    I always thought it would suck to be the guy that practiced his entire life. Gets sick on his first campaign and is just lucid enough to see their side lose the fight and the enemy come to execute them.

    Pretty sure the samurai were so much into the idea of beating their neighbors that they immediately jumped onto guns almost immediately after the first few got shipped from Europe.

    Only just a little ironic that the Israeli Flag anon writes a short fiction of an arrogant upper class getting their comeuppance.

      The user can manually set the flag to whatever they want… Most people use the jolly Roger pirate flag if they’re gonna bother setting the flag though.

    I thought that all that pride in their Katanas was invented and revisionistic after gunpowder came to Japan and they actually took way more pride in their skills with a bow.

    If you bragged about your skills with a Katana in feudal Japan, you kind of admitted that your archery skills are shit.
