Sakoku in Japan started in the 1630s where basically no one was allowed to leave (and anyone coming back, even if Japanese blown of course in a boat or something, could be put to death).
After some poking around, it seems like some Japanese were in New Spain in 1613-1614, but I can’t find anything about mercenaries/guards (especially not large numbers of them). Is there a source?
You make some interesting points, but I choose to believe a random screen shot.
Until the 1630s, it’s not impossible for that group to exist; that part is fine (though I should also fact-check the katana part since, for a long time, it was bows and maybe even guns by that point).
I was listening to public radio in new Mexico and they had a segment on how people used specific animal names in the new world to signal back to kin in the old world which regions and families they were from.
Not the weirdest DnD party I’ve ever seen.
Not by a long shot. This is pretty tame. I’d go to Mexico for a long weekend just to party with these guys.
They all live together in an apartment, with Tiffany from across the hall.
This is the kind of things I wish I was taught in school
Anyone know where I can read more about this old Chinatown in CDMX? I can’t seem to find non meme posts about it
Wikipedia lists the earliest known Chinese immigration to Mexico as 1635 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_immigration_to_Mexico), which is a liiiiitle bit more than 10 years after the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_conquest_of_the_Aztec_Empire)
You can’t because it is not true. Most of the other post aren’t either. Both posts are great examples of what happens when people learn all their history from internet shitposts and youtube videos.
And filmmakers still chose to do reruns and sequels.
And a pirate.
That is actually pretty close to Jacks gang in Neil Stevenson baroque series (bonanza)
That would be one hell of a D&D campaign.
I had to read that four times to realize it didn’t spell “technotitan.”
I’m an idiot.
My favorite part of the original Dracula is that there is a literal rootin-tootin’ yee-haw cowboy in it.
The original Dracula is so good and the characters are so damn funny. You have the hero polycule consisting of a cowboy, a love stuck himbo, an autistic woman who’s special interest is trains, a romantic goth, a rich guy with a pack of corgis, an obsessive gadget guy and their adoptive eccentric uncle fighting against a man with a traditional harem he can’t keep happy and who spends half his time pretending to be his own servant to keep up appearances.
This 100% sounds like the next big Manga that gets turned into a 4-season anime
Why does everything have to be a manga or an anime?
It’s the Carcinisation of art.
Because everything seems to eventually be turned into a manga or anime.
