Greatest living samurai

LMAO at the guy announcer in the gameshow portion. He looks like the Japanese version of Austin Powers.
 
Very impressive. I wonder how many tries that bullet shot took him - or the bean. I really doubt he succeeded each on the first take.
 
That is pretty amazing but I find the Japanese obsession with "proving" that Samurai swords can beat modern technology rather funny. I remember one where they fired a .50 BMG round at a samurai sword (clamped in place, obviously). Broke the sword's blade inches above the hilt, but in doing so, it also sliced the bullet. Oh boy, so a sword can cut a bullet 😕

In that case it just means you have two bullet holes in your body and you got stabbed in the face by your own sword 🙂

But the cutting the BB feat was pretty impressive.

You won't be saying that when our bullets, bombs, and grenades are all cut in half by thousands of invading Japanese samuri.

Duh... that is why you use a magic unbreakable sword.

The Master Sword?!! :Q
 
Katanas = fail.

Folding metal was necessary long ago when metals had crystalline imperfections and other flaws. Now we can just order flawless billets from McMaster Carr.

So what happens when we switch from firing at them with single shot bullets to daisy cutters, and claymores

Let's see a sword cut a million BBs at once or a pressure wave!

As having completed an undergraduate degree in Materials Science Engineering, I totally loled.

Explain, please. I don't know anything about it so I am interested. 😛
