16th century Japanese warfare is superior to medieval warfare

Ninja It says clans developed different codes but only disgrace from those around them. Which means even though they were looked down upon they actually had a morale code based around zazenjutsu. This means they would never work for Europe or china or even Korea who was having troubles with money at that time anyway. They did swear fealty And acted in the way of samurai to their daimyo. Ikko ikki You have your text wrong the ikko ikki or ikki ikko were A mercinary type group the ikkï¿½ï¿½j ikki was the rebellion and where is your proof they weren't ronnin Unrest in Europe This isn't between 16th century Europe and Japan it is between medieval Europe and Japan which is 1100s to 1500s so all my points are valid and many of those were violent brutal slaughters which were worse than the Japanese rebellion of peasants and most lasted longer than a year. Knight vs samurai The samurai will knock down a knight whith such a kick if you do not believe go to your nearest karate or taijutsu class and ask the to show you the true power of gama style kicks. Pull a knife and stab him oh con you have much to learn the amount of time it would have taken to draw the knife and drop the swod the samurai would have killed the knight by then and you will probably say the knight would just bash the samurai with the hilt of his sword well the samrai could step sand sweep with the knight isn't hesitant the samurai utilizing the knights so called " immense" strength the samurai ads extra pier and drives the hilt of the knights own sword into his throat killing the knight. The samurai is faster and can pull his own tango knife as well and would stab the knight before he could lift his weapon. Longbowman What can 6000 Longbowman do to 30000 ikki ikko who were specifically trained to kill bowman and samurai archers and normal archers could rain arrows down with deadly force and accuracy on your pile ment and archers as they were dealing with other warriors such as the fearsome soehi. Even if there were men at arms they would be no match for any of the warriors I described your only equalizer would fall. Navy If that's the case than the navy is at a draw isn't it. The Japanese ships were smaller and faster which makes them a hard target to hit whereas the European warships were big and slow easy targets for the Japanese Calvary But not as fast as the Japanese Calvary and not as many due to the massive expense also they would be puffed and easily collapsible due to the heavy weight. Japanese had pikes as well which would destroy any horseman. The Japanese sohei would just tear any foreign unit to shreds. Heavy armour Exactly all of the wrestling and grappling were sports not martial arts the difference being rules wich make them entirely ineffective even mike Tyson said that the first thing he would do in a real fight is kick the shin and then take them while their down. The SAS, SBS and SEALs all use the same martial art called S. C. A. R. S( special combat aggressive respons system) which is a mixture of taijutsu, krav maga and brazilian jujitsu non are British and one is Japanese look It up if you want I am 100% right. Army size The groups the travelled in would be easy to pick of in a full scale attack bringing your army down to the same size as the Japanese by the time you get to the battle field. Weapon quality My opponent was wise to drop any rebuttal he hasn't denied that the Japanese would break the weapons of medieval Europe and just spouted information of no relevance to the argument. Training At the age of seven he would start building and then hormanship and then swordsmanship and then after all that archery you have just made my point stronger. While he may have started one he wouldn't start the other until basic skills in the other Allies By the time it took to organize an army of such size the Japanese Portuguese and Spanish would have already been marching on various points in Europe and left many men behind to defend their country as well. If you organize an army of such size it would take years to do so and it would leave the nation defencless while your trying to organize it so I win And the Mongolian and Chinese assassins were only trained in basics compared to ninja and would work purely for money so the Japanese would have some too. And who says chime would work for you Asia could just as well defend its Asian brother country. If you can put all the feuding of Europe asiide and combine forces so can Asia. Also you all would be killing each other over who would lead the army whereas Asia would Work together saying that they each controll their own armies but come together to discuss tactics and vote on the best tactic and then they could utilize each of their specialties unlike Europe which was all the same. Movement Japanese did the same and had quicker base set up and due to their zen belief of minimalism. Pikemen and halberders It wouldn't be just samurai facing them the variety of the Japanese warfare is almost never ending and the pikemen and halberders would have rows upon rows of enemies to face and we could just send in our pikemen to weaken them before breaking through and bringing it in close where they would be useless and our pikemen could discard their piles and draw their awards and then we win. Also your pikemen at completely unprotected from flanking and archers where we could draw you in range and out of range of your longbow men pluse the Japanese archers would fire and if fired upon had baricades and shields to protect themselves they also had swords of neccissery . Knights could be beaten by any of the Japanese warriors especially the sohei who would just tear the knights to shreds and then feed them to their dogs. Mercinaries didn't have more battle experience than Japanese warriors and if they are mercinaries than we can buy some to.
