the historical characters of Benkei the warrior monk and Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Thanks.

For those unfamiliar, he is the inspiration for YGO card Armed Samurai: Benkei

When Benkei fought Yoshitsune that's literally how I felt fighting against Yoshitsune in Nioh 2.
