The samurai were the bad guys in this movie

Filthy chinks are the bad guys in everything.

I wish it worked this way irl

Because death was literally the only way out. Samurai would never give up on tradition.

>samurai using 1600s gear to fight modern soldiers
This movie is kinda stupid. I mean, in the real rebellions they used modern weapons and shit. It's not like they were stuck in some technological bubble that they refused to burst. A lot even wore western clothes.

white men have a fetish for cucking the yellow man, meanwhile cry all day about being cucked by the black man.
who do black men get cucked by?

All of this applied to all of Japan during WW2. They're just autistic like that.

Is this the only samurai movies you dumb motherfuckers seen?

Spot on. The samurai were assholes that went extinct in real life because they were straight up obsolete and incompatible with modern life.
Seriously, they were dead weight even since the close of the Sengoku period, when various warlords had to make up bullshit bureaucratic positions to keep those meritocracy-hating welfare queens employed to justify paying their lazy asses.
Any attempt to preserve their way of life via revolt was a hopeless endeavor that was doomed to fail. Plus, by that time they were mostly cosplaying as competent warriors from centuries ago.
The Satsuma Rebellion might as well have been the NEET Rebellion.
Also their warrior code is the worst possible thing that could have been preserved into the 20th century.
If this movie were honest, it would've ended with a title card reading "60 Years Later" and showing the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Japan in WW2 was a hilarious trainwreck that wouldn't stop on giving, starting from the fact that just like Germany their planned short war turned into a protracted one that fundamentally fucked them up.
>admirals wouldn't report on the real situation accurately in order to save face >people were under the impression Japan was winning until literally last six months or so >actually competent people forced to commit suicide for shit like withdrawing from a hopeless battle to save their men
Seriously, just look it up. That's without thinking about how they whipped their people into frenzy by saying invading gaijin would massacre them all so it was to be a fight to the last civilians.

Maybe Asians?

Asians are blacks but successful basically.

who was japan's rommel?

Ironically most of your post was Allied propaganda played up to justify the use of firebombing and eventually nukes on civilian targets, mostly based on what happened on Okinawa.
The average main island Jap really had no intention of throwing themselves at the enemy since they were mostly women and children. And even those people committed suicide rather than charge the invading Americans.
They took part in morale parades but that was about it.
Gavin Walker
SaigÅ Takamori, the person Katsumoto is based on, wasn't actually fully opposed to the modernization of Japan, particularly the military and he often wore a western styled uniform. Katsumoto's "dishonorable to use guns" shtick is one the most retarded things about the character.

Their ambitions in China weren't too farfetched but they simply didn't have the manufacturing power to support their other plans.
>still widespread use of horse and cart to transport machinery and equipment >declare war on Britain and the USA in the same fucking day, two of the most powerful nations on the planet >have a pretty large navy but absolutely no way to keep up with losses
They were doomed from the start. When the Americans or the British lost ships or planes they could soon be replaced, Japan's infastructure was practically wrecked immediately

Japan would have forced the U.S into concessions if they didn't lose at Midway by pure luck on the U.S' part
Hunter Sanchez
>pure luck The us did get lucky when the lost bomber squadron found the carriers but the "lucky american win" at midway is a meme. Japanese codes were hacked, it was a trap from the start
Isaac Cooper
Phasing out of old military castes caused upheavals and riots all around the world throughout history. Ottomans and Janissary, Japan and Samurai, Teutonic Knights etc. Modern, more national armies meant that they couldn't exist anymore, which is basically the equivalent of factory workers losing their jobs because their jobs can be filled with automation now. Their rebellion came from losing, but a desperate position. Kinda sad when you empathize with them, but ultimately inevitable.
