It's like at some point they forgot that katanas were made that way because they did not have that much metal available in high quantity and quality to make stronger more durable swords, while also forgetting that most people that engaged in combat historically in Japan still used bows and Spears way more than swords. Where's my Nagitana glazing huh? Where's the love for the odachi? The appreciation for the longbow? or the scimitar? For the mighty blades of the Mongols? I mean ...uh... Yeah the sword would probably break(tho in this series defense is probably made of magic metal or some shit. the better question is why doesn't she wear any actual armor other than like basic arm and shin guards?)

It's less "human nature is war"(which to some degree it is), and more their home continent being a reflection of European feudalism where there are a great many people that wanted power -either to seize it or to hold on to it since they've already seized it, and as such there's a great many conflicts. on top of that you have basic tribalism which is absolutely in human nature in the sense that we have evidence of not just every human population above a certain size, but nearly every homo species of sufficient intellect(and also f****** chimpanzees) engaging in it. Simply put conflict is born from an urge to hold resources or fear of the unknown. in the continent they're from there's plenty of both, in the continent they're currently in fear of the unknown is subsumed by the greater unknown and there's less conflict of resources due to said greater unknown also being a means to gather resources. I will agree people don't need a villain though - they simply need a goal (like that couple decades or so where most of the western world decided that we got to get into space) but in a world of a thousand different people's thought patterns desires and methodologies the simplest goals to put people behind are the most basic ones - stop the enemy that aims to destroy you, protect your people, protect your land, protect your property.

He was denied need to know information!

In the hereafter with his immortal soul I
Imagine.

That man is a real one bro, he's got no disillusions about what this is and what he has to do he just wishes he didn't have to do it.

That's the funniest thing to cut back to glasses dude just getting bodied. like on one side it's a fight on the other side it's a beatdown.

You ain't got to get anything out of snitching, but giving the guy that's killing you the full rundown on every ounce of your organization as far as you know all the members of your crew your motivations and where everybody's at is absolutely snitching.

He's like the guy that gets called into the police precinct and leaves with McDonald's, top tier snitch.

I don't know what it is about these guys.... https://i.postimg.cc/Y9wY9myf/i.pngbut they have orc energy.

Well when everybody inherits and adds on to various martial arts across several generations you end up with long names I guess, either that or it comes off shorter Korean than it does when transliterated.

I'm really proud of him for just embracing the horrible weapon he harbors, turns every trait he wields into a strength.

yeah i just finished Edgerunners so i was already in a mood, i'm nearly at tears for that sword right now.

Is wild how that one dude caught two strays( he got triple dipped on his guidance) and the main character caught a stray cuz he straight up wasn't fighting he was just avoiding hits.

Blessed by the sun! Who decided that?https://i.postimg.cc/Zn2M7fcc/i.jpg

Gave it a try... No thanks sir no siree.

This feels like a final fantasy boss fight with this man just posted up on an empty room with a single chair.

...wha?
