Something feels really off about this whole thing. I mean, one of the biggest katana movies on this side of the pond was [i]Highlander[/i], but only 9 years later, the definitive movie about actual Highlanders came out, and Braveheart wielded a Claymore. It smells a bit like the illuminati prefers European swords to me, which must mean that Katanas are better sheerly from a moral standpoint. Katana wielders obviously would have a resistance towards this obvious subliminal messaging...

There's also the Crusades between 1096 to 1487. They were fought with European Weapons as well and is considered to be aligned with (grossly assuming) God.

The flip side of Katanas would also be the cursed sword Masamune.
