Ikeda clan samurai ceremonially beheading choccy milk during Japan's Edo Period when all Western trade was banned under the Tokugawa Shogunate. NB the footage MAY have been colourised.
This is pretty much the reason the Portugese where able to kick their ass. It turns out a bunch of highly ritualized nonces can't compete against some drunk ass portuguese with a death wish.
Depends on the period really, samurai lasted for a very long time after they stopped being effective as a military group. And the idea of a code of honor was at the very end when they were trying to pretend they still existed.
As a quick follow up, the key word is “slice”; any cut that uses a drawing motion as opposed to a brute force cut will almost always be more effective and efficient.
That milk carton is the dreaded Shogun of Lactose Death, the dreaded Otokonoko-tachi o niwa e-sama. He is responsible for countless deaths. His execution has saved hundreds of thousands of young men, who will no longer follow the siren song of corruption.
Pretty sure if they are ronin they are also referred to as “masterless samurai”. However, I don’t think this milk carton killed his master as I said it DISHONORED his master. Guess he’s still a samurai. But in this instance I was referring to his master teacher of cutting milk cartons or Shihan
I'm not the person you replied to but it seems a little weird to "say it but not say it", tbh. You typed a deliberately misspelled version of the word that was close enough that anyone reading it would know what word you meant.
That's functionally the same as if you had just typed it out properly so it's kinda like... What's the point?

Expected the usual quick slash. Was literally thinking, "This would be WAY more impressive as a slow cut."
Was even MORE impressed when I got said slow cut, but in an empty container.
Now I want that guy to trim my beard. +3001. (One more than Tony Stark loving his own kid.)

This kills the carton.

Ngl, he started cutting in and there was nothing spilling out, and my first thought was, "Is it cake?"

So unrealistic. What kind of milk carton is just going to stand there?

It’s waxed rigid cardboard. As long as the edge is honed correctly, it will slice through it like butter every time.

Cutting paper does wonders to the edge.

This seems like a lot of guys gathered and armored up just to slowly take care of a milk carton.
Becker37
How'd you get that idea
supertigerlamp
Like any gather of men, one man was in his driveway doing something, and then the others came over to stand around and watch.
Dasnekones
To be fair the carton appears to be empty and would be reasonably easy to accidentally knock aside as opposed to slowly cut it like that.
Valharroth
That's just how cosplay conventions are these days.
thatwoodguy
They used to test them on dead bodies and how many you could cut through in one blow. Maybe you'd like to see that instead?

I suppose it's a skill thing. To cut it instead of pushing it or moving it at all.

Yes but they're all lactose intolerent so the carton is evenly matched

Oh, no, senpai, no. Samurai serve a lord, and since they are long gone, these are by definition ronin, who serve no master but themselves.
dyerzeve
Pretty sure if they are ronin they are also referred to as “masterless samurai”. However, I don’t think this milk carton killed his master as I said it DISHONORED his master. Guess he’s still a samurai.
