@The ILLEGITKING If you stay alive, you can get captured, get tortured, they can get info from you and so on. It stops all that and protects your clan and name from some guy taking your head legally
@@LamedvavnikI mean think of it like this. For a man that is actually capable of this. They need to basically have no sexual desires and be hyper focused on the things they love to do. Look around society now a days. There are few heroes and even fewer men of action. All the people that passed on their genes were either lucky weak predatory or cowardly. Real warriors have always been rare because the laws of nature do not allow them to exist in our world. They die never baring children and the weak inherit the world.
I first read and heard these stories about Benkei and Yoshitsune when I was a small boy. Very vivid characters who stick with you, like King Alfred, King Arthur, Robert the Bruce and Robin Hood.
Dude was a 6’6 giant man ! in them times as well Japanese men are tiny and we’re even smaller back then ! Could you imagine this dude rocking up on you when your probably about 5ft so it’s not hard to believe he slaughtered so many men 😅 insane !
Even in WW2 typical japanese man were really short compare to fellow asians, Southeast asians or atleast in Myanmar used to call them shorty jap as propaganda. 6'6 in ancient time was surely giant anywhere.
He most likely didn’t exist. He is only mentioned in myths and semi-legendary sources like the Heike Monogatari. On the other hand, his master Minamoto no Yoshitsune most definitely existed as he would play a major role in the Genpei war which led to the rise of the first ever Shogunate in history. With that said, even Yoshitsune’s feats are most likely exaggerated.

Love you’re channel and you’re voice is amazing ! Should try voice acting ! It’s great dude . Please if you see this could you cover some dynasty warriors characters or more samurai dudes this is great ! I beg you to do one on The mighty LuBu !!!! Please 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nioh 2 has similar fashion demon, perhaps a tribute to the original. Oh god it is a tribute because the game did end up having similar events where benki lost to a much smaller opponent then serving him till his last breath dying on a bridge.
Benkei is depicted as being 6'2/188 cm or 6'6/201cm. Remember, he lived in the mid/late 1100s. Where the average samurai would have been a full foot/30cms shorter at the tallest most were likely shorter. The average japanese man TODAY is only 5'7/173 cm tall.
Every human community have plenty of people who become real warriors if needed. The difference about the Japanese is how good they are good at telling the story of their warriors.
As time flies by, he fights with his lord Yoshitsune, King Leonidas, King Gilgamesh, Sir Galahad of the Round Table, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, Hassan I Sabbah, and Fuma Kotaro against Tiamat in ancient Mesopotamia
Benkei was my favourite in samurai warriors game guy was a beast , also fun fact yu gi oh made him into a card . They need to make a show about him anime or whatever dude got a crazy story as do all the great warriors from Japan do greatest skilled sword warriors to ever live .
Close to what happened to whitebeard, stayed back to let the other/s retreat, wasn't a bridge but there is a gap, took a lot of projectiles head on and died standing proud. Gurarararara
Hmmmmmm, that monk sounds like the monk who collected swords in one piece who then fought zoro on a bridge just like in the story and lost and they became friends afterwards
999 seems a convenient number. Who was keeping this record? 😂 probably beat a few, got his ass whooped when he went against a decent samurai. Then that samurai said “he’s enormous, send him out to soak up their arrows!” Still a unit though.
he probably counted the number of swords he took from the samurai. fun fact. Benkei used a 96kg spear during battle and that spear is preserved in Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
imagine dying to protect someone and they kill themselves immediately after
id make sure he doesent get to enjoy heaven
Yeah the whole idea of ritual seppuku is pretty dumb
@@theillegitking1304 The idea is if you're screwed anyway you don't want some random nobody to become famous as the guy who killed you.
It was the plan

Benkei is a G, they need to make an anime about his story
They did
ua-cam.com/video/LjUgz5FHR90/v-deo.html
There's already something similar in an anime
Whitebeard?
@@l0remipsum991 anime called one piece
@@l0remipsum991 no it was an animal who ate a mythical human human fruit. Wano arc I think
Love when videos still use historical pictures instead of ai,i love that
It’s always that 0.01% that stops you from reaching your goal a lol
No comments leme fix that
By the way 35 like
Benkei is basically the Asian version of the Viking who held off the Saxons during the battle BEFORE THE HASTINGS THING
Least benkei didn’t get stabbed in his groin
True they don't make em like they used to

"Did we get him?" Go look! "YOU go look!"

Its not ‘Miyamoto’ its ‘Minamoto’. You are probably getting mixed up with Miyamoto Musashi.

Tadakatsu Honda was 7ft
He is Whitebeard in One Piece world
😂facts
there’s a character with benkeis inspiration in one piece in wano. he takes swords on a bridge from everyone
@@hsjsksf9531and he turns into a fox
THE ONE PIECEEEEE!!! THE ONE PIECE IS REAALLLLLLL!!!
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
So high
Oh oh oooh...oh oh oh ooohh...
This didn't inspire Edward newgate he inspired onimaru from wano
So this is where they based the corrupted monk in sekiro
Finally someone that talk about it🗿
These stories should be made into a movie instead of the crap we have mow
there is series about kamakura shogunate (13 lords shogun)
taiga drama
Personally, my most revered Japanese warrior.
Clearly the greatest black samurai too!
anyone that knows sonmething, knows that warrior monks where far more hardcore than samurais
Obviously. That insane discipline the monks develop helps a ton.
An absolute legend. Endurance personified.
Badass.
Real life Whitebeard
What a legend

His white beard from one piece 💀
This man is a legend
you can see his 96kg spear at Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto!

I knew a Man who died Standing and his name is Whitebeard👨🏼🦳
Well, i know a monk who guarding 1000 swords..
Yep, a ton of inspiration by Japanese legends. Unsurprising really, considering author's country of origin.
found what I was looking for
a reference to Whispered's first album, Thousand Swords
Benkei what is a Shinobi no mono. He defended his lord to the death I trusted sidekick, and every man should have a good friend like that.
Benkei is depicted as being 6'2/188 cm or 6'6/201cm. Remember, he lived in the mid/late 1100s. Where the average samurai would have been a full foot/30cms shorter at the tallest most were likely shorter.
The average japanese man TODAY is only 5'7/173 cm tall.
I studied shotokan karate 🥋 one thing I love about the Japanese people they are real warriors
Every human community have plenty of people who become real warriors if needed.
The difference about the Japanese is how good they are good at telling the story of their warriors.
@@brenorocha6687the Japanese were a rare and impressive race of warriors
What a savage 🔥
Resurrection and judgment
Shin the part of the leg is called "the part you hit to make Benkei cry because of pain" in Japanese we say "Benkei no nakidokoro"
It also took a while for those same warriors to realize the big man was already dead.
Whitebeard🥹
In Japan, the story of the warrior Yoshitsune is a famous kabuki theater play. This kabuki theater play was playing during the Edo period.
Edward new gate 😂 oda u are smart
2 meters is still short
As time flies by, he fights with his lord Yoshitsune, King Leonidas, King Gilgamesh, Sir Galahad of the Round Table, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, Hassan I Sabbah, and Fuma Kotaro against Tiamat in ancient Mesopotamia
You forgot to mention sindbad the sailor and popeye the sailor
Oden+whitebeard????
His story was featured in a detective conan episode
Benkei was my favourite in samurai warriors game guy was a beast , also fun fact yu gi oh made him into a card . They need to make a show about him anime or whatever dude got a crazy story as do all the great warriors from Japan do greatest skilled sword warriors to ever live .
Jokes on you. Miyomoto musashi was greater.
@@squaretrianglez na
@@Jokesonyou123 Prove it. Benkei was just myth. Musashi has written record to prove it. He wrote books of five rings.
@@squaretrianglez i didn’t say musashi wasn’t really did I ? I have the book right next to me …
Lets not forget the fact that Minamoto managed to defeat him
Baggio died standing
Reminds me of latest wano arc in one piece, when Zorro fought the sword collector on the bridge
Whitebeard😎
Omg it's white beared
Whats the name of the music piece?
Miyamoto Clan 🎩
Mystical Ninja ft. Goemon your welcome
Whats the song
Pretty sure a Spartan boy died standing "three speers and the boy of no more then 14 years died on his feet"
As a massive one piece fan people keep mentioning OP but this makes me think of Jet Li's hero.
They made a yugi oh card from this dude
Close to what happened to whitebeard, stayed back to let the other/s retreat, wasn't a bridge but there is a gap, took a lot of projectiles head on and died standing proud. Gurarararara

Big benkei for the pendulum plays!

WOAH, DAMN! idk what the hell you feeding him but he TOO DAMN BIG. ~James carter 1998
So this was Shirohige's inspiration
I don't know about honor but that is impressive.
Me: Mom I want Bankai
Mom: We have Bankai at home
Bankai at home:
He beat 999 Samurai Warriors, WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!
The spear that he used in battle is 96kg and is preserved in the Kiyomizu temple
Ayo this Hanayama Tatoo story from Baki
Samurai Female warriors Hester ❤
Man, this culture was riddled with honorable men. They died on that shit. Wish it was still prevalent in todays society.
Finally found inspiration behind whitebeard (one piece)
Life of Benkei, looks of Hulk Hogan
Heh, I live right by this guy's grave. I'm hoping he shows up in the batch of nearly 1000 year old stories I'm translating.
It took a descendent of Miyamoto, Musashi to take down this man let that sink in
Hmmmmmm, that monk sounds like the monk who collected swords in one piece who then fought zoro on a bridge just like in the story and lost and they became friends afterwards
Welcome to Nioh 2
Imagine if he said, " THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
Where are the 999 swords today who owns or possessed them
The One Piece is real
In onepiece Wano arc i saw him😄, he take Zoro sword too
Way stronger than Miyamoto Musashi
They lived in different times. Musashi would win though may be weaker by nrute force.
Suigetsu but with kisames height.😂😂
OG Whitebeard.
is that really happened?
"The man who died standing"
One piece fans: "You mean whitebeard?"
Cool story but very cap.
Sounds like a tryhard move
BASED.
Oh this is the guy in ONE PIECE who took zoro’s sisui sword he even looks the same
Legend says he wanted to build the Iron Throne but abandoned the idea.
he would have builded it. every summurai hed to carry 2 katans as tradition.
whitebeard prototype?
Then killed 300 more warriors in combat , wow, A GREAT FILM CAN BE DONE HERE, WOW
The one piece is real
Bro literally got a d*ck in his pfp 🤢
Didn't knew white beard was a samurai
武蔵坊弁musahibou benkei

White beard energy 😤
999 fights undefeated? Who is he fighting against? 4th graders?
Well Japan’s men are really small and we’re even smaller back in them times and the dude was a giant 6’6 my man . He was no joke ! 😂
In one piece white beards death was similar to benkeis.
Also he sppears in the one piece anime😂
Doubt.
999 seems a convenient number. Who was keeping this record? 😂 probably beat a few, got his ass whooped when he went against a decent samurai. Then that samurai said “he’s enormous, send him out to soak up their arrows!”

didnt know white beard is referrence to these guy
