the fact they actually took the time to put out fires so they wouldn't cause damage to innocents is mind blowingly respectful.
There are 47 likes. No-one change this.
@General Grievous you should maybe read up on history ;) cause waht you said is preeeeeeeettty ignorant
@@KingJohnMichael No, he's absolutely correct, you try reading up on history, Unit 731 in particular.
To bad people today won't do that
@@KingJohnMichael As is what you said, bud ;).
There's something about stories of loyalty that are always touching.
@Bruce Cumming these days a lot of men have "honor" for their family or themselves. they hit women and kill because of an insult for that "honor". these days there is no loyalty to anything but themselves.
Welp I'm the 47th like, no more likes allowed
No you where not. So it has 2600 or something likes when you posted that 7 min ago.
I don't think it wen't from 47 to 2647 in 7 min. Or maby 8 if you where slow.
@@mattiasjonsson8809 not on the video you knuckle head. On this comment I WAS the 47th like. Why would I comment on some one else's comment about me being the 47th like on the video that clearly isn't even close to 40 likes any more lol
Berend Koops why bash on us males though?
Anyone ever tried to get 47 people (including yourself) to do one activity together? It’s next to impossible
That’s why one of them left, so only 46 had to.
Gary Owen reference lol
Which is why they failed
does "disliking me" count? then school.
Even in the Assassination of Julius Ceasar, a hundred plus men agreed to assassinate him but only 60 or less actually appeared.
Some added context: one of the major issues underlying the events is that the law at the time was kenka-ryouseibai: in the event of an altercation, both sides were punished, regardless of who started it. This is what the Ako ronin found so unjust: only Asano was punished. The two years between the attack and the vendetta were spent by former Ako officials appealing the decision and attempting to get some redress for the Asano family. Only when these efforts were exhausted did the vendetta go into action, as a last final protest of the injustice.
It should also be noted that the Shogunate officially sanctioned vendettas, and had a complex system for their approval. The Ako ronin’s vendetta didn’t actually apply (the ronin weren’t Asano’s direct family) but it provided a context and framework for their actions.
THX
Very interesting, thanks!
The reason only Asano was punish is because Kira did draw his weapon.
Literally anything happens

there is a small museum with monuments from that era, but you cant film in there as camera usage is forbidden.

Everyone knows that the Keanu Reeves movie is the most accurate telling of this story. 100% accurate, mostly using real footage from the time.
@Daniel Smith Did you see that flying over your head?
Including the robot samurai that Keanu faced during the tournament while incognito! Oh, and of course Shang Tsung was the Japanese Emperor at one point. I kept waiting for him to belt out: "Your souls are mine!" immediately after the collective Ronin finished seppuku. It would have made a better film.
@Daniel Smith So if he took the blue pill, 47 Ronin would've never been released? I don't know...it might not have been the best film, but at least it wasn't boring. Lol..
You must be referring to the japanese documentary that highlighted Keanu Reeves role in the event. Back in his younger days.
Human Male I was Gonna like your comment but I’m a just leave it at 47🥺
When he pronounces japanese words, he sounds like a japanese person imitating a english person saying japanese words very englishly.
For the same reason you say tortilla and not tor-tiLLa.

It's E-do. Not EE-do.
Yeah, not really, though. It's called sehpuku, not sepookoo.
I understood what you said, but it still made my brain hurt, lol
I really love it when people cover things I don't know about and things that are from other cultures.
If only school taught that.
or you know useful life skills like how to file taxes
What would it benift to learn such stuff at school? They already teach a enough useless and outdated things.
Edgy
What school doesn’t teach world history or sociology? Lol
@@jessehudgins6066 under privileged schools. Lots of public schools in America do not offer sociology as a course. That's more of a college course rather than a high school one.
This story is the proof of a true soilders bravery. Amazing. Wasnt dying in combat also part of Japanese Samurai ?
Fun fact: "Samurai" means "to serve"
When it comes to being a soldier, I'm a little more partial to Patton's, "the object is not to die for your country, but to make they other bastard die for his." It's interesting to keep in mind this mindset hyper-focused on honour was a product of a period of peace when they had soldiers who had not fought an actual war nor were likely to fight in a war. In earlier eras when they actually fought in wars and conflicts the mindset of a Samurai was far more pragmatic and practical, and less concerned with honour (although it was still important). They probably more resembled any other soldier in that respect.
Great stuff, many thanks. I can confirm that the story is still very important in Japan; my wife is Japanese and was taught it as she grew up.
The detail of the Samurai putting the lights out was interesting, because in Kyoto, fire was a read danger, so much so that if one of the nobility was in debt one way to deal with it was to threaten their neighbours with arson. According to Alex Kerr in his book "Lost Japan" the method was to go to their neighbours and creditors and say "Unfortunately I can't pay my debt and I can't stay here and face the shame of being a debtor. Therefore I have no choice but to set fire to my house tonight and escape into the night". This was a veiled threat because if one house caught fire the entire neighbourhood would go up in smoke, so the neighbours would have a collection to pay the debt and/or the creditors would write it off...
That is the most passive aggressive threat encompassing mass destruction I have ever heard of. Cunning, I suppose.
@REALDEALFU1 yo The impression I got was that it was generally accepted, almost formalised, and that a few months later one of the neighbours would do the same so our original fire-raiser would contribute to the debt relief. Japan can be funny like that.
A german married a japanese?
History: I dont like where this is going
@@zaidshah4535 Easy there tiger:
A Brit married a Japanese.
Then the UKgov said she couldn't have a visa. And the Japanese government said he couldn't, because neither governments like foreigners much.
Then the German government said "Hey, you're welcome here as an EU citizen as long as you have a job, and your wife is welcome here too".
Then the UK government said: "Okay we're changing the rules."
Then the German Government said "We can fast track German citizenship so you can have dual nationality"
And they lived happily ever after.
@@Korschtal I'm a little confused but I get the gist, good for you my man.

I read a graphic novelization of this legend several years ago, and just finished watching the 1941/1942 Japanese movie of the same story. It's a deeply moving tale, one of the most beautiful to come out of feudal Japan.
Is the graphic novel of the same name or called something else, I’m interested in reading it
Also. A work of fiction. Movies aren't documentaries. More people need to be aware of this....

@@NIkonEX- no its tom cruise... The last samurai. Duhhh
I'm always a bit awe by these stories of old times where people.. yeah went to assassinate their oponents, but also tried to be nice and courdial about it, treating the victim with respect, bowing down to them if that was proper and maybe even letting them do it themselves. It's still just an assassination, but it makes for a much more complling story/scene
I’ve learned more from Simon than from school 😭
My Comrade, it's not only you.
Simon Whistler is the best history teacher on CZcams right now.
You can thank the NEA for that.
Simon can never us teach how to pass standardized tests though...
self education is the best education
I understand how hard names are when you're talking about a language you don't speak. So, i'd just like to applaude you making such a good attempt. Even though I know they were off, not one name distracted me from your tale. Good work!
There arent many stories that i consider to be beautiful but the story of the 47 ronin is a genuinely beautiful tale.
True loyalty is hard to come across these days. I think that’s why such stories as these resonate with us so much.
Their willingness to die to keep their honor puts the disrespect towards Asano Naganori into perspective. He felt so disrespected that he had no choice but to try to kill him because simply accepting the insult to his name was deemed by him worse than death. His hand kinda got forced at this point.

Anyway great video, as always. Keep up the good work.
Some good names in there!
MAN! WHAT a story! I'm soooo glad I clicked on this out of sheer curiosity as wth any of the words in its title even meant.
Simon's Japanese is excellent, btw.
The USMC teaches us about Honor, Courage and Commitment and they're the core values which we instill in every Marine during boot camp via stories and historical examples of sacrifice for those ideals.
I gotta say though, this story is just a whole other level of the ethos.
Thanks so much for the education!
Truly a fascinating story.
I absolutely love this channel, not just the narration but also the choice of stories. keep up the good work.
i heard it said that Oishi cut off Kira's head with the very same tanto that his master used to disembowel himself. A TANTO! A FREAKING KNIFE!
I read somewhere that Kira was stabbed by the other attacker(s) with a spear or something. As Simon said, this incident has been glorified so much that we don't know what is true and what is fictional.
This has been one of the most interesting stories I have heard in a long time. Thank you very much for your research and putting this video together, super cool!
Learning more about the 47 Ronin... interesting. Listening to Simon say my name for 20 minutes and 46 seconds... Priceless
"babe you can't just act like a drunkard"
"I must avenge my master"
A truly beautiful story of loyalty and vengeful wrath
Just started binging geographics and biographics. I could listen to you talk about history for days. I love it. Thank you
Brah Simon doing video on 47 ronin while making 47 new channels. xD
Generally speaking. When I think of figures that deserved respect and were skilled in combat, I compare Samurai with being about the same level as Knights. Devout warriors with impressive abilities. When I first imagine the scenario happening here my initial reaction was "Oh. That's a fair few soldiers, but it's nothing that crazy.", and then the image popped into my head of 47 fully clad, armor wearing knights charging into an abode.
This episode brought to you by Simon's evil twin blowing off steam in front of a camera.
Just curious, what makes this the evil version?
@@leathery420 . Each set of twins has one evil and one good . Like yin and yang
I think it looks cringy, I mean he's obviously still reading a script and brings out a prepared prop they bought to accompany that "spontaneous silliness". I'm guessing they're just trying to appeal to crude business men and it seems incredibly forced.
You might notice that I'm referring to them as multiple people and not him and that's because this is obviously not a personal channel but a business creating channels they think might be profitable and it's most likely simply his job to be the one on camera, I would be surprised if he's the main dude running the show.
I like the biographics and geographics channels though because they're informal, so it doesn't mean it's necessarily bad that it's not a personal channel and obviously profit driven. But this comment makes me question if the person writing it and those liking it realises that Simon is an employee doing what he's told at a company that makes CZcams videos, while he's the face outward it's definitely different from someone like Pewdiepie or something.
@@DajuOnCZcams he is reading a script. he has someone named danny who writes them. its a lot less formal, he sometimes goes off script, just for it to be brought up later. he has an office, but as far as I'm aware, and as far as he makes it sound, he is the one running it. by the fact that you said "he's obviously still reading a script" clearly shows you've never actually seen a business blaze episode.
@@DajuOnCZcams Slaps script. Far as I know, Simon and Daven run the channels and hire writers, mainly Danny. Yes, it's a business, but most of the goofing about seems to be an honest liberty they take since they're running the show. Scripted but not calculated, I'd say.
I'm so impressed by the story telling here! You really do it justice. I appreciate all the historical and cultural context. The whole time I was listening I kept thinking: " THIS IS SO AWESOME" People will still be telling this story hundreds of years from now
Content, dedication, approach, delivery...🍻 love your vids
Excellent job on this
You weave a good yarn
Keep up the fantastic work
You’re gifted
Keep being you
The honor and loyalty in Japanese culture is fascinating.
Right?
What happened in their ancient history that brought that about?
@@robertpetty6630 Its Evolutionary Biological... Its very much the same way how all Cultures (bar a few) generally have the same Moral Codes.
Dont steal, dont lie, dont kill = Wow our Community is improving.
And that is how Morality began, good things improve the lives of those around you.
Bad things are that which harms those around you.
Each Culture usually has special ways of seeing this, but it is a Human Phenomenon.
@@MiraSubieGirl yea....got that
I’m wondering what specific set of events formed those specific set of morals. Those tales that were exclusively Japanese that stated self inflicted death was the answer. This is an Arthurian type legend or folklore that has been passed down, but it seems to be already an accepted practice. It had to start somewhere, that’s one hell of a thing for a person to do, to themselves no less. I want to know about how that came about.
@@robertpetty6630 I fear the truth is darker and sadder. All I read of the pre-Shogunate age is full of violence, treachery and naked ambition. That age collapsed and peace was enforced and the warrior caste of Japan was emasculated. Bushido was a later invention, from a time when nostalgia tinted the vision of the past. The Samurai clung to delusions even as their present became so miserable many were forced to become peasants just to eat. The 47 Ronin were a handful out of several hundred Asano retainers. They were so honored precisely because their loyalty was so rare. Also, the Japanese were NOT Christian, they saw death differently.
It’s funny how this story is regarded as a classic example of putting honor before reason, when the Ronin acted incredibly pragmatic to get their revenge and protected the lives of innocents while doing so
I love Business Blaze, along with this and other channels that Simon does. I am thrilled that he is sponsoring videos with another video channel. That means there is no long ad in the middle to skip (because I've heard it a hundred times and am sick of it) over!
I just love this channel. All of them, in fact. Fascinating history.
Hey man love all these biographies, I was thinking what about one on Rudolf Hess that could be interesting, keep up the awesome work
Amazing video! Almost as good as everything you do on Business Blaze!! Keep it up
One of the best so far. Thank you sir. Love you and love the Chanel’s. Keep up the great work!!!!
I hope you create a biograhic for Yukimura Sanada, one of the greatest samurai who ever lived and probably changed the course of Japanese history if he succesfully killed Ieyasu Tokugawa during the Seige of Osaka.
He didn't though. (I'm kind of fond of the Tokugawas lol)
Deniella Gervacio Yeah. Time was not on thier side. Tokugawa also knew that he was nearly beaten by Yukimura as there are stories that Ieyasu feared Yukimura's name until his death.
Let’s be real here lol, the toyotomi didn’t have a chance in that battle. It would literally take a miracle for Sanada to even come close to Tokugawa in that battle 😂
@@kittykattzee They could had won if the Toyotomi had time enough to rally and grab the chance Yuikimura made.
That might have been one of your most interesting stories yet. Well done, mate.
This was so well done. I have to watch it again. Amazing
Finally! Some quality and fascinating video on my CZcams recommendations. Thank you.
09:30 Simon, thanks for clearing that up! I always thought she never knew of his plan and that he left her broken hearted.
I recently read a comic version of this story drawn by Stan Sakai, the creator of Usagi Yojimbo. It was really good!
adritz400 Do it! It’s great!
Ok, I worked in Japan and have the name Stan. They claimed to have trouble pronouncing the name Stan, and suggested I call myself Stanu. My Japanese colleagues often anglicized their names when they came to work in Canada. When they said my name they would cover their faces politely and laugh. I never knew why. Now I hear that Sakai-san's first name was Stan, so I guess they can say Stan. Help?
ANYTHING with Usagi Yojimbo is excellent !
That Dark Horse miniseries is quite good.
Sakai you say
Hey Simon...just wanted to say...big fan of most of your channels.
Really nice to see the credits in the side slides now.👍
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing.
That was amazing thank you for sharing 💯👏 ⚔️
I got more information and entertainment from this episode than I did for that movie they made of them
Another Lost Alice the movie with Clive Owens is good. At its core it’s a pretty faithful telling of the story.
You get the feeling that Owens character really was a drunk. Sells his sword for a drink.
Akira Kurosawa’s movie is epic. But that’s to be expected.
This is a movie though
You're a super busy dude good stuff man love the hard work keep it up 💪👊👌
Thanks for another channel as I’m cutting the grass in the summer your in my ear all day!!
This has always been my 2nd favorite Ronin story; the story of Musashi being #1.
Revenge is often the most powerful motivation to ruin someone's life.
47
This was a very interesting video. Thank you for telling us all this story I'm glad I finally know what happened. Also I love it when you guys stray from the mainstream content and do historical events (Kinda like the Darien venture video a while back). Regardless of what videos you all choose to make thank for making them.
P.S. thanks so much for the accidental JoJo references
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this. Thanks.
Loved the movie. After watching it I had to research it to see how much was true but that was difficult. Either way it's a story of loyalty and knowing that you will die in doing so but loyalty is more important. Thanks Simon!
Ghost of Tsushima brought me here.
I thought ghost of Tsushima was during the 13th century which is 500 years before the 47 ronins time.
WolfDragon6000 I think he’s talking about ghost of Tsushima led him to start learning about Japanese history
Keanu Reeves 47 Ronin brought me here
raspberry sucks that makes sense
michael french for real? I though they got Robots riding on ponies shitting lucky charms during on that time.....

Thank you for providing content for me to watch. 🙏
That was a great take. As a child I watched The Samurai on tv. The tale is befitting of great Samurai. As a child all I wanted was to be a Samurai. :)
Those "exaggerations" are what make good stories, great stories... Reality can come up short.
Good stories deserve embellishment
This is the most badass story I've ever heard, thank you Simon!
I'm impressed by the amount and quality of your content. Very impressed indeed. 👍👍🇨🇦
Homie grinds harder than most youtubers I can think of. Seriously inspiring.
16:40 when I was living in Japan and my Nanny took me to her village and pointed out a man. She told me never bring shame to name of my family. Or shame to the face of your family. I saw this man about to commit Harakiri or Seppuku! I was 4 years old when I saw this. And I have never forgotten that moment. And seriously if I hadn't seen that and her words echoed in my ears and mind. I may have done stupid things. I never wanted to disappoint my parents. I hope that if anyone takes anything from my heartfelt comments take this. You have the choice to do right or wrong and if you're considering that, don't do wrong. Remember that there may be more than you who'd have to pay for your bad choices! May GOD BLESS you and may you always listen to the voice over your right shoulder telling you to do right!😇 Thanks again Simon for such a entertaining video.
Thats fascinating
@@Cletus_Johannes Thank you Youngling!
Did he die quickly or did it take a while, and was there a flood of blood? My friend got stabbed by a small folding knife in the leg and just that left a big puddle of blood on the floor, it coagulated fast and was more like pudding but I imagine disemboweling yourself would be a huge mess since all I ever see them put down is like a blanket or towel which isn't going to keep it from getting messy I assume.
Honestly I think if I had that experience it would only create some kind of resentment that would cause me to not care or do the complete opposite to attack the notion that if I did something thought as but I didn't necessarily see it that way or had no other option that I would have to offer my life to make amends for my family but really it's just for how everyone else and what opinions they have of you or your family. Its pride at its worse.
@@KennyKissKiss he was alive long enough to disembowel himself have you ever seen a rabbit being prepared? How the insides comes rushing out!
Your gonna end up having 100+ channels of every subject imaginable and I love it 👽
Thank you for this video! I just returned from Tokyo and the visit to Sengakuji Temple and pay rests at their graves was the highlight. Thank you for this story again!
This Simon dude would be an amazing fill-in for the Obi-Wan Kenobi voice actor
This is without doubt the most inspiring tale of devotion and honor that has ever been told.
A classic and well done Simon and Radu! Would you consider please doing a biographic on Tecumseh? Thank you!
I love Business Blaze‼ between the script slap-ASMR, extended rim shots, Simon's witty banter, Danny's incisive scripts, and Sam's hilarious editing, _The Black Angus and the Apple Wood Smoked Streaks of Bacon_ are a band of the decade ♥
There is something about honor in these stories that we don't see anymore in our day
👍 for the ad alone. Love The Blaze.
Loving your content. Fantastic stuff. Cheers!
Still one of the greatest tales of honoring a former master in Japanese history. A retelling of the tale was featured prominently in the Robert DeNiro movie "Ronin."
Yes. A fictionalised version where they don't point out the fact and the creative licence. It is important to remember movies aren't documentaries.
