As messed up as it is. He’s the most loyal human to ever live

this guy really didn’t even try to find out if the war was over yet. bro really said “the war isn’t over till i say it is”

Imagine playing Hide and Seek with your pals and you had no idea that it was over and then they all went back to their homes. You just sit there waiting patiently for the "it" to come around and look for you. I'm just happy his commanding officer was there to welcome him back home.

Hiroo Onoda may have been completely out of his mind, but you have to give it to the man for his dedication.

Dude you explain things better than any teacher

He stood his ground and held to the last order he was givien. He was a believer in personal Honour and it was still intact. Respect!

Hiroo Onoda is legendary in all of Asia. I remember learning about him in class as a real-life example of not only what propaganda can do to a person, but also the grit and tenacity that could result. He was a man who truly loved his country and believed in its mission. The fact that he was able to accept the war had ended at all is telling in how much of his mental faculties he retained during those decades of living in the jungle. Did he have moments of madness? Of course. Was he a mad man? No. Thank you for being so respectful in your telling of his story.

Damn his dedication is unbelievable

Whats evenly remarkable is the islanders, they have been living with their enemies in their backyard

I'm from Lubang island, and my grandpa told me that he is the one of the guys who hunt down this guy, he also told me that this guy's live in giant trees that they carve inside, robbing farms, and watching graduation at school while in the roof of the buildings.

I just want to say thank you for telling this story. When I first learned about it, it was featured on tv. I was like, "is this real?, How come nobody else in the world is telling this story?" I'm from the Philippines and finally someone on yt is retelling this incredible history/story ❤

I must admire his dedication. RIP, Brother.

He just slipped into crazy for 30 years.

What an incredible story! The dedication and resilience of Lieutenant Onoda are beyond admirable. Despite being cut off from the world for nearly three decades, he remained steadfast in his belief and commitment to his country. Truly a lesson in unwavering loyalty and perseverance.

I read Hiroo Onodas book; "Never surrender".

Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda's story was told to me by my grandpa who fought in the Pacific Theater against the Japanese. Onoda was born in the same year as my grandpa. After the end of WWII, there were MANY Japanese soldiers were still in the jungles of various islands to carry out ambushes. Most didn't last a few months: either killed or captured or surrendered, but grandpa told me about Onoda and how he was "still out there". He has a cave stocked with plenty of ammunition, food, equipment and all he needed to survive as long as the Japanese thought he would need (many of the ambush soldiers were tied or chained to their positions to keep them near their caves). This story about Onoda was something told around a campfire when on a fishing trip. Grandpa told of these guerrilla ambush fighters out in the jungles... and it was rumored ONE was still out there!

The loyalty and dedication this dude had to Japan is crazy if he was still alive today I wish I could meet him and hear some survival stories.

Haa! 1:40 I don't know why but these little kids running just made me smile. They're so cute, they look like tiny adults that were de-aged and now realize they get to live like children again. 😄👍

Always knew of the story, never the full details. Thanks!

At least there's still some loyalty in the world. This man is proof of said loyalty

These vids are so underrated, like bro explains better than my college professors

His journey is truly remarkable. Despite enduring such immense challenges, he managed to retain his sanity and resilience, never succumbing to the pressures or suggestions that might have led him astray. It's a testament to his inner strength and fortitude.

Thanks, I think that's the kind of story I needed to hear. It actually brought a tear to my eye and made me smile.

a story perfectly told and produced. thank you, BE AMAZED!

Man lived to 91 in spite of everything. A lot of folks didn't have living conditions these men had for so long and still die in their 60s and 70s, quite a few pass away even sooner.

On the one hand it's admirable that he was as dedicated as he was to his oath and duty. On the other hand it's a cautionary tale of how that level of indoctrination can lead to outright dismiss even the possibility of being wrong, the cause you're fighting for being over, etc.

They should have told them JAPAN WON the war.

He's a man of focus, commitment and sheer will

heart of a warrior , respect

Wow! A real soldier!!! This is loyalty and a true definition of discipline and determination.

Loyalty and dedication for his country js unmatched. This awesome legend made me tear up

i love your content BE AMAZED, your content is truely amazing

truely a remarkable man. to hold on to his faith in his country for so long is mind blowing

You can't find loyalty like that anywhere this days.salute

I never heard the full story til now. Thanks for the episode, i love your content.

I just realized something this amazing Hero died one day after I was born. I was born on 15th of January 2014

So loyal I wish more people were like him

I hope your UKposts career always continues to thrive; I’ve watched you since I was 12-13, and now I’m 20. I still watch you almost every night before bed as a routine :) keep it up ❤️ I love the content

Well done. I've seen this story on a few channels now, and this one is probably the best.

Dedication. I read the book about him several years ago. I gave it to a friend of mine, Doug Anthony who enlisted in the US Navy in 1940.

Love your video. Be Amazed and keep up the great work you are awesome

I really appreciated this video. It is the best one that I have seen made by you. Thank you

This man is truly legendary, and I personally believe the entire world his incredible life's story. It's tragic, but incredible. Definitely a remarkable man. My deepest condolences for those who died, war is an ugly thing.

Now that is an AMAZING story. I am AMAZED.

Oh he was crazy as crazy can be. I'm glad he was able to live some kind of a life after all of that though.

Great job Be a Amazed 😍 l have heard of this story but it's too broad, until this video, it's detailed, well edited and animated, and simple to understand, and the end its heart warming thanks again😆👍🏻❤

Incredible commitment to his country. Amazing man

Ive been subscribed since 2022, and the content is greater than ever

talk about a damn dedication

This is the best cover of this history that I heard many time. Thank you

A real soldier! Hell ya! Never abandon your post until properly relieved!

Humanity's most loyal soldier. 🔥🔥🔥

You have 12.3 million subs for a reason, brother.

i´m glad that they didnt treat him as a terrorist or war criminal. im glad that there was enough common sense to realize and accept that he wasnt knowingly committing acts of terrorism and that he legitimately thought that he was still at war. im also glad that he finally got to live a peaceful life. RIP Brother. much respect from a fellow Infantryman.

True dedication and loyalty this is to course that was lost many years ago The last Imperial Japanese soldier in history to stand for 29 years after the war and finally rest in peace

I don't know but I cried at the end watching this video. The life of a man... loyalty!

Soldier Team Fortress 2

And now we know the somewhat full extent of the mind of man and how far it will take a person or people when their beliefs are strong MULTIPLE DECADES well I believe he has the longest service record on the field all time ✊🏾🫣🙆🏾‍♂️💁🏾‍♂️

Amazing, had heard the story before, in fact I think I saw a movie about it, but the amount of detail in this video was awesome!

Congratulations, you just earned yourself a subscriber (:

I'm still subscribed because your content is amazing

Muto? MUTO?? * hears Godzilla charging beam *

I kinda wanna meet him if i can… bc his determination just amazes me

This is my favorite video so far.❤

Its cool to see your entertaning video make my day

I'm learning about ww1 right now and my history teacher said I hope none of you are German but I took it offensively beacuse i'm part German.I get to learn about ww2 next year.

Such an amazing story. I can't help feeling respect for him. Thad is some commitment!

Very admirable! Sadly such dedication is so terribly rare these days...

After returning to Japan, he was approached to write a book. A ghostwriter was hired, and during their collaboration, he confided that he was aware Japan had lost the war. It's rumored that he was responsible for the deaths of over 30 local individuals (After the war is over), prompting a pursuit by the authorities. This may explain his inability to return. Allegedly, the Japanese government had to provide financial assistance to the Philippines to facilitate his return to Japan and avoid murder charges.

Oh Wow, great story told by this channel, loved it

Such a dedicated loyal soldier

Be amazed you do an amazing voice over. Keep up, been watching since 2022

I already loved the video every second it goes. Currently i'm in the Philippines.

That’s a crazy story!!! So cool that something like that actually happened!

so much respect for him man. so loyal to his country and brave enough to starve himself on an island without much human interaction for 29 years. now THATS a good soldier.

This soldier is very amazing

all my respect go to that one officer and hes soilders

holy shit. what a story i was fully engaged and the 30 minute video went by so fast. soo good

As brainwashed as he may have been, nothing can instill that level of loyalty and dedication, that Man had true character worthy of admiration

blud realy said: "ITS NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN"

That's a real soldier right there I'll tell you what

Give some respect to this man This is what I call serious dedication🗿🗿

Mad respect that guy fought war and help kids for surviving and more

Cool, it's like learning history

Yes!!! Another story

I actually heard this story from my parents, I too live in the Philippines, hearing more of it really amazes me as there we're actually more to the story I was told.❤❤

I don't know who to be more impressed by. The army for searching for so long or his loyalty. Despite the unknowing acts of terrorism i see how he is called a war hero as it dives into his character more than his actions.

A true HERO IN MY EYES WITH honor and pride.

He got to be a Taurus?. We can be a little bit stubborn sometimes.

Bros getting in that dad lore, but ill give him to it, hes a legend among heroes ✊

the dude is the description of dedication.

Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi, a Japanese soldier who fought in World War II, was discovered in the jungles of Guam on January 24, 1972, 26 years after the war ended. Yokoi was one of the last three Japanese soldiers to be found after the war ended in 1945.

Hello wow you’re video are so amazing but 29 years is crazy even after World War II

I've heard the story before i just don't remember him having a partner. It explains how he avoided going totally mad for 29 years. He wasn't alone.

I read his book. Very inspiring story of dedication.

Meet The Soldier

I actually got a bit emotional at the end. Great Video

Most loyal dedicated soldier ever. Yes he may have been an enemy (I’m American) then but I kinda feel sorry for him to truly think all those years later the war was still raging on. I’m glad he found love and had a successful life in his later years
