He's from hundreds of years prior to all of this, but all this talk of amazing hats and distinctive armor reminds me of my favorite samurai, Takezaki Suenaga.

He commissioned a scroll of his deeds in the Mongol invasion that I read a translation of ages ago when I was taking some classes on Japanese history in college, and he's always stuck with me. The whole thing is about both his experiences in the Mongol Invasion, but also his attempts to actually get paid for his deeds by the Kamakura Bakufu, because he was too impetuous in battle and didn't wait for enough witnesses to mark his deeds directly.

He was eventually successful and got rewards and recognition, so good on you, crazy ancient samurai.

Genuinely badass but also hilariously relatable

I also choose to believe Matsunaga Hisahide was just an insanely stubborn rear end in a top hat who was really dedicated to maintaining his particular brand of rudeness and gave zero fucks, for good or ill. Well, mostly for ill, but this is true of many tea pot dictators.

I couldn't not mention him, he's way too fun and memorable. The update image was almost Kamen Rider Ghosts Benkei form because I knew almost no one would get it bit I got worried people might go check out Kamen Rider Ghost and haunt me for it.

would've been a crime more dire than tonfa

Wearing that to Sekigahara was one heck of a power move
