Dude was a 6’6 giant man ! in them times as well Japanese men are tiny and we’re even smaller back then ! Could you imagine this dude rocking up on you when your probably about 5ft so it’s not hard to believe he slaughtered so many men 😅 insane !
Even in WW2 typical japanese man were really short compare to fellow asians, Southeast asians or atleast in Myanmar used to call them shorty jap as propaganda. 6'6 in ancient time was surely giant anywhere.
He most likely didn’t exist. He is only mentioned in myths and semi-legendary sources like the Heike Monogatari. On the other hand, his master Minamoto no Yoshitsune most definitely existed as he would play a major role in the Genpei war which led to the rise of the first ever Shogunate in history. With that said, even Yoshitsune’s feats are most likely exaggerated.
@@Shanaoh whatever dude sick of people like you all over CZcams thinking you know everything I’m going to go with official records, not some dude on the CZcams comments 🤦🏻♂️
I first read and heard these stories about Benkei and Yoshitsune when I was a small boy. Very vivid characters who stick with you, like King Alfred, King Arthur, Robert the Bruce and Robin Hood.
Benkei is depicted as being 6'2/188 cm or 6'6/201cm. Remember, he lived in the mid/late 1100s. Where the average samurai would have been a full foot/30cms shorter at the tallest most were likely shorter. The average japanese man TODAY is only 5'7/173 cm tall.
Love you’re channel and you’re voice is amazing ! Should try voice acting ! It’s great dude . Please if you see this could you cover some dynasty warriors characters or more samurai dudes this is great ! I beg you to do one on The mighty LuBu !!!! Please 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nioh 2 has similar fashion demon, perhaps a tribute to the original. Oh god it is a tribute because the game did end up having similar events where benki lost to a much smaller opponent then serving him till his last breath dying on a bridge.
Every human community have plenty of people who become real warriors if needed. The difference about the Japanese is how good they are good at telling the story of their warriors.
Benkei was my favourite in samurai warriors game guy was a beast , also fun fact yu gi oh made him into a card . They need to make a show about him anime or whatever dude got a crazy story as do all the great warriors from Japan do greatest skilled sword warriors to ever live .
Hmmmmmm, that monk sounds like the monk who collected swords in one piece who then fought zoro on a bridge just like in the story and lost and they became friends afterwards
Close to what happened to whitebeard, stayed back to let the other/s retreat, wasn't a bridge but there is a gap, took a lot of projectiles head on and died standing proud. Gurarararara
As time flies by, he fights with his lord Yoshitsune, King Leonidas, King Gilgamesh, Sir Galahad of the Round Table, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, Hassan I Sabbah, and Fuma Kotaro against Tiamat in ancient Mesopotamia
999 seems a convenient number. Who was keeping this record? 😂 probably beat a few, got his ass whooped when he went against a decent samurai. Then that samurai said “he’s enormous, send him out to soak up their arrows!” Still a unit though.
he probably counted the number of swords he took from the samurai. fun fact. Benkei used a 96kg spear during battle and that spear is preserved in Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
imagine dying to protect someone and they kill themselves immediately after
id make sure he doesent get to enjoy heaven
Yeah the whole idea of ritual seppuku is pretty dumb
@@theillegitking1304 The idea is if you're screwed anyway you don't want some random nobody to become famous as the guy who killed you.
It was the plan

Benkei is a G, they need to make an anime about his story
They did
czcams.com/video/LjUgz5FHR90/video.html
There's already something similar in an anime
Whitebeard?
@@l0remipsum991 anime called one piece
@@l0remipsum991 no it was an animal who ate a mythical human human fruit. Wano arc I think
It’s always that 0.01% that stops you from reaching your goal a lol
No comments leme fix that
By the way 35 like
Benkei is basically the Asian version of the Viking who held off the Saxons during the battle BEFORE THE HASTINGS THING
Least benkei didn’t get stabbed in his groin
True they don't make em like they used to
@@Bagman07or we don’t lie as much…
Love when videos still use historical pictures instead of ai,i love that

THE ONE PIECEEEEE!!! THE ONE PIECE IS REAALLLLLLL!!!
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER
So high
Oh oh oooh...oh oh oh ooohh...
He is Whitebeard in One Piece world
😂facts
there’s a character with benkeis inspiration in one piece in wano. he takes swords on a bridge from everyone
@@hsjsksf9531and he turns into a fox
Its not ‘Miyamoto’ its ‘Minamoto’. You are probably getting mixed up with Miyamoto Musashi.
An absolute legend. Endurance personified.
These stories should be made into a movie instead of the crap we have mow
there is series about kamakura shogunate (13 lords shogun)
taiga drama
Finally found inspiration behind whitebeard (one piece)
Life of Benkei, looks of Hulk Hogan
Personally, my most revered Japanese warrior.
Badass.
"The man who died standing"
One piece fans: "You mean whitebeard?"
So this is where they based the corrupted monk in sekiro
Finally someone that talk about it🗿
anyone that knows sonmething, knows that warrior monks where far more hardcore than samurais
Obviously. That insane discipline the monks develop helps a ton.
Didn't knew white beard was a samurai
Benkei is depicted as being 6'2/188 cm or 6'6/201cm. Remember, he lived in the mid/late 1100s. Where the average samurai would have been a full foot/30cms shorter at the tallest most were likely shorter.
The average japanese man TODAY is only 5'7/173 cm tall.
a reference to Whispered's first album, Thousand Swords
White beard energy 😤
I knew a Man who died Standing and his name is Whitebeard👨🏼🦳
Well, i know a monk who guarding 1000 swords..
Yep, a ton of inspiration by Japanese legends. Unsurprising really, considering author's country of origin.
found what I was looking for
What a legend
Love you’re channel and you’re voice is amazing ! Should try voice acting ! It’s great dude . Please if you see this could you cover some dynasty warriors characters or more samurai dudes this is great ! I beg you to do one on The mighty LuBu !!!! Please 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
noted 👊
Resurrection and judgment
This man is a legend
you can see his 96kg spear at Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto!
What a savage 🔥
Oh this is the guy in ONE PIECE who took zoro’s sisui sword he even looks the same
Miyamoto Clan 🎩
Nioh 2 has similar fashion demon, perhaps a tribute to the original. Oh god it is a tribute because the game did end up having similar events where benki lost to a much smaller opponent then serving him till his last breath dying on a bridge.
Baggio died standing
Another version of the Monkey King story. A wonderful and interesting version.
I studied shotokan karate 🥋 one thing I love about the Japanese people they are real warriors
Every human community have plenty of people who become real warriors if needed.
The difference about the Japanese is how good they are good at telling the story of their warriors.
Mystical Ninja ft. Goemon your welcome
Edward new gate 😂 oda u are smart
didnt know white beard is referrence to these guy
It also took a while for those same warriors to realize the big man was already dead.
This inspired genji dawn of the samurai and days of the blades
In one piece white beards death was similar to benkeis.
Also he sppears in the one piece anime😂
2 meters is still short
Benkei what is a Shinobi no mono. He defended his lord to the death I trusted sidekick, and every man should have a good friend like that.
WOAH, DAMN! idk what the hell you feeding him but he TOO DAMN BIG. ~James carter 1998

OG Whitebeard
It took a descendent of Miyamoto, Musashi to take down this man let that sink in
His story was featured in a detective conan episode
Cool story but very cap.
Whats the name of the music piece?
As a massive one piece fan people keep mentioning OP but this makes me think of Jet Li's hero.
They made a yugi oh card from this dude
Pretty sure a Spartan boy died standing "three speers and the boy of no more then 14 years died on his feet"
The real white beard
Lets not forget the fact that Minamoto managed to defeat him
OG Whitebeard.
Welcome to Nioh 2
In Japan, the story of the warrior Yoshitsune is a famous kabuki theater play. This kabuki theater play was playing during the Edo period.
Shin the part of the leg is called "the part you hit to make Benkei cry because of pain" in Japanese we say "Benkei no nakidokoro"
Big benkei for the pendulum plays!
Whats the song
Benkei was my favourite in samurai warriors game guy was a beast , also fun fact yu gi oh made him into a card . They need to make a show about him anime or whatever dude got a crazy story as do all the great warriors from Japan do greatest skilled sword warriors to ever live .
Jokes on you. Miyomoto musashi was greater.
@@squaretrianglez na
@@Jokesonyou123 Prove it. Benkei was just myth. Musashi has written record to prove it. He wrote books of five rings.
@@squaretrianglez i didn’t say musashi wasn’t really did I ? I have the book right next to me …
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai be like
He beat 999 Samurai Warriors, WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!
The spear that he used in battle is 96kg and is preserved in the Kiyomizu temple
Heh, I live right by this guy's grave. I'm hoping he shows up in the batch of nearly 1000 year old stories I'm translating.
Reminds me of latest wano arc in one piece, when Zorro fought the sword collector on the bridge
Samurai Female warriors Hester ❤
Ayo this Hanayama Tatoo story from Baki
Hmmmmmm, that monk sounds like the monk who collected swords in one piece who then fought zoro on a bridge just like in the story and lost and they became friends afterwards
Then killed 300 more warriors in combat , wow, A GREAT FILM CAN BE DONE HERE, WOW
Me: Mom I want Bankai
Mom: We have Bankai at home
Bankai at home:
Sounds like a tryhard move
I don't know about honor but that is impressive.
Man, this culture was riddled with honorable men. They died on that shit. Wish it was still prevalent in todays society.
So this was Shirohige's inspiration

The One Piece is real
Suigetsu but with kisames height.😂😂
Way stronger than Miyamoto Musashi
They lived in different times. Musashi would win though may be weaker by nrute force.
Nioh 2 dlc
Where are the 999 swords today who owns or possessed them
The one piece is real
Bro literally got a d*ck in his pfp 🤢
BASED.
In onepiece Wano arc i saw him😄, he take Zoro sword too
As time flies by, he fights with his lord Yoshitsune, King Leonidas, King Gilgamesh, Sir Galahad of the Round Table, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, Hassan I Sabbah, and Fuma Kotaro against Tiamat in ancient Mesopotamia
You forgot to mention sindbad the sailor and popeye the sailor
999 fights undefeated? Who is he fighting against? 4th graders?
Well Japan’s men are really small and we’re even smaller back in them times and the dude was a giant 6’6 my man . He was no joke ! 😂
