>>53937043I don't know how accurate this is, but I heard that samurai, once your strip away the mysticism and reverence of the Japanese public conscious, were actually kind of shitty. Like, historically, they would stab their lords in the back if offered better money, land, etc.
Interestingly, ninja were historically loyal. And yet, people feel samurai are the honorable ones, and ninja are backstabbing, but it was the other way around.
