To be fair, Okita Souji's kimono/hakama clothing is just a disguise. I'd also fuck the shit out of her too.

On a different note, I'm fucking appalled at how many of you niggers don't know about >>139905789 and >>139901613

Technically, the katana loses out. However, Okita Souji possesses sword techniques that are unavoidable. So I'm torn.

>>139902452
Half swording isn't just about getting through armor gaps, it's about shortening your reach, which is advantageous in places where reach is restricted (like in a hallway or dense forest).
>>
>>139907979
It also isn't about hitting with the hilt like anons early were talking about. You still cut with the blade end.
>>
>>139907977
It's a fact that the zweihander was an inferior sword that german mercenaries carried around because it was their trade mark. Every cavalry sword in the 15th & 16th century was superior in construction and combat.
>>
>>139908081
Still better than nip steel.

>>139907937
Mordred Alter would be the best Saber.

>>139901268
>left

I can't believe they made someone who's too retarded to hold a sword right fight.
>>
>>139908125
No. The katana was the pinnacle of japanese swordsmithing. It's a sword used by a warrior elite to kill other members of the same elite. The zweihander was a fashion statement.
>>
>>139908030
Well yeah, that's like sword 101: stick them with the pointy end. Trying to beat somebody wearing armor into submission with the pommel strikes me as retarded. Unless, like, you're giving yourself a handicap where you can only beat the guy using the least efficient means.
>>
>>139908218
>people still wanking the katana this much
Japanese iron was of inferior quality. Most of It'd be classified as pig iron in Europe. They had to go through this elaborate process of folding and refolding the metal in order to get steel that was actually passable and not brittle as fuck. Even then katanas are prone to snapping and chipping when they cut anything except flesh or rolled up tatami mats.

It's not like the average steel weapon in Europe was much better, but the finest steel weapons in Europe are so, so much better than anything Japan ever produced it's not even a contest. Though it's sort of cheating since Europeans were able to trade for Damascus Steel to make their finest weapons.
>>
>>139908395
>It's not like the average steel weapon in Europe was much better
Pretty sure even the average soldier's weapon was much better than that flimsy Japanese shit.
>>
>>139908555
Actually not really. At least not in the medieval period. The swords were less brittle but had numerous other problems, like bending and dulling easily. If we're talking design though, yeah European swords are generally much sturdier because the katana is just designed to be brittle. True they are very sharp and can hold a very fine edge for a very long time, but that's about all they're good at.

Both. Left for my cute girls killing poor peasant games. Maybe some sort of 100 year war Jeanne D'Arc equivalent, and right for a during/post sword reform alt history game. We are talking about which we'd rather play as a character, right? Do you even fun party dynamics?
