When knights became useless on European battlefields, their class faded into tournaments and titles. Japanese samurai, by contrast, endured for centuries as administrators, poets, and bureaucrats — even as gunpowder changed warfare. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore why. They examine the economic logic of European feudalism, where knights were expensive heavy cavalry whose role was replaced by pike-and-shot formations. In Japan, the daimyō system tied samurai to land and governance through the kokudaka rice economy. The talk covers the Battle of Nagashino (1575), where Oda Nobunaga's tanegashima guns mowed down Takeda cavalry — yet samurai didn't vanish. Instead, they adapted. Lucas discusses the sankin-kōtai system, the transformation of bushidō from battlefield code to administrative ethos, and the Meiji Restoration's final dissolution. Along the way, they touch on Arai Hakuseki's bureaucratic reforms, the curious case of William Adams (the English samurai), and why Japan's warrior class could read and write while Europe's often could not. #Samurai #Knights #FeudalJapan #FeudalEurope #Nagashino #OdaNobunaga #TokugawaIeyasu #Kokudaka #Tanegashima #Bushidō #SankinKōtai #AraiHakuseki #WilliamAdams #MeijiRestoration #PikeAndShot #History #FexingoHistory #WorldHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
