Just a note on the Benkei story. Most of the details about his life were written a few hundred years after he died in a work called 'Gikeiki' so most likely some of the stories were greatly exaggerated by storytellers by the time they were written down.
@@Ballgame2389I'm sure you can find anime and Japanese movies based on him. I know a lot of the anime I've watched mention him, he even has a Yu-Gi-Oh card named after him called Superheavy Samurai Big-Benkei
This story reminded me of the battle of Stamford bridge. One viking berserker asked for permission to die, holding the only escape route for his king Harald Hardråde. He cut down multiple foes, and arrows did not make him flinch. His foe had to find a boat, and stab the berserker with spears from bellow to bring him to his knees. Even after he was stabbed multiple times and sitting on his knees cluhing his axe, his enemies were reluctant to aproach the viking. His final stand alowing his king and a few viking ships to escape back to Norway.

History is wild like that, no matter what corner of the world they come from, Duty bound Men of honor and talent always seem to get treated like shit by the superiors who owe their lives to them. Humanity always has a few shining beacons of uprightness who glow brightly despite being surrounded by filth but in the end, they eventually get overwhelmed and destroyed by the baser human instincts of those around them.
During the Salem Witch Trials, a man named Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft. He was 80 years old when the trials happened, and was an absolute menace. When he refused to make a plead to the court in Salem, he was pressed (put between two boards, the top of which had heavy stones put on it) and repeatedly asked how he pleaded. Giles, every time he was asked until he died, answered with the same phrase. “More weight.”
Holy shit Yi Sun Shin was so badass. Imagine dying to the sight of the reatreating, burning, sinking, screaming enemy, war drum beating, knowing that you will die but satisfied in knowing your homeland is safe.
Admiral Yi is the fucking man. I was so excited when I went to Korea because his likeness seemed to be everywhere in Seoul. Museums of course, but also on the money and a huge statue in Seoul near that of Sejong the Great himself. There's big (though not 1:1) replica of one of his turtle ships in the War Memorial. If you're ever in Korea definitely go the the War Memorial because it scratches that Yi itch (and plenty of other cool stuff to see besides).

" HOW COULD I LOSE TO SUCHA SMALL WARRIOR I FOUGHT MUCH bigger MEN IN THE PAST!" " the size of the dawg do not matter the size of the fight inside of the dog matters"
while that is true size definitely can play a part, for example back in the korean war there is a native american who was well over 7' tall and that the north koreans and chinese literally thought was a giant despite this being the 1950s not the 1350s... at one point he killed 3 north koreans at once with his bare hands despite having been shot twice and hit with dozens of pieces of grenade shrapnel...
I have such a story too. My great-grandfather fought in World War II with the rank of lieutenant. His detachment was assigned to take one of the heights during the breakout of the siege of Leningrad. During the battle, at some point he realized that the orders from the leadership had stopped coming. Retreating to the major's position, he found him killed by a stray bullet. Realizing that his squad had stopped advancing long ago, he personally took command and led the army forward. By this point, the German forces did not expect an offensive, believing that they had already won. Eventually, with numerous losses, my grandfather stood at the top of the height and fell bleeding. He had 6 bullet wounds, but he continued to give orders. Eventually, he lost consciousness. He was taken to the hospital, and there he died three days later
@@Huobaojiqi His name was Sergey Abrosimov. But, alas, it is unlikely that you will be able to find information about him on the Internet. I have a clipping from the death notice where he is awarded the Order of bravery, but in fact he does not even have his own grave.

Those who could, after the war, reburied their ancestors. But my great-grandmother did not believe in his death, and refused to take the body of the "stranger". She also forbade her children to do it. And after all these years, we probably won't even be able to find his body

Shout out to the lone Norwegian Viking who held the Anglo-Saxon army at bay during the battle of Stamford Bridge, on the bridge by himself to buy the unprepared Norwegian army time to prepare a shield wall.

His name was never recorded, but he is mentioned in both the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Chronicle of Henry of Huntingdon. That guy is definitely in Valhalla.

Why would you uninstall in the first place man ! I love this game to death nothing more testosterone pumping then playing as a warrior of different regions against other warriors
Fun Fact Benkei’s Death Inspired Ichiro Oda to make the character Whitebeards Death incredibly similar as both were incredibly tall both used a spear and sword mix as a weapon and both died standing allowing others to Escape
One that isn't on here is Jean Lannes. He was one of Napoleon's marshals and he got DIRECT IMPACTED by a cannonball at the battle of Aspern-Essling and said "I am wounded; it's nothing much; give me your hand to help me up." He died a few days later from a wound infection.
@@Armoured-Pizza-Carrier no shit. that's not comparable to what i said. those two aren't even correlated while Jean Lannes was both causation and correlation.
he actually is really famous in Japan but you're right, his story is definitely exaggerated at best and a work of fiction to make the minamoto clan seem more epic at worst. Most of the details about him were written a few hundred years after he died.
Coudnt agree more Like learning about Constitine XI the 11th I dont know if hes name is written in the bible or not. For me hes the greatest leader and emperor at the same time even the prophecy isnt in his side
Two of the most epic deaths that I can remember of the top of my head are: The three brazilian soldiers in the Italy campaign that fought against a hundred german soldiers; they were low on ammo but they refused to surrender. They started blasting against the nazis, and some say that the germans thought they were fighting against an entire battalion. Hours later, they were dead, and the germans praising their bravery made three graves with a small piece of wood reading "three brazilian heroes". The other one is from roman times. In a nutshell, a deacon called Lawrence was persecuted because the prefect of his town demanded that the treasure that the church was holding was given to the town, and Lawrence refused. The prefect was so angry that made Lawrence be tortured in a grill with hot coal beneath, and several hours of torture later, Lawrence declared: "I'm well done in this side, turn me over!". He is today the saint patron of cooks, chefs and comedians. Absolute madlad.
15:04 that's oddly but comfortably way to die. You last moments is still hearing the drum of your ship still beating, signifying the army you led is close to victory.

Some badass WWII warrior deaths: Lt. John R. Fox MoH, with his position being surrounded by German soldiers, called in artillery fire on his coordinates, knowing he'd die, but he'd take the Germans with him. SGT Thomas Baker MoH, at his request after being wounded, was propped up against a tree with only a M1911 pistol after his position was overrun by Japanese soldiers. After the Americans took back the position, they found Baker dead against the tree, empty pistol, with eight dead Japanese soldiers in front of him.
@@AaronJensen92 Cool. I mean, I personally would've said Benkei is probably the pretty obvious fake story - but you likely are a weeb that believes such a thing was common in Japan. You know, a nation that was known for lying to make their people seem stronger or to insinuate they were superhumans. Yes, that's the story you should hone in on and not something like Benkei. A guy that had collected 999 swords while just being a warrior monk and somehow... he had that 999 sword collection, hadn't gained the ire of a hit squad of samurai that ganged up on and killed him while he was unprepared and he was also apparently able to just... walk in broad daylight stalking his next victim. Yes, that one is 100% clearly believable. Lol.
Speaking on Benkei, if you visit Kiyomizudera in Kyoto, there is an area where you can try to lift a replica of his spear. It weighs 200lbs and the shape pole makes it difficult to grip. You can actually see it on my most recent video lol
Admiral Yi is the perfect example of the champion of the people. He is still somewhat a controversial figure because even after all he did, he was hated by the elite whose incompetence was highlighted by his feats.
Not sure what controversy you're talking about, but Admiral Yi is pretty much universally loved as a folk hero in South Korea. His statue is in one of the most symbolic places in Korea, in front of Gwanghwamun in Seoul. Movies about Yi frequently make top box office revenue as well
I'd really like to add one Perosn to this list: Andreas Hofer. He was a common Man who led a huge revolt against the Bavarians who occupied Tyrol in 1809. He managed to win Battles where he was outnumbered and had worse equipment. He was even lifted into Nobility be Emperor Francis II of Austria. Eventually though his luck ran out and he was captured after a bounty was set on his head. He was taken to Mantua where he was sentenced to Death (by direct order of NAPOLEON himself). He refused to have his eyes covered before the excecution was carried out by a shooting squadron. The first Salve hit him badly, but his only remark to the Officer was ,,Ach, wia schiasts Es schlecht"(Oh, how bad you shoot/aim). After that he stood up again. Still, he didn't die and was Breathing, even though he was injured really badly and laying unconscious in the ground. After that, the Officer used his Pistol and gave Hofer a shot to his head ending his suffering. Hofer is widely regarded as a National Hero in Tyrol/Austria.
Salomon is a National Treasure, and needs to be talked about way more. When I think of what America has to offer, I think of people like that man, willing to lay it all down. Thank You Brother.
Naw Yi's 2nd "resurrection" to his post was even more diabolical. Won Gyun got his aim by sending Yi to prison but unbeknownst to Won Gyun, Yi himself had powerful allies in the court that outranks Won Yong 2x over and that's Yu Seong-ryeong and Jeon Tak. Jeon-tak pleaded with the king that the time for infighting isn't now and Yi had already done his work and proved it all by sinking the Japanese fleet with just over 25 ships in his own retinue against hordes of Japanese ships whereas Won Gyun had proven nothing. The king reluctantly released Yi back but again stripped him off his generalship and made him a buck private. HOWEVER, the naval post that he was sent to was too confused and didn't get why he was a private thus instead of following what the king ordered, the general of the unit that Yi was sent to serve passed command of the unit on the sly back to Yi as he himself was Yi's subordinate in the previous engagements. Whilst still being a private, Yi didn't give up and gave instructions for the admiral of the unit to keep training whilst he drew up more plans and blueprints for more turtle ships and other various ships to build. On the other side, Won Gyun was getting royally screwed by his actions as he underestimated the Japanese when he was goaded into a battle and charged into the fray at Chilchonryang and got the entire Joseon fleet killed including himself and his co-commander. Once the news reached Seoul, the king instantly fainted and the whole court panicked. They quickly sent news to Yi and reinstated him to once again lead the naval forces which was now even more decimated that went from 100 over ships straight down to just 32.
I remember reading a plaque Ben L Solomon in our aid station while stationed in Germany while in the Army. There are a ton of stories about war heroes that I've read about in this manner while serving.
All because of a technicality which is bullshit. I'd fuckin hate being a medic if it means I'm not allowed to take up a weapon to keep myself or my allies alive.
@@taylorward2617 I MIGHT be wrong, but medics can carry light firearm for self-defense. Thing is: IF you are armed and engage in active combat, you lose status protection Red Cross gives (tho in a crossfire or against Japan/Germany in 1940's it's rarely something to cry about).
Imagine being stripped of your rank and tortured twice for no reason, then still fighting for the man that ordered it. Why not take your loyal men and make a new king?
Yi Sun-Sin has a shrine dedicated to him, is remembered as the greatest naval commander in all of history, and he now has a Naval award in Korea named after him. Admiral Yi was a patriot through and through, and he cared for Korea as a nation more than he cared for its king. And ironically, the people who respect Yi almost as much as the Koreans do are the Japanese. Admiral Togo, a famous Japanese admiral in pre-WW1 Era, has been described as the Nelson of the East, and at a party held to honor Togo's greatest victory, when a guest compared Togo to Admiral Yi, Togo himself took exception, saying "It may be proper to compare me with Nelson, but not with Korea's Yi Sun-sin, for he has no equal." The man ended his life with a 780-0 record of ships sunk vs ships lost under his command. That's fucking insanity, even with a big technological disparity, and it's not like he was taking Ironsides into battle against a fleet of canoes.
sir, thank you for creating this channel for us. i love learning and going through different historical rabbit holes every time i watch your videos. keep it going!
For a part 2 of this you should cover General Antonio Luna, a Filipino who was the leading general against the American invasion back in the early 1900’s. His name was so powerful that the president at the time (Emilio Aguinaldo) got scared that Luna will take over his position as the president while at war, and that Aguinaldo (or in some newly discovered historical prints, Aguinaldo’s mother), ordered the ambush execution of General Luna. He was shot and stabbed over 30 times while still standing and yelling “TRAITORS” to his fellow soldiers. Truly one of the most badass people in Philippine history

My Great Grandpa fought in a war, and he earned a silver star and purple heart for taking out a squad of enemy soldiers on their way to discovering a stash of gas and fuel, which if he hadn't single-handedly stopped them all, being shot in the jaw and his partner beside him quickly killed, the whole battle would've gone an entirely different direction.
#1 needs to be added to this list as Yahya Sinwar dies, fighting the most advanced occupation in the world to his last breath. Relevant because for a whole year we heard he was in tunnels hiding, but this man was in the front line with his people.
a small correction, medics are allowed to use firearms during combat, it would only be against the Geneva Conventions if the weapon was "mass casualty producing" e.g. that machine gun.

There is a Korean movie called "The Admiral Roaring Currents" about Yi Sun Shin. It's AMAZING. Also the former highest grossing film ever in Korea. I HIGHLY suggest you watch it. It's not super accurate but it's accurate enough. Oddly enough I suggest you watch it once with subtitles & once without. The translation is so different its basically 2 different movies due to the massive dialogue change.
*Yi Sun Shin...* Does fantastic in an insanely dangerous line of work, gets mistreated, falsely accused of being a traitor, stripped of reputation, tortured by order of his king. Rises back to the top despite bad rep, only to be accused and tortured all over again... If this story is true... The fact that Yi had a chance to prove himself, made it happen, and dies without his armor. I mean.... Wow..... I'm not a king, but give this man a statue. 15:00
Hey, great video. In the next one you can also cover the story of Baji Prabhu Deshpande who defended a valley till his king, Chhatrapati Shivaji was safely on Vishalgadh fort. He used the terrain and a narrow valley to defend with mere 300 men against 10000 enemy soldiers. He lost his life after suffering over 80 mortal wounds and fighting through the night non stop for 6 hours and fell only after he was given a confirmation of Chhatrapati Shivaji's safety who himself had to fight a battle to reach Vishalgadh with just another 300 men
That story still motivates me like burning fire!! Fighting along side Shivaji Maharaj, and happily sacrificing their lives for him, for Swaraj was a great honour and fortune these shiledars had! Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai!!

Benkei’s Death Inspired
Ichiro Oda to make the character Whitebeards Death incredibly similar as both were incredibly tall both used a spear and sword mix as a weapon and both died standing allowing others to Escape

It was specifically a Naginata, a pole-arm weapon akin to a spear, yet different.

One that isn't on here is Jean Lannes. He was one of Napoleon's marshals and he got DIRECT IMPACTED by a cannonball at the battle of Aspern-Essling and said "I am wounded; it's nothing much; give me your hand to help me up." He died a few days later from a wound infection.

he actually is really famous in Japan but you're right, his story is definitely exaggerated at best and a work of fiction to make the minamoto clan seem more epic at worst. Most of the details about him were written a few hundred years after he died.

Two of the most epic deaths that I can remember of the top of my head are:
The three brazilian soldiers in the Italy campaign that fought against a hundred german soldiers; they were low on ammo but they refused to surrender. They started blasting against the nazis, and some say that the germans thought they were fighting against an entire battalion. Hours later, they were dead, and the germans praising their bravery made three graves with a small piece of wood reading "three brazilian heroes".
The other one is from roman times. In a nutshell, a deacon called Lawrence was persecuted because the prefect of his town demanded that the treasure that the church was holding was given to the town, and Lawrence refused. The prefect was so angry that made Lawrence be tortured in a grill with hot coal beneath, and several hours of torture later, Lawrence declared: "I'm well done in this side, turn me over!". He is today the saint patron of cooks, chefs and comedians. Absolute madlad.

Some badass WWII warrior deaths:

SGT Thomas Baker MoH, at his request after being wounded, was propped up against a tree with only a M1911 pistol after his position was overrun by Japanese soldiers. After the Americans took back the position, they found Baker dead against the tree, empty pistol, with eight dead Japanese soldiers in front of him.

@@AaronJensen92 Cool. I mean, I personally would've said Benkei is probably the pretty obvious fake story - but you likely are a weeb that believes such a thing was common in Japan. You know, a nation that was known for lying to make their people seem stronger or to insinuate they were superhumans. Yes, that's the story you should hone in on and not something like Benkei. A guy that had collected 999 swords while just being a warrior monk and somehow... he had that 999 sword collection, hadn't gained the ire of a hit squad of samurai that ganged up on and killed him while he was unprepared and he was also apparently able to just... walk in broad daylight stalking his next victim. Yes, that one is 100% clearly believable. Lol.

Admiral Yi is the perfect example of the champion of the people. He is still somewhat a controversial figure because even after all he did, he was hated by the elite whose incompetence was highlighted by his feats.
Not sure what controversy you're talking about, but Admiral Yi is pretty much universally loved as a folk hero in South Korea. His statue is in one of the most symbolic places in Korea, in front of Gwanghwamun in Seoul. Movies about Yi frequently make top box office revenue as well

I'd really like to add one Perosn to this list:
Andreas Hofer.
He was a common Man who led a huge revolt against the Bavarians who occupied Tyrol in 1809. He managed to win Battles where he was outnumbered and had worse equipment. He was even lifted into Nobility be Emperor Francis II of Austria. Eventually though his luck ran out and he was captured after a bounty was set on his head. He was taken to Mantua where he was sentenced to Death (by direct order of NAPOLEON himself). He refused to have his eyes covered before the excecution was carried out by a shooting squadron. The first Salve hit him badly, but his only remark to the Officer was ,,Ach, wia schiasts Es schlecht"(Oh, how bad you shoot/aim). After that he stood up again. Still, he didn't die and was Breathing, even though he was injured really badly and laying unconscious in the ground. After that, the Officer used his Pistol and gave Hofer a shot to his head ending his suffering. Hofer is widely regarded as a National Hero in Tyrol/Austria.
@y27k-cultmember Nuh uh
Salomon is a National Treasure, and needs to be talked about way more. When I think of what America has to offer, I think of people like that man, willing to lay it all down. Thank You Brother.

Naw Yi's 2nd "resurrection" to his post was even more diabolical.
Won Gyun got his aim by sending Yi to prison but unbeknownst to Won Gyun, Yi himself had powerful allies in the court that outranks Won Yong 2x over and that's Yu Seong-ryeong and Jeon Tak. Jeon-tak pleaded with the king that the time for infighting isn't now and Yi had already done his work and proved it all by sinking the Japanese fleet with just over 25 ships in his own retinue against hordes of Japanese ships whereas Won Gyun had proven nothing. The king reluctantly released Yi back but again stripped him off his generalship and made him a buck private.
HOWEVER, the naval post that he was sent to was too confused and didn't get why he was a private thus instead of following what the king ordered, the general of the unit that Yi was sent to serve passed command of the unit on the sly back to Yi as he himself was Yi's subordinate in the previous engagements.
Whilst still being a private, Yi didn't give up and gave instructions for the admiral of the unit to keep training whilst he drew up more plans and blueprints for more turtle ships and other various ships to build. On the other side, Won Gyun was getting royally screwed by his actions as he underestimated the Japanese when he was goaded into a battle and charged into the fray at Chilchonryang and got the entire Joseon fleet killed including himself and his co-commander.
Once the news reached Seoul, the king instantly fainted and the whole court panicked. They quickly sent news to Yi and reinstated him to once again lead the naval forces which was now even more decimated that went from 100 over ships straight down to just 32.

bureaucracy is hell
Imagine being stripped of your rank and tortured twice for no reason, then still fighting for the man that ordered it. Why not take your loyal men and make a new king?
Same, i World have betrayed the king
Yi Sun-Sin has a shrine dedicated to him, is remembered as the greatest naval commander in all of history, and he now has a Naval award in Korea named after him.
Admiral Yi was a patriot through and through, and he cared for Korea as a nation more than he cared for its king.
And ironically, the people who respect Yi almost as much as the Koreans do are the Japanese. Admiral Togo, a famous Japanese admiral in pre-WW1 Era, has been described as the Nelson of the East, and at a party held to honor Togo's greatest victory, when a guest compared Togo to Admiral Yi, Togo himself took exception, saying "It may be proper to compare me with Nelson, but not with Korea's Yi Sun-sin, for he has no equal."
The man ended his life with a 780-0 record of ships sunk vs ships lost under his command. That's fucking insanity, even with a big technological disparity, and it's not like he was taking Ironsides into battle against a fleet of canoes.
Crazy that Oda put benkeis story as a character in one piece even with the bridge.

For a part 2 of this you should cover General Antonio Luna, a Filipino who was the leading general against the American invasion back in the early 1900’s. His name was so powerful that the president at the time (Emilio Aguinaldo) got scared that Luna will take over his position as the president while at war, and that Aguinaldo (or in some newly discovered historical prints, Aguinaldo’s mother), ordered the ambush execution of General Luna. He was shot and stabbed over 30 times while still standing and yelling “TRAITORS” to his fellow soldiers. Truly one of the most badass people in Philippine history
These are great, however tragic stories Many thanks for producing and posting. Awesome to discover this kind of history.

Hey, great video. In the next one you can also cover the story of Baji Prabhu Deshpande who defended a valley till his king, Chhatrapati Shivaji was safely on Vishalgadh fort. He used the terrain and a narrow valley to defend with mere 300 men against 10000 enemy soldiers. He lost his life after suffering over 80 mortal wounds and fighting through the night non stop for 6 hours and fell only after he was given a confirmation of Chhatrapati Shivaji's safety who himself had to fight a battle to reach Vishalgadh with just another 300 men
I clicked on this video only to see this, but he left me disappointed
That story still motivates me like burning fire!! Fighting along side Shivaji Maharaj, and happily sacrificing their lives for him, for Swaraj was a great honour and fortune these shiledars had! Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ki Jai!!
