If you think that Samurai rolled around in Hakamas, you're mistaken. This is full of war experiences with disease and footmen life. Taking heads was a priority and Wakizashis were utility knives. The timeline of these stories takes place during Oda Nobunaga's life and war time in Japan. Once stuck in a castle, guys had to sell arms and armor for food. Samurai, in their unique armor, could be detained and beheaded for not wearing a ally symbol before getting to the battlefield. Bags of noses didn't count, because no one could tell if they were civilians or allies. War was about Samurai servants and spears, not slow swordsmanship. This is an informative eye opener for any Samurai fan. Samurai could care less about respect. They only cared about their own necks and looking good.
