Demon Slayer, a mediocre and overhyped anime that fails to live up to its expectations. The main character, Tanjiro, is touted as a better protagonist than Deku from My Hero Academia because he knows when to repress or decapitate his enemies. However, unlike Deku who learns and grows from his experiences, Tanjiro remains stagnant throughout the series. He is portrayed as a perfect person with no flaws, making him a two-dimensional character. The side characters in Demon Slayer are just as uninteresting and lack depth. They serve as nothing more than props for Tanjiro's journey. Even the villains in the series are uninspired, lacking inner conflicts and complexity. They do not question their purpose or what they will do after their goal is achieved. The lack of depth in the characters and their development makes the story flat and uninteresting. Moreover, the world-building in Demon Slayer is awful. The rules of the world are constantly changing and are unclear, making it hard for the audience to fully immerse themselves in the story. The ending of the manga is also unsatisfying, leaving many loose ends and unanswered questions. The fact that Demon Slayer has been heavily praised and overhyped is beyond comprehension. It is an incompetently written show with lackluster characters and a poorly developed world. It does not deserve the hype it has been receiving. In comparison to other popular anime, Demon Slayer falls short in terms of storytelling, character development, and overall excitement. It is nothing more than a generic and boring anime that fails to leave a lasting impression.
Some people make fun of my face when I do Iaido😂 But it’s a proper expression called “遠山の目付け Enzan no Metsuke (farsightedness)” to be able to react to any enemy movement…! It’s not just to look serious😅
@@LetsaskShogo Is that similar to how when I learned to drive, I was taught to look where my car will be in 20-30 seconds, not 2-3 seconds, because if I'm looking into the distance I'll still see any closer objects or actions I need to react to?
@@LetsaskShogo We always learn something new from you. I can see why that is, my sensei taught me the same whend doing kendo, but never said it’s called Enzan no Metsuke
The martial arts surrounding the katana are so so so cool. The first time I saw Kendo being practiced irl it did something to me. This concentration and focus you have on your face is the same thing i saw in the trainers face that made me want to learn!
The first time I saw someone do that was when we had a friend of my Sensei visit from Japan. Turns out he had been studying Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū,.for about 20 years, after moving there from the UK.
This is honestly my favorite channel. I love learning about Nihon culture both old and modern and you do it so well. Wonderful speaking voice, great visual and identifiers, and describes topics in quick but informative ways
*This is a way that I was taught as an iaido trainee, and there are different methods depending on the ryuha style. First, hold the katana in front of you. You spin the katana in your left hand using your right hand. After spinning, you bring your right hand near your left shoulder as you make a fist. Hit the open space on the handle with your right fist, which is the movement intended to remove the blood off the blade. Hold the handle with your right hand reversed, and grab the entrance of the scabbard with the left hand you let go. Let the katana naturally spin down using its own weight, and when the katana reaches the scabbard, start sheathing. However, beginners may drop their swords, so it’s recommended to practice with an iaito (training blunt katana) instead of a real katana. If you’d like to learn more about Japanese traditional culture, Kyoto, and social problems in Japan, please check out my channel & subscribe! *The content is based on personal studies and experience There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects
I've seen a style where, after the chiburi, he put the katana/iaito on their left shoulder first before sheathing the blade. Do you know what style that is?
I would just like to congratulate thus guy, he is honest about the katana and its advantages and how to use it, I have come across far to many videos making the katana seem like a perfect undefeatable weapon. I really appreciate the simple education of these videos without any pointless flash.👍👍👍
They brought their fist to their face and kept their other handv on the heal of their katana to "verify" that everyone was dead. If they were not the handle would rattle as if it were loose.❤
Learned this watching video's of Otake san and the former 10th dan of Katori Shinto Ryu; Wouldn't say I'm a master but I've learned how to mimic and perform alot of the style, notable its flare for jumping strikes
I want to know more katana training like those. Im very learning how to handle a katana much more and their tradition making my LARP character in that japanese samurai theme more alive !

Japan having a Kata for everything is truly amazing. I love how stylish everything looks with a Kata.
Finally, I can become the storm that it's approaching
for all the weebs out there, this the only use for reverse grip
Warakiri Battousai's recent public demonstration shows otherwise. There is a stabbing kata for opponents behind you that is done via a reverse grip.
Angel has chosen to be like talkin fax machine
Reverse grip is perfectly viable with any weapon (of course reasonably, no halberds) just that holding it regularly is much better
@@LegiamasC-OnTwitta reverse grip on a lance 😎

I'm studying Muso Shinden ryu

It took a few attempts, but I have this one down now, thanks Shogo sensei
Great job!!
That left hand spin technique was so slick I didn’t even realize you turn it a full 360! I appreciate your dedication to this art.
Yo, Shogo, your videos keep getting better and better. Kudos! Can't wait to see Japan with my own eyes.
I would just like to congratulate thus guy, he is honest about the katana and its advantages and how to use it, I have come across far to many videos making the katana seem like a perfect undefeatable weapon. I really appreciate the simple education of these videos without any pointless flash.👍👍👍
I learnt this without the tutorial by observing the movements in your previous videos featuring the katana
How to spin sheath a katana
step 0: Have Money
step 1: have a katana
That movement is so sharp. Very impressive.
This looks amazing
It's just so satisfying seeing shogo so these videos
This looks so awesome and technical despite actually being pretty mechanically simple (that's not to say easy, just not complex.) Very cool.
You're sheathing has improved a lot since you met Seki Sensei! So smooth!
This man gives us motivation.
That’s actually really cool
What a coincidence I just got mine today
Thank you for the teachings
This is really helpful, thanks for posting this video
:)
Thank you I've forgotten how to do it.
Instructions unclear. My entire left forearm is now gone.
Vergil spin sheathing a Katana like a boss be like
Your videos make me want to learn how to use a Katana properly.
Thanks for the lesson. I'm gonna practice this
I'm totally gonna need this when I'm just in bed scrolling through social media mindlessly at 3 am
Relatable
It looks so smooth and clean. Wow
Thx for showing me some basic
epic!
thanks for the easy guide & explanation!
Wow!! You finally made a demo! (I remember asking about this some time last year)
Finally a use for reverse grip with a katana.
Instructions unclear, I accidentally cut a mountain in half
Got a Katana today, time to practice.
Thanks, mate.
This is so cool (: Thank you Shogo ! ❤
That’s a pretty cool sheath flourish
Imagine fighting these guys in the trenches and they’ve been doing this since birth
Man! That’s some style right there.
Respect to you, I love how you bring this to the western audience.
The sheathing looks so badass despite being simple
Certified Ghost of Tsushima moment
Kaiten Chiburi is one of my favorite re-sheathing techniques.
@LetsaskShogo, Arigatou gozaimasu! 😄
Thank you very much! Now thousands of people that don't own a katana know how to spin sheath.
man thank you for teaching
They brought their fist to their face and kept their other handv on the heal of their katana to "verify" that everyone was dead. If they were not the handle would rattle as if it were loose.❤
It's amazing how a movement that look so simple could also look insanely badass
When you accidentally slice yourself, you say, "oh sheath!"
This is my favorite move to do, and im not a martial artist.
Learned this watching video's of Otake san and the former 10th dan of Katori Shinto Ryu; Wouldn't say I'm a master but I've learned how to mimic and perform alot of the style, notable its flare for jumping strikes
Thank you Teacher shogo. Im a samurai fan and I watch your vid sometimes. Thank you.
Thanks it's so cool.
I think it's pretty beautiful watching someone dance with extremely sharp blade without injuring anyone
Awesome tutorial, thank you.
Shogo-san, thank you for the demonstration. I will look forward to learning more.
Each day Shogo becomes more and more of Vergil.
Gave me chills. Very badass
Probably my favorite method of chiburi 🤩
But how does it spin so easily
I have practiced a lot of these with my Katana. It is razor sharp. I just take it slow at first and be careful.
Thanks for teaching this
I was just rolling my wrist all this time, thanks for the info
😍 Always love your information 😍
It is true what they say: there's nothing more handsome than a capable man.
Excellent presentation!
I would like to do is the "Rengoku" Way, looks so cool, and gentle, yet powerful and respectful towards the katana.
I'm probably never going to use this information, but it's pretty cool.
Very smooth motion! Like a pro!
I do like the idea to never give up. I have been taught, and in turn, teach my students that you only fail when you give up.
This man constantly looks dead inside in his demonstrations but any other time looks and sounds so friendly
Imagine dying and the guy who killed you just does this overtly complex and immensely skillful sheath as you float to the afterlife
This is pretty much how Jin does it in ghost of Tsushima. I don’t know if you play video games but that’s one of the better ones
You look so composed
Katori Shinto Ryu's beautiful technique
I want to know more katana training like those. Im very learning how to handle a katana much more and their tradition making my LARP character in that japanese samurai theme more alive !
I don't know how to properly put this in words, but this was beautiful
Thank you for this tip
Thank you very much it helped me
My left knuckle felt like it was gonna be sliced when you turned your sword like that
You look like some important npc from Sekiro, and its awesome! loved the tutorial
Awesome job
That's so slick!
Me watching without having a katana or intending to have it 👁👄👁
Simple but really cool
Imagine breaking into this man's house and you just see him holding his katana in the dark hallway. I'd regret all my life decisions immediately
Same energy as those pre flight briefings
