For example back in the day if you were being robbed or something you didn't call the police, you called for _help_

And it was expected that if you were a God-fearing man with any balls at all

You would actually help those in need

With the sword that you carried everywhere

Meaning Japan would probably have been made into a ching chong province if it wasnt for being an easily defended island

lucky japs

too bad Bong got the good iron and coal instead

The Samurai mostly fought other Samurai and not foreign armies

That's why their weapon designs were the same for so long

no foreign armies to fight cuz ya know

this ^

Asian states arent known for their naval prowess

They would have been rolled over by any other military

In the UK swords, curved blades like katanas and tantos are popular with inner city street thugs. So much so that the government seem to beleive that a curved blade is somehow more dangerous.

in fact... they WERE

Japs never escaped Japan

Until stupid Bongs gave them tech

Bong messing stuff up

A smaller blade is more dangerous because it can be concealed. You go at a guy with a sword you might as well go at him with a full length shotgun or rifle. Knives are more discreet and can be used suddenly and quickly.

stab

ya know why I use a knife

There are no duels on British streets, just people rushing eachover. It's primal, and swords are formal, elegant weapons.

instead of a gun

I think in a lot of the civil conflict we are experiencing now there is actually a place for swords, as a deterrent

guns are too quick

Not as a replacement for a gun but a supplement

Hehehej

idk

In crazy crowded situations you can't just fire wildly

What about a gun sword?

can we get lightsabers pls

<:Soy:594056519604109312>

LIGHTSABZERS

And if people are getting really rowdy and out of control like they're about to chimp out

You can draw a sword

Block ur way

super chop

You can wound and threaten non-fatally with a sword also

Shad is cool leave off him

And the threat of lethality is there as a deterrent
