If i collected swords i would be annoyed.

But i dont.  I do admit that it is a bit stupid.

Samurai were extremely formidable warriors when faced against other samurai.

East asian cultures seem to have a greater propensity than even ours to merge history and religion with legend.

I just realized that there is a "historical" movie with ninjas in it, lmao.
