You do too my friend! indeed Yakuza and even Black rain capture some of the essence of samurai honour. as well as some parts of ghost dog of course.. but not quite.. that is all i am saying..
Indeed in Nagashino the ashigaru had changed into riflemen, and not to the liking of the mounted samurai who even if duelling would still revert to the sword...
Not untill the late 1790s the handguns came into use with the regular bushi.
before that the gun was still seen as a peasants weapon, without honour.
oh by the way... about longsword techniques...
watch this......
