Maybe, just maybe, in the zeal to debunk samurai as being the ultimate warrior, people have taken it too far in the other direction. After all not invincible does not necessarily mean armoured in paper with a sword made out of pottery.wautd wrote:Edit: the show's samurai wanking aside, I was actually surprised when they tested the samurai armor and how effective it was.
Anyway, this show continually surprises me with how willing it is to be utterly stupid. I mean, really, Vlad the Impaler versus Sun Tzu? Vlad the Impaler versus Sun Tzu? Fucking really? Not even Spacebattles could come up with something that dumb, and they've made an art out of dumb versus battles. Maybe there can be a twist ending where Vlad shows up for the one on one duel, only to discover that Sun Tzu ignored it and burnt all his crops.
