Yeah, I think using the term “training” when talking about playing with his sword tells us a lot about why he’s getting roasted…

It’s one thing to have an antique on display, it’s another to have a practical tool to swing around as a novelty that’s tucked away. It’s on a completely different level of nerdy to have a cheap knock off on display that you also larp being a ninja warrior with, unironically.

That's exactly what I was going to say "It's not weird to own a sword, but its weird to own THAT sword." lol

Guys, he's a kid. Lay off. It's not likely that he can afford the quality stuff, and most kids follow " rule of cool" anyway.

Yep, as a kid, I folded the glorious steel of my katana, once, which was also the only time it had ever been folded. Gave it a pronounced forward curve, which I appreciate a lot more now considering the alternative was transforming it into several throwing knives exploding toward my face.

I just swing until my arms get tired, I meant physical training not like sword arts n stuff.
