soldiers died by their rifle, samurai died by their sword, jedi died by their lightsabre, spankwire users died by their kleenex box.

cool show, but they keep using what looks like a cheap knockoff for the 'ooh pretty' shots.

for something so old it's unbelievably advance and technical...there is almost limitless types and effects of polishing stones...there is a saying amongst master sword polishers, "in your home you will run out of space for your wife before you run out of space for your stones"...

ugh...'european swords relied on brute strength'...typical nonsense brought on by the obsession of someone else's culture. Europeans we just as advanced, if not more so, in the martial arts as Asians. The difference is that we didn't regard it as important to continue studying fighting methods that were outdated. European sword fighting was not about strength, it was about accuracy. The goal is to find an part of your opponent without armor on it, and stab that part.

Oh, and it's 'sah-moo-rye' not 'sam-your-eye'...boy that's annoying...
