7:22 would not say that traditional samurai armour became obsolete after the portuguese came with their armour since those kind of armour were never mass produced in japan in favor of japanese style. Moust of the nanban gusoku (evropean armours) were not really used in combat but rather seen as exotic or symbol of wealth. Japanese produced very resistant armours on their own after guns came to japan called Tameshi gusoku (bullet tested armour). But over all very well said and nice video. ; )

Nobunaga couldn't really use his three thousand arquebuses at Nagashino, the guns and gunpowder got wet because of bad weather. His forces used effectively only about five hundred during the battle itself.

Portuguese influence on armor was mostly anti-bullet, but thats Not making Yoroi obsolete against traditional melee weapons

Great history lesson. Was there also a name for Chinese swords? Cause I’ve notice from the live action Mulan movie, different details comparing them from Japanese and European swords 🗡.

This is amazing! Will you tell us about Sanada Yukimura? Or Date Masamune?

Thank you for the video but of this list the only 3 I do not like are the Kanabo, Naginata & Tanegashima. I don't like a couple others that are not on the list also

[cultivar]

The kanabo was hardly used at all. As most japanese were small

[ajaykrishnakakinada]

Bro can you make a video on hindu mythology

[mohamed-fbvt]

You forgot tetsubo and the nagamaki and nodashi a giant sword and pikes

[cultivar]

And no, the japanese style armor was still popular

[cultivar]

The naginata fell out of use around the middle of the sengoku period

Your tonto life was wrong. I don't remember the minimum but a time to maxes out at 11.11 inches at 12 in it is now considered a waukeshi
