Bowing to your enemy before butchering them. That is the way of the Samurai.
From Episode 9 of Shogun (2024). Episode 10 has not been released at the time of this upload.
Love that he does a little bow before he slices them up “Sorry boys but I have my lady’s orders” lol
He even let's them make the first move and still they are too slow.
My mum's picking me up...
Blackthorn is right. pointless death so a powerful man can become more powerful
For the lady!
very reminiscent of sword of the morning scene. "I wish you good fortune in the wars to come"
First strike cut off the fingers so he could not get his katana out - finally saw this on the slow mo!!
wow
Dude that’s nuts! I wouldn’t even have thought to slo-mo this to check it out without your comment. The attention to detail in this show is off the charts, even putting in something that isn’t even noticeable in normal speed!
wowowwow
And he let him draw first! Like an old western dual.
damn... your right... it's even better in slow-mo! awesome!
My boy was in fram for less than 30secs and he left us one of the most replayable scene of this epic show
Nah, thee most replayable until the final battle. lol
I'm on episode 4 and I have to say I've given up. This is the most overrated boring show I've seen in a while. The action is bland and the blackthorne character has the most annoying voice I have ever heard. It's one of those voices you hear from a wizard in a video game. 2.5 out of 5 for me
@@rayromano6249 must suck to suck
@@rayromano6249 I wouldn't go that far, but its definitely overrated af.
@@rayromano6249 some of us are dialogue enjoyers.. I enjoy the story telling of this show far more than any action pack tv series… It’s ok.. it’s not meant for everyone…
Let’s face it, probably everyone who watched this episode did a rewind in this scene 😅
rewinds. and multiple :P
And saying shit wtf after the arrow strike
It currently stuck on repeat
well did you notice in the latter part there is a samurai that loses his head and there is nobody form the ishido side around him to actually chop his head off and the guy he was fighting got almost ripped in half and he didn't do it in his death throes. i must have replayed that part 50 times to figure out how he actually lost his head. it just falls off
Yep lol
That one samurai didn't even have a name, but he is a hero amongst the Shogun community. A absolute chad.
He's called the three strike samurai
That's Chad-sama to you.
“Three point saber combo!” - Zanny
He's Boba Fett
He joined TR8R in glory
I'm glad you cut it before he gets shot with that arrow. Such an undignified death for such a badass. The Goat.
There’s no greater death than dying in battle. It may have been disappointing but he died with the highest of honors.
@@CrimsonReclaimer I agree with you. For example, when a commander received the news of the death of a subordinate officer in battle during a major battle, instead of being saddened, everyone present applauded and rejoiced. This was because, in those days, it was considered a great honor to die fighting for one's lord by his side.
No, he died with honour, serving his lady and lord, not to mention in battle nonetheless. There is a lot of dignity in his death.
@@CrimsonReclaimer Not all battles are equal lmfao. There's no honour over dying in a conflict created by some greedy government or petty oligarch, as many poor soldiers do. Only people who say shit like you are people who have never gone to war. This point is more or less made directly in one of the show's earlier episodes, when Toranaga's son is eager to hear battle stories and gets told off.
@@Sazed0 Well in this specific case there was honor in his death, we all know what the Tokugawa shogunate will bring to the country and they are fighting for that. When whoever you're serving will bring forth the unification of the whole country, ending civil wars and famine with more than 200 years of peace i think it's safe to say it's a cause worth dying for. You're comparing greedy little politicians of today with great figures of the past lol, there's not even a comparison.
Imagine being that actor, you get casted for this series where you're not either main nor secondary character, yet you get to be in the spotlight for what's arguably the most epic looking fight scene even if it lasts three seconds
Arthur Dayne from GoT type character
It's fairly normal stuff in most Japanese period dramas LMAO
Real fights do not last long.
It's like that random stormtrooper with the baton in Star Wars The Force Awakens.
@@thepowerofsand6180I wish there was a spin off for Dayne house. I liked him and his sister in the books
I love how the samurai right behind him was ready to go to work too, in case he failed
Samurai, if took the warrior's path, were indoctrinated and taught to be honorable, and respectful towards their foes. It would've been very disrespectful of him to not give the guards a chance to actually fight him. He's in his armour and with the sword he trained with, likely since his youth. He just tipped the scales to their favour, so they didn't die a dishonorable death. The other samurai just kept at the ready, since he was the closest standing to the lady.
0:22 This swordsmanship is a martial art called "Iai” or "Iai-do”. In addition to arm strength, the speed of the sword and the flexibility of the arms and wrists are required. This scene would become a famous scene in Iai, comparable to the final duel scene in Kurosawa's film "Yojimbo (1961)”.
@@iyi553 Yojimbo is a personal favorite, love that movie!!
That first strike was nasty AF dude literally cut off that man’s fingers before he could draw his katana, brutal
Oh shoot, I didn't catch that.
この時代は刀に手をかける事が害意を示すFAとなる。鯉口から刀を外す音がヒントになる。先に殺意を示したのがどちら側なのか、もう一度見て確認する必要があります。
0:25刀を抜く前のここで戦いは始まっている。どちらかが刀に手をかけたら開始合図となる。 相手より早く刀身を抜き、相手より早く太刀を浴びせた者が勝者となる。
I love it when shows depicts ‘realistic’ moves. While most of the time sword fight scenes get overblown, it is very satisfying to see a fight scene starts and ends in less than 5 seconds through logical strikes.
if u put on slow mo .. u can even see the adjustment he made to strike the fingers
If there’s no archers there those two samurai would killed all those guard
maybe thats why there were archers.
and thats exactly why there are archers
@@thepcfdyup they knew they was done lol
To be able to hit the samurai's neck from 20 meters away, these archers are very well trained warriors too.
@@CrasusC no way thats walls top is 20 meters.
I too was amazed watching this scene, his moves were so confident and smooth. But he was struck with an arrow the very next moment, I felt sad that we couldn't see much action.
exactly, doing a badass double kill like this and be kill by a poor arrow few second after is really sad... actually i dont get to point to wear such big armors just to get one shot by everything lol
But this was reality. Most Samurai focussed on archery rather than combat because it was an easier kill and safer distance. Combat was mostly reserved for the poor peasants or lower ranks.
The main reason why crossbows were banned by the Vatican in the medieval ages, it allowed a simple peasant to kill a trained knight with just one bolt.
that's just how life is, archers r shooting from a close range no way they're gonna miss a defenseless target
@@winnquest Well tbf, the guy got hit in the neck with the arrow, and no matter what kind of armor you are wearing unless it's some kind of solid block of metal, you will not be able to prevent an arrow from hitting you there and killing you. Every piece of armor that was widely used throughout history had gaps of varying width at the armpit, groin, and neck, to allow for increased mobility.
And what a perfect reward for our patience. Beautifully choreographed, exquisitely performed. This scene alone is a masterpiece in an already incredible episode.
What is so masterpiece about it?
@@nemanjanika2984 bro, are you mentally ill, he just wrote beautifully choreographed, exquisitely performed. What else do you want? Mona Lisa on the samurais forehead?
@@nemanjanika2984 do a rewind :) first strike takes the finger of the bad guy #1, second strike kills the # 2 and then he returns to number 1# such fluidity and preciseness... never saw that in a movie before.
@@nemanjanika2984the samurai has incredible form. His fighting stance is strong like any true martial artist. Most movies and TV shows have HORRIBLE swordfighting choreography. Even though this scene is very short, there is really good attention to detail. Leaves me wanting more!
I like how his homie was getting ready to back him up just in case lol @0:28 😂
We all need a ride-or-die buddy
So much aura from this unknown badass samurai that his death a second later actually made me sad.
But we will remember him forever.
when I saw this scene I thought: "this is a strong guy, I hope he doesn't die" and then shortly after he gets shot with an arrow and I was shocked. But in the end, this made me appreciate the series even more.
Great scene. As I recall, in the book, the warriors introduced themselves before fighting. That was a good, important touch I wished they'd kept in this scene.
Especially when you realize that Samurai were akin to Western Knights, often times coming from lesser royalty or a long lineage as Samurai where their family name mattered.
Like the Heros in Iliad of Homer.
@@lynnjr457 They were also a lot more practical than fiction would have you believe. Introducing themselves when they had deadly intend is kinda the opposite of that.
@@willconn3620 Really? Practicality kinda falls flat in a culture where you have people killing themselves just to prove a point
Sort of, but not quite. Mariko was the one who inquired, but her Samurai rushed forward upon being given the order, without any introduction. Here's the excerpt of the scene in question: Mariko said formally, “I am Toda Mariko-noh-Buntaro and I have been ordered by my liege Lord, Lord Toranaga, to escort his ladies to meet him. Kindly let us pass.” “I would be glad to, Lady,” the samurai said proudly, planting his feet, “but without papers our liege Lord says no one may leave Osaka Castle. Please excuse me.” Mariko said, “Captain, what is your name please?” “Sumiyori Danzenji, Lady, Captain of the Fourth Legion, and my line is as ancient as your own.” “So sorry, Captain Sumiyori, but if you do not move out of the way I will order you killed.” “You will not pass without papers!” “Please kill him, Yoshinaka-san.” Yoshinaka leaped forward without hesitation, his sword a whirling arc, and he struck at the off-balanced Gray. His blade bit deep into the man’s side and was jerked out instantly, and the second more vicious blow took off the man’s head, which rolled in the dust a little way before stopping.
the way he puts the katana back is so flawless
The slash in the air was meant to remove the blood from the katana before sheathing it, quite a gangster detail
It’s so they don’t rust. These Samurai were perfectionists.
Though it doesnt work and they would never sheet a sword after it got bloody. It starts to rust fast and you cant clean the blood in the sheet.
The shiburi doesn’t remove any blood, you would still need to wipe it out with a piece of cloth or even paper. In modern budo martial arts like iaido it is just ritualistic, but in an actual fight it helps to release tension within the arm itself.
It's just style points, you still need to wipe the blood with a piece of cloth
If you watch closely it looks like he wipes it off before he sheaths the blade again
the flick of the blade to tget rid of the blood always gets me.
He cuts the hand first and then killed the other guy while he thought he wasn't paying attention to the guy on the left and then finished him off. That was a professionally and clean fight.
The bow is very fitting. Not only as a greeting, it is also done in Kendo, the training sport for Samurai, before a duel and lastly because this is a very formal act of showing respect to his opponent who even in the face of certain death stands by what his lord ordered him to enforce.
Kendo isn't "Samurai training sport" it doesn't use curved swords and it has rules to it.
@@Nightwalk444 We used curved swords and had free duals. It's not just kata
@@KrokLP It's incredibly troll to say Kendo makes you better at fighting with swords, it's a sport. Kobudo is where it's at. Even Tameshigiri is bad for you because you learn to take big commitmental swings when in an actual sword fight you need small ergonomic movements.
I loved the bow just before the three-piece combo. "With utmost respect, you two are about to get packed up."
Her bodyguards were so badass full of honor. You know you're screwed when your killer bowed before deciding to take your life 😭
Japanese can truly sound beautiful and poetic one moment, then terrifying and ground-shaking the next.
This is probably the most historically accurate portrayal of a samurai sword dual you'll ever see on TV.
The combat in this show is realistic. No clashing of blades like in Hollywood (that would actually risk breaking the katana which is not meant for hacking). They just go for the kill like how real life combat is supposed to be rather than clashing swords.
I don't know what you have against parrying or blade contact? Have you never seen a HEMA match?
@@MinecraftAddict991 Do they fight with katanas?
@@MinecraftAddict991lmao, hema doesn’t use katanas….
Clashing of blades is a result of both sides trying to prevent their vitals from being slashed, it's called combat. Naturally they go for the kill when killing an unarmed man like seen here, but clashing is inevitable in combat until one side loses.
@@MinecraftAddict991 HEMA is for larpers in Renfaires
I love how efficient samurai are with their swords. Every strike counts and is executed with absolute precision not to mention the fluidity of their motions.
I like how the actions are short. We need more efficiency and short moments than big battles we see most in hollywood.
@@jmgonzales7701 that was good choreography in that fight scene
I practiced Kendo, this scene is phenomenal. such beautiful swordsmanship I ever saw.
None of the funding for this beautiful show goes to waste. Such a great performance.
I love how he just looks back to ask if she would like him to kill the rest, but she just nods to say, "No, we've made our point."
The most badass nameless Samurai from the show so far. I love how all the Samurai in this show are just like machines that obey every order from their lord/lady.
he did one of those epic moves in superhero movies and after two steps he died, it's a bit cruel and sad but it clearly shows how easy it was to die in ancient times and that anyone can die easily even if you're like the heroes in reality. as someone who values realism, I liked this scene a lot. but damn man, I wish he hadn't died... :/)
When you value really talented warriors and then they just die, *Like that* . Shit burns.
This wasnt "ancient"
I'd hardly call the year 1600 "Ancient Times", you're into the Early Modern Period by then, and near the start of the Edo Era in Japan itself. The sentiment is still true though, but I'd argue it's just as easy to die even today, humans are fragile when it comes to going against weapons we designed to kill each other, even protection like plate armor in the late middle ages and cuirasses for cavalry later on can only hold up for so long as the premier form of protection when firearm technology continues to creep up in power, humans will always find a more efficient way to kill each other no matter how many stop-gaps are put in place to prevent death.
This is 400 years ago. Hardly ancient times
I love the great example of Iaijustu where he draws the sword and slices all in one movement. Master of the quick draw skill.
I knew that the draw was a skill, however I didn't know it had a name. Thanks.
@@donnovicki9771 That is what it is called in a P&P roll playing game I play called Bushido. If that is not the real name, please forgive me. I think that is it though.
Isnt this iado
Even in slow motion, this is brutal and showed amazing skill.
A duel like this is what I've been waiting to see in a series or movie ever since I read the book of five rings for the first time. His drawing of the katana already incapacitated his first opponent, his positioning allowed to quickly kill his second opponent in his second move. Absolutely love it.
One of the most badass cool movie scenes I have ever seen .
The attention to details is just amazing.
yeah but i have a bit of a gripe in the latter part of the fight scene their is a guy losing his head and nobody is there to chop it off.
Also no blood on samurai blade.
Fucking archers took all the fun outfit ,he was bad ass cut through those 2 like wind through branches ,water around rocks ,smooth as silk
awesome SAMURAI
Fact!
Samurais are one of the top coolest medieval warriors
I deeply appreciate the fact that the samurai bowed to them first before one-hit unaliving them. He is truly an honorable samurai.
what a focking genious u r for uploding a clip from a movie to youtube!
That fluid sword motion!
The samurai looks so cool here. It’s like fighting robots!
Darth Vader's cyborg costume was based on samurai armour.
A nice demonstration of iaijutsu to begin this fight. Some fearsome sword drawing skills.👍
the detail in the gurgling sound the actor made after getting his throat sliced was just insane detail. I spewed out my yakisoba. Nothing but sheer respect for the professionalisms displayed in Shogun
OMG, the fingers DO get sliced off . Wow
0:34 Going well so far pretty cool !
the darkness of cinematic of this shot makes it so tensed and heavy and amazing as well. and how that samurai bows and stored his katana, with expertise. i wish shogun has some epic battle with lord torunaga vs ishido
this whole episode was so damn good. I'm still reeling from its ending, my word. one more night of sleep until I can watch the glorious finale.
The pose the voice the skill the cheorgraphy of the samurai stance even behind him is wow...just wow
The man is too clean for us to bring him soap.
Such a kick-ass scene. Going after the fingers on his opponents sword hand was an amazing touch, too.
3 precise strikes with no wasted movements or flashly strikes. God, I love samurais.
I just can’t stop watching this scene
I’d be the Samurai at the back tying his shoe laces.
The only fight scene you get in a 10 episode run. 😂
saw this one in the trailer and I was waiting for it every week!
3 moves, 2 kills. A really solid Samurai fight that is fast
those guys in the back must've mentally pissed themselves after this like "oh shit that guy is the real deal he's a real samurai" 😂
They're all samurai
the way he looks back at her for acknowledgement, amazing scene
I like the fact that the other gatekeeper soldiers dont just immediately run screaming. Even though they are clearly doomed.
I don't know what was colder, bowing before you dice up two guys with three slashes or the way he sheathed his blade.
The iaido is strong with that
That last flick was to get the blood off, gangster move
B R U H! Did he just straight up slice off the first guy's fingers, so he couldn't draw his sword!? What a f*cking legend!
I watched this scene 30 times, and try to pay attention in every detais...all actor, all emotions, all movements, all speeches...just perfect!!!
I absolutely love the way they did this scene. I remember the chapter in the novel. It was pretty much described exactly the same give or take. Brilliant scene.
One of the best thing about it was they showed that sword duels do not last hours or even minutes as the quickest and most accurate strike does the job.
Thats how they fought, if you have to hit swords too much, your sword will get blunt very quickly. Trained to kill on the draw.
Drawing the Katana from the scabbard was an art unto itself.
So smooth!!!!
seriously that samurai attackd those guards with precision.even for the hands first and throat...
the best samurai show eer produced and only one bonafide sword fight! not sure how they pulled it off but they made n amazing show that caused the exploration of so many emotions not typically present in this genre. the is a masterpiece of epic proportions!!!
This episode was so, so good! Mariko’s actress had no bad scene. What a powerhouse.
The bow, the strikes, the looking back at his master, and the announcement. This is perfect scene
one of the best samurai scenes in the show! those Toronaga samurai were fearless. They knew they would die fighting and would not make it outside the castle due to the overwhelming force against them.
*Slings blood off his blade casually before slow mo sheathing lol
Damn it feels good to be a gangster
the choreo of the first guy cutting down the two guards is just fucking awesome
Absolute pure quality!
That sheathing of the blade is the coolest I've ever seen in my life!
most satisfying sword sheath ever. This show is so good
After he pieced them up and before he sheathed the blade, did he jerk the blade down to sling as much blood from the blade before sheathing it home?
thanks for the video.
The respect, man. Samurai even bowed to their enemies before fighting. No ill-will, no evil eye, simply "you are my opponent and I respect you, even if you stand against me."
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good Hollywood made Feudal-Japan masterpiece. The filmmakers got this one right, reinforcing Mariko’s authority, & the Samurai’s skill. Just by the clean movements and the ‘Noto’ (The movement of the sword re-entering the scabbard) alone, the actor portraying the samurai studied this part well. Sure it’s a prop, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he studies Iaido
このシリーズは現在、日本で製作されている時代劇より素晴らしい作品です。
I rewinded like 5 times during this scene. So good
I was absolutely stonned off my head when i watched this scene this scene was amazing ❤ downloaded Shogun 2 TTW again. MUCH LOVE FOR THIS FROM FIJI ISLANDS
Satisfying i want more of this fight
Yo I thought I was the only one but I fucking loved this Iai. I rewound it like 7 times because it was just so clean
That was not Iai. Iai is when the samurai draws, slashes and sheathes his blade in one motion. This samurai drew his sword, slashed three times, stopped, cleaned the blade, and then sheathed it.
@@Seffyzero Iaido then 🙄
the samurai telling them to back down, no matter what the odds. discipline and willpower when facing death.
Man we needed more of that. Badass
One word I can describe this episode……awesome !
what everyone imagines a samurai to be.
So clean, so elegant, art
I love how this show is really not about action like this but it still manages to do it better than anything out there. This show doesn't miss.
Imagine if Buntaro was there
He's good but he cant fly up a wall, can only shoot one arrow at a time and only in one direction at a time so he'd die along with the rest of them.
@@ZHBraden13 There would be a lot more dead bodies though
Daddy Buntaro would chef them up quick
This show goes so hard!!!!!!
I love how she’s says “please kill them” very polite. All those men were like duck those guys stood their ground.
Zero hesitation. No questions. Absolute loyalty.
Very powerful scene.
Kindda sad that they fought knowing that they would all die
This show needed more of this.
How many tens of thousands of times must he have practiced those movements knowing full well when the time comes for actual combat there are trained and untrained. The two practiced a few hundred draws and cuts a day.....this dude did a thousand. It made the difference.
