Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nah, they are sharp, but flimsy.

They were designed to cut-off unprotected limbs. Since iron was very scarce in feudal Japan. So metal armours weren't really a thing for the majority.

Put them up against an European sword, where they did have more pure iron ore and they will break.
