Samurai vs. Gun
Well the gun is filled with plastic bullets of a dubious, if impressive speed. Before that there is some vegetable torture. This is exactly why the gods invented swords.

“Hmmmm..Yen..that’s Japanese, right?” Britain to ban samurai swords! World Speed Walking Champion Attacked by Samurai: Will he Run Away or Speed Walk Away? |


Now that’s bad ass. It’s a shame projectile weapons were ever invented. Sword styles and skill are so much more impressive. Any fool can shoot a gun. I know, I spent time in the US Army…
I’m pretty sure they had to take a million retakes to get it right (especially judging from his excited reaction after managing to cut the BB bullet), but still, really amazing.
BTW, a BB bullet is made out of plastic, not rubber.
there alot of amazing japanese under youtube. Simply amazing
I’ve seen this dood a few times, both here on JP and on TV, and regardless of takes, cutting edamame in half is pretty sweet. So is cutting a flying BB, regardless of how slow it might be going.
While it’s cool that we get to see all this, I wonder if it’s just me that feels it’s somehow demeaning to be featured on a TV, much less a show with wacky sound effects and crazy loud tarentos.
But then again, the guy seems to enjoy it himself, so I guess it’s ok.
I like how they call the special camera the “super slow camera” whereas it’s normally called a “hi-speed camera” in the west. Interesting cultural difference?
gun>sword
I want to see him take down a whale.
Why is the guy shooting the gun a middle aged fat white male in camo?
I was wondering about that too–is the guy with the guy Caucasian?
