Description
I just can't help but wonder what the honor-bound traditional samurai of feudal Japan would have thought about the predilection of modern Japan for the weird stuff they come up with.I think the reaction would be fairly similar to what is depicted here.
All credit for the japanese artwork goes to the original artists, and as soon as I can find a good Samurai "main character" that does not come from a reproduction or copywrite print, I plan on continuing the "Time of Samurai" theme. Any suggestions?

"Honor-bound"? Ha ha! Ohhh, my poor friend, have you been misled!
Bushido, or the "samurai code", is a historical construction--a myth put about by later Japanese historians to make the declining, corrupt upper classes look better. It's the same with chivalry in Europe: never existed, except as a PR stunt.
Don't worry, though, since a lot of people do think bushido and chivalry were actually practiced. I doubt most folks will notice.
... Now that I've publicly and unnecessarily ripped into you (oops ), I would like to say that I do find the comic hilarious.
It's a good piece, and you have a great sense of humor... it's just that I'm an obnoxious historian at heart

I've always said that Anime is more popular than god by nowadays standards.
my Uncle agrees with me. his motto is that the japanese have hijacked the minds of our youth.

This explains too much. It turns from samurai to Naruto. I dunno how it happened, but it happened. Oh well, at least some good things came out of it.

What you oughta do is have these two cryogenically frozen (or just time travel) into the modern day.
