i find it fascinating that yarnhub manages to make a video, totally respectful to the japanese culture, yet still get across how horrific kamikaze weapons were. amazing video!
This story absolutely drove me to tears for Nishina. He was a great inventor and a brave soldier, fighting for a cruel empire. I was, in a twisted way, happy for him that he took down a ship after hearing about his motivation and dedication. It's a tragedy.
The probably largest impact was it's effect on US Navy Captains. When the USS Indianapolis was sunk in Summer of 1945 by a submarine, it was not running a zig-zag course. Thats because its commander, Captain Charles B McVay saw it as useless with Kaiten Submarines available to Japanese Subs. The USS Indianapolis was sunk with regular torpedoes, but the 880 casualties are an indirect result of the Kaiten submarine
The captain of the submarine testified that zig-zag or not, he would've sunk the indianapolis. He was a very capable captain and indianapolis was all alone on a secret mission with practically no support. The zig zag stuff was just another way to scapegoat the captain for the navy's massive screw up.
Yea sadly the cpt never recovered from the ordeal after getting blamed for his crews death. He was given letters by family members who’s sons died on the ship, blaming the man for the deaths of there sons. He shot himself and died. His crew always maintained before and after his death that he was not to blame.
Ironically enough USS Mississinewa’s story does not end with the Kaiten Mission. In 2001, her wreck was discovered by divers that noticed an oil trail on the surface. When divers went down they discovered she was indeed leaking oil and the environment was at risk of a catastrophic spill that would have affected Ulithi’s Coral Reeds and wildlife. So in the end when it became clear they could not keep plugging the holes to stop the leaks, the Navy had to go in and literally pump out what was left on board, recovering over 2,000,000 Gallons of Fuel Oil.

I hope you can read my translated response. I respect the Japanese people and their values. While the war was tragic, and the reason to fight might not have been correct, these soldiers truly believed they were fighting for their homeland and families. If I were in the same situation, I would also offer my life to protect what I love most.
@@RudyMemes I find it hard to sympathise with Axis soldiers regardless, because they were fighting for unspeakable evils, especially Germany and Japan. It is somewhat odd, because many of them were forced to fight against their will, especially in the german army, like my great grandfather, who died a pointless death three days before the wars end, forever traumatising my grandfather. But I would never say I condone what the man did, because he fought against the forces that ultimately liberated us and gave us freedom and peace, even though not his choice. War is evil, pre war Germany, Japan and Italy were evil, and I only wish they had come to a faster end.
Ah yes, the infamous “heaven-shaker”, the Kaiten! I remember learning about it for the first time on the History Channel’s “Dogfights” as a kid a while ago. Thanks for covering it here, Yarnhub, your history videos just continue to get more and more informative and incredible!
@MonolophosaurusEnj0yer Haha that show was pretty much my childhood, buddy😂 Every day after school, every morning after I’d get up on the weekends, it would be the first thing I’d watch
Quite the large number of people remember Dogfights,a somewhat allied heavy telling with not that many Axis or Soviet tales,nor other era tales,but a great series that needs to come back and with MORE.
This was a rather beautiful story. War is hell, pointless deaths in the name of borders and politics. But no matter the side they were on, these men fought for their countries, fought for their brothers and their families back home with conviction and determination in the face of overwhelming odds. Yarnhub, this is why id pick your stuff over a documentary on the tv. Until i came across you years ago (on a different account) id never really thought about the stories from the other side of the table. You humanised those i had dehumanised for so long. They were all just kids, fighting for the same things our grandads and great granddads fought for.
So stopping Hitler was “pointless”? Not all wars are about only borders and politics, sometimes we have to fight simply because it’s the right thing to do.
@@xcritic9671 I would say failing to eradicate his ideological beliefs, all those nazi scientist and stuff that got safe harbour in the west because us in the west would rather the tech and secrets they had was pointless. We won the war on paper, that was it. I'm not disagreeing with you. Hitler needed stopped. But the millions of life's lost to stop him was pointless. Even then he wasn't really stopped he was martyred and lives on in so many. And I'm sorry but yes wars are simply about borders and politics. It was politics that made a disgruntled little megalomaniac try take over the world. It was borders that took Europe to war, because remember a lot in the west agreed with Hitler, so much so we sent boat loads of Jews back to their deaths, because we didnt want them, it was borders not being respected and politics that lead to the US being brought into the war. So at the end of the day, yes it is all pointless. We had the great war, the war to end all wars. Where did it get us, no where. Just the same shit, different shovel.

i have to give Nishina and Kuroki credit, I respect anybody who was willing to pilot their own suicide vessel. they weren't designing something to get other people killed, they believed in the cause enough to sacrifice themselves
Well done Yarnhub, well done. Once again you exceeded my expectations especially by how you managed to balance the demonstration of Japanese culture and the horrors of kamikaze attacks. Your animation also deserves a special mention for how far you've come from a simplistic 2D animation to a realistic 3D one which makes your videos more engaging and immersive(no pun intended).
@@0utlawactual363 Yep. Because that's where they were raised, born, teached. I know I would fight for the emperor if I was born back then, it was natural. The same for Germany. I don't support their ideologies but if I was raised there and lived there of course I would.
Well its an entirely different culture, than in the west. Suicide for the victory was a sacrifice there, that they used since centurys.A Completly normal thing for them. But not for us.
And misleading causes isnt really the truth. The USA made Japan very Dependant on the USA, and when the USA stopped traid, that only means the ressources, that the usa made Japan dependent on, had to be extracted elsewhere. There wasnt really any other Option for Japan, the USA is here more at fault then Japan. Only with the Help of the USA, japan got united in the first place, and since then the USA traded with them. Japan didnt really trade with anyone up until that point, so what were they supposed to do, if their only major trade partner since they stopped being isolated, just stopped traiding with them?
Ah ok, so no American’s died for their country. Got it. Might want to actually educate your self instead of just watching Yarn hub videos that favor the Japanese.
which is exactly what happened here. I have nothing but respect for these men, but their lives might've been better spent as Pilots or anything else.@@xcritic9671
@@BoxStudioExecutive The Japanese resorted to kamikazes only once killing yourself became necessary to ensure the other guy dies too, not because they liked killing themselves. This is a very common but invalid criticism of kamikazes from a military perspective. Surrender would have been the sane option but the Japanese wouldn’t have started the war if they were that sane.
Kamikaze is a Japanese word that translates to "divine wind" (神風). Historically, it refers to two typhoons in the 13th century that are said to have thwarted Mongol invasion attempts of Japan by destroying their fleets. These events were seen as a sign of divine intervention.
Kamikazes (at least the aerial versions) actually proved less costly to Japan than conventional attacks by late 1944 due to the heavy losses they would take anyways from Allied fighter screens.
If Japan had the same resources and military strength as the U.S., there would be no kamikaze attack. Japan had also developed a very large strategic bomber (1.5 times the size of the B-29 and three times the range of the B-29) for the purpose of bombing the U.S. mainland. They were also researching the atomic bomb. After Japan's defeat in the war, the U.S. government was surprised to learn of this fact.
@@tk-5712, Oh yes, there was not any parity between these two wartime powers, on multiple levels. Japan had the people and the resolve, but they did not have the industrial capacity to fight a protracted war. Was part of that technology what later came to be known as "Hitler's Gift"?
@@EdricLysharae That’s their point; Japan resorted to kamikazes out of sheer military desperation, not because of any sort of inherent belief or doctrine.
@@EdricLysharae The goal would have been to create an economic blockade on Japan and to justify the U.S. war by getting Japan to start a war.

Therefore, it was developed independently without any technical provision from Germany. Guns were introduced to Japan in 1543.

Wow! In the same month my two favourite channels Yarn hub and Blue paw print both made a video about the kamikaze submarine! What an amazing coincidence!
I wanted to stay in a quiet Japanese town after hiking in the hills (rather than go straight to a big city), and I randomly picked a little town south west of Hiroshima. There was a mini sub museum there - but you had to get a boat to an island to visit (edit: it was the Kaiten Memorial Museum, on the island of Ōtsushima). I have a feeling it may have been a bit sensitive - the people I spoke to, at the mainland info centre, were polite enough, but I wasn't getting a good vibe from them. So I just said 'ah, war stuff doesn't interest me' and said goodbye. I was lying though - war stuff interests me a lot - that's why I'm watching Yarnhub!
Yarn, can you please do sinking of blücher/the battle of Norway next? This battle had major consequences for the war because by 1944 300.000 German troops were stranded in Norway because of Norwegian resistance🤓
Bravery is a rare cuality these days, but it´s always been among the best you could have, doesn´t matter the outcome of your venture. The worst thing about this is not the side you choose, but to forget some of these brave women and men who risk or gave their lives to save his/her people or country. Old people where very aware about this and they were very respectful for enemy courage. What a man... what a story...
I always have a huge respect to the japanese patriotism and it increases after watching okha and kaiten, and kudos to yarnhub for its story telling and good graphics.
I’ve been watching your videos for a bit more than 3 years now and have been always awed at how amazing your animations are. Keep up the good work, Yarnhub!
Great history buff on the Kaiten Yarnhub. Should make a lesson on how Japanese and German submarines acted and hunted differently during the war. Keep it up👍🏻
I can't overstate how good the voicing is. It's better than even high budget films and documentaries which always just grabs some 4th generation Japanese-American to act and voice. The only improvements I could suggest would basically need you to hire an actual Japanese linguist/historian to get the dialects and period-accurate Japanese right. One thing you could do is have the characters use a more casual Japanese in more casual contexts.
When I see videos like this, it reminds me how futile these mission were, but at the same time, modern technology brings these stories back to life - meaning, as they said in the video, "they will forever be remembered".
Another brilliant episode guys! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us these. 👍🍻🇦🇺 Incredible that the higher ups didn't take notice until they wrote it in blood. Thank goodness the Japanese are now peaceful people. What a waste of life they brought upon themselves.
Fantástico video. Pero no es correcto llamar horrible máquina a un Kaiten; ellos solo usaban las tácticas que más le podrían aportar al esfuerzo bélico. Saludos y gracias.
this video is absolutely awesome as much as terrifing: the ammount of sacrifices the Japans were ready to do for their cause is a remarcable example of honour, determination and what humans can do only to reach their targets
Me fascinan los videos de este canal, reflejan un alto nivel de calidad y arduo trabajo. Sin duda alguna es un excelente contenido que permite revivir la historia de los combatientes.
Against a country so big and so mighty yet even as a U.S. soldier I can’t help but respect there determination to serve there own country more then the people I serve with now but yet we remain victorious god bless these old souls of them
The fact that this weapon was practical and dead in the suitable conditions and capable Pilots to set these speedy subs to their target is scary to many US navy ships.

Wow! In the same month my two favourite channels Yarn hub and Blue paw print both made a video about the kamikaze submarine! What an amazing coincidence!
We’re the same team behind both channels
命を国に授けた若き命に敬礼🫡
These animations just keep getting better and better!!
I wanted to stay in a quiet Japanese town after hiking in the hills (rather than go straight to a big city), and I randomly picked a little town south west of Hiroshima. There was a mini sub museum there - but you had to get a boat to an island to visit (edit: it was the Kaiten Memorial Museum, on the island of Ōtsushima).
I have a feeling it may have been a bit sensitive - the people I spoke to, at the mainland info centre, were polite enough, but I wasn't getting a good vibe from them. So I just said 'ah, war stuff doesn't interest me' and said goodbye. I was lying though - war stuff interests me a lot - that's why I'm watching Yarnhub!
Your storytelling is beautiful!
Yarn, can you please do sinking of blücher/the battle of Norway next? This battle had major consequences for the war because by 1944 300.000 German troops were stranded in Norway because of Norwegian resistance🤓
i dunno who to trust with how mississinewa sunk, yarnhub or dogfights
Bravery is a rare cuality these days, but it´s always been among the best you could have, doesn´t matter the outcome of your venture. The worst thing about this is not the side you choose, but to forget some of these brave women and men who risk or gave their lives to save his/her people or country. Old people where very aware about this and they were very respectful for enemy courage. What a man... what a story...
I always have a huge respect to the japanese patriotism and it increases after watching okha and kaiten, and kudos to yarnhub for its story telling and good graphics.
Same dude, its nice seeing a fellow Indian Yarnhub fan😄
your animations are detailed like crazy they all look like it came from a video game these animators are no doubt getting paid well
“ I have no more torpedos what do I do?”
“ you are the torpedoes”
The japanese voicelines , really makes it feel like Anime.
I’ve been watching your videos for a bit more than 3 years now and have been always awed at how amazing your animations are. Keep up the good work, Yarnhub!
The tension is impressive throughout the video!
日本語ナレーションありがたいです
Great history buff on the Kaiten Yarnhub. Should make a lesson on how Japanese and German submarines acted and hunted differently during the war. Keep it up👍🏻
自分のこれからも続く長く続く人生を戦争に捧げ特攻により散って行った全ての兵士に敬意と追悼の意を表します
The first Guided Torpedos 💀
This quality has gotten insane
I've learned more in this video than I have in my history class this year
I'm a simple man. I see a yarnhub video, I click
I can't overstate how good the voicing is. It's better than even high budget films and documentaries which always just grabs some 4th generation Japanese-American to act and voice. The only improvements I could suggest would basically need you to hire an actual Japanese linguist/historian to get the dialects and period-accurate Japanese right. One thing you could do is have the characters use a more casual Japanese in more casual contexts.
I love this channel from Indonesian ❤
When I see videos like this, it reminds me how futile these mission were, but at the same time, modern technology brings these stories back to life - meaning, as they said in the video, "they will forever be remembered".
I just noticed this, stopped everything I’m doing and watching! The fire will still be there in 15 minutes I assure you!
I knew about the kaiten, but I didn't knew about the story behind them, this is one of the saddest video you ever made.
I am Japanese and I feel very sad about these suicide weapons.
Another brilliant episode guys! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing us these. 👍🍻🇦🇺 Incredible that the higher ups didn't take notice until they wrote it in blood. Thank goodness the Japanese are now peaceful people. What a waste of life they brought upon themselves.
The animation gets better with every video
3:40 I'm guessing underwater smoke wouldn't break the surface...😊
The water will ripple and bubble and look murky and surrounding water will look darker
Love the lighting and shadows of this one. Great to see this channel commit to incremental quality improvements. Not to mention the water animation.
I feel it ridiculous that they used Kaiten on docked ships, which couldn’t evade. Just use normal torpedoes, silly!
Range, torpedo nets and the enemy would be able to see the ships and submarine it would be impossible to navigate though shallow waters
A Brave Soldier of A brave nation taking on the Yanks who were much higher in numbers.. Legend!
People confuse desperation for heroism
Do a Greek ww2 planes documentary next pls I subscribed
How you integrated 12:37 is genius
Ikt I literally subscribed, liked and commented because of that 😅
kaiten carriers are cool ngl
Fantástico video.
Pero no es correcto llamar horrible máquina a un Kaiten; ellos solo usaban las tácticas que más le podrían aportar al esfuerzo bélico.
Saludos y gracias.
Amazing video! The nod to the 2019 Midway Movie at 4:13 was ingenious, amazing as always.
Your animation has really improved as it looks realistic with the humans too.
Hey you made a vid about kaiten so I knew that you will make this
You should do the story of Edwin Cottrell, a P-47 pilot who was escorted to safety by two German pilots.
this video is absolutely awesome as much as terrifing: the ammount of sacrifices the Japans were ready to do for their cause is a remarcable example of honour, determination and what humans can do only to reach their targets
That shot of the sword's reflection forming the sea and the horizon was gorgeous, massive props to whoever came up with that one
how do we know that Nishina hit the ship, not the 3 other guys?
prob whats left of the debris in all the locations each one was, or just the debris from the one that hit if i had to guess
Thank you for bringing this little-known side of the pacific thearter to light. Keep up the good work!
yes! keep posting more. Im consuming this like junk food.
Amazing, you make learning history interesting and insightful, thank you
day 1 asking for a film over the dutch "linie crossers"
(love your animations!)
Me fascinan los videos de este canal, reflejan un alto nivel de calidad y arduo trabajo. Sin duda alguna es un excelente contenido que permite revivir la historia de los combatientes.
under an hour also this is amazing the animations are so butiful😍🤩
This video is top quality, and I appreciate the work that went into its creation. Nice job!
That sword transition to the submarine -- beautiful.
The Japanese audio Narrator is awesome!
人間魚雷とか悲しい名称をなんとかしてほしい。自爆型特殊潜航艇とかにならないものだろうか。人間魚雷·····悲しすぎる。
this guy need more subs bro why no one aint watchin him this is dope 🔥🔥🔥
Oh cool a Kaiten Torpedo video
Japanese military was built differently.😮 Impressed with their patriotism, but sadly their countrymen may not know their bravery now.
Este canal demora mucho para subir videos,Pero vale la pena,ya que entre más demora,quiere decir que más calidad tendrá el siguiente video.
Absolutely fantastic channel! Binge watching everything you've made!
ah yes the Kaiten manned torpedo an imperial Japanese navy secret weapon. sank the fleet oiler USS Mississinewa an effective and deadly weapon.
Did you watch the video before commenting? Lol
Not effective at all
Against a country so big and so mighty yet even as a U.S. soldier I can’t help but respect there determination to serve there own country more then the people I serve with now but yet we remain victorious god bless these old souls of them
Real one's know that this was posted to pair with Blue Paw Print's "Inside the Kaiten Kamikaze Submarine"
The fact that this weapon was practical and dead in the suitable conditions and capable Pilots to set these speedy subs to their target is scary to many US navy ships.
