And this is what happens when a masterfully crafted katana collides with a masterfully crafted longsword.
Suck it, katana
HAH!
suck my fuckin’ diiiick
Aren’t katanas and longswords made for different overall purposes tho
Katanas are slasher weapons made for cutting masterfully through human flesh so obviously it’s not gonna get through a fucking longsword which is really fucking thick and heavy and made for beating the shit out of people as well as hacking at armour
A katana would slice the shit out of you guys so idk what the fuck you’re so smug about^That.
A mere katana is no match for Valyrian steel
They are absolutely made for different purposes, but this gif is merely to shut up the few who thinks katanas are the epitome of swords to the point that they are elevated to an almost sacred level.
Even for different purposes, the katana was still pretty limited in its move set.Just to point out, that sword is over a flat surface, if the sword were the one this dude is using, I thing the results would be different, I see the katana bended, but did not break, while the sword got cut, another thing, the power of the sword means shit wheb its heavier than a katana, if a real figth takes place, I would bet my money on the katana for been lighter and fasterVIKING MASTER RACE
katana fukin weaboo shite
And the weaboos still don’t shut up.
A katana was never meant to go up against the resistances that many European weapons had to deal with. In Japan, deposits of iron were rare, and often of very poor quality. Most armor was made of cloth, leather, and very thin metal plates (think aluminum can thickness). Katanas were made light and sharp, because they had to cut through relatively light materials. In Europe, there’s a lot of very good iron, and armor developed into something much tougher as a result. And, because of that, weapons had to be stronger, and more durable. Long swords (as well as broad swords, bastard swords, arming swords, and great swords) were made thick and heavy, not only to hold up to striking solid metal, but also to add weight to the blows in order to get through tough armor.
A katana is quicker, granted. But it’s nearly useless against heavy armor. You’d destroy the blade before you made an impact. If a broad sword can’t cut through it, it’ll crush through it.
The argument that a katana doesn’t need to, cause it’ll just cut through unarmored flesh is mute at best. In Europe, you didn’t go into battle without some form of protection. Unless a samurai decided to pop out of the bushes to attack someone, they’re not going to get the chance to hit an unarmored opponent. A knight with a long sword, on the other hand, doesn’t worry about that, because he can get through most any other armor.
