I'm sure Sean has a few.

every time these threads are made i think

'ALRIGHT NEW SH*TPOSTING GENERAL :D'

but then people start replying seriously

and neomaido deletes every post telling them to go to >>>/int/

>>10309149
Point out serious reply.

>>10309149
so gnawn dis car

I have one of Masamune swords and I use it for peeling potatoes.

why does that sword have a fuller and why does it need two

Requesting tactical janitor strike at this location, over.

Japanese swords are lame. Buy yourself an antique 19th Century French cavalry sabre and then sabrage all day.

That's what all the cool kids do.

>>10309181
raper swords are better

>>10309153
SODEHS

OBLIGATORY

>>10309192
I like rapier hilt. It's elegant and cool.
A toledo sword with a rapier hilt would look great.

>>10309192
Pssh.
Maybe if you're a 17th century Italian fop.

>>10309212
You should consider the mass and thickness of the swords and they are specialized in other areas.

>>10309212
Post the unedited version.

>>10309139
I can cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.

>>10309231
I like how the sword teleports to the side upon impact.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much worse than that. Much, much worse than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 120 Yen (that's about $1) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can't even cut wooden boards with my katana.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce some of the biggest pieces of shit known to mankind.

Katanas are barely half as sharp as European swords and half as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can't cut through at all. I'm pretty sure a katana would break trying to cut a knight wearing full plate with any kind of slash.

Ever wonder why feudal Japan never bothered conquering Europe? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Knights and their Oakeshott types X through XXII of destruction. Even in World War II, Japanese soldiers targeted the men with the mamelukes first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the worst sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require worse stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d4 Damage
x2 Crit
-2 to hit and damage
Can never count as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d6 Damage
x2 Crit
-1 to hit and damage
Can never count as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Katanas need to do much less in d20, see my new stat block.

>>10309139
IS THIS REAL OR FAKE? HAS SCIENCE GONE TOO FAR?

This sure is one epic as fuck otaku culture thread, yep sure is.

>>10309240
Woah, this copypasta has a twist.

>>10309139
It seems /jp/ is still as shity as it was when I left it. Goddamn it. Actually it seems to be snowballing.

>>10309240
Most d20 games are Western setting games.

now I had a DM in DnD once who classified a katana under longsword.

Anyways,do you REALLY expect Eastern blades in a Western Mediveil setting?

Oh wait, this is /jp/, you'd use your poopsocks as clubs till you get the color for one pixel changed.

>>10309149
Wait /jp/ isn't for shitposting?

>>10309292
Wait there was a time /jp/ wasn't shitty? Granted that begs the question if it's not shitty to anyone's standards or the skewed crap you and everyone else calls a standard.

>>10309309
I know thats what you stupid fucking Americans think its for, but thats not the case if you actual spend time having constructive conversations with people.

Why is it suddenly cool to hate katanas?

You fags do realize almost every aristocratic household in XIXth century Europe had them, usually with an original japanese armor on display?

Yes, they are overdone as fuck due to crappy movies and games. But why should anyone care?

>>10309327
Suddenly?

After the brief period in the nineties and early noughties when the Japanese culture flooded the west and weeaboos run abundant, it's now the default to hate Japan, anything Japanese other than the one thing the poster likes, and make fun of the nonexistent deluded weeaboo strawmen who supposedly think of Japan as paradise on earth.

>>10309318
So wait, I fail to see why you're angry. All I did was point out the obvious question. You assholes have never had a "constructive conversations" the conversations here are as constructive as "you suck, but I won't explain why".

Honestly this is just a copypasta more than likely, but I still don't know where you're coming from.

>>10309340

Cool /b/ mindset.

"collector" sword crap? shit's illegal in big cities, son

yes, even if it only has one edge, it's just that much bigger than a pocket knife

>>10309327
"XIXth"

No one on /jp/ will ever have the right to act as if they have class.

>>10309340
Because there are people who think that. Hell the majority of you want to go out there, while ignoring the cultural racism and xenophobia.

>>10309348
It's not really a /b/ mindset, it's everywhere from /jp/(we like their VN/games/music/whatever but Japan sucks!), the rest of 4chan, throughout places like reddit and up to comment threads on random blogs and news sites.

Every time there's a post about Japan on the internet, you can find smug commenters explaining how shitty a place it really is and how all those pathetic weeaboos must be oh so deluded.

>>10309357
No you niggers like Japan, you just try to act like you don't to try and prove the stereotypes about /jp/ wrong.

>>10309171
Your requests are ignored every time, I feel bad for you

P.S. suck on my full tang baby yeah

I own a Japanese sword, umbrella

>>10309139

>>10309423

>>10309357

Sorry but I never saw that outside of 4chan.

Pretty much all the normalfags I know like stuff like japanese swords, kimonos or ninjas.

I only own superior English and German swords.

>>10309423
>>10309429
Someone carry one of those in a U.S. airport.

>>10309429

I've always wanted the opposite of that, a sword that looks like an umbrella.

>>10309139
Cold Steel is shit quality. Throw that shit away and find something better. Hell you'd have something better if you just melted the blade down and made a big fat knife on your own.

>>10309436
>Sorry but I never saw that outside of 4chan.

It's pretty big on a lot of SA.
Or it used to be. They might have mellowed out, but I doubt it.

>>10309468
You'll find that's illegal in many places.

>>10309516
>>10309344
Stop living in the UK/Australia/California.

>>10309516

Yeah, that's kind of why I want it to look like an umbrella.

>>10309487
Hilarious marketing aside, Cold Steel does some cool stuff, their knives aren't maybe the most high-end, but they're definitely tough and can take a beating.

But yeah, I wouldn't really buy their sword replicas or the more upscale knives.

>>10309217
You're right. Katana specializes in being gay, and the Broadsword in being straight.

it's tape

I bought a set of three katanas at my pawnshop because they were 10 dollars each.

They may be shit for anything else and mounted improperly but they cut fruit like nobody's business.

bump

>>10309460

I went to an airport today and I was nervous as all hell even without something that ridiculous

ageru

yeah, because karate. it's blunt though, having a sharp one is stupid because if i hated someone enough to use a weapon on them i'd grab a gun

Do your fucking job janitor and delete this thread. Does this shit look like fucking otaku culture to you, god damn you worthless fucking faggot

There was a thread posted a while back about some guy on youtube slicing bottles and things. He had true Japanese spirit.
