I like how the 3rd guy just came out of nowhere swinging his sword.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get the blade to make that "whoosh" sound. These guys are doing it like it's nothing.

Immortal temptation Takes over my mind Condamned Falling weak on my knees Summon the strength Of Mayhem I am the storm that is approaching Provoking Black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened I am awakened A phoenix’s ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate Can't run away Keep walking the line, between the light Led astray Through vacant halls I won't surrender The truth revealed in eyes of ember We fight through fire and ice forever Two souls once lost, and now they remember I am the storm that is approaching Provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name Born in flames, I have been blessed My family crest is a demon of death Forsakened, I am awakened A phoenix's ash in dark divine Descending misery Destiny chasing time Disappear into the night Lost shadows left behind Obsession's pulling me Fading, I've come to take what's mine Lurking in the shadows under veil of night Constellations of blood pirouette Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes The puppet master congregates all the masses Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit You want this power? Then come try and take it Beyond the tree, fire burns Secret love, bloodline yearns Dark minds embrace, crimson joy Does your dim heart heal or destroy? Bury the light deep within Cast aside, there's no coming home We're burning chaos in the wind Drifting in the ocean all alone

I found it interesting when they bowed in to the sword the tsuka was pointing to the right...when they bowed out it was to the left. I never seen it to the right before. Always to the left.

I practice kenjutsu and i should say... These forms are utterly magnificent... The accuracy and precision are very beautiful... The flow is continuous. If u say that this is slow... It is made to be slow young men. If they will do that on a quick iai like in kenjutsu... U wont see the beauty of the move at all... For itll be over too soon. Iaijutsu is an art of death... Its beauty can only be shown when it cuts down enemy... Iaido is an art of decipline... And the precision accuracy and mastery of this men shows they are worthy masters.
