[quote=@Sombrero] But "science" has proven that samurai can kill vikings in all combat instances! Nevermind the fact that those tested weren't even half the weapons that either one of them used and that they pit a single elite feudal commander up against a single standard military unit! Samurai, Ninjas, and Shaolin are the best and the only Asian warriors to ever exist in history! Mongols, Chinese knights, and Korean sailors are mere Hollywood inventions that were all inferior in every way! Japan conquered all of Asia during the medieval times because they were so unequalled in war! [/quote] Preach it, brother! We shall strike like darting dragons with pure Nippon steel teeth and cut asunder the feeble armors of all that oppose us! Hint: Yeah, Sombrero's not being serious at all. I think he's talking about Deadliest Warrior, where pseudo-science (if it's even that) was used to determine that a Viking would lose to a Samurai in a 1v1 fight. The katana was shown on that episode to be unable to do any significant damage to chainmail... because that's not what Japanese swords are designed to cut. And apparently Vikings don't use bows, but instead hurl super huge spears or something. I forget the details, but the TL;DR is that Sombrero was joking and Deadliest Warrior is really, really silly. Extraordinarily silly. Great warriors and great fighting techniques came about all over the world.
