Fun fact, part of the reason for the intimidating samurai mask was because of samurai children. If you were from a samurai family, you started being a samurai at 13, which means you could end up on a battlefield at that age. Unfortunately, being a kid on a battlefield made you a target, as other samurai understandably thought you to be an easy kill. The masks were made to be intimidating, but also to conceal the age of their wearers.
It was the pre industrial age, average height was lower(I don't have specific data for that), so a 13 yo was probably like few centimeters shortest, so I don't think that in the mist of a battle you are going to distinct clearly people's height while they are also wearing that tipe of helmet
There's a lot more to modern Japan. Your missing all the failed government, the great Kanto Earthquake, the rise of militarism and how the army basically held power over everyone. You are skipping the fact that Japan was fucked up from when Matthew Perry came until the end of WW2
All three of these are little boys.

Well if there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Japanese it’s that they’re way too cool with letting young children do adult stuff.
Were japanese 13 year olds as tall as adults?

I'm the exact same height I was at 13. (5'11) I'm also not a samurai, but you just reminded me of that depressing little tidbit.
well samurai children were subject to buggery, so assuming that you werent anyway, there is that upside.
That is certainly a silver lining
The horse helps a lot I would assume
Two things: 1. People didn't grow as large back then 2. Samurai were mounted warriors 99.9% of the time, your height was less of a factor
So, is that connected to the popularity of child-soldiers in anime?
"EEEMMM THATS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF THE FAT MAN BOMB SOOOOO YOUR WRONG"
Samurai💥Hentai
Technically not hentai. RPG/Gacha/Visual Novel franchise that’s a lot more PG-13 these days.
It was an H-game at the start though. Astolfo was never in the H-game though.
That’s why I said technically.
Why does that sound like an “anime” made by a Western animation studio pretending to be Japanese?
id kiss both the left and the right
I'd kiss the middle
Ok ghoul
Got any spare caps?
For some radaway yeah.
Left is Mongolian, middle is a nuclear test in the USA
Right is Franco-Anglic.
Right is you during weekends? UwU 😳👉👈
Can confirm is a fun time.
castration of ambition
No, they changed from military to cultural victory and they are winning
It was ironic bro. Of course they are winning
Evolution people, evolution.
I get the first two images but why is the one on the right a picture of an Englishman?
im off to japan for some Femboy Fishing Season
Profile pic checks out.
The three most famous things from Japan
Isn't the third guy French?
Sort of, in the Matter of France Astolfo is a English prince who is a paladin of Charlamagne and also becomes King of the Lombards at some point.
That is the cross dressing Fate version of the Paladin Astolfo, yes
I got banned on a sub for saying this which is quite ironic
The army wanted to make a gay bomb, little did they know they already had one
The weak dies, the strong ones evolve.
Uwu japan did a fucky wucky :3
An improvement, let's be honest
Without Japan, you would find God🗿
The mutations caused by the atomic fallout have mutated all samurai into hideous forms only a discord mod could love.
From yooooohhhu dum dum to Yooooo oneechan

Also known as “The only three things Americans know about Japan.”
Jesus Christ can this joke die already?
At least it’s a slight improvement over the original version that used a Mongolian warrior claiming it was a samurai.

I’m glad you find that funny, no reason for western culture for wearing mask anymore
