Oh, so that's the reason. He use a lot of strength in his attacks, specially in his left-handed thrust. The sword was a wooden one, so it was very weak to endure all the power. At that time I thought it was a real sword so I thought "Holy sh*t, that guy have a lot of strength to break the katana in his enemy's shoulder". And, on a side note, I'll always love that short battle between Kenshin with Mad Enhancement (Battousai :P) and Saito in the dojo. After lookin that scene, always wanted to see a final battle between those two without being interrupted by someone else. A bloody, bloody battle.

So modern methods are capable of create better sword than those created by traditional methods, however they are used mainly to produce decorative swords, right? So even if today's method CAN do a great thing, they aren't doing it because the swords aren't used anymore.

To be honest, I've always thought that it was a great mistake for human growth to discover and create gunpower. In my humble opinion, there is some kind of... philosophy, let's say, behind the weapons. Anyone can use a sword, yeah, but not anyone can do a good use of a sword. We can't say the same with the guns. Anyone can use a gun knowing very little about it, and do a lot of harm with it. I thought there was some kind of... art behind traditional weapons (sword, spear, bow, etc). You needed to practice a lot. It wasn't just "aim at your opponent and fire your arrow", you needed more than that. I don't know if I'm explaining correctly. xD If we see past wars and battles, and modern wars and batles, we can only quote Snake's words: "war has changed".

Ah! Revengeance, right. That's what I was trying to say talking about Metal Gear Rising. My top 5 in MGS characters is Big Boss, Raiden, Otacon, Snake and The Boss. And, as a fan of Raiden, I liked Revengeance's game even if it wasn't at the same level as other Metal Gears. It was interesting, and even if I didn't liked at first the idea of see Raiden fighting (because at the end of MGS 4 he said something about leaving that thing and be with his family), the game was good enough to let us see a new character development. And well... the explanation behind the game was right: it's surely hard to find a job in McDonald or a bank while being a killing machine.

But wait, what's that video? They are going to do a MGS 3 HD rework just like Square Enix will do with FF7? That was Konami's better idea after kicking Hideo's ass out of the company?
