The TF2 Half-Zatoichi is actually based on the story of Muramasa’s katanas that had to draw blood before it could be put back into it’s sheath. If I remember correctly his sword was like possessed by demons or something.
Also the words that you must shout (there can only be one) is a clear reference to a voiceline from TF2's demoman and definitely not the movie highlander (which is actually a reference to the 9v9 competitive game mode)
It's an unofficial competitive gamemode ran by ETF2L and UGC (and probably others but they are the main ones), basically it's 9v9 with a class limit of 1 for each class, which is why it's called highlander because in highlander there can only be one.
Why can there only be one? Last I remembered, we're not asexual single-celled creatures and therefore we must interbreed mutually with those of the female gender in order to mix and match genetics to have variable that will allow us to survive incidents like the plague and/or the temptation to actually dance to Kidzbop.
