It's a figure rather than an actual person wearing a helm but it's not that much out of the realm of possibility see >>1203
I'm guessing if it's based on a real kubuto then the real one doesn't show quite so much emotion, but who knows.
I've definitely seen both long rabbit ears and animal heads on them before.

I cannot decide if I like Chinese and Mongolian style armor or not.

>>1281
Actually the second one may be Tibetan. I'm honestly a little fuzzy where historical China, Tibet, and Mongolia all begin and end. I'd really like to know more.

>>1282
Isnt it the personal pimp armor of chinese emperor?

>>1307
The second one? I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what script is on the helmet. It's not Chinese.

>>1340
>This armor, undoubtedly for a high-ranking military official, is exhibited with an associated helmet decorated with applied gold ornaments. These include the Buddhist mantra Om mani padme hum in Lantsa characters, which were often used for sacred inscriptions and texts in Tibet, China, and other Buddhist countries.
>The armor and helmet are very similar to a set donated by the Qinglong emperor to a Tibetan monastery in 1757.
Its in Met museum apparently.

>>1341
Do they write anything about why the sword is hanging  backwards?

>>1342
Nope. I think it might have something to do with mongol horse meta, probably easier to hold it like that while riding when you also have bow, quiver and lance strapped to yourself.

Mirror mail is really nice. One of those says Ottoman but I generally think of it as being Indian or Nepalese or somewhere in that region. I think the Mongols used it too.

Kind of depends on which era of the Ottoman Empire. I buy that it could be from one of the eastern provinces.

Drifters is great too, it's from the same guy who wrote Hellsing. Nearly every character is a batshit-insane warmonger.

If its an elf, it is not rape.

>>1204
No wonder why they come up with some wacky shit like Chainsaw Man when you look at the fourth picture and remember this was very real and super serious and autistically honorable to wear.

General observation: most of these helmets could not allow their wearers through doors or corridors.

>most of these helmets could not allow their wearers through doors or corridors.
That's not really much of an issue given that a) these were helmets for elite samurai and b) how Japanese war was practiced. Additionally Nip castles were pretty minimalist anyway so there would be less clutter than you would expect. The internal doors and walls were largely paper too.

Ah yes the Japanese warrior monk. In Nioh 2 you briefly have one of these guys as an ally, only in this case he's wearing armor made of blue and white porcelain under his robes. Spoiler it's not actually armor, it's his body. He's a pot shard youkai called a Seto Taisho.
