Have you ever wonder why samurais don't use shields?
Well, here is minifigure Kenshin from samurai X explain why. :)
Enjoy!
A shield was
impractical for horseback fighting. Fighting on foot was for the low
classes of Japan, their force of ashigaru surrounded the samurai on foot. So basically, two handed spears and bows were hugely popular in Japan and hand held shields aren't particularly useful for archers and spearmen.

After several weeks in the Philippines, Magellan had converted as many
as 2,200 locals to Christianity, including Rajah Humabon of Cebu and
most leaders of the islands around Cebu. However, Lapulapu, the leader
of Mactan, resisted conversion. In order to gain the trust of Rajah
Humabon, Magellan sailed to Mactan with a small force on the morning of
27 April 1521. During the resulting battle against Lapulapu's troops,
Magellan was struck by a bamboo spear, and later surrounded and finished
off with other weapons.
Antonio Pigafetta and Ginรฉs de Mafra provided written documents of the
events culminating in Magellan's death:
When morning came forty-nine of us leaped into the water up to our
thighs, and walked through water for more than two crossbow flights
before we could reach the shore. The boats could not approach nearer
because of certain rocks in the water. The other eleven men remained
behind to guard the boats. When we reached land, those men had formed in
three divisions to the number of more than one thousand five hundred
persons. When they saw us, they charged down upon us with exceeding loud
cries ... The musketeers and crossbowmen shot from a distance for about
a half-hour, but uselessly; for the shots only passed through the
shields ... Recognizing the captain, so many turned upon him that they
knocked his helmet off his head twice ... An Indian hurled a bamboo
spear into the captain's face, but the latter immediately killed him
with his lance, which he left in the Indian's body. Then, trying to lay
hand on sword, he could draw it out but halfway, because he had been
wounded in the arm with a bamboo spear. When the natives saw that, they
all hurled themselves upon him. One of them wounded him on the left leg
with a large cutlass, which resembles a scimitar, only being larger.
That caused the captain to fall face downward, when immediately they
rushed upon him with iron and bamboo spears and with their cutlasses,
until they killed our mirror, our light, our comfort, and our true
guide.

Nothing of Magellan's body survived, that afternoon the grieving
rajah-king, hoping to recover his remains, offered Mactan's victorious
chief a handsome ransom of copper and iron for them but Datu Lapulapu
refused. He intended to keep the body as a war trophy. Since his wife
and child died in Seville before any member of the expedition could
return to Spain, it seemed that every evidence of Ferdinand Magellan's
existence had vanished from the earth.
