Viking vs. Samurai : Thrand's Aftermath 3/3

Thrand continues to show inaccuracies in Spike TV's Program Deadliest Warrior Viking vs. Samurai.Thrand and his assistant Eldgrimr, demonstrate how inaccurate the Viking vs. Samurai episode of Deadliest Warrior on Spike TV was, and how historically accurate the information is that Thrand and Agonios posted on the Viking vs. Samurai blog. In this video Thrand and Tommy display a wide range of Viking skills that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a Viking is superior, provided he is properly armed and adept, when facing a Samurai opponent in single combat. Skill sets addressed in this video include, sword and shield style fighting style versus katana, naginata, and kanabo, javelin charge against a Samurai archer, javelin and throwing axe techniques, various sword and axe cuts, Danish great axe maneuvers versus the naginata, spear catching, and others that prove a Viking was a martial artist. Watch, learn from us, laugh with us, and above all else please leave comments, rate us, and send Spike TV's Deadliest Warrior an email asking for a rematch of Viking vs. Samurai. send your complaints about the Viking versus Samurai episode to deadliestwarrior@spiketv.com

SAMURAI. ANY DAY.

@SYF314

1) Some vikings were farmers who took up raiding once in a while to feed their families, but most were professional warriors. I'd like to see the samurai go up against a housekarl or berserker.

2) Vikings lived in a harsh, lawless land full of bandits, rival clans and dangerous animals. Back then, everyone had some combat training, and it was a lot more pragmatic than the samurai's ritualised training.

3) Samurai slaughtered "innocent villagers" often, and were never punished for it.

LOLOLOL!

The guy using the sword couldn't cut through a cloth shirt.

Hanes Fruit of the Loom armor dude, we aware, i'm wearing it.

[SYF314]

Dude, a samurai would fuck up a viking any day. You've failed to realize that the reason the samurai wore such lightweight armor was for the speed and mobility it offers, which not to mention they've TRAINED THEIR WHOLE FUCKING LIVES. Opposed to a viking, who most likely has little to no combat training and relies on the sheer power of overwhelming surprise attacks on innocent villagers?

@masterdude134

When it comes to cutting through steel, it really doesn't matter what edge you have. A soft one will dull, a hard one will shatter. You're just not going to hack through steel with a three pound razor. Hell, most swords have trouble cutting thick leather.

[Ts6451]

@masterdude134 : The "cutting armor" discussion is fairly irrelevant, you do not rely on your armor as a primary defensive tool, it is only there to give you a higher probability of survival. Anyway, I should think that a warrior would not willingly damage their master forged blade on cutting metal unless forced by extremity to do so, a good blade was extremely expensive, and it is extremely difficult to cut a chain armor of good quality, it is better to target less defended areas instead.

[Ts6451]

@titytit : The armor is not there to be a primary defense, the best strategy is not to be hit by your enemy in the first place. Still, the mail(with proper under armor) did provide protection that could save a warrior's life, though serious bruises and broken bones was not uncommon if one got hit, such injuries are much more survivable than the alternative.

[masterdude134]

@NoisemakerArrow My friend, it is not my responsibility to ensure these "fools" as i called them have the proper sword in which to do this test. They chose not to spend 1000$-3500$ in order to get the accuracy needed in the test. The sword being shown is of less than 200$ quality meaning its edge is extremely weak for cutting through armor. And before you say "No Katana can cut through armor" you are wrong, during the wars there were Katana specifically designed to cut through thick armor.

[TheDardanianKnight]

@NoisemakerArrow -and through sarcasm....

[NoisemakerArrow]

@TheDardanianKnight Right, it could cut through steel...

And through tanks...

And through Wolverine's claws, right?
