@kyota.ko: Why Japanese superheroes take forever introducing themselves #samurai #powerrangers #japanesehistory #japan

Charlie :

So was japanese warfare just aura farming?

Jack Raven :

"I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and I have never known defeat."

de.gravitas :

So samurai were theater kids, got it

juanjimenez1892 :

“You survived an attack called the HEAVENLY WORLD SPLITTING SLASH AND TOOK HIM OUT! That’s sick! Here’s an extra 20 grand!”

The Daikahn :

Yelling your attack name makes it stronger!!

Assasainalex23 :

Kakuzu from Naruto makes so much more sense now

KALSKingdom 🕊️🧣 :

The accountant every time someone throws a decapitated head on their desk:

Neon Squirrel :

So this is why Goku takes 10 episodes to throw the Spirit Bomb 🤣

Offy_K57 :

This really scratches a decade old itch.. I used to go crazy wondering why they just don't attack without shouting 😂😂😂.. Thanks a lot for the info

Thami :

So couldn’t they just lie about the details to get a bigger check?

user 138/2.840/2 :

StarWarsPoncho :

Fun fact: the reason that anime characters shout out moves is because in manga, they don’t want to animate the whole move, so shouting it out allows them to only do it once, and then readers can just refer to that when that move happens in the future

Phil :

Reason #2036 why I couldn't be a fighter. I would never get any credit because id forget their names and backstory.

Veli Muhlarhi :

izithakazelo 😂

Ever :

Why did they get money for killing each other?

Yuto :

Sorry, Dude but why would you call the Power Rangers if you know they are super sentai

Luciana Garcia 🏳️‍⚧️🍉🇵🇷 :

And as the samurai introduce themselves, it gives everyone else a chance to bet on the outcome

tbailey264 :

Interesting point is, this sort of introduction isn’t restricted to Japanese culture. Beowulf, the oldest written text in the west, is full of “heroic boasts” that introduce characters in a long form like that

Thomas Villanueva :

did samurai have the equivalent of squires who could write this down?

Laundry basket :

And then there’s Eren.

MrBabyFace :

If you translate gang signs, we basically saying the same thing😂😂😂

Apologus :

I'm curious: was there any kind of system in place to prevent samurai from lying about who they killed? Or even exaggerating?

...Missingno :

So basically the samurai acted like 8yr olds during recess.

Dodol Garut :

born to be a theater kid, forcrd to born in the warring states period

Note :

was there flashy explosions behind them when they introduce themselves?😭
