The top hat looking one is a confusian hat, they exhisted in China for over a thousand years, and in Korea for over half of that. I actually suspect the european top hat was modelled after this hat, as the top hat was well after established trade routes and british occupation of china.

A few would be hilarious, but yes, many of those would be frickin terrifying, especially with the full face mask and screaming their lungs out.

haha this is incredible, half of the lords must of been tripping balls ahaha but I can see where the far east design comes from for some armours. But one or two are kinda cool or bizarre but no so you laugh at them.

Well, at least the first one looks like it would be useful as some sort of tactical slingshot. Tie a rubber band between the horns, gather some rocks or small explosives for ammo, and have a servant stand behind you to load and fire it.

Just aim with your face, call the shot, and voila: you're raining hurt from across the battlefield with unique style.

It's DARTH, not Dark.
And that his helmet was based on samurai helmets was never a secret.
