The Mongols and an Animal Connection
The Beast Pirates are, of course, associated with the beasts of their Zoan fruit, giving individual pirates an animalistic aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Mongols were known to be intimately connected to their horses: training to ride them during childhood and taking several with them on campaign in case one fell. Horses also feature strongly in Mongolian mythology and folklore; there, soul is named the Wind Horse and is on the Mongolian Coat of Arms.
Official Mongolian Coat of Arms - God isnt that beautiful?
The degree to which Horses and Mongolians (in and out of warfare) are connected is similar to how close a Beast Pirate is to the animal in their fruit. This final quote really shows what I mean. Elizabeth Kimball Kendall, while travelling through Mongolia in 1911, observed that:
> To appreciate the Mongol you must see him on horseback,βand indeed you rarely see him otherwise, for he does not put foot to ground if he can help it. The Mongol without his pony is only half a Mongol, but with his pony he is as good as two men.
Genghis Khan and Kaido
Physical descriptions of Genghis Khan remind me a lot of Kaido too. Persian Chronicler Minhaj al-Siraj Juzjani described him as "a man of tall stature, of vigorous build, robust in body... with catsβ eyes, possessed of dedicated energy, discernment, genius, and understanding, awe-striking". The chinese envoy Zhao Hong described him as, "of tall and majestic stature...".
Immediately the repetition of his height and powerful build sounded like the almost 'majestic stature' of Kaido in his human form.
The interesting use of "dedicated energy" and description of him as "awe-striking" reminded me of Conquerors Haki.
The odd use of "cats eyes" struck me too. Cats have slitted eyes, as do Lizards, so this made me think of Kaido in his dragon form. Genghis Khan was also claimed to descend from the breeding of a wolf and an elk, emphasising his animalistic nature, like the Beast Pirates' zoans as a whole.
Khutulun and Yamato
A cousin of Kublai Khan, Kaidu, had a beloved daughter named Khutulun: a princess (like Oni Princess), a brilliant wrestler and described by Marco Polo as a great warrior. Immediately I thought of Kaido and Yamato. Furthermore, Khutulun declared that she would pick her husb

The mongols try a third invasion, this time they are lucky to have a good weather, and successfully conquer Japan, making it part of the empire.
In the 13th century, that being from 1274 and 1281 the Mongol Empire tried and unsuccessfully invaded the Japanese Island. China and Korea were both successfully invaded by Genghis Khan so why is it that Japan was able to withstand the Mongol invasion. The Japanese attribute their victories to the God of Wind which was most likely a typhoon, but surely if the strong Mongols were able to venture their ways west far into the Middle East, India and Europe they should be able to take and Island just a thousand miles away from their capital?
I've come across the few sources and have read these but I cannot wrap my head around how this could have happened. Could someone please explain to me in detail how this could occur.
As far as I could remember, I've been taught the Mongols were brutal conquerors who raped and pillaged. So, I am genuinely surprised when I heard complaints about the Mongols being celebrated and fawned over.
Of course, one man's hero is another man's terrorist. I am aware Mongolia celebrate Genghis Khan and the Mongols as a unifying force for obvious reasons. And China celebrate Genghis Khan's lineage as the Yuan dynasty. But countries who did not submit to the Mongols faced brutal termination. The infamous latter narrative is what I heard most of my life until, of course, I have done a bit more research and as it turned out it is not as black and white. The Mongols protected the Silk Route, respected religious diversity and was even gender egalitarian for the time.
Apparently though, the mainstream who aren't Chinese or Mongolians (mainly from the Internet as far as I'm aware) are starting to celebrate the Mongols, which annoys other folks who claim this is as bad as rehabilitating the Nazis. The same folks have told me as well that the Mongols aren't taught in their schools at all.
Therefore I think this begs the question, why is there a wide disparity on the perception about the Mongols in the mainstream? How are the Mongols taught in your country?
I have decided for a 1.32 to redo a wc from Oirat to Yuan to Mongol staying as a horde and I would like some tips.I did try in previous versions,especially in 1.31 but gave up because after the 1st war Ming exploded the statelets entered into coalitions and I couldn't expand.So i would like some helpfull tips..
Hello,
I want to do a Horde WC and I already did some Oirat runs in the past, that went pretty good. But i never changed my religion and especially now with the Monuments you can build, that seems more important.
What would be the best religion to get the best out of this run? And what idea groups would be really important?

Ok so i know that there was a lot of posts like that, but i managed to get the khaan achievement and i wonder if it would be possible to do wc? Started as oirat, killed ming then formed yuan I also managed to form mongol empire for the first time.
