Yes, especially when you're a greedy, selfish, arrogant darksider in power who will stop at nothing to prevent or reduce diversity in your country, such as a certain army chief from a certain Islamophobic country.
"My empress i know a magical ritual that will cast a spell to drive away the evil spirits that are stealing your health! However this ritual must be done without clothes, and requires a great deal of physical contact."
Not that uncommon in history. Cognomen in Rome were both given, and taken away, by the Senate, or just assumed, for example. Historically, names weren't the same as they are today, and we mustn't forget that. There's a reason why so many people are called Thatcher, Smith, and so on, and that's because names were usually just a description. Caesar and Augustus are the best examples of this, where caesar means "thick-haired", augustus means majestic or venerable, magnus just means great (e.g. in the name of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, commonly known as Pompey the Great or just Pompey), Rufus means red-haired, etc.

I’m really looking forward to the Meiji and Taishō eras, however many years from now that is. Things were changing fast and furious, and it was an interesting time.
The Meiji restoration government adopted a German imperial formulation of government. The Meiji emperor would have the equivalent of power the Kaiser(emperor) had.
@@amandajean7738 The Japanese Emperor is also a Shinto priest nonetheless. It was more similar to Pope, when they had the power instead of just a religion leader, despite adopting German imperial government.

He's Rasputin in the ancient Japan. in another story, Dokyo was an illegal child of Shikinomiko Prince of Emperor Tenchi. Dōkyō was given authority over religious and civil matters. It was told that there was an oracle of the whole country becoming Taihei if the road mirror was put on Emperor's rank from Usa Jingu. However, the Wakenokiyomaro did not get to the throne because it was petition that this oracle was false as the imperial court used. When the empress died, Dōkyō was banished from Nara. Mr. Yuge was a member of the bow-cutting division that made bows. There are some clans, but the lineage belonging to Dokoy (Yuge Muraji) is a clan of mononobe. Dokoy was a Monononebe family pedigree.
@@tcc5750 And I have to explain I am a Japanese My ancestors is Morozumi Bungo no kami Masakiyo, one of the twenty-four Generals of the Takeda Clan. He was sixth son of Granddaddy' of Shingen. In other words, the offspring of Kawachi Genji. The family tree is too old, I don't believe it. But In other words, the descendants of Seiwa Genji. Seiwa Genji is a clan in which the Emperor Seiwa, from the emperor's family, got permission to go down to his retainer, descent the house as a samurai. If you want to see My ancestors is Morozumi Bungo no kami Masakiyo, go to Museum art, Boston I know in detail, because there are actually documents from 500 years to Since it became Morozumi

I think that your sense of humor and the ability to explain a crazy complicated history in an easy-funny-comprehensive way - those things can clean your karma even from useful killings
Empress Koken/Shotaku. Such a strong person. Most of us men wish we had so much resolve and executive power. Of course, she did slip a bit when she got older. I bet she still compares better than Henry VIII though.
Hey man that’s a good question about junnin. I don’t feel too bad, he shoulda made an escape plan or something while he was emperor and had all those resources!
Or not. He had no power under the empress rules. But making him a real emperor would have granted him a legitimate position. He would still have got the support of the ex empress, of boudhists, of anti fujiwara,… most of koken support would have supported Dokyo too

OH LORD I JUST REALIZED DOKYO IS THE JAPANESE EQUIVALENT OF RASPUTIN!!! Holy "healer" Worked for a female monarch And possibly had fun with said monarch
With that ingenuity, he could've caught a million other animals, but he just couldn't let this one go... I didn't think of it being book smart vs street smart, probably because I was a little boy.. but yeah I guess the Road Runner has street smarts. I thought the Road Runner had an unfair advantage, its speed. That could've been why I was on the coyote's side.
Hmmmmm, there was a Queen of Silla who may have been either a queen regnant (ruling in her own right) or regent (ruling on behalf of a young king, usually her son or nephew). I don't know what she did nor I remember her name, but I only know she requested help from Tang Dynasty China in a fight against Goguryeo and Baekje. At that time, Emperor Tang Tai Zong belittled her just because "lmao, a woman??? Hah, as if I would help a weak bitch." Little did he know there was gonna be a karma for clinging on to that boomer Master Kong (Confucius), in the form of Wu Ze Tian. Anyways, Taizong reluctantly agreed because Goguryeo was amassing more power. That and some general whoever he was killed the Goguryeo king, effectively usurping the throne, so the soup emperor was like "FOR JUSTIIIIIIICE!!!"
I have a question. Did the name Empress Shotoku intentionally come from prince Shotoku of the Asuka Period or there're no relations at all? I'm curious.
@@Linfamy I've read that many modern Japanese Buddhist priests from some sects can marry and have kids nowadays though.... Maybe Koken should have thought way before her time and made some more earthly reforms ;P
wait.....so if Japan almost became a buddhist therocracy, but was worshipping the kami of the sun, Amaterasu, seeing her as the most important kami, wouldnt have that techinally meant japan was a shinto therocracy despite being ruled by the imperial family?
Dokyo is somewhat similar to the Vietnamese dynasty of Ly and Tran. Buddhist theocracy held absolute power in the courts, and all Imperial advisors in Vietnam were Buddhist monks. After Le dynasty's rise, Emperor Le Loi stripped all Buddhist monks from getting too much power. He created the concept of "separation of church and state", based on Confucianism. He equalized the courts with Confucianist mandarins, Buddhist Monks, Taoist mages at even numbers. The Chinese dynasties after Tang also set up similar rules, like the Vietnamese, but they are extremely favored towards the Confucianists. In the case of Japan, Buddhism now becomes quite weak due to the rise of state Shintoism. There have been no real Buddhist statespeople getting back into real power. There is Soka Gakkai in Japan but they are largely a joke and more of an economic Yakuza laundering operation. Ikeda, of Korean lineage, also really hates Japan anyway.

Every time there is an Empress, the country she ruled went into deep shit. The funny thing is that deep shit is not caused by the Empress incapability, but rather the opposite.
Holy Hell , I have so much catching up to do. Took a shot at probation and my history loving ass ended up teaching a course in the local county jail for the past 5 months. I'm back, and have alot to catch up on it seems. Been gone since the korea episodes. Glad to see my favorite channels still doing there thing
@@Linfamy I got arreated last year for " improper storage of a class B medication" . Due to me screwin around and accumulating a few arrests in my teens and early 20s(marijuana distribution, minor in possession of alcohol, etc. typical teenage trouble) I was offered 6 months in jail or a year probation . 9 months into probation I violated the terms of my probation, according to my probation officer ( whom I never got along with) by being late , or as she claimed, missing mandatory meetings. as a result I was forced to serve 5 months in county jail and take a felony charge. Many lessons learned. Probably the biggest being never to judge a book by its cover . I met some INCREDIBLE people in jail. Some VERY talented people, good people. Lots of good people, such as myself, can end up in shit positions and situations in life . Not everything is cut and dry, black and white. So I passed my time reading and helping tutor the guys working towards their GEDs and what college courses were available. Of course I was especially helpful teaching these guys history. In retrospect I learned alot about myself , about how screwed up our judicial system is, how our prisons are FILLED with ( I'd estimate 89% with non violent offenders, mostly drug addicts or drug dealers). Most important of all I learned that good people can EASILY end up on the wrong side of the law(such as myself). I served 5 months, it was an experience , one I wouldn't take back(believe it or not).
Wow that's quite a story. Yeah I think it's ridiculous we jail non-violent drug offenders. I'm glad you're out now, but how's that felony charge going to affect your job prospects?
0:00 does this explain 87% of history?

You forgot to mention the renaming incident following the oracle! She renamed Wake no Kiyomaro to Wakebe no Kitanamaro!
Ya, can't include everything though :p
Very impressive !
👍🏻
Hilarious and educational, I LOLed
Glad you like :D
This story is already longer than the British monarchy and it’s not even 1000 AD yet.
Over-the-top flattering comment.
Exceedingly thankful reply.
I love this video
"killing is useful"-Linfamy
It sure is..
@Instrumentality1000 good rule of thumb
Killing is Useful.
CK2 in a nutshell
History in a nutshell :p
Every time there is an Empress, the country she ruled went into deep shit. The funny thing is that deep shit is not caused by the Empress incapability, but rather the opposite.
Empress suiko and empress jito were good rulers
So Dogyo was the High Sparrow?
Correct :p
0:23: I guess that means Mayfair and Park Lane in English.
Didn't know it's different in the UK
@@Linfamy I didn't realise it was different in the USA. It must be the only board game that changes depending on which country you're in.
@@Linfamy By the way, your videos are great!
Haha thanks for watching!
Rasputin: "Dokyo-sempai, notice me."
*sees "Tyler"* Tyler, you're immortal?
"Lovey dovey, pokey pokey"
😉
Koken was smart but had sad ending
Me:staring at murder
Murder:staring back at me
The fortune teller got promoted into what? What possible career path here, a divine messenger? Cosmos commander?
Koken was savage.
3:55 "A clan of squirrel tamers", just sounds so useless
Basically the OG Game of Thrones
Totally
I do love some Japanese imperial court politics👌
Totally :)
Nobody:
Koken: Hippity hoppity the power is now my property
Your the best
No you are
Dokyo kinda reminds me of Rassputin
0:51 I CANNOT BREATHE
:D
Excellent end moral XD
😅
I kinda wish Dokyo succeeded. The idea of Buddhist priest being an emperor sounds incredibly baddass.
What if Dokyo would have become the emperor
Ugh I hate waiting for these to come out I hope after we get done with the main history series we can go on to Korea or China
Haha sorry, I'm only one man :)
@@Linfamy nah man I understand I only hate waiting because it is so good man I love what your doing and definitely love the comedy
👍
This oracle thing describes how the WHO interprets research.
They didn't have a "bed" to share so they shared the same "pillow" :-)
Poor emperors back in those days, didn't even have beds...
@@Linfamy But they had entire floors on which to frolic with their naughty monk lovers....
"Oh monk, you so naughty"
"Stay disciplined... stay disciplined..."
I guess you can say Junnin might just be a simp, a selfless one
Holy Hell , I have so much catching up to do. Took a shot at probation and my history loving ass ended up teaching a course in the local county jail for the past 5 months.
I'm back, and have alot to catch up on it seems. Been gone since the korea episodes.
Glad to see my favorite channels still doing there thing
Hi Frank! Glad to see you back. But probation, what happened??
Well, teaching a history course sounds like a blast anyways, history of what?
@@Linfamy I got arreated last year for " improper storage of a class B medication" . Due to me screwin around and accumulating a few arrests in my teens and early 20s(marijuana distribution, minor in possession of alcohol, etc. typical teenage trouble) I was offered 6 months in jail or a year probation . 9 months into probation I violated the terms of my probation, according to my probation officer ( whom I never got along with) by being late , or as she claimed, missing mandatory meetings. as a result I was forced to serve 5 months in county jail and take a felony charge.
Many lessons learned.
Probably the biggest being never to judge a book by its cover . I met some INCREDIBLE people in jail. Some VERY talented people, good people. Lots of good people, such as myself, can end up in shit positions and situations in life . Not everything is cut and dry, black and white. So I passed my time reading and helping tutor the guys working towards their GEDs and what college courses were available. Of course I was especially helpful teaching these guys history.
In retrospect I learned alot about myself , about how screwed up our judicial system is, how our prisons are FILLED with ( I'd estimate 89% with non violent offenders, mostly drug addicts or drug dealers). Most important of all I learned that good people can EASILY end up on the wrong side of the law(such as myself). I served 5 months, it was an experience , one I wouldn't take back(believe it or not).
Wow that's quite a story. Yeah I think it's ridiculous we jail non-violent drug offenders.
I'm glad you're out now, but how's that felony charge going to affect your job prospects?
Really close friends. Lol
2:06 Buddhist power: it works, b*tches.
👍
Sup, I’m in the comments now, deal with it
Haha sup!
He ran into an enemy's spear?! How does that even happen? lol
Dokyo sounds kinda like Rasputin lol
I feel bad for Junnin, but hey, at least he wasn´t executed.
In video he was killed, so what is the difference!
道鏡 = Rasputin
草
Mm hmm
Nibutani body pillow.
Wenis = flattering, right?
Road runner is always a god
