Seems like the pony tail helps keep their helmet in place and the shaved pate is a sign peace after their civil war.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Thanks! That's really interesting, I didn't expect that. The media probably throws that in cuz it is kinda the stereotypical hairstyle for old school samurai.
I’ll add that the shaved top of the head helped them stay cool in battle while wearing the aforementioned helmets.
The hairstyle is to make it easy for their helmets to stay on their heads
To quote Lil Sis: “It’s for decoration. That’s it, and that’s all.”
I don't know but this makes me want to play Ghost of Tsushima again
That game was so awesome. I never finished it though because it became quite tedious with taking out the Mongol camps. I really want a PC port though.
I have it on PS4 and I've been itching to replay it, but I've been (foolishly) waiting on a PC release to replay. At this point, I think I'm just gonna go for it and play on PS4 again, cause I don't think it's happening any time soon. lol
I started it a couple years ago, almost finished the first area, stopped, and now I'm replaying it. It's a great game, I think it's just best taken slow so it doesn't feel tedious
