*Puts on sunglasses*
*Rolls a badass check*

The universe simultaneously explodes and implodes, causing the entire universe to be vaporised in a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a nanosecond. If you paid attention to the step right before the universe imploding, you would see a lone sunglasses-wearing swordsman execute a masterful 50-hit combo in a single second.

In the vast emptiness that follows, the last thing everyone hears is a yell of "FLAWLESS VICTORY!"

I CAN'T REBUILD THE WORLD IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ORIGINAL SPEED BACK SO STFU AND GET TO IT

Oooh, apparently body parts float in the air, too. I cut off a troll's leg, one arm, and the other arm's hand, before piercing it's heart, causing the troll to fly backward into a wall, while body parts went everywhere. Unfortunately, it didn't explode; that would have been epic.

The experiment was to leave 300 barrels of beer in an underground chamber so I could come back and line up the barrels in such a way that they would wipe out most of an elven forest retreat simultaneously. ;D

Booze doesn't explode. It boils harmlessly.

I like to think of it as exploding, OK? And the elf did get caught in a burst of boiling booze, or something like that. I don't know if it did any damage, though.

He's not a dwarf, he's an Epicman, who wields a katana and wears dark sunglasses. No armor or shields, though.

What? Just a little test monster I threw together for research.
Before it took over the world, of course. 8)

Just had a little test where I dove into the river with a carp. I leaped out of the water above its head, sliced it to smithereens, then plummeted back into the water to fight an alligator. Unfortunately, I became stunned, and the alligator got quite a bit of blood out of me before I killed it.

That's the thing; it makes expanding clouds when it boils, so people think it's exploding. The process itself is actually harmless.

It's sort of a myth that's gotten out of control in the community.

Oh, you don't know that Western culture likes to choke on whatever looks cool and isn't made by them?

So yeah, they love katanas.

Its a two-handed meat slicer that cuts through flesh and bone rather well due to its weight and draw angle.  However its quite useless against an armored foe, and exposes the wielder because the weapon is too heavy to use with a shield.

Good for killing peasants, worthless in battle.  Against an armored foe you'd do better with a claymore which cleaves instead of cuts (better yet take a spear and shield).

Samuri didn't carry a Yari with them because they wanted a walking stick.

Which is why I said that in the first place.



(So no, you can't slice through machine gun barrels and tree trunks with a katana.
Also, they're one-edged.
Also, they're extremely thick. And I mean very thick. About 1/4", and they're not tapered AFAIK because they're purely slicing weapons, not stabbing. That is to say, outrageously thick, because even 'primitive Viking swords [because we all know Viking swords are bullshit compared to the tank-filleting katana, right?]' are normally thinner at the base and taper to a point.)

TL;DR: Katana are bullshit.
