Quoted By:
I was talking to a Japanese friend about Samurai, and they showed me that they just think of strong guys in kimono/hakama. They thought it was weird that the Western "samurai" were super-armored warriors exclusively.
It wasn't until they mentioned that I realized there really weren't that many "samurai" (as the West portrays them) in samurai things.
Ruroni Kenshin, Gintama, Basilisk, Samurai Champloo, Hakuouki, etc.
The only one I can think of is persona's Hakurou Musha
Anyways, can we take a more traditional Japanese approach to the bug samurai? Or at least have 2 designs for him? One Westernized (battle) and the other more Japanese (casual).
