If I'm not mistaken. The time period which ghost of tsushima takes place. Ronin were more peasants who fled their masters lands not really a samurai without a master. Given I love the idea of masterless samurai.
Many ronins ended up in Siam(now Thailand) and fought under the king. One notable ronin was named Yamada Nagamasa the samurai of ayuthaya who later became the governer of Nakhon Sri Thammarat. There is a statue of him there and also in Ayuthaya

Nice Sir. Best Regard from me. I live about 4 month at Japan . Meet by accidently with The Simple Man, and then I Call Him Master. Learning about life and survival with Him. This channel about Ronin, make me remember him and miss him. Now I live at Indonesia. My country. But his knowledge still with me. 🙏🙏🙏
A rōnin (浪人, "drifter" or "wanderer")[1][2] was a samurai without a lord or master during the feudal period (1185-1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless upon the death of his master or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.[3][4] In modern Japanese usage, usually the term is used to describe a salaryman who is unemployed or a secondary school graduate who has not yet been admitted to university.[5][6] *-The American Oxford Dictionary*
I've always admired the Japanese because of this willingness they have , they would always take their own lives instead of being killed by their enemies if possible , they are indeed badasses! Just saying PS: I'm not sure if they still have this 'willingness' but whatevs
Norse Viking warriors had the same mentality. When they got older, they tried to die in a battle even if they knew they had no chance of winning because they believed being killed in a battle was more honorable than dying of sickness.
Not to out myself as the nerd in this comments section, but all of you on the Ghost of Tsushima hype train need to get on my level. Samurai history and lore was always cool. That said though, I'm glad the game has brought in some new interest.
Possible to become a good swordsman without a teacher. You’d have to spar a lot and learn the basics from observation or books. Western Fencing is moving forwards backwards and parry and reposting. And the lunge. Getting good would be hard af though and I don’t know anyone who can but swords is not like grappling simpler but very athletic and tactical at the same time like compound attacks.
My first exposure to the story came from my old high school, in the form of a graphic novel. It was surprisingly faithful to many other versions of the story I’ve heard later on. I wish I owned a copy now.
Ghost of Tsushima brought us all here. Other comments: some of the artwork are gorgeous. But the lack of reference and credit for the artists is a disservice to the great unknown artists who made it. Another issue I have with this is the mismatch of Art. Some of the Ronin in the video like 1:38 appear Western. Japanese do not have facial hair this full and thick (unless they have mixed blood with Westerns). They simply have different facial hair textures.
Bro it was a disservice the video wasn’t about the art at all and he got the photos for more of an effect and what if those Ronin in the picture was the mixed blood you was talking about?
It’s so cringeworthy how every time I watch a vid about samurai I have to see ghost of Tsushima always in comment section no one gave a danm about samurai now everyone wants to talk about them onimusha series is better samurai game but no one cared about that in early 2000 cause everyone just played gta
Sorry all, but Jin in Ghost of Tsushima isn’t ronin. Only after the main story does he become ronin Edit: yknow, not even ronin. Ronin were masterless Samurai, and he was outcasted from them, so really he’s just the ghost.
Not here because Ghost of Tsushima but because I'm a big fan of Miyamoto Musashi and Samurais and the Edo/Sengoku period history. The reccomedation must be because I have watch many Samurai videos.
I like how the ghost of Tsushima got my timeline flooded with history and I’m loving it
Same. Subbed to 4 history channels and went as far as learning about the entire ottoman history and ancient europe. Games thought me waaaay more than school ever has
I think it’s great when games can draw people’s attention into wanting to learn about certain topics.
Haha I just started playing and can’t get enough of the history. (And what a great game)
The same reason im hrre

Zak O. Yes
Lol I got recommended

So the Ronin challenged famous swordsmen in order to gain fame? That's really interesting. Musashi Miyamoto was probably having none of that.
Do you mean the Musashi Miyamoto who at one time was a ronin?

I remember the 47 Ronin movie of Keanu Reeves, it's a great movie.
I agree
Yeah no
Ronin that either lost their lord or their sons... they like dishonour discharged worker... you just can not trust them...
no it’s not
Now i knew why they call zoro "One eye ronin"

Ronin ARE still samurai. They’re just not gainfully employed by a daimyo (lord) for certain reasons.
I think it would be more accurate to say that they are still A WARRIOR
“Samurai” means one who serves. A ronin answering to no one serves himself and those he picks to assist.
Or exiles

I love the art in the episodes of this channel.

Now this video got me interested in watching movies, tv series and even playing video games that adapted feudal japan in its story.
I still have to read Frank Miller's Ronin comics, though.
I have big respect for the Ronin they are awesome
Reminds me of veterans coming back presentday like Vietnam veterans
Cool!
Where did you get the wallpaper at the end of the video from? Tell me and Ill sub
Where did you find all this beautiful art?
great video thanks
If its okay I would like to request something
could you make a video about Artemis and Orion love story
Keep it up!
j.k.simmons : FASTER !!!!
(you got the reference right ?)
in my opnion, low class samurai & ronin have more clever. they continue for being farmer, and gain for own wealth
Of course what benefit to harakiri, there is much more potential to do if you still alive
I think some of the big Japanese companies or Daibatsu in present day were started by low class samurai or "merchant samurai" class
you can not own a land back then... only lord allow people to work on farm...

Just saying
PS: I'm not sure if they still have this 'willingness' but whatevs
Aychaz YT LOL they are totally different today compared to even 200yrs ago when the last samurai still existed.
Bushido is why suicide is such a problem in japan and for you to glorify that sick and outdated practice is disgusting.
Wow just wow idk if only me but i like alot japanese culture and i wanna see more about the japanese culture
Why is it whenever honor is involved people gotta die?
Norse Viking warriors had the same mentality. When they got older, they tried to die in a battle even if they knew they had no chance of winning because they believed being killed in a battle was more honorable than dying of sickness.
their way of control the weaponised people....

sounds like a perfect set up for some edgy badass anime
Two events of the Samurai’s varied history have been made into games. The notable mentions among them being Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima.
Ghost of Tsushima brought me here
and because of that i've been more invested into the mongol history and the samurai what a game it was

John Wick is one of the 47 Ronin
i see a lot of Lord Kiras in the world and no avengefull ronins.
Were ronin allowed to wear their old samurai armor?
what happened to Yasuo?
my name is Ronin! This was a very interesting video, pretty cool to learn more about the history of my name
Not here because Ghost of Tsushima but because I'm a big fan of Miyamoto Musashi and Samurais and the Edo/Sengoku period history. The reccomedation must be because I have watch many Samurai videos.
Would some of those movies happen to feature the actor named Toshiro Mifune.
those ronin become yakuza...... 😗
So Kenshin Himura from Rorouni Kenshin was actually a Ronin from the start?
The Samurai's unemployed younger brother.
yeah something like that since their child would be a ronin if they dont get a job....
The Edo period was crawling with them.
Sounds like when u get out the military in this time
In 1:16 it looks like gerlalt but with black hair and hes Japanese
832 mori-choshu\ mibu-roshi, mibu of ronin samurai torupa for hire
So that's why Hawkeye choose the name Ronin
The Samurai basically turned into Shinobai.
Shinobi are a different type of historical warrior. Might even be a stretch to call them warriors at all.
it remind me ryuzo
If you want to know more about the 47 Ronin, watch the Movie “47 Ronin”
No watch the movie “THE 47 ronin”
I'm looking for Ryuzo
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut brought me here..... 🤺🤺🤺
I thought it would be Musashi Miyamoto
Sounds a lot like a witcher, maybe the author was slightly inspired by the ronin lifestyle?
Could nekomata wild a katana or a nodachi because that would be cool
Maybe, maybe not. I’m sure this guy has other videos based on Yokai.
Can you do the bible's armageddon
I recommend you guys to watch 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves. This is the story.
If you want a fantasy action movie.
it's always do or die but never question why!

So Jin is now basically a Ronin
yes
