Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Samurai was not a job it was a caste. One could be born a samurai or one could become a samurai as it wasn't a rigid caste system.

To be born a samurai you had to have a samurai mother. So yes, half of the samurai were women.

When Samurai women fought they usually used a naganata*. This BTW is why XI's samurai are the second best polearm user in the game.

Not all samurai were warriors**. All Samurai were expected to fight if needed.

*Naginatajutsu is a women's sport in Japan today. They are often matched against kendoka. One year for Seattle's Bon Odori a naginatajutsu team was brought over to demonstrate the sport and its traditions. Matches were fought between themselevs and also against Seattle kendoka who had never fought against naginata. The results were predictable.

**Some samurai were accountants. Personally I have a hard time picturing a samurai accountant.

Paged!!!

Samurai aren't like knights. Knight is a title. Bushido is a way of life.

Wives of samurai are samurai. Daughters of samurai are samurai. Everyone in the village is samurai.

"rage bait"

When women fought or if women had to fight?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think women were on the front lines of any battles.

Did you even read the article you posted? Or just channeling your inner RA again?


There was no fighting after 1615. Literally, no more battles. Tokugawa won and ushered in 200+ years of peace until the Bakamatsu in the mid 19th century.

Thats a conspiracy.

From the article I linked

When people think of Samurai, when you ask someone to describe Samurai, what do you think their first thought would be:

A- Katana and/or bow wielding soldier on horseback with large plated armor and a huge helmet with that hair thingy up top. The pre-1615 Samurai

B- Kimono wearing paper pusher accountant. The era of peace Samurai.


Its A. You know its A. Chanti knows its A. Everyone with an IQ over 80 knows its A. And to suggest that half of those people were women is a bold faced lie and you know it.

I think it is B

Everyones up in arms over me, yet no ones saying anything to Panta despite him confirming what I said about what everyones first impression when they think of "Samurai".


Better go delete that last page, liar liar pants on fire.

Keep flailing around for all of our entertainment as you take another loss. They seem to be endless. Probably too much Twitter and Reddit.

Dont be salty

lol the guy who cried "das a conspiracy" over and over still thinks Reddit is right-coded.

Speaking of twitter, I think I found one of Viciouss's accounts.

/yawn. Surrender accepted. Feel free to not try again.

Women samurai fought in castle defense which includes fighting outside the castle. I believe that in other battles they were as scarce as hen's teeth. I may be wrong.

That first thought is wrong. Most Samurai were elite foot soldiers. In that role they also used naganata.

I really like samurai movies. They are however as good at showing real samurai life as American westerns are at showing the actual American west.

When someone say "samurai", this is the first kind of person that comes into my mind:

But thats what I was saying. Theres a diference between storming the gates and protecting the gates.

Fellas, is this AI slop or another conspiracy theory?
