Badass anime katana drawing10/2/2023 ![]() It's just that when Japanese people think "sword" they first think "katana", a and so they use those for the majority of situations where they want to portray "a sword" in anime. Also, there's a whole range of different European swords, each with its own advantages over the katana.ĭoes anime glorify katanas? No, I don't think so. Period.Īnyway, Katanas are no better or worse than European swords in general. The fact that you bring this video up as an argument clearly shows that you know nothing about swords. Then I woke up and remembered that katana is a pretty shitty sword usually made of metal called "tamahagane" which means pig iron.Īlthough they are designed for different types of situations and have different purposes. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.When the enemy saw how samurai draws his katana they immediately flew from the battlefield in a desperate hope to save their worthless lives. Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That’s right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. I’m pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind. I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that’s about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I’m sick of all this “Masterwork Bastard Sword” bullshit that’s going on right now.
