  • Hiroo Onoda - The holdout Japanese soldier who refused to believe that Japan had surrendered. Loyal servant of the Emperor, he kept true and faithful to his orders to never surrender and to keep on until his commanding officer returned.... in 1974 !

    As a Filipino, I can say the animations were accurate. The style of the village houses, The fatigue uniforms of provincial cops at that era, the vehicle (M151 utility jeep), the weapons used by the cops, and the farmers and their farmlands. Although I think the jungle looks more like a scene from Call of Duty World at War than the actual jungle here in the Philippines. Anyway, your animating skills are improving with every video you uploaded with the excellent storytelling and pleasing details. I'm glad that such a history channel with this effort existed on a free platform available to everyone anytime :)

    Very nice, as always. One thing, though: I notice you didn't mention Teruo Nakamura (alias Lee Kuang-Hui), who actually held out longer than Onoda (18 December 1974 vs 9 March 1974), but didn't meet a hero's welcome on his return like Onoda did, because he was ethnically Taiwanese, not Japanese. Also, Nakamura was a private, while Onoda, being a lieutenant, automatically had higher prestige. This meant he was not well recieved by the Japanese. The Taiwanese people, by this point independent from Japan, also did not exactly welcome him with open arms, viewing him as a Japanese loyalist. However, he was the last soldier of WW2 to continue fighting, and his story deserves to be told.

    I remember as a teen in the '70s hearing his story as it was being broadcast all around the world, and watching his triumphant return to Japan on the news. This video kind of down plays it, but there were hundreds if not thousands to greet his return. Japan suffered a humiliating defeat and surrender: this gave them a little of the dignity back. This was a huge story back then.

    I also wanted to add that while in Brazil in 1980, he learned of a Japanese teen who had killed his parents. He moved back to Japan in 1984 and established the Onoda Shizen Juku which was a school for troubled youths. He also revisited Lubang in 1996 donating $10,000 to the local schools. He spent 3 months a year in a brazil and passed away from heart failure in Tokyo in 2014.

Its only fair we treat him the same as every soldier who fought in the war as he is not to blame for doing his job, war is hell but you can never blame the other side for something wrong because they too are human.

Honestly at first i felt bad to the people who died at the hands of Onoda, but as i learnt more about him, i began to understand that he was on strict orders to keep fighting, that is the fault of war, not the soldier.

We have become too subservient to the Japanese to the point where we allow one of them to murder our own and get away with it. Onoda murdered and killed those villagers with intent, collateral damage is something completely different. They are human yes but they also have a mind and must think for themselves and others.

      @@plzfixwolves955 Okay, imagine you are Hiroo Onoda, you have been trained to be skeptical to notes left behind by anybody suggesting that the war is over. Being a descendent of proud men who have given their lives for the country you were born in, and now its YOUR destiny to fight and die for the country. Every passing day more and more leaflets over the war is over are being dropped, but you remembering your training decide to ignore them. As the days pass by you get more tired and tired of your job, fighting a guerilla warfare against soldiers disguised in farmers clothing, you miss your family and hope the best for them. Your enthusiastic group of 4 has been whittled down to only one old and sad man, but he has to keep fighting on,because every ounce of him knows that this is his destiny.He carries out his missions such as raiding ricefields and harrasing the enemies, one day a man ventures into the jungle in search for you, you ambush him , he trips to a rock and reveals he has no correlation to the government and you slowly lower your weapon. The President of the country you have been terrorising has pardoned you for your act of bravery even if your were against his people, you feel ashamed and guilty like every other soldier but you are reminded that this was your job, you had no choice but to fight on. Others may criticise you for murder but deep down you are assured that you are not guilty because war is hell, it makes people do mistakes and everybody else knows that.

      In the 1970's, there was an episode of the "Six Million Dollar Man" that was roughly based on Onoda. In the fictionalized version, the Bionic Man, Steve Austin is on a secret mission to the Philippines where he comes across a Japanese Kamikazi pilot who failed to strike a ship, but survived his crash and spent the next 30 yrs as a guerrilla soldier in the Philippines. Steve Austin eventually convinces the pilot the war is over and he returns to Japan. A much later episode, the pilot and Steve Austin team up for a secret mission to somewhere in China...if I recall correctly.
