Also there was a (mock I think, hopefully) fight between a Japanese guy with a katana and some euro dude with a foil type of sword and the katana guy got destroyed. I don’t know if the experiment was repeated. But it doesn’t surprise me.
The katana is pretty much the same, except being exotic (to europeans), and lighter, more nimble (boring, but apparently more efficient) swords ended up winning the market. Except in asia for some reason. Maybe tradition has a greater weight.
Oh no, all the weaboos clutching pearls!
Not my katana, the finest ever pointy thing…
