Baltimore Knife and Sword hi guys im a really big fan of you can i request for kimetsu no yaiba katana sword any of them pleaassseee
Do Jax's lamp from league o legends
Inosuke’s blades from demon slayer
Peter Pans golden sword from the movie "Hook" starring Robin Williams.
Yamato Vergil's katana Devil May Cry
Seriously, Give Ilya his own minishow where he simply talks about the history of bladesmithing and blacksmithing.
I have learned more about the japanese culture simply listening to this man then I have in all my world history classes.
Splinks dude I agree. Put him on History Channel and let him teach us about ancient weapons and armour
Yes you people know what's up we need this
You should check out the metatrons channel if you want to hear someone talk about Japanese history, cultural and the weapons they used. He's very knowledgeable and knows his stuff
@splinks Skallagrim does this
darkblaze176 I wouldn’t refer to Skall for Japanese historical weapons, he admits to having limited knowledge in that field.
"...otherwise it will trigger his PTSD, and he will become a maniac killing everybody." That is.... a weirdly efficient description
Ruroruni Kenshin is heavily about PTSD. He has just about every telltale sign of PTSD except for listlessness. You can see signs of it in the OVAs as well, like how even when asleep he's ready to kill.
came across some kids who is just now getting into Samurai X. told them Kenshin has PTSD, and this one kid said "he's like my dad"
It actually had nothing to do with ptsd, it was his way of atoning for the things he did as an assassin. He made a promise to his wife upon her death that he would not die an assassin, and commissioned the Sakabato because he knew his skills were still needed
SikKlownInk assuming the two can’t coexist is pretty narrow minded
i laugh hard when he said that
Wow I was so surprised to see that he made a katana by Japanese traditional way. In other foreign TV show, they often make katana by western way using western tools. They just made western swords the shape of which is katana.
But you are different.
I respect you a lot from Japan.
Thank you.

And someone told me to "test my Japanese elsewhere." I speak it fluently, but I don't know anyone else who knows it irl. And of course I'm not going to look up a grammar guide on romaji. I've been speaking this language fluently for 14 years. And I taught myself purely by memory ALONE. Of course I don't know the correct grammar. Nor do ii care to. I just did it so I could prove I could. So many people acted like I was crazy because my methods were unorthodox, but part of the reason I watch anime in the first place is because I'm a genius, so I relate to the OP characters in quite a real way. My IQ is so high I can't measure it with a standard test, and if I get to the Mayo clinic I'll be able to test it correctly. Of course my methods are unorthodox. I'm an autistic savant! Like rainman, but real. Did he strike you as conventional? People ridicule that which they don't understand, and that's why autistic people like being around autistics in particular. I met a guy at the bar that was 63 and I'm 28. Spoke to him a full hour and had the time of my life. Guy had been a college professor before, and he has asperger's syndrome like me. There were less than ten things he mentioned I hadn't heard of, and the two of us spoke for a full hour. 35 years of experience gap and we were evenly matched in intelligence. That should show you the truth.
Moron, the curvature of a real katana is done when it is tempered not by hammer.
EliosMoonElios actually, it depends on the build. Sure, a lot of the curvature comes from the tempering, but the blacksmith can also adjust the amount of curvature depending on the client's request. Sometimes the metal may curve too much or not curve enough, so it's only right for the blacksmith to adjust it. Besides, the sakabato isn't a traditional katana, so Ilya's method of putting in the curve prior to the quench makes sense.
@@EliosMoonElios In this case, he had to. The curvature comes from how the edge of the blade is insulated versus the spine. So in the tempering process in this case, since the edge is on the backside of the sword, the blade would start bending in the opposite direction.
seeing the sword at the end complete almost brought tears to my eyes. Rurouni Kenshin has been a prominent part of my life for nearly 19 years, it seems to be fading in modern media nowadays, so seeing this now really moved me. Beautiful work.
There's a new anime coming out
I am Japanese. I was able to see the image of faithfully making the sword's opposite sword. I am very loyal and happy about how to make a Japanese sword. Please keep doing a good job.

In-depth blacksmithing, detailed craftsmanship and a history lesson. By far my favourite Man-at-Arms episode to date!!!
The Broke Builder you are so right
Absolutely!
Agree
Mine as well
agree
"Rurouni Kenshin" is my absolute fave Anime series! Thank you for making his famed Sakabattou and giving a detailed history! And the "crazed maniac" form of Kenshin is his infamous "Battousai" state, where he reverts back to when he was a Hitokiri ("Assassin") during the Bakumatsu days. If no one has watched this series, I HIGHLY recommend it! It's an older Anime, but it's amazing on many levels. To watch, do so in this order:
Samurai X: Trust
Samurai X: Betrayal
Rurouni Kenshin Season 1
Rurouni Kenshin Season 2
Samurai X Movie
Rurouni Kenshin Season 3
Samurai X: Reflection
Hope you enjoy the series, and, once again, thank you guys SO MUCH for doing this!
I think you´re wrong or disoriented, season 3 is filler, you have to read the manga, have a nice day
@@misterhimura036 The Manga also has Sano fighting Shishio with a Zanbattou, but guess that doesn't matter?
Pretty much anything in the main line series after episode 60 is all filler. Even then in all honesty I'd recommend just reading the manga. Though Trust, Betrayal and Reflection are pretty good to watch on their own. As both Trust and Betrayal are fairly accurate to that part in the manga.
@@Archangelglenn I know, but still prefer the Anime.
@@hippyman698 Ah well to each his own I suppose. I will always prefer the manga to the anime, mostly. I do love Trust, Betrayal and Reflection. Ironically I saw Betrayal YEARS before I ever saw Trust. Some of the events in Reflection cover the Jinchuu arc of the manga and do a decent job of it. Though the final part of Reflection(the new material) jumps forward another ten years after where the manga for the series ends as well. I liked it myself personally
This has got to be one of the most educational and beautiful builds I have been witness to. Thank you. The history in this for Kenshin's blade was spectacular.
It's always so awesome to see how much Ilya loves the anime/manga he's working from. He adds so much flavour and information. You can tell he truly loves the Japanese art of sword making.
DaVeganZombie I wish he had his own channel where he talked about making swords and the history behind them.
Well... he kinda fucked up all the story points regarding Kenshin's and his sword back story, so.... meh. The sword is cool though.
DaVeganZombie he’s a weeabo.
I came here to comment this. You can just hear in his voice how much he loves doing these
knowyourmeme.com/photos/38812 i doubt he is a weeb.
I love how they put some of that history in here. It adds to the whole craft so much. I love you guys.
I know they are quite amazing on how they combine traditional methods to modern day crafts. Plus Japanese history is so unique and learning how blades are made is fascinating! Great Job Blacksmiths!
Tbm acho ^^
during the sword using portion at the end, I wish instead of cutting Titami wraps and fruit, they would have used the blunt edge on dummies with bone analogs to demonstrate the way Kenshin fights his foes without killing them, by breaking bones.
I am so impressed at how deep Ilya's knowledge about Japanese history and their classic katana forging technique
When I saw Kenshin in the thumbnail I actually gasped. I've wanted to see this sword for so long!
Melo me too!
For real!!! Same!!!
Me too I've been asking forever glad to see it finally happen
same
Melo The live action Rurouni Kenshin film has a very beautiful sakabato.
Before you request more builds, take some time to appreciate their efforts and hardwork in their builds
Thanks for doing these builds Man At Arms team!
Good 'Ol T.H. here model user
Definitely
Really impressive. Stunning work.
Ridin there nuts a lil to hard eh?
Erl Cabie Hell yeah. This should be closer to top comment
although i've never watched samurai x and honestly only clicked on here because i am a japanese sword martial artist and enjoy seeing people giving the katana and other japanese swords a little love and care, anyways i saw reverse katana and was interested. i really appreciate seeing the traditional methods being executed perfectly. have absolutely loved the couple of katana/various samurai style blades i've seen
What a masterpiece, thank you for making something from this legendary series
That sword is Legendary. Any fan of Rurouni Kenshin probably got chills when they showcased it
DBZ Guru Yup
And yet my heart sank and my rage ignited when I saw the *first* thing they show with it is.... *EXACTLY WHAT IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO DO* . The reverse blade is not the sword of the Hitokiri Battousai's Weapon meant to *cut* things and people in half, No, it's the sword meant to protect at the cost of one's self.
Crafts Legendary Item.... *immediately* uses it for the opposite of it's intended goal.....
IT IS SO NOSTALGIC! this sword is a Legend! one of my favorite anime of all time. this guys TOTALLY put it all together and their effort was superb.
dementare you forget it slays all that isn’t human
@@dementare EXACTLY!!! I was SO excited to see that they actually made it but they go straight to using it as a cutting weapon which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Himura Kenshin used it for SMH
Ilya is just Hephaestus livin' his best life amongst the mortals.
im convinced hes a god or from another planet
😂😂😂
are you sayin ilya is ugly?! Lol jk 😂😂
I can neither confirm nor deny your claim, mortal. But it pleases me none the less.
You sayin' Hephaestus was a weeb? Because I hope you're saying that. That would be cool.
As many times as I’ve rewatched all the episodes and especially this one, one of my favorite things is always the scabbard. Something about that charcoal texture one it just intrigued me so much
Ever since I saw his sakabatō as a kid I’ve been obsessed with it, thanks for making it!
As a fan of manga and anime, I can't describe how happy seeing this makes me! Rurouni Kenshin was one of my favorites growing up and seeing the Sakabato come to life honestly made me a little teary-eyed.
Same here. Rurouni Kenshin is definitely a classic along with DBZ, Deathnote, JoJo, etc.
Yessss when he started explaining the history that is beautifully merged into the story, my heart fluttered.
HA! weeb
Fr
God the memories of Ruruoni Kenshin is just so fuckin nostalgic, def makes me sad that the anime didn't finish
I need a minute. .... I am overwhelmed with emotion watching this build. The amount of respect, care, and consideration for the traditions and history of the era, and manga had been represented in the creation of this blade. I have waited for this so long I started crying midway through, as silly as it sounds. A huge fan of the series, and so excited to have seen this blade done justice. Thank you from the bottom of my nerdy fan girl heart.
I don't think you'll find a group of smiths so respectful of the history, culture, and fandom surrounding each and every build. Not easily at least
Could you take just minute to explain what this is or drop a link here so I can look this up. I'm lost:) but I want to learn!!!
kenshin.wikia.com/wiki/Sakabat%C5%8D#Sakabat.C5.8D_Shinuchi
MajiOblivion There is a sakabato in Japan. Master Swordsmith Kanekuni Ogawa actually forged a sakabato using all traditional techniques. Plus, it has the exact poem by Arai Shakku similar to the one in the liv action movie Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno. The sword is displayed at the Meijimura complex in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture. There is another sword given to Satoh Takeru when the last two of the live action movies wrapped last month (or 2 months ago). The last two movies will depict Trust and Betrayal OAV and the Jinchuu arc.
Bro chill out. Attention seeking much???
GO ! Shishio Makoto FIRE Sword Mugenjin
+1 for the idea👍👍👍.
Nice
Everything done so traditionally ,so beautifully, excellently done, so happy.
Amazing. I love it when you guys do historical concepts and give a ton of information.
Skyanimal Certain animes you watch are actually based on their historical backgrounds which is why i love watching them bcoz i learn some too give it a try its fun to watch
Thats what I love about it as well.
He got the year wrong. The katana prohibition laws started in 1873 not 1817
this is better than i could've imagined, way to pay tribute to an ancestry that isn't your own. Ilya the world's only true Russian Japanese Sword Smith
TheRegret
Indeed
Ilyas skill is beyond my mind
hes having a good time while making it i can see that
i wish he did carve his name on the tang...
You do realize that Russia and Japan have shared a border for a really long time, right? And that the Ainu people exist? They would count as 'Russian-Japanese' and I'm fairly certain they've been sword-smiths.
I love Ilya man, but c'mon, don't be ignorant.
The amount of dedication, hardwork and efforts you guys put in making the katana is just mind blowing 🥰 it was just so awesome✌️
I just love the fine balance of perfect craftsmanship and danger forging blades has
Ilya definitely is fan of the show/manga and you can clearly see how much it means to him
cool username i think it too... love that
He hated all the requests they were getting for it, until he finally watched the series.
me too i’m a big fan of the anime! y’all should go and watch it if you haven’t yet it’s really worth watching!
Yet he still used a traditional scabbard instead of Kenshin's iron saya.
did he really? any source to that i'd love to read a bit about it.
The Legends actually did it! Finally! the great reversed edge blade!
World Man sure hope ManAtArms build gohan's first sword
Ron Butner
Yeah man. I'm looking forward for that too.
This is EPIC on so many levels! Pure eye feast and absolute enjoyment! Woww!!
Thank you for such great content!!!
the attention to detail is insane, not just with the sword but even with the anime's lore. amazing art.
this video was extra. really appreciated the extra background explanations for a deeper insight on the build
"Ilya explaining the heck out of japanese swordmaking" are my favorite episodes! I love how passionate Ilya is about these projects :D
I love the education you get while watching the piece being created. Very cool channel!
I have seen this so many times. It’s my absolute favorite. This is the top of man at arms
That was an amazing episode...Illya's knowledge has always been so impressive along with his sword making skills...you made an absolutely beautiful sword there
I loved the little history segments in between about techniques and why they did it that way :)
Always nice to hear
@@MADhorseKD
It definitely adds great insight to the era and what they did at the time
Are Kenshin this is one of my favorite series I love the sword that have made
Wait this made me wonder a bit, while Illea was making the tsuba? (Hilt) He said “I’ll be using a jewelers saw and a drill, this is a very traditional technique.” I know that a drill isn’t traditional, so what would they have used traditionally?
@@riviere6273 maybe a hand drill, there where a few different types of manual drills in Japan during that era.
I keep throwing money at my screen but the sword did not appear..... please fix
Lol
Damn this was funny lol
This ain’t autism this is pure retardation
Alright look you need a new phone because when i did it my sword appeared i don't have another explanation
i think thell fix it on next patch
For some reason it is so relaxing to watch you folks make weapons. 👍
Truly a beautiful sword a lot of Japanese sword makers would be proud and the fact you built it the traditional way shows the pride you put in your work good job
This was a beautiful video! I don't remember ever seeing so much of Ilya and I loved it. His passion for the craft is beyond extraordinary. What a beautiful video!
when he did the Hattori Hanzo sword form Kill Bill, he did it with traditional metods, so this Sakabatō is a sequel from that video, because it was very focused in the forging of the blade.
@Hector Manuel Elias Oliver Check out the Excalibur video. Over there Iliya becomes God.
I will check it out! Thanks
Damn, I will see it right now
I'm so Glad Ilya was on Forged in Fire. Was a great showcase of his skill and I love watching his Passion and Knowledge of the art of Blacksmithing. You guys made me confident when speaking to others about weapons. So much so I started Blacksmithing myself. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others Baltimore Knife and Sword and Tony Swatton and the whole Man at Arms crew and AWE me Channel. You guys rock.
what episode was this
season 2 episode 4 (I googled it for you."forged in fire ilya")
The judges keep saying that is wrong this wrong, Ilya just say watch me. And he won.
Found a VHS copy of the first couple season when I was 6 in an old run down thrift store and it changed my life forever absolutely love Kenshin 😩❤️
The skill level to do this is unbelievable thank you for the amazing video.
Who else thought this was the most informative episode they have done?
I think it is a tie with the Ulfbert episode. Both of them are fantastic episodes!
Was a very cool build, would love to own something so interesting and unusual but important to history.
It's on par with their other historical and semi-historical builds. Hell, any episode where Ilya leads the project is bound to have history lessons
DeLEET Titan Thats true and that Why ilya is my favorite
The making of this weapon along with the historical context provided brought man tears to my eyes. Thanks for this wonderful episode.
Ilya really, really is a generational talent. Honestly it’s astounding
he is a westerner showcasing an appreciation of the traditional work of the katana. The details he puts in were mind-blowing. great knowledge and superb skills. Thank you for this great content.
the quality of production of both the video and the weapon in this episode are way higher than your usual video, great work guys.
Imagine the blacksmith who made Batosai's reverse sword without that kind of technology we have now, and it's just him, blacksmith those days were legends
Master swordsmith Kanekuni Ogawa actually forged a sakabato using all traditional techniques. The sword is displayed at the Meijimura complex in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture. There is another sword I,reckon the shinuchi, given to Takeru Satoh when the last two of the live action movies wrapped last month.
And those legends make sets of swords back then.
His name was Shaku Arai
@@rumblefish9
You did the research.
I learned a lot from your statement.
whereas the the scythe has a legitimate purpose, despite it being wielded the "grim reaper" and that's to? Collect handful's of grain stalks in one hand while cutting them with the other. The curve brings an amount close enough to grip in one hand while the hand that wields the scythe collects it for the other and doesn't cut until the bunch is gripped.
You guys knocked it out of the park with this one I really love the extra detail you put in the video 👌
I love this anime's the character's story, the difficulties he goes through, and the fights in the manga are incredible
this is literally the only thing I've been waiting for on this series since the OG MaA. I can die peacefully now
HoneyReno there’s one last one for me before i can leave peacefully, i’m hoping they will make cloud strife’s all 7 individuals, which it will make it a buster sword once assembled!
damieN that would take them forever to make
😂
My only comment on this channel was about 5 years ago; I asked for this sakabatō. Thank you very much, it was absolutely worth having waited.
Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you guys so much for doing Kenshin's reverse blade! I've been a big fan of Kenshin since it came out! I was hoping after watching you do Tanjiro's blade that you would do Kenshin's, it was amazing to watch!!! Thank you guys so much for bringing that part of my favorite anime do life!!
Started watching rurouni kenshin again andnhsd to rewatch this, such amazing work
Hands down the best video I've seen from you guys yet. I truly dig watching Ilya work. Less plasma and sanding, more Ilya!
This is by far one of the sickest builds ever. The sword of the legendary man slayer has been one of my personal favorite weapons on anime ever
This puts a smile on my face
That was fantastic! This is the first episode I’ve seen and I’m so happy I came across it for the reverse blade
I found the wikipedia page on Japanese Sword Mountings to be required reading for watching this video and understanding all the parts they were talking about lol. Very awesome video and build, very in-depth and impressive.
Thtas just par for the course in Iilya leads the project
If you watch the HATTORI HANZO build, you’ll get the gist of Japanese swordsmithing.
Easily one of the best episode !! Thank you for improving the show.
There's an ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION at the end where it shows how the sword cuts. I respect that. You have my like and favorite. 🤔🥲👍👍😯❤️🎈👌🥳
your knowledge and skill already blow my mind but the hard work, dedication and precision of you work have my respect. absolute master class work
I really like the fact that you guys honor the traditional ways of making katana. Keep these awesome contents up!
Wrong, the real katanas are straight before cooled, in the cooling is when the katana get the curve shape, the low quality metal body sink more than the high quality edge, is impossible to make a real reversed katana.
Wanted to say this, cause its right. This is not how you make a real Japanese sword and I am surprised how many people don t realize it.
I think thats why they had a pre curved blade before the final heating for the curvature. This a unconventional sword built in traditional way (although not all steps). Why so much salt then?
are you even listening? the reverse edge has unique way of cooling method coz of the reverse edge itself....commonly the blade is straight 1st then when cooled..it bends a little bit coz of the cooling process and the difference of the metal's mud insulation....the spine cools fasters thats why its shrinks, thus causing its natural curve..but in the reverse edge's case...its diff....the spine is in the front...so if you dont bend it from the start...it will bend forward .the sword will look like a scythe not a katana..
[Fade Phantasm ]
Is not that easy, changing the mud from the edge to the body not reverse the process, body and edge are made with different metals and the body metal sink way more than the metal in the edge.
Been asking for this in the comments since season one 😭. I’m so happy this was the anime that got me into anime. The manga was amazing as well. Great job guys, you can really tell when you guys are excited about a build by the amount of info you share with us all. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love it.
You are all a bunch of nerds who also happen to be badasses at something in life!
Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much. The details were amazing. Thanks for the history. You all are amazing
if this was an anime, you guys will be the legendary swordsmith
Shut up nerd

@NZT KING Jezuz what is up with the hate? U gonna comment to hate? Well you better step out now buddy
U dont want any fights from me);>
CherrX Music I think I do tho😪🤭
awesome video, history and weaponsmithing lessons at the same time. final product didnt disappoint!
Man, i wish there were swordsmith's in Japan who were as open and passionate as you are about sharing your knowledge. Thanks guys!
"...otherwise it will trigger his PTSD, and he will become a maniac killing everybody." That is.... a weirdly efficient description
Finally my fav Anime Character of all times and having his sword made......AWE me G.O.A.T
Always both a pleasure and an honor to watch Ilya make a katana or anything that puts his wide array of skills to good use for all of us to enjoy. You truly are a master at your art good sir.
This was so amazing! Kenshin is my favorite and watching your smithing was awesome!
I've watched this before. Just rewatching after seeing the RK series again.
This vid never fails to impress me.
I HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK when the hell did they make a remake of Kenshin
Few years ago, but it was only a remake of the Kyoto arc
SilenTHerO78614 ima have to give it a watch one of these days thank you
it was published on 20 Aug 2018
Wish it had the shishio and the cristian weirdo
They still have an upcoming two part movie so dont worry.
Wanted to thank you guys! I requested this years ago with the first group of people doing this show. This was my first Anime with Samurai X and manga for Ruroni Kenshin! I finally get to watch this be made! Now I want one !
Even if it was made 2 yrs ago I'm still so happy as a rurouni fan in 2020🥺🥺🥺thankyou
i just found this channel and i never knew i needed this
this is such a beautiful sword and it's only fitting you talk about Japanesse history in this episode, only Kenshin could make me love learning foreign history as a kid, more than my own country's.
This was a complex build for me to watch as someone who was a hardcore fan of the manga and the anime. Its the kind of complex feelings you get from watching your dreams come true in a way you could have never imagined possible. Its moving to see this being especially with all the circumstances that are now attached to the Ruroken franchise in recent years.
Hey! Curious, what are those circumstances??
Nihilum someone still read the new hokkaido ark?
i am reding it and i personally dont care about the author
Weeb
Dug Pet 😂😜
I don't understand.
Something happened to the manga author?
I love how detail on they way you guys making all the weapon specially katana part.
Rurouni Kenshin's subplot about Japan's lost to WW2 is pretty poetic. Kenshin being a symbolic representation of Japan, having a dark past that he deeply regrets, trying to move forward in life.
I'm so glad you guys focused more on the details, that's the stuff that really interests me. I really think you guys should build the sacred sword from Shadow of the Colossus
Learned a lot about Japanese sword smith history.
I watched the live action movie of this anime, I love that you guys mention facts from the anime, manga, and rl history!! You guys are amazing.
The reverse-bladed katana reminds me of the Dacian/Thracian Falx. If you're holding the sword with forward-curved edge in front, it adds to the slashing power overall. Ingenious.
I can see my whole childhood comes back to me as you guys explain the originality of the blade
You... You made it. You made the bloody rain fall.
-Tomoe to Kenshin
BOI WHY YOU DO THIS
Oh man that is the closest perfect Ito wraping I've ever seen.
Oh man and the traditional format of making the katana is at 100% for me I don't know about other people but it satisfy me the most.
I found this channel because of Rurouni Kenshin/ I like how the sword smith is familiar with the plot of the anime and appreciates the symbolism of the sword.
You guys won't believe how excited I get when I watch your works and videos. YOU ARE AWESOME
I am brought to tears by this episode's beauty, that I am!
"that i am" hahaha a nice Kenshin pull there :)
haha, do you know where i can watch the latest rurouni kenshin? the one that was shown in this episode. Im currently watching the original series, but i cant find the 2017 continuation.
Is it wrong that I thought he pulled the giant hamster from Overlord at first? XD
(I haven't watched Samurai X in a while.)
@Ranferi Mondragon Hamusuke is the best samurai xD
@Ranferi Mondragon That is what I thought as well, as I have yet to actually watch any incarnation of Rurouni Kenshin. I will assume that Himura Kenshin-san speaks in a similar manner as the mori no ken-ō.
I love Rurouni Kenshin!! Thank you for making Kenshin's reverse blade!
This episode actually made me watch kenshin, and I sincerely thank you for that.
I hope you got the good dub lol the hulu dub is laughable almost parody like its so literal
One side: the wanderer who protects the people around him.
Other side: Battousai The Manslayer.
Both sides: badass samurai

The undefeated swordsman and a known kensei in Japanese history whose school taught simultaneous attack and defense. A man and beast of legend.
Just one word: AMAZING.
I always wanted to see this done. Thanks guys.
