And this is what happens when a masterfully crafted katana collides with a masterfully crafted longsword.
Suck it, katana
And that is what happens when a masterfully crafted scalpel collides with a masterfully crafted guillotine.
Does nobody understand that longswords and katanas are two different kinds of tool?Longswords are essentially sharpened fucksticks designed to destroy the shit out of anything resembling armor that comes their way. They shatter bone, jelly flesh, and essentially fuck people up by sheer inexorable force of being a goddamn sharp steel bar.
Katanas donât do that.Theyâre not meant to withstand collision with armor or a brick wall or a charging fully outfitted warhorsebecause the circumstances of its development didnât call for that. Itâs a precision instrument. Itâs designed to be lightweight, outmaneuver, and find weak spots, not go barreling into people hack-n-slashing your way to victory. Itâs a specialized tool.
In a sense this reflects a core difference between cultures; katanas are a shitton of work and preparation to make the execution as efficient and streamlined as possible, while longswords are more durably and simply made in response to a climate that would require a soldier to be a one-man battering ram in battle.
You slam any blade into any other blade and one of them is at least going to get chipped, because youâre NOT SUPPOSED TO FUCKING DO THAT.
Medieval European / Japanese sword-fighting manuals didnât have âNow Clang the Swords Together and Totally Ruin Them For No Good Reason Whatsoeverâ sections. That sword-clanging crap is from movies because you want to show a 2 minute dancey sword-fight and have to do something during that time, because in real sword fights itâs either over in 25 seconds with one guy on the ground, dead, or it goes on for 4 hours as two guys in armor wear themselves out, slamming the broad sides of the sword against the armor.
Swords arenât lightsabers.
This is like proving a Volkswagen Beetle is a âcrap carâ by running it into a bridge pylon at 85 mph. Itâs a pointless demonstration, because youâre not supposed to do that.
Neither one of these weapons was invented to cut another sword in half, Both were invented to cut a GUY in half. In slightly different ways, but still.
oh my god thank you
