anime creators should learn more from this fight, nowadays the anime's are leaning forward to superpowers and crap when in reality a good fight is shown on how good theyre physical fighting prowes is with either fists or weapons.. just sayin
i really dont like this anime sword of the stranger...this anime portrays a conflict between japanese and the chinese...but in actuality portrayed 2 non-japanese or chinese guys cross blades and the red hair dude won! so what was the story even about?
then what is the point of having 2 foreigners fight in japan...make it even stranger is these foreigners without any past. one serving under opressive chinese army, 2nd just happen to cross path with the other without having any grudge or obligations...putting their lives on the line.
the title say sword of the stranger? so i am guessing the two foreigners are the strangers? makes no fucking sense. this whole anime except the fighting scene is crap.
@SoapMacTavishh I disagree, it's about a men who will not follow orders and it revolves around the plight of little helpless children. It's quite deep.
The blond is in it for the fight and only cares about the fight and is willing to anything to fight (Much like Zaraki Kenpachi for example). The other guy (The hero) is here by accident I suppose... But yeah, like I said in the description, the movie is really nothing special. They didn't even explain why the kid is needed for the immortality. Lazy writing? or just an excuse to sell an anime with great animation? Who knows !
@RayZ0RBlad3 yah, thats not better, Superpowers don't make a good fights scenes and it is how SoapMacTavishh said: massacre but well animated. The best fight for me is the last one from Shigurui. Really bloody done after a few seconds....
tbh I couldn't even get into this fight scene. The music probably is what held me back the most, but everyone has their own opinion on what the best fight scene is. Trying to convince someone to change their taste is impossible. For the uploader this is the best fight scene ever. For me, no.
It was well animated, but that's about all I got from it. I don't know the characters, the story or any background, so the fight had no impact for me. Judging it from just the fight, it was good, but not great. All in my opinion, of course.
@SoapMacTavishh "cwbKi_Sx8RA" I won't be suprised if you don't like it, I simply have watched every episode, TWICE (which is like 300+), Gintama has a wonderful mix of comedy, drama, parody, and samurai. Which ocassionally show some lovely fight scenes. Which gives people material to work with for AMV like this: "M8riLwnCVOw"
@SoapMacTavishh@SoapMacTavishh Mugen & Jin vs. Kariya Kagetoki (Samurai Champloo), Spike Spiegel vs. Vincent Volaju (Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door), Hiruzen Sarutobi vs. Orochimaru Minato Namikaze vs. Tobi (Naruto Shippuden), Konoha Shinobi Team 10 + Kakashi Hatake vs. Hidan + Kakuzu (Naruto Shippuden), Naruto Uzimaki vs. Pain, Sasuke Uchiha vs Itachi Uchiha, Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Sosuke Aizen...
Good fight! I swear you don't see enough of these kinds of fights in most mainstreams like Bleach & Naruto! It always starts off really cool, but then it gets extremely annoying & drawn out with all the stupid talking that they do! It really kills the mood. Areas like that are where series like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, & Samurai Champloo truly accel as compared to Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, & DBZ! The flashy fantastical stuff is fun to watch, but it'd be better if the talking was minimized!
We've all seen tons of anime. But never have I seen a scene of this quality (yes I've watched the full movie). Naruto vs Pain is probably the closest in terms in quality. Yes their are a thousand epic amazing battles in five hundred different anime but in terms in QUALITY, my humble opinion is best animated fight scene of all time.
epic battle. i bought this anime because a friend sugested it and ive seen it more than i like to mention. not only this fight but this whole movie was awesome. loved it.
uploader, you would get an F- in a critical thinking or analysis course. Copy of kenpachi's character? rofl, what a base analysis. this movie wasn't shallow at all and the character's were pretty indepth.
@rufia75 yo lol u seem to know ur shit.do u know any other anime that are animated like this? i know of ao no exorcist, naruto, bleach, samurai 7, samurai champloo, buso renkin, katekyo hitman, fairy tail, sword of stranger, d gray man, historys strongest kenichi, kekkaishi, shura no toki.. loll sorry knowing my luck there arent any i havent seen. fml
@jakach23 try claymore, trigun, chrono crusade, full metal alchemist, could try ikki tousen, i hear good things about gintama and gantz, black blood brothers, gungrave for starters
@MR6TUBE sorry, I'm not sure about that. Swords existed at least in 3rd century in japan. and straight sword was introduced from china. later, japan started producing curved sword from straight one. I don't know if it is Tang Dao or not.
I'll leave it to historians. Let's not talk about which is better or which is the original.
@SoapMacTavishh my opinion is not nor will it ever be invalid. furthermore its not just an opinion, its a fact. u have not seen all anime therefore u can not nor do u have the right to choose which fight scene is best. ill admit its an epic fight but it is not the best. i do not need an example to prove a simple and obvious fact. srry if i seem a bit bitchy.
It is invalid. If you think there is something better, give us an example. saying ''you're wrong'' without giving proof is pointless. As long as no one shows me something better that this, it will remain the best fighting scene ever.
Whats wrong with a good solid story (not over the top, not super unique), done very well? Its a samurai movie at its core, There have been redemption samurai stories way before kenshin, and it has a smoother plot than most of the type. Very strong character interaction. Add in the fact it has some of the best animation (its hard to believe some of it is hand drawn) and choreographed fights in anime, you just gotta sit back and enjoy it for what it is.
This is how a battle should be fought. One on One, the strength and skill of one warrior against another. An honest fight, no trickery, no reinforcements.
There is no excuse in the end when the better fighter finally claims victory. If only all battles could be like this one.
@superbrainification Youre an idiot when it comes to swords and metallurgy in general.
A piece of advise: dont act smarter than you are.
1) Katana is not a two hand sword.
2) The Nihonto forging methods are inferior to Chinese (they were originally Chinese but while Chinese started using blast furnaces the Japanese did not). As such steel-wise the Japanese swords are actually pretty weak.
3) Swords and Iron works in general were introduced to Japan from China.
Nihoto tend to have very high and uneven temper lines which results in flaw points. Dude to the absence of widespread metal armor use it was not as issue though, unlike in Europe or China where metal armor was common and such temper lines were unacceptable.
Katana is a symbolic sword more than a weapon. Its got into the pop culture as something near lightsaber like, in reality its far from it. Its a false myth, like many other things about Japan, Shinobi (aka Ninja) for instance.
The actual forging process of Chinese and Japanese (and Korean) blades is absolutely identical. While the steel is of a higher quality the forging process doesnt change. The only difference is the temper lines being even and narrow in Chinese swords opposed uneven and wide in Japanese. Although historically the temper lines on Japanese swords were not as wide and patterned as they are now for example as nowadays its done for artistic purposes.
@Buuub08 Okay.. I may not have known about Chinese forging, but I will insist on the Katana being a two-handed weapon. Don't confuse the Katana with the Wakizashi. Anyway, by all accounts, the Japanese sword is still considered to be the sharpest of all swords. I've never even heard of the Dao.. Well at least not until I found this video.
@superbrainification The Katana is not classified as a pure two hand sword. Its short and light compared to two hand swords. Also note that the Katana is occasionally used with one hand not with both.
"Katana" is just the Japanese spelling of the Chinese word "Dao", both use the same Chinese symbol.
No one considers the Nihonto the sharpest, there is no such thing as "the sharpest" when it comes not only to swords but any blade because there is a point where its too sharp.
A sword that is too sharp will lose the edge very fast, it will simply chip off. The sharpness is just another myth spread by the pop-culture that is not actually based on anything. Its not sharper than any other decent sword or comparable edge hardness and blade thickness.
Trust me on this one.
Japanese swords are great, but they are not the light sabers they are made up to be.
@Buuub08 Yeah but I've seen people test swords, like in a video that I just watched recently where these guys compared the effectiveness of the European long sword against the Katana and other swords etc2x... And of course Katana simply outclassed them all.
@superbrainification Its BS bro. Did they show any info of the swords? Like who made them, when, where and from what material? Ofc not. Fact is - all those tests are of commercially available replicas not of actual swords. Those "katanas" are as close to the real thing as your average kitchen knife.
There is no scientific reason for the katana to outperform other swords. Pop culture doesnt really care about science or being historically accurate though.
@Buuub08 Well that's good to know.. I'm still a big fan of the Katana. I may not know a lot of things about swords but I've never seen anything cut through things as clean as the Katana. The quality of the cut and what it cuts through already speaks for the sword. Thanks for telling me a lot of new stuff.
@superbrainification Im sword enthusiast as well, my family owns a nearly 100 year old katana, i dont recall the smiths name on the fly though.
Well, katanas are extremely popular and there are many myths around it. The issue with the demonstrations is that those are not katanas being used but only visual lookalikes made of modern alloys, they do not represent the real thing in any way. There are also real ones, true, but there is no comparison being done.
If you can link to a decent and objective comparison video, id be very thankful.
BTW, just for the record - swords dont snap like shown here. Its actually extremely difficult to snap one as it can easily bend beyond 90 degrees without taking a set and like 180 before snapping IF it snaps at all, most likely it will just set (permanently deform). Swords are highly resilient, its the main characteristic of a good sword.
@Buuub08 It is possible for swords to snap like in the video. They don't portray it realistically enough but where an indent has formed from two blades crashing, by applying roughly 200kg of force behind it will cause a sword to snap. This is especially in the case of Katanas for their backs are made of soft metals in comparison to other swords for example, the chinese sabre as seen in the vid. (It's not very accurate, it's an anime after all)
@Bip7287 Not really. In fact the soft core of the Katana actually is what keeps it from snapping. Under loads it will permanently deform (bend) not snap. Snapping swords is extremely difficult. For that the metal has to be very rigid and hard instead of soft and flexible. Swords CAN snap, but its not something you will see all to common as any decent sword can easily flex to 90 degrees and beyond regaining its original shape almost instantly. It is an anime after all, yeah.
@Buuub08 I've seen a fair bit of both, bending and snapping. It is true though that the soft metal helps reduce snapping chance. I find it ingenious and bold to use soft metals as core for swords. While it does reduce overall integrity to some extent, it does protect the wielder in the chance that in a fight, pressure is applied on an indent. One thing I find rather funny is the way the Katana blade snapped in comparison to how the Chinese sabre snapped. Should've been reversed haha
@Buuub08 and the ingeniuos trick. clay a hot furnace and cold water. cooling the extremely hot metal at a fast pace is what causes the molecules to contract rapidly. i understand the science behind it which makes me back you up. when i was 15 a friend and i intrested in swords alone fought and trained. long story short i bought 2 katanas from the flea market and took them outta their handles. a cheaply made sword is never welded..those katanas had no curves they had straight backs so the shock
@punksk8erownzor LMAO. Kiddo, you are going to tell me how Katanas are made? LOL, no offense but i have been at an authentic forge too many times to count. All my blades are custom made.
You didnt buy any Katanas, what you bought were lookalikes. A real Katana is considered a national treasure by the Japanese government, obtaining them is extremely complicated, there are less than 200 people certified to make them, and you are looking at about 10 grand for the certificate alone.
First of all a Katana is curved by definition, lack of curve means its not even a Katana lookalike/replica. Straight single edged swords are called Chokuto in Japanese.
Who in the world practices with metal swords in the first place? Way dangerous.
Btw, the "indigenous trick" is not indigenous but Chinese. Although by the time the Katana appeared that trick was already obsolete for nearly 800 years.
@Buuub08 was vibrant and probably rang through the swords like a bell. on the 10th rehearseal we were full speed both of the swords broke at the same time on the first strike which was us running at each other at full speed swinging with force. snapped in the middle the two of them did.
what's up with all these samura x comments. are you people blind? can you call this japanese swordsmanship? i swear they are using the katana like the chinese sword.
I own this movie. It's a very good one, but the Japanese to English subtitles are just atrocious. I saw it in theaters way back when, was a special one time viewing thing. It was much better then, when it was in English. (I usually prefer anime to be in the original Japanese, but this one was poorly translated.)
Who can help me?.. Not a big cartoon fan but really like Fma brotherhood.. What else has a story line thats just as creative with good action and interesting characters?
This was a good fight scene very good. But I still like the one from Cowboy Bebop Movie. They may talk, but its more like what you would expect from a live action fight
Resemblance : A samurai warrior who, in the past, committed a terrible mistake that haunts him even today and for that reason he swore that he will never use his sword again/to never kill with a sword, also both have Red Hair (SotSs protagonist real hair color is red). In the case of Kenshin, he simply uses the reserve side of the blade, in the case of the protagonist of this movie, he simply sheaths it but he used it later. Not 100% similar, but still very resemblant
@SoapMacTavishh The thing is warrior with regrets are a theme of most animes in which samurai's are involved but what was different about Kenshin was that he flat out refused to kill even when the safety of the country was at stake
But on the other hans the protagonist of Mukou Hadan pulled out his sword as soon as it became necessary in order to save one child
@SoapMacTavishh If you havent noticed most anime have similarities, its done so that the viewer can relate to them. If you look at current anime and those of like 20+ years ago - same shit. Main character is typically around 12-16 years old (the age of the intended viewer), is different from others and thus often picked on or an outcast, often having non-asian features like hair or eye color, goes on a life changing journey and becomes a hero blah blah blah and so forth.
There are very few which dont fall into the cliche shonen box, and note that none had a huge success. People want to watch the same shit over and over and kids want to see characters they can relate. No sane 14 year old is going to watch Ghost in the Shell, he gonna watch Naruto though, especially if he/she has some social issues like being picked on at school.
The personality Nanashi (No-Name) has is very similar to the character of Akira Kurosawa's recurring ronin yojimbo-for-hire protagonist actually: quiet, introspective, self-assured, would rather not be bothered by political problems, running from an unspecified crime, decent-hearted, and very, VERY skilled.
It's not surprising: Kurosawa's movies were made in the 60's, and a HUGE influence on samurai drama in Japan since then.
@SoapMacTavishh wrong kenchi doesnt kill, this guy kills without hesistation ,so what that he doesn use hes sword, taht doesnt change fact that he takes human life ,beside this character killed becouse someone ordered him to do so he simplie was worior who folowed orders ,kenchi killed becouse of hes ideals he belived that war and revolution eventualy bring peace and better tomorow for people ,latter he just become wanderer who swore never to kill and repay hes sins for killing
It was epic but, not the best fight out there.. the samurai champloo ending with gene is better in my opinion.. or the ending of advent children with cloud and sephiroth
@cocnut20 in my opinion that can sumtimes be wat seperates a good scene from a bad one. if a character is talking in a scene like this it wood destroy a cuple good things about the scene. one; (i dont know how to use semicolons for my life btw) if a character talks it cood totally annihilate the intensity, grunts can however bring a scene to life. two; if there were a conversation going on now than it might end up screwing with finalizing feel to this scene.
i do know you guys feel bad for this kid that has no taste in fighting scenes

well in reality, that chinese sword would break when used against a two handed blade such as the katana. especially the katana.

@superbrainification Youre an idiot when it comes to swords and metallurgy in general.
A piece of advise: dont act smarter than you are.
1) Katana is not a two hand sword.
2) The Nihonto forging methods are inferior to Chinese (they were originally Chinese but while Chinese started using blast furnaces the Japanese did not). As such steel-wise the Japanese swords are actually pretty weak.
3) Swords and Iron works in general were introduced to Japan from China.

Nihoto tend to have very high and uneven temper lines which results in flaw points. Dude to the absence of widespread metal armor use it was not as issue though, unlike in Europe or China where metal armor was common and such temper lines were unacceptable.
Katana is a symbolic sword more than a weapon. Its got into the pop culture as something near lightsaber like, in reality its far from it. Its a false myth, like many other things about Japan, Shinobi (aka Ninja) for instance.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
And one more thing.
The actual forging process of Chinese and Japanese (and Korean) blades is absolutely identical. While the steel is of a higher quality the forging process doesnt change. The only difference is the temper lines being even and narrow in Chinese swords opposed uneven and wide in Japanese. Although historically the temper lines on Japanese swords were not as wide and patterned as they are now for example as nowadays its done for artistic purposes.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
@Buuub08 Okay.. I may not have known about Chinese forging, but I will insist on the Katana being a two-handed weapon. Don't confuse the Katana with the Wakizashi. Anyway, by all accounts, the Japanese sword is still considered to be the sharpest of all swords. I've never even heard of the Dao.. Well at least not until I found this video.
superbrainification 4 weeks ago
@superbrainification The Katana is not classified as a pure two hand sword. Its short and light compared to two hand swords. Also note that the Katana is occasionally used with one hand not with both.
"Katana" is just the Japanese spelling of the Chinese word "Dao", both use the same Chinese symbol.
No one considers the Nihonto the sharpest, there is no such thing as "the sharpest" when it comes not only to swords but any blade because there is a point where its too sharp.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
A sword that is too sharp will lose the edge very fast, it will simply chip off. The sharpness is just another myth spread by the pop-culture that is not actually based on anything. Its not sharper than any other decent sword or comparable edge hardness and blade thickness.
Trust me on this one.
Japanese swords are great, but they are not the light sabers they are made up to be.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
@Buuub08 Yeah but I've seen people test swords, like in a video that I just watched recently where these guys compared the effectiveness of the European long sword against the Katana and other swords etc2x... And of course Katana simply outclassed them all.
superbrainification 4 weeks ago
@superbrainification Its BS bro. Did they show any info of the swords? Like who made them, when, where and from what material? Ofc not. Fact is - all those tests are of commercially available replicas not of actual swords. Those "katanas" are as close to the real thing as your average kitchen knife.
There is no scientific reason for the katana to outperform other swords. Pop culture doesnt really care about science or being historically accurate though.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
@Buuub08 Well that's good to know.. I'm still a big fan of the Katana. I may not know a lot of things about swords but I've never seen anything cut through things as clean as the Katana. The quality of the cut and what it cuts through already speaks for the sword. Thanks for telling me a lot of new stuff.
superbrainification 4 weeks ago
@superbrainification Im sword enthusiast as well, my family owns a nearly 100 year old katana, i dont recall the smiths name on the fly though.
Well, katanas are extremely popular and there are many myths around it. The issue with the demonstrations is that those are not katanas being used but only visual lookalikes made of modern alloys, they do not represent the real thing in any way. There are also real ones, true, but there is no comparison being done.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
If you can link to a decent and objective comparison video, id be very thankful.
BTW, just for the record - swords dont snap like shown here. Its actually extremely difficult to snap one as it can easily bend beyond 90 degrees without taking a set and like 180 before snapping IF it snaps at all, most likely it will just set (permanently deform). Swords are highly resilient, its the main characteristic of a good sword.
Buuub08 4 weeks ago
@Buuub08 It is possible for swords to snap like in the video. They don't portray it realistically enough but where an indent has formed from two blades crashing, by applying roughly 200kg of force behind it will cause a sword to snap. This is especially in the case of Katanas for their backs are made of soft metals in comparison to other swords for example, the chinese sabre as seen in the vid. (It's not very accurate, it's an anime after all)
Bip7287 3 weeks ago
@Bip7287 Not really. In fact the soft core of the Katana actually is what keeps it from snapping. Under loads it will permanently deform (bend) not snap. Snapping swords is extremely difficult. For that the metal has to be very rigid and hard instead of soft and flexible. Swords CAN snap, but its not something you will see all to common as any decent sword can easily flex to 90 degrees and beyond regaining its original shape almost instantly. It is an anime after all, yeah.
Buuub08 3 weeks ago
@Buuub08 I've seen a fair bit of both, bending and snapping. It is true though that the soft metal helps reduce snapping chance. I find it ingenious and bold to use soft metals as core for swords. While it does reduce overall integrity to some extent, it does protect the wielder in the chance that in a fight, pressure is applied on an indent. One thing I find rather funny is the way the Katana blade snapped in comparison to how the Chinese sabre snapped. Should've been reversed haha
Bip7287 3 weeks ago
@Buuub08 and the ingeniuos trick. clay a hot furnace and cold water. cooling the extremely hot metal at a fast pace is what causes the molecules to contract rapidly. i understand the science behind it which makes me back you up. when i was 15 a friend and i intrested in swords alone fought and trained. long story short i bought 2 katanas from the flea market and took them outta their handles. a cheaply made sword is never welded..those katanas had no curves they had straight backs so the shock
punksk8erownzor 3 weeks ago
@punksk8erownzor LMAO. Kiddo, you are going to tell me how Katanas are made? LOL, no offense but i have been at an authentic forge too many times to count. All my blades are custom made.
You didnt buy any Katanas, what you bought were lookalikes. A real Katana is considered a national treasure by the Japanese government, obtaining them is extremely complicated, there are less than 200 people certified to make them, and you are looking at about 10 grand for the certificate alone.
Buuub08 3 weeks ago
First of all a Katana is curved by definition, lack of curve means its not even a Katana lookalike/replica. Straight single edged swords are called Chokuto in Japanese.
Who in the world practices with metal swords in the first place? Way dangerous.
Btw, the "indigenous trick" is not indigenous but Chinese. Although by the time the Katana appeared that trick was already obsolete for nearly 800 years.
Buuub08 3 weeks ago
@Buuub08 was vibrant and probably rang through the swords like a bell. on the 10th rehearseal we were full speed both of the swords broke at the same time on the first strike which was us running at each other at full speed swinging with force. snapped in the middle the two of them did.

I own this movie. It's a very good one, but the Japanese to English subtitles are just atrocious. I saw it in theaters way back when, was a special one time viewing thing. It was much better then, when it was in English. (I usually prefer anime to be in the original Japanese, but this one was poorly translated.)

And though the antagonist's personality resembles Kenpachi
He is different simply because of the fact that he is much calmer most of the time
I don't really see the resemblance b/w Kenshin aand the protogonist though
I saw it a few years ago still remember it

@flaminjin1
Resemblance : A samurai warrior who, in the past, committed a terrible mistake that haunts him even today and for that reason he swore that he will never use his sword again/to never kill with a sword, also both have Red Hair (SotSs protagonist real hair color is red). In the case of Kenshin, he simply uses the reserve side of the blade, in the case of the protagonist of this movie, he simply sheaths it but he used it later. Not 100% similar, but still very resemblant
SoapMacTavishh 1 month ago 2
@SoapMacTavishh The thing is warrior with regrets are a theme of most animes in which samurai's are involved but what was different about Kenshin was that he flat out refused to kill even when the safety of the country was at stake
But on the other hans the protagonist of Mukou Hadan pulled out his sword as soon as it became necessary in order to save one child
flaminjin1 1 month ago
@SoapMacTavishh If you havent noticed most anime have similarities, its done so that the viewer can relate to them. If you look at current anime and those of like 20+ years ago - same shit. Main character is typically around 12-16 years old (the age of the intended viewer), is different from others and thus often picked on or an outcast, often having non-asian features like hair or eye color, goes on a life changing journey and becomes a hero blah blah blah and so forth.
Buuub08 1 month ago
There are very few which dont fall into the cliche shonen box, and note that none had a huge success. People want to watch the same shit over and over and kids want to see characters they can relate. No sane 14 year old is going to watch Ghost in the Shell, he gonna watch Naruto though, especially if he/she has some social issues like being picked on at school.

Never seen an Akira Kurosawa movie?
The personality Nanashi (No-Name) has is very similar to the character of Akira Kurosawa's recurring ronin yojimbo-for-hire protagonist actually: quiet, introspective, self-assured, would rather not be bothered by political problems, running from an unspecified crime, decent-hearted, and very, VERY skilled.
It's not surprising: Kurosawa's movies were made in the 60's, and a HUGE influence on samurai drama in Japan since then.

@SoapMacTavishh wrong kenchi doesnt kill, this guy kills without hesistation ,so what that he doesn use hes sword, taht doesnt change fact that he takes human life ,beside this character killed becouse someone ordered him to do so he simplie was worior who folowed orders ,kenchi killed becouse of hes ideals he belived that war and revolution eventualy bring peace and better tomorow for people ,latter he just become wanderer who swore never to kill and repay hes sins for killing

@cocnut20 in my opinion that can sumtimes be wat seperates a good scene from a bad one. if a character is talking in a scene like this it wood destroy a cuple good things about the scene. one; (i dont know how to use semicolons for my life btw) if a character talks it cood totally annihilate the intensity, grunts can however bring a scene to life. two; if there were a conversation going on now than it might end up screwing with finalizing feel to this scene.
