Heroes in History: Hitokiri
Вставка

- [Note: Please watch to the end...I worked really hard on that meme battle, and I'd love for ya'lls thoughts]
Some warriors do not fight for money or fame or even honor. They fight because they enjoy killing...because life is a falsehood and they will free the weak and pitiful souls who continue to stumble through it. In For Honor, the Hitokiri are such warriors, former executioners turned psychopaths who haunt the battlefield with their giant axe, butchering anyone who dares challenge them. But who are they based on?
Journey with me to the Bakumatsu where we look at Japans "Four Horsemen of the Bakumatsu" known simply as "The 4 Hitokiri." We'll explore who they were, how they rose to prominence, and what became of them. We'll explore some pop culture references from the hitokiri, and...the ultimate question: what the heck is that crazy hair hat the For Honor Hitokiri wears?

Raven: some fight for honor
Peter griffin: AH! AH! AH! HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT!

From caring a lot about For Honor and the inspiration Ubi takes in order to make new heroes, I always believed that, unlike the other characters, who draw more on history, that Hitokiri in the game drew more on japanese folklore for their inspiration. This video covered the historical origins of the word and who were called that in history, and I believe that is half of it, but the other half of the hitokiri I believe comes from the yokai O-nyudo, which were buddhist warrior monks corrupted by evil/dead spirits, that wandered the lands killing and adding heads to belts and sashes around their chest, like the waist garb we see Hito with in the game, those doll heads with different expressions on their faces symbolizing the many dead, collected by the Hitokiri. Plus their entire garb style in the game is very appropriate for a Buddhist Monk, and with their lore and character emphasizing folklore and being Shinigami, or at least messengers of death, I feel it's quite appropriate. This video covered the historical side of the name, and I enjoyed it!!

Cant wait for highlanders hero’s in history
It's pretty straightforward but diving deeper into it could further educate us all
There can be only one.
SCOTLANDDDDDDDDD
Especially when they tell you about them becoming a more powerful immortal with every kill.
Higanders were inspired by the Macgregors clan I think
Damn this guy does his research and that ending was hilarious
Been playin hitokiri a lot. I gotta get that horkos armor just because.
Theres something very pleasing about our hito getting brought up again, I always felt like hito was falling into obscurity but I'm happy yall bringin her back
Thankth
I mean hito is currently one of if not the best duelists in the entire game so they're hardly obscure
@@Beanpolr yeah but as a hito player I wont lie the new ones are pretty bad, considering all I have to do is run up, do a full charge heavy and they dodge attack immediately every single time.
All the new hito players must be from the wu lin faction I swear
The hitokiri is such a badass hero I love playing as them
Agreed, definitely in my top 5 favorite hero’s
Ah I’m always stuck thinking he’s OP, but I’m not the best at the game anyway. Though I don’t really enjoy getting one combo’d by him when it happens 😅
Yea, chain smoking is pretty cool

Ravens Knight's heros in history videos are the only thing that could make me wanna sit down for more than 5 hours and listen to them
Absolutely great video, once again. Always love watching these, and I always learn something. Keep it up!
I got shivers listening to the final seconds of you talk I been loving your videos I’m looking forward to seeing more
Been waiting for this video and it was very interesting and educational, keep up the good work man
I’m really enjoying these. I’d love to see you do these videos over and make them much longer. Going more in depth on everything.
Can't wait to see a video on kyoshin when he is out.
Well, most samurai didn't follow that drastically the honour code, many parts of their behaviour were dependant on their Daimyo's orders and their bond of absolute loyalty to him.
Well more that was honor to them.
Honor is loyalty and service to your daimyo in samurai culture
The honor code is about loyalty that’s what they see as honorable it’s not about being chivalric
I love this series raven! Thank you man!
The historical journey that awaits inside each of these videos is fucking amazing. This can only be pulled off by a true blood For Honor fan. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this because hitroki is my favorite character thank you for making this video
Great video! Do you have Zhanhu planned for the future?
The next hero he’s doing is highlander he’s planning on doing all the characters I think so he’ll eventually get to zhanhu
So glad i subbed to u homie
Well played on that alluring intro, worth seeing
Great video Raven the analogy’s were great and really helped me understand the difference between the Hitokiri and the regular samurai, any plans for a warlord heroes in history
Loved ur narration man very interesting
Would love to see Nuxia or Zhanhu next. Love your videos.
Im loving the end bro. That shit was funny
Gonna make a hitokiri cosplay as kyoshin
Thanks for going back in time to tell us
Any time!
Great video Please do raider in the future!!
I still remember when Hitokiri came out, and now you rarely see anyone playing them
Hitokiri main since the first day they dropped. Almost rep 70 now... Doesn't matter if they get nerfed into the ground again, hito will always be my number 1!
Good shit bro, I really wanna make sure u take the proper time to do the best research on Kyoshin bcuz I feel like alot of ppl are going to connect with this hero & luv him deeply. An the next big question I want u to talk about on FH Fridays is" The next big gameplay mechanic & balancing fix should be Reflex Gaurd", bcuz these heros are at such disadvantage defensively.
Thank you, I will purchase one of those hats
Great video
This is some good content
I seen Samurai X Trust And Betrayel and it is my favorite movie of any kind of all time. I had no idea he was derived from an actual person in real life. My wife HATES anime and I got her to watch it and she cried at the end
yo u were lowkey going off on that hito gameplay
Hope you make one for raider soon!
I love that he’s just kicking ass whilst talking about this
Ou my friend just gained a sub
Honestly I wanna see orochi, kensei, tiandi and zhanhu soon
This for some reason makes me wanna play Nioh again
Can we get a shugoki video? I'm curious to see if there was a group of 400 pound samurai badasses
I would love for the hitokiri to get a one sided masakari.
I think the reason behind hito's double bladed axe is more to distinguish them from other axe wielding heroes like raider and berserker.
Still love the hero tho
I like your videos, but can you maybe add some more pictures when you’re explaining the history? It makes it really visual.
Keep it up 👍
And the gameplay can be distracting so putting some pics for a few seconds can help focusing in the explanation.
I loved the fuck out of this video. Do Goki next!!!
I love this character.
I would love to see either highlander or warlord next
I feel like orochi would be interesting
Rurouni Kenshin is awesome
Love that I heard a discord notification in the background.
hitokiri more like chain smoker
What's the history behind the headdress they wear?
Holy shit I didn’t know until now but these guys are basically the manslayers from the anime Rurouni Kenshin
Why i feel Gensai vibes on Kyoshin, can you make the heroes of history for Kyoshin? thx
13:50 Hey. I know that shark
Dude I love rouni Kenshin I never knew
I know this is a two year old video but I whole heartedly second watching the anime and reading the manga Rurouni Kenshin, can't say for the movie as I've never seen it.
How about Zhanhu next?
I would love to see berserker done next or raider
1:20 hold up got a discord message
If anyone read this...
Good job
My Main 👺❤
Can you please do Jiang Jun next?
Would be cool, definetly.
JJ is based on Guan Yu, a warrior from Eastern Han Dynasty of China.
@@Pope301 Thanks for the info! I freaking LOVE learning about stuff like this
This guy is the vaati Vidya of for honor
“Yeah I know who that is”
Bro whats the helm he using i want itt
What is the anime called?
I want to re live the day Hitokiri was released in for honor. I was new ish to the game at the time (some where around player Rep 20-30) and I for some reason hated her on release and chose to completely over look her. It wasnt until a few weeks ago I finally decided to buy her and fell in love with the simple power brute forcing through every enemy with a giant axe and feeling like the embodiment of death like the cringe lord I am 😂
Ive actually been playing her so much that im becoming to brain dead to play any other hero. I think she has stolen my soul.
Poor soul, trapped by the rot of the hito.
@@LeGabrielMan Rep 30 Hitokiri still going hard
Hito my man.
yess hitokiri!!!!
I still think of them as personal executioners to the emperor 🤔
I want one about shaman
Can you do gryphon
Already did Gryphon
So a Hitokiri is basically a juggernaut that walks into a village and erases it from existence…. Huh how nice
just waiting for the zhanhu vid
Do Kyoshin please m8
The gameplay be like: DODGE HEBY
The last hitokiri looks like keyoshin
Pls do Kyoshin next
Need more time with Kyoshin before I do him.
Fair enough but I think he is fun to play as, even if he is considered to be weak by a lot of people
Hitokiri is O.p.... 😮💨
Well you can learn more here History than school
When is the werewolf video coming out??
First or second week of August
@@RavenKnightYT 🤪👍
I think on for Jiang jun would be interesting
We need the Highlander
Will you end up doing Kyoshin?
Of course.
As a rep 17 hito I respect this
Welp now I have a new clan name for shinobi striker
AHAHAH THE K E N P A C H I
Can you do Orochi next please?
Yes and no, Sakura in For Honor was a top tier assassin that even her family fear even though they were assassins too, she was send to assassinate a target that she was not supposed to survive but came to her family then they were surprised to see her still alive. Once she discovered her treacherous family's plan to get her kill she got depressed and life was no more meaning to her so she killed her family and wandered the land to redeem all sinners. So yes, she are indeed a psychopath but not because she wants blood and pain but because she does not care anymore about anyone or anything.
You’re thinking of Yato. The male Hitokiri. Sakura was an executioner who went to a village to kill a criminal but then blacked out and killed everyone in the village.
@@RavenKnightYT I thought it was the opposite for Yato and Sakura but seems not.
That would be sociopathic. Physcopaths are by nature. Sociopaths are by nurture.
Do Tiandi
God damn
0:03 Roll credits
