I'd meet a new friend in armor

who calls him a weaboo?

I'm going to call him a weaboo since you told me NOT to

We do it ironically my mate

I dislike weeaboos who think Japan and Asian culture is just anime and full of being cute.

Total War: Shogun: Italy: The Movie: The Game! ...I'd probably play that, actually.

try that stuff at any park in Los Angeles and I give you about 10 minutes before you are shot by LAPD

@@jeffk464 pretty much in or in most any other state get told to fuck off and leave or get shot

GermanCurl maybe its a Glitch and he will fix it

Metatron got some ninjutsu skills. Can't say that I'm surprised.

It was day one DLC if you pre-ordered the season pass with gold edition.

It's a 16th century lamellar armor or laminar made to look like lamellar. The curved, slightly globose form is from the second half of the 16th century. Japanese torso armor before the 16th century didn't look like that. A15th century Do would look like a V from the front. In the 14th century tailoring in the V form had already happened, but a Do from that century would likely be untailored.

Yeah another fun fact samurai had guns like that in the 16th century it was really cool how acurate the armors are

including Phoenician and Assyrian

Alex Evert Persian immortals when?

Alex Evert tbh I looked for middle eastern armor but all I found was mughal and ottoman armors which are usually after 1500s and not Arabian or persian But I think their armor is close to plated mail or just mail

Mamluk armor does look very cool, i like the style used on sarranid cavalry in Mount & Blade.

Alex Evert i know al-andalus warriors used mainly padded clothes and mail even in the 15th century, they used straight swords and spears with shields and composite bows and javelines for ranged combat both on foot and on horse

Hell Cop ...maybe because our armour was actually functional, unlike all this shitty samurai shit. ... someone wearing this garb would've been slaughtered if faced by a European knight of a similar time frame.

purpleanex the samurai armour are functional, in Japan.

purpleanex this is some Jon snow level nothing knowing.

You would really have to be bias (like Purpleanex) if you actually believe Samurai armor is "shit". In my personal experience and to my knowledge, the arms race between Japan and the hole of Europe has been pretty interesting. For example, the 10th and 11th century, Knights used mail armor that would at times, not even cover their elbow and forearms, leaving their arms totally exposed. While the Samurai are more armored during that same era, because at the time, the majority of the Samurai have dropped the shields by now. By the 16th century, both Samurai and Knights would wear full plate and curiasses since thanks to the help of Dutch merchants and other Western influences. A misconception on Japanese warfare only worked in Japan is also false as Japan has more than once invaded Korea and a few other islands long before the late 19th century. As a matter of fact, Japanese warfare was very advance by the 15th century as they have adopted the usage of Pikes and Matchlock (Pike&Shot) and almost defeated Korea, had it not been for Logistical set backs from naval combat back at sea. As for Lacquered question. The reason why the Samurai even used Lacquere to begin with, is not for protection. Metal and padding does that job just right. Lacquer was used to protect against the weather since armor such as Lamellar and other along the likes are susceptible to water and can really harm the armor. And so, Lacquer was used to water proof their armor to the best of their ability and it worked so they continued to use it even up until the Boshin war. As for Knights or other European armor, by the middle ages, most have adopted mail, and mail was pretty easy to clean out if there was a problem with it. Plate also was pretty easy to maintain as well with little to no problems when it comes to water sinking into the suit.

Steel mail or plate armour doesnt need it. The only thing you need to worry about there is rust, which doesnt form if the armour is properly cared for. Many knights in Europe did paint their armour, though, in order to protect it against rust as paint would shield the steel from water.

Archontasius this is a good question. Interesting...

I’d keep the maedate on a helmet and keep the shoulder guards of the samurai.

I think there's gonna be alot of gaps

LCwavesAtYa Well samurai and romans traditional covered those with leather,silk,and chain mail

@@michaelterrell5061 Ah yes silk, the gentlemans choise of armor :,D

I got myself some armor specifically a kachi class DA600 model

​@mortorinsrenac6510 how did you like it? I'm thinking of getting some myself, but I'm not sure.

Same here, while the former DOES look impressive, in my opinion I actually prefer the latter, both aesthetically and practically... I wonder how it would look like had it had evolved even further? More European perhaps, more or less the same, or a mix of the two?

Hector Hernandez I looked up some tosei gusoke (probably butchered the spelling) particularly the one worn by Uesugi Kenshin, they actually incorporate a lot of European features but still manage to keep that Japanese flare to their armor designs.

Tosei Gusoku is designed for matchlock warfare and the impact cavalry warfare. Aside from the look, it is superior to earlier Samurai armors in almost every single way due to the fact it was made of steel plates instead of mostly bamboos of the earlier armors that only really protects sword slashes and low poundage bows

@@pypy1986820 from what I know, the Japanese never really used wood or bamboo of any sorts in their armor. Pre-Samurai? Probably, but the laquered armor they so often used probably confused you. They used lamellar, mail, and other types of armor like any other culture. It's just that the harsh weather conditions in Japan had them laquer their armor to the point it looked 'wooden'. Just throwing this out for ya. No offense.

@@baronprocrastination1722 I'm not offended. Assume what you said is true, then why Tosei Gusoku doesn't look like colored ropes and wood pieces if lacquer is the cause?

There's countless variations of Japanese mail armor, so it may be a bit difficult. If Japanese did more experimentation than Western Europeans in certain areas, mail armor was one of them. There's also Kikko brigandine, which is another interesting form of armor.

Unforunately for full plate you gotta go to an actual private armorer. I know a few on facebook who are really good but damn expensive, like really expensive. I might make a video about it.

Jose E. Cajigas If you are interested to Japanese arms and armor check this blog: gunbai-militaryhistory.blogspot.it/?m=1 Is still new but there are some nice articles!

StoråsStudio that's because it's not real armour...

purpleanex Well... That just isn't true.

purpleanex How do you mean not real? Whats not real abouut it you mean its CGI or something? the armour doesnt exist? what do you mean by not real?

I imagine stiff horns would be a liability, a way for an opponent to grab or lever your head around, whereas weaker flappy ones don't have that problem

@@purpleanex and the eBay helmet pfp is for pussy ass LARP

I like the 16th century one it looks like a dark,epic, and demonic
