$1000 Katana VS Metal! - Anime Cutting Challenge 

Dude this anime intro is GOLD!

Man got a whole anime opening to extra flex on us

The intro wasn’t a joke it was just a teaser for the new anime he’s making

The way he talks, the expressions and words he uses, this would make an amazingly funny and entertaining teacher 😂

The things D does for our entertainment/education. Your sword's sacrifice was worthy.

The anime intro was missing a scene of you running for no reason.

The RU-vid algorithm has finally brought me some good content this dude does all kinds of stuff and not to mention the fact he has a sick intro

The way D explains things with such a natural, nonchalant demeanor really makes me feel like a student while watching these videos. The entire vid was masterful. You have a new subscriber for sure 🔥 That anime intro was on point, too! 😂

The black weebs approve of that intro D. We also approve of the sacrifice you made for our knowledge on the Katana. You’re the truth!

fuck the intro had me ballin my eyes out, this shit is hilarious man

Dude's video production quality, choice of music and funny anime memes are out of this world, Liked & Subbed now this is excellent content!

thank you for making these videos brotherman, they are really informative and great sense of humor.

Already watched the original. Just here to like and engage.

2:39 "ive seen micro bikinis thicker than this" Damn that insult cuts deeper than this badass blade

i love these videos so much. Can you please make more katana videos? Like reviews, katana techniques, which katanas to buy, stuff like that.

This blade seems amazing. As ive trained pa-kua and ken-jutsu i was easily a bit disturbed by somethings id like you to take note, cause if you do, i assure you its gonna greatly positively impact your cutting form. The two major drawbacks that i can see yours not fully utilising the strenghs in that blade. One, is that you're focusing too much on the natural teardrop shape characteriscs of the blade for cutting, instead of actually fully sliding it to make it a no only more precise and concise cut, but spreading the impact into a larger area. And the second would be that since youre using the very tips on the blade, what you end up lacking is actually blade real space. If you stop and watch the video in slow, as i did to make sure i wasnt crazy when i saw it first time, some of your cuts didnt totally sliced tru not because you lost too much power, but because you actually tried to slide (as in softer objects we tend to do more) but you end up retracting it before youre actually done. There you have it, if you master just those two things, you'll see how thats gonna improve your cutting flow. Im sorry for my bad english in advance, this is not my mother language lol. Loved the intro btw really cool, just subbed

“Big fat chunky little handle” -Cerberusarms 2021-

Deja vu I have seen this upload before xd

The editing on these videos is just remarkable mate. You got yourself a new subscriber

Just came to this channel looking for casual katana info, but absolutely loved the anime intro and is why I subscribed that moment. Dig the channel though

I didn't realize how badly I needed a sword review channel hosted by D. Everything is super entertaining and really well done!

Experience the essence of katana with new, less choppy framerates! Only 3.99 per upload.

Dude, you're my new favorite channel. This is awesome.

Glad to be here supporting your channel! Give thanks to recommendations haha

Favorite quote of this video “I seen micro bikinis thicker than this” 😂

Really love how well previous sword content received, looking forward for more

Man, the anime intro gave me chills! Lovely stuff man. 🤗

The self-esteem of the Japanese people and their style is admirable. The opening is a show in itself!

😂 D is such a legend! That anime intro was perfect!

I feel your pain. I’d love to chop some metal like that, but can’t bring myself to. Lol though now i may have to hunt one of these down. Just knowing I’ll be in for a custom tsuka maki & saya job in advance.

The intro is an anime theme, im subbing for life.

The intro earned a sub xD great shit my dude

Lol oh man that intro, that was great! Made me think of that Raid character modeled after you.

I haven't seen quality content like that anime intro in a long time.

The cotton trick is amazing to know. Thank you very much. I once bought a sword with a loose saya and what I did was paste a thin layer of balsa wood with white glue on the base of the koiguchi, it worked perfectly but Ill keep the cotton trick in mind

i'm down with your videos mate! well done! :D

I hope one day it's a complete anime where Cerberus gets a sentient katana with a dragon soul inside (so basically the plot for Beyblade) and every battle he wins he takes people's blades and judges them at home on the Matt's and discover s the unique powers inside like the beasts then he fights through a tournament and one of the swords he claims is evil and kills his entire dojo so he gets his grandfathers dragon blade to face the anime final boss with the dementor katana and Cerberus arms dead students have become the ultimate ghost Ronin at the end all his friends are like force ghosts that died and are Ronin warriors seeking revenge in the afterlife fighting alongside Cerberus and they all have a Massive Lord Of The Rings battle in the end but the beasts all escape the swords and then it's basically Godzilla and Kong appears while the two main characters Duel then boom.... Cut to black .... Sequel

Remember when D defeated Niko in a Sword Duel with a behind the back block , those were the days

Bro the anime intro, love it Keep up the good work!

Only just came across this channel, but man you're anime riffs are so fucking spot on, I love it thank you! I tip my fedora to you my good sir

Would be awesome for you to show people how to repair a Saya using wood veneer instead of cotton for a more permanent fix. Although some katanas come with papers explaining the repair, it's something that isn't well explained in English.

You know there is a man in Japan who actually accomplished this his name is Isao Machii

Yo I love the little opening that you made 🔥♥️

ZORO ITTORYU! DAISHINKAN!!! - just found your channel and i'm already hype for every video :D

Personally im more of a longsword guy, since i am more familiar with them but still, you can not deny the beauty of the katana. Also the rich history that is intertwined with the blade is something i can really respect. Edit: I have read both josjikawa taiko and josjikawa moesasji. So i know about the samurai but im just less familiar with handeling a katana compared to a longsword.

I watched this with physical pain oof the katana

Bro added an opening that isn't needed in the slightest, but i am so grateful for

Bro the intro is so sick. I am surprised at how well the sword you have cut through the steel.

*talks shit about the case* Moments later: This is the sickest blade I have ever seen

If you're gonna cut double mats you're gonna need to start your cut below your monouchi. Starting at the nakahodo should run enough blade through the mat to slice that last layer but cutting closer to the tsubamoto should guarantee it.

Personally, I love the whole work you put behind your videos, but this one... 10, for the hilarity and commentary, alone. But my favorite... the ridiculously basic way that you replaced the sageo... ROFLMAO!!!!! Buddy, THAT is just f*cking priceless.

Bro I love ur channel lmao I trained in Kali/Arnis/Eskrima 15yrs n also just started this year in Iaido/Aikido.. naturally I came across JP swords and found u. Good stuff mang!!! 👏

I think I have my own saying that I say to myself. " A sword is as strong as the wielder" In anime, you can break a building with a few hits so, you'll be able to cut it in half with one chop. IRL, if you try to do the same then you'll break your hand so, the blade will most definitely break. Real life is not as great as the anime life, obviously.

I work with aluminum, steel, iron and stainless steel all day, every day and aluminum is super soft. I believe that aluminum is probably .024 or (24g) thick or less. Which you can bend easily with your hands. Chances of aluminum damaging your blade which is hardened steel is pretty much 0%. As for that galvanized you mentioned .01875 or (26g) is metal used for duct work and is super flimsy. There's really not much strength to the 26g or below. You can cut steel or galvinized steel up to 20g (.035) or even some times 18g (.047) with just tin snips. Steel in terms of strength only gets strong past 18g or (.047) and even then 18g considered thin by most. More than likely the only reason the steel damaged your blade is due to the fact it hit it on the top edge, if you would of rolled the top edge I bet your blade wouldn't have been damaged. Might be helpful to do in future videos if you plan on continuing to cut metal with your katakanas. Also one last thing is you may want to tighten the sheet in that man made rig of yours. Perhaps just adding some wood bolts run it through the wood then file down the tips to clamp those pieces of metal in place so they don't come off and hit you in your face. Overall the video was interesting to watch. I'm just giving positive criticism to help you improve your content. O yeah and I forgot to mention don't buy 6061 aluminum since that stuff is semi hardened. So there is a chance your katakana could be damaged from it. I would suggest getting 3032 aluminum since it's a fairly soft aluminum.

The intro and every anime plot just made this vid better 😹🔥

Amazing work D!

Question...im a cinematographer doing channel katana reviews as well, is that a moterized slider you have your camera on or is someone shooting it for you?...love the quality of your vid.

Like I was gonna say: D doesn't need an anime filter. Like Jesus he actually looks better without that anime filter. How does he even style his hair?

I was nervous at the steel sheet too. Glad the sword took minimal damage and did quite well through the aluminum and steel sheets.

That anime intro just proved to me that you're the best youtuber ever

There are several "That's what she said" jokes I could make, but...

Anyone else feel D is the protagonist and we’re just the NPCs

your editing is as pure as your kami katanas

the perfect channel for my type content

Aluminum is barely metal. You can cut aluminum with just anything.

The intro is so sick jeez dude

bro this is the best video so far on yt lmao

Anime vs reality is quite different 🥺 but I’m very impressed by you cutting the tatami Matt’s

Epic Intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😭😭😭🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Loving these videos definitely make more

I'll subscribe because your sword expertise is good. Anime intro gotme In real good. I hope you do more sword reviews and comparisons again. Your insight is real good

This intro is so cool!

The intro bro ya put that together so we’ll!

0:55 WHAT DID HE SAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

THE ANIME INTRO BUT YOU KNOW WHAT MADE ME HAPPY? That Gundam Wing Clip. EYYY

That was fun my man!

Would love to see you and Matthew Jensen do a Drunk Anime Collab.

Amazing content you have earned this sub and like fully keep it up

Bro this anime opening has made my week 😂

This katana is beautiful.the Hamon line in the blade is beautiful and I never seen it before usually it's never been that thin but amazing,the scabbard does kinda sucks if it accidentally drops

Hahah first video i ever saw of you and i love this shit imma go watch all youre other vids

Ouchy man, sorry about the blade. Love the vids

I've liked some of your videos, but I'm a subscriber after this one. I really liked your humility and willingness to show your bad cuts too. That sword looks really awesome. I personally don't like a bohi anyway and the sori looks ideal too. If you mentioned the blade length, I missed it. I tend to like longer swords, at least 29 & 1/2 inches. It really is a bummer though about the saya. I would seriously consider buying this sword if it wasn't for that. Awesome looking hamon for sure. I don't think I like that tsuba though just from looking at it. Great video, I'll be checking out more for sure.

Best anime intro!

0:34 - 1:34 1 minute of awsome anime song, music and anime scenes real life version. Anyways it was an awesome experiment and I gave a like because between seriousness, you make some fun with animes. I like this thing of your videos.

Dude U Are Inspiring Now I Want To Learn ninjutsu And Want Others To Learn It

That intro was amazing

This channel has the best intros

I felt my heart stop as soon as you hit that steel sheet, I could not ever imagine trying any of this with my Katana, mine is T10 Steel costed around $300 but to me, it's not about the cost, it's the sentimental value and connection I have with my blade.

Glad I've found this channel, new sub

you a funny dude, love the videos!

I get a good laugh at how accurate the anime intro is every time, only gripe is that it's a little shot, missing a solid 30 seconds.

holy that intro was AMAZING

Yeah, U should keep the sword videos comin.

It is so cool bro nice work

Neeed more content for sure, would love a wakizashi cut test and comparison with a euro short sword

The intro is fire

I rll like the intro and the edit was so good 👌

I'm glad you included the Cold Steel guy in your anime opening, but you missed out on having a part where you are running or stretching your outstretched hand towards the sun or a moon.

I use a Paul Chen/Hanwei Nanbokucho Zukuri as my main cutter and its an absolute beast for the price, so I can only imagine how good this one feels.
