He didn't really "chop the guy off", as he only struck once. But still.

Bottom message is "don't [tornado fang] with this guy's gadgets".

I'm NOT messing with this guy, period. And it was a Katana blade (one of the types of swords that are several ft. long and are used by samuarais, generally speaking the kind of sword). >.>;

Well that's one way to defend your self from a burglar.

Flame · **Reply #3 on:** September 21, 2009, 02:01:31 AM

I want to say that was awesome, but im not sure WHAT to say. All I know is, nobody's fuckin' with him ever again.

Reminds me of that lady that killed her husband with a katana at a gas station, or something along those lines.
The article made me laugh pretty hard.

struck the intruder no more than twice

Also, what.
Unless you're talking about how in the second article it says it was one downward strike or something like that.

Well, the guy did steal his stuff.

And lunged at him.

Man's gotta defend himself, y'know?

I am. If you angle it at around 30-40 degrees vertically, you can easily slash the neck and the hand in a single motion, which are what the article describes were the burglar's wounds. Thus one strike, two hits.

Sounds like you're familiar with this sort of thing.

Black Mage J · **Reply #10 on:** September 21, 2009, 02:38:31 AM

like you said, a dudes gotta defend himself ya know?
A katana is a useful weapon to have in case of a robbery, but most people grab what they can get, so a katana was a surprising weapon to use in a robery. Lol im guessing that he was practicing his moves for red steel 2 and wii sports resort?

Harruhy · **Reply #11 on:** September 21, 2009, 02:48:45 AM

I think Shiki would be using a knife, not a katana.

I dunno, just a RANDOM guess. >_>

Black Mage J · **Reply #12 on:** September 21, 2009, 03:04:51 AM

You have to master every type of weapon, plus, why use a tiny little blade when you could have a nice, big one?

Harruhy · **Reply #13 on:** September 21, 2009, 03:06:22 AM

Just ask him.

Technically, you would be right, but this can be taken both ways depending on who you're asking, me or my friend.

Quickman · **Reply #15 on:** September 21, 2009, 05:49:07 AM

I heard this story last Monday on my local news. The details they gave were that the burglar's hand was lopped off and he was slashed and died at the scene.

Makes me want some live metal even more. For protection of course.

That already happened some years ago in my country. Some FFVIII obsessed emo kid with Squall's hairdo killed his parents with a katana (no it didn't have a gun attached). It gave gamers quite a bad reputation for a while.

Kuji Kanesada > Nanatsu Yoru. It powers up Ryogi and doesn't afraid of anything.
Also, she is not your friend

Archer · **Reply #23 on:** September 21, 2009, 03:35:25 PM

I wish she was my friend.

Black Mage J · **Reply #24 on:** September 22, 2009, 01:26:10 AM

We all do, plus I kinda dont watch that anime or manga.

I didnt read the burger one. Or I just didnt catch it
