THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FUCKING “NINJA SWORD”, ninja did not have standardized equipment or tactics or leadership. They were assassins and spies, they would have no use or legal cover story to carry a sword and would be immediately caught.
a KATANA is a SAMURAI SWORD you fucking SWORD PHILLISTINES
why? BECAUSE IT WAS USED EXCLUSIVELY BY SAMURAI
they would EXECUTE YOU for OWNING A SWORD if you were not a samurai
Heck, the samurai would hide next to roads at night and MURDER RANDOM PEASANTS that crossed their path just to TEST THEIR NEW SWORDS
If it didn’t kill in 1 stroke, it was a SHIT SWORD
and it was PERFECTLY LEGAL because JUST LIKE EURO KNIGHTS the samurai were WARLORD KILLER MAFIOSOS who survived by PILLAGE AND OPRESSION
you idiot anglos INVENTED the term SAMURAI SWORD because your IDIOT ICE MUTANT MOUTHS can’t pronounce something as simple as “KA-TA-NA” so USE YOUR OWN WORDS IDIOT BRITS
Heck, the samurai would hide next to roads at night and MURDER RANDOM PEASANTS that crossed their path just to TEST THEIR NEW SWORDS
Wikipedia…
Tsujigiri (辻斬り or 辻斬, literally “crossroads killing”) is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during nighttime. The practitioners themselves are also referred to as tsujigiri.
This would be technically illegal as far as I know but who da fuck is gonna snitch since the victim would die and the samurai aren’t gonna turn themselves in. Samurai were allowed to legally strike down peasants who dishonored them but I think they had to argue this in a court. Not that the court would have any reason to side with said peasant, but they at least at the illusion of law and order
they at least at the illusion of law and order
The song remains the same.
Sword attacks were not the only possible application of this act. In a variation named tsuji-nage (辻投げ, “crossroads throwing”), the samurai would attack the passerby with jujutsu in order to test his own techniques or indulge in alive practice.[3] This must not be mistaken with tsuji-zumo, unsanctioned sumo bouts hosted in the street between willing participants.
Lots of people don’t know this but before Unsanctioned Sumo changed their name - they had a few angry altercations in/near the clubs they played at. In the worst one - their lead guitarist got punched in the face by an irate guy who said “Where’s the fucking sumo? I bought tickets to Unsanctioned Sumo Bouts and you’re a fucking indie band?” The guy was wearing a big ring on his punching hand and the guitarist got a tooth cracked. The band changed their name the very next day.
I mean its sun, so all verbiage is subject to clickbait. But let your rage be pure

I know how not funny this is because it’s horrifying, oppressive, violent, and awful, but it’s like a little funny.
literally treating random innocents the way I treat mobs in Minecraft when I finish enchanting a sword
I’ve come to terms: it’s the degree to which it’s so barbaric and unnecessary that makes it funny. It’s so cruel that it should be parody.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Ahem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjatō
Anybody who’s somebody knows that ninja swords are straight and have square tsubas. Here is HISTORICAL NINJA, Rikimaru from the Tenchu video game series with his ninjatō:
Just ignore this bit please:
Historically, there is no physical evidence for the existence of this “katana-like short sword legendarily used by ninja” before the 20th century,[13] though it is believed that the designs demonstrated by alleged replicas are based on the design of wakizashi or chokutō swords or the swords associated with ashigaru.[1]
Excuse me, ninja use traditional peasant and laborer tools as weapons.
No they use saurikens and nunchuks and smoke bombs and poison darts. I’ve seen footage on me tellie
Nunchaku were farming implements used to thresh rice or soybeans.
oi! got a loisence for those farming implements?He knows. The ban also includes scythes, hoes, fertilizer, grain silos, cattle, motorized transportation, and an “outdoors lifestyle”.
mfw I’m about to shank some fools with masonry equipment
Chainsaw is a ninja weapon for 21st century, katanas - right out
YES ninja were not standardized, ‘ninja sword’ is like saying ‘gangster rifle’, a criminal/terrorist/assassin will use whatever they have to accomplish their goal, they usually can’t or don’t build their own weapons. they don’t have uniforms and tables of equipment like a military does.
And yet, everyone knows what is meant. Just like gangster gun immediately brings to mind the tommy gun…
I welcome the Tokugawa Clan’s efforts, and I encourage them to go further.
When you put it that way, it sounds like they’re trying to do a sword hunt in 2024.
So even after they ban guns, they’ll still go after knives.
Maybe…maybe they should look at the root issues of why there is an increase of violence. But that means investing in housing and education, and stop tearing up the social programs that help people meet their basic needs. Might have to cut back on arming nazis elsewhere.
you shouldn’t be able to claim the title ‘Sir’ if you’re not willing to engage in trial by sword duel
Walking in knighting ceremony like:
Got a permit for that sword mate? I know you are a king but the law is the law, sir, please follow me.
Some British weeaboo is constructing a Shinzo Abe contraption “ninja sword” as we speak. The Sun readers will not stop him as they are not versed in the way of the blade.
They are disarming the proletariat because they know how hard we have all been studying the blade. The sword is the true worker’s symbol of liberation. Only a multi-thousand-times folded blade can cleanly slice through the chains of oppression.
Bullshit.
The humble yet mighty spear is the symbol of liberation for the workers and peasants through out history since time immemorial.
Swords are bourgeoisie and spears are proletariat, and also in every HEMA sword-spear matchup the spear wins.
And against the feudal SWAT shitlords known as knights in all their tin can glory, all a sword can do against them is maybe give them tinnitus and a strained neck or some light bruises.
A spear and a good running start will turn a knight into a fresh can of spam.
Get some pikes and some comrades and the knights can’t do shit
I mean if we really want to be flexing get the Lads halberds
The average Mace & Dagger enjoyer can put a knight to sleep in no time
If your sword breaks, you have a broken sword.
If your spear breaks, you have a staff!
Or even better, a one-handed spear!
I stand corrected - I must begin studying the spear.
That’s why it’s the symbol of liberation for workers and peasants. You don’t really need to!
How about a fookin’ gun with a bayonet now… that’s apt to industrial capitalism…
Now, if we took makeshift drones and cellphones, and a bit of kitchen material… to adapt to the modern age…
Hmmm…
This is the funniest reenactment of the sword hunt imaginable.
Genuine uncle/nephew tragedy/farce historical materialist seal of approval
Are they trying to lose to the Tories again?
They’ll never win without the Ninja-weeaboo vote.
I legit think labor lurch to the right is consequences of them seeing 460 seats in parliament in polls and going:
we can’t win by that much, we have to have thin margin, and go as far right as possible until polls show us in 50 50 split. “Looking at the audience like the price is right contestants” type of deal
god they really are just Democrats now aren’t they
We have finally found an industry small enough not to be able to buy him off.
Some unknown turkish steel corpo right now
actually this is a samurai sword officer, not a ninja swordThe funniest thing is, the kindsa swords he wants to ban are already banned under the offensive weapons act.
Like, they’ve been illegal since 1988, in 2019 the act was amended to include the sorts of impractical wall hangers I’ve heard people online describe as “mall ninja shit”.
Starmer’s a lawyer, he should know this.
There had been that Weapons Law, for a start. Weapons were involved in so many crimes that, Swing reasoned, reducing the number of weapons had to reduce the crime rate.
Vimes wondered if he’d sat up in bed in the middle of the night and hugged himself when he’d dreamed that one up. Confiscate all weapons, and crime would go down. It made sense. It would have worked, too, if only there had been enough coppers - say, three per citizen.
Amazingly, quite a few weapons were handed in. The flaw, though, was one that had somehow managed to escape Swing, and it was this: criminals don’t obey the law. It’s more or less a requirement for the job. They had no particular interest in making the streets safer for anyone except themselves. And they couldn’t believe what was happening. It was like Hogswatch every day.
Night Watch, Terry Pratchett
I’m American so I must ask. Are ninja edits still legal?
I like how gun control in the UK has basically turned it into Dune, but only for crime.
