that guy would have some pretty insane intricate micro.


12 marines vs 12 lurks no marine lost. he would pull back each individual marine before the lurkspikes hit it. he would be able to manually control medics as well.

Cutting the bullet must be arranged by the shooter and the swordsman. He cuts where the bullet is supposed to appeear and then they also have to synchonize the time. It must have taken a lot of tries to finally get it.

That's really freaking amazing. I can't believe that cutting the bullet actually happened. I agree with the guy above, that must have taken several tries to get an accurate slice.

Obviously, but still, swinging a sword in mid air to hit something 6mm in diameter moving towards you at 60km/h, is an amazing display of accuracy. Screw timing.

usually if you were to cut a pipe, it would be crushed, then perhaps split apart.

He actually cut through it, not just crush it.

Kinda impressive but i don't get why the last "challenge" is said to be really hard.

Actually it looks like the easiest to me and by far.
It seems that any though wood chopper could do that too if they have this kind of high-quality sword.

In some of the "I'm a badass mofo" shots he's trying not to laugh ^^

Cool video.


I know technique with a katana is everything, but when he cut the pipe... couldn't anybody with a (very very very sharp) katana be able to do that with enough force?

That pipe was also most likely a weaker metal than the edge of the blade as well.

The last one was the weakest one by far.

Were all of these streaming live? Otherwise, he might have needed a few tries, especially for the bullet one. Eithe way, that he has crazy skill.

I really doubt this was live, but even with 100 tries, that's still SICK.

He reminds me of (T)Iris

And yea, last one is weak. Anyone could do that if they were strong enough and had that sword. The others ones that actually required skill/accuracy were impressive though

If you've ever played with an airsoft gun, you'd know that those things are not accurate at all, even at that distance.

Well he cuts the pipe. But he stops at the wooden board. Thats the most freeky thing. We could all slam the sword in the wooden table and then try to get it out. He can get to high speeds and then slow after the pipe is cut. That is real skill.

As with chopping wood, is you can't cut the whole thing. It sticks inside doesnt it?

It really isnt that easy. I have been doing Kendo for some time and once we talked about cutting techniques with a live blade - it all comes down to speed, accuracy and body dynamics, strength alone has virtually nothing to do with it. It is by the way very easy to ruin a high quality katana if you are using the woodchucker approach, and I am pretty sure you would need several tries too.

I would love to know how long this guy has been training his art to come to that point.

Imagine how much better were the real samurais of the old eras. They were born with katanas on their hands!
