weebs: “the katana was the superior weapon” samurai the second the weird-talking white people brought boomsticks:

The samurai were first archers, so of course they would adopt long range weapons.

Nobunaga the millisecond after seeing a gun

They also then wanted superior European armor because it stopped bullets.

True weebs know that Samurai predominantly used the bow and spear, the katana was a sidearm and a badge of office.

Best weapon in the Nioh series

I went to a samurai museum and was surprised at how much of it was displays of firearms

"weird-talking white people"

When people don't realize it was China who invented guns and not Europeans/"White people with boomsticks"

How long did take Japan or China to realize , hey we can make our own guns

They called him the Fool, but only to cope with his genius.

Especially if you try and gank their cattle, you will end up packed in salt

The music

There is an entire YouTube channel documenting the gun tradition in Japan. The Gun Samurai. Documents extensive gun ceremonies and practices of Japan since the 1600s.

weebs: "swords are honorable" samurai: "boomstick go BOOM"

It's a superior weapon compared to other swords........ not to guns... retards....

The katana is a beautiful sword, no mistaking that. But let us not forget what the Boshin War, and especially the Satsuma Rebellion ultimately proved in the end.

The Music is absolute peak for this!

Weebs ignoring that samurai in war were pragmatic and preferred ranged weapons like bow, spears and tanegashima aquebus and other firearms. The katana was more of a back up weapon.

The original LLM. Imagine being a samurai and getting introduced to vibe killing.

1550年頃に織田信長が銃を知った直後、大量に製造し戦争に使用した。 この数はヨーロッパ全体の銃の合計を超える。 侍は本来、戦闘に長けた高度な集団。刀は身分の象徴。

Samurais were horse archers first, Katana, like most types of swords, are carried as a "self-defense weapon". Also, they even used firearms before Europeans introduced them to matchlocks.

and this is why Japan is a 1st world nation while a certain continent is 3rd world wasteland.

Nobunaga nearly unified Japan because of this life hack

People have this weird idea that samurai didn't use guns. Not only did they use them, they embraced the gun. Japanese manufactured their own matchlock guns and used them extensively.

Samurai: Can we borrow that boomstick? Portuguese: You must accept Jesus fi- Samurai: (Bowing) Done. Boomstick plz

It’s called drip

It's funny that what stopped the proliferation and advancement of firearms technology in Japan was, ironically, the Japanese government. Japanese firearms were advancing comparatively faster than Europe and were used more in warfare until the Tokugawa clamped down on them.

I love the Meiji era, why? Because guns took out those bastard samurai.

It is funny how people go "SAMURAI WOULD NEVER USE GUNS, THAT'S DISHONOR!" No, that's both stupid, and historically wrong.

Whatever it hits be like

Katana glazers have been extinct for like a decade
