Samurai Equine 51,445 September 15, 2019 Share September 15, 2019 So imagine my surprise today when I found out that I've become a Knight of Rarity, even though I never asked to be knighted. Huh...

Samurai Equine 51,445 September 15, 2019 Share September 15, 2019 Just now, Lord Valtasar said: samurai were knights actually, they just had a different name for them in japan Yes, and no. The samurai class, while similar to the medieval knights, are different in many key ways besides the type of armor they wore. If anything, introducing the samurai class as "the knights of Japan" was just a way to convey what they were to people from western countries. It was a translation hazard. People from Japan don't usually consider Knights and Samurai to be the same thing. Anyone who does is the rare exception, not the rule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. However, the differences matter. And unless you can find any historians, especially any Japanese historians, that are willing to say that they are the same thing, then they aren't. And I've seen Japanese people who would be insulted if you implied otherwise to their face. Bushido =/= Chivalry. If you are the child of a samurai, then by law of the Japanese class system, you are obligated to become a samurai yourself. Knights do not follow the same logic; becoming a knight is always optional. Furthermore, the concept of Knights and Samurai are rooted in their country of origin (Europe and Japan). I'm not saying foreigners can't become samurai or knights; they have. But to say one is basically the same as the other is like saying a Japanese onigiri (rice ball) is the same a sandwich. It's not. The concept may be the same, but it's still different. And just to be clear, I'm not trying to shoot you down. I'm saying we can both be right about this. I avoided getting into the huge list of smaller differences because I don't think it matters as much as the major differences (and besides, that's what YouTube is for!). But also, I don't want to drag this conversation out much longer. This thread is for praising the fabulous Miss Rarity! So if you want to keep talking about the finer points of samurais vs knights, I have an open inbox for ya. ...And despite my bias, I am pretty sure Rarity would prefer knights anyways...
