It's eerie they use to have tests for decapitated heads to see if they were taken from a living person or cut off a corpse, I wonder if it was just bullshit and they were going off accounts and just using a bluff (like their informants didn't see him take the head in a fight)
Would of been damn hard cutting off someones head in a battle like that, they would of had cannons,handgonnes,bows in addition to spear and sword men by the time photography was available.

Weeaboo means liking japanese shit, m8.

>>32500412
that's otaku you're thinking of

>>32500440
Nope, otaku means maniac, which means they can like anything just obsessively.

Weeaboo i.e. another name of wapanese means they exclusively like japanese shit.

>>32500412
Weeaboo means liking Japanese shit while not knowing a thing about Japan
It came to mean "Anime fan" after a while since everyone misused it liked a Leftist saying, "Literally"

The fuckers who adore Japan for Naruto but didn't even know they were enemies on WWII, or their role in WWI, or that a Russo-Japanese war happened, or where Yokohama is, or who Oda Nobunaga is, etc.

>>32500457
Stop inventing new definition, weeaboo was a wordfilter for wapanese.

>>32500404
Weeaboo has to do with being obsessed with Japanese culture and thinking that Japan is better then your home country despite knowing truly nothing about it.
It has noting to do with anime.

>>32500472
Since '07 and probably prior it's used on the fuckers who love Japan just for anime but don't know shit about Japan

>>32497616
Nigga that's TES.

>>32500490
That's a new definition that you are making of.
>>32500485
Yet another new definition, it literally means wapanese.

>>32500503
It's a definition more than 10 years old for an internet personality type, it isn't "new" you fucking weirdo.

>>32500503
wapanese being a derivative of wigger which means someone with a shallow appreciation of black culture ergo weeb means someone who knows nothing about japan aside from animes.

>>32500516
It's new, you fucking assfuck, who says word you don't know meaning of.

>>32500522
Wapanese means wannabe japanese, it's simply as that.

>>32500526
I say a word I've known the meaning of for the past 10 years you cock smoker

>>32500534
that's what i said ya moran

>>32500522
Btw, wigger means white who act like niggers.

>>32500535
Not really, you are inventing a new definition to cover your track.
>>32500537
Nope, this is what you said "weeb means someone who knows nothing about japan aside from animes."

Wapanese exist before anime exist.

>>32500503
>Yet another new definition
Are you fucking retarded?
This is what weeaboo has meant for years

>>32500547
What weeaboo meant for years was wapanese, not your retarded definition.

>>32500543
>Wapanese exist before anime exist.
akchually it was called japonisme.

>>32500562
Yes, Japanophile, which means the exact same thing as wapanese.

>>32500556
Weeaboo has nothing to do with anime you dumb nigger, stop reinventing shit just because you came here in '12.

>>32500567
Tell that to the retard who says weeaboo = anime fan or whatever retarded definition he's using.

>>32500574
My definition is here >>32500485
As you can clearly read, it never mentions anime whatsoever.
You called it "new" despite it being the base definition of the word since its existence.

>>32500404
So in short, you are a weeaboo, son.

>>32500586
Your definition is wrong too, weeaboo just means wapanese, which is another word for japanophile i.e. someone who is obsessed with jap shit.

>You called it "new" despite it being the base definition of the word since its existence.
Proof? Because that's not true.

>>32500595
>Your definition is wrong too
>another word for japanophile i.e. someone who is obsessed with jap shit.

>Weeaboo has to do with being obsessed with Japanese culture ....

What crack are you smoking

>>32500621
>and thinking that Japan is better then your home country despite knowing truly nothing about it.
This is the wrong part, my friend.

In fact, a lot of weeaboo actually live in Japan.

These guys were the reason samurai could survive multiple conflicts. If samurai were the only fighters in Japan, the wars would be much smaller and shorter

Such odd bows, but their asymmetrical shape made them easier to use on horseback - the short end moved over the top of the horse's neck and head easier than a longer bottom does

Pretty close, Blades armour is more Roman/Japanese. It draws a lot from Lorica segmentata.

>Is that the Daimyo getting up from his chair?

Yes, being attacked by another Daimyo.

>With the fan and still sheathed sword?
Yep. >>32503307's image is one of the battles of Kawanakajima. In one such battle, Uesugi Kenshin, the horsed guy, managed to charge Takeda Shingen's (the fan guy) camp and tried to personally kill him. Shingen used his warfan to parry Kenshin's strike, probably by reflex or something.

Both men survived to engage in battle in the exact same place a few times after that,
