A regular Ogami Itto! The stuff from which great manga are made!
DR: The sword saint must be turning over in his grave.
At the end the host is actually touching the blade with his bare hands...ugh, such a breach of etiquette.
Very cool video. I wonder if this his walks that fine line between martial arts and performance art.
Japanese game shows never fail to shock and amaze!
Very cool!
Well I can believe it's for real- I'm sure if you train long and hard with the sword (I am a mere beginner!) then it will feel almost as if it's part of you. I don't mean in some mystical way I just think it would feel like an extension of your arm if you practice enough.
Secondly- the show doesn't state how many times it takes him to cut those small objects (it may have been the 10th time!) but either way it's impressive. I reckon this guy has one other ability over and above me: excellent eyesight!
Domo Arigato Gozaimashita!
Hey, you're right-
It could have taken dozens of attempts to pull off some of those cuts.
--Still, impressive~!
Exactly, like I said, halfway between martial arts and performance art. A topic I fancy myself an expert on. (I am a performer with a martial arts schtick)
Is it me or does this dude look like a butch ladies' lady? Credit to his/her sword skills though.
