Friendly reminder: Tanjiro can cut through a giant rock in his training session

[@Dovahkiin914]

Exactly what I was saying. Why are we trying to put real life rules into it when they’re clearly able to cut through stone dozens of episodes earlier😅

[@gumidumi4604]

he said can senami's sowrd slice through nezuko box which is wrong it should be more like stab not slice

[@brenzcarlcasas3728]

It's a fantasy cartoon series...

[@leaderwolf5756]

yup, if tanjiro can cute through a whole boulder then a box should be no problem

[@juanjosefarina]

Being able to stab a box is actually technically real. You only need more strength than the guy in the video, and being an anime, we can assume it showcases something quite real (because we can assume the character in question, don't remember his name, has way more strength than a real life person), contrary to slicing a giant boulder like Tanjiro, which sounds way improbable in real life

[@nolanwalsh5223]

Nezuko’s box is also made with a lighter wood that is probably a lot less dense

[@galaxyslayer1622]

true its not made to be strong its just to help Nezuko stay safe from the sun.

[@wdym._.]

If it was too dense then tanjiro would have some difficulty on carrying the box

[@Theuglyconcretefinisher]

That is light and thin. This is exactly like the box she's carried in. What did you expect bulsa wood

[@littletinygamer2396]

Sanemi is also much stronger than urban with the sword.

[@trelleditz82]

Also sanemi is an anime character so he has dummy inhuman strength

[@elnachomacho3451]

This only means one thing Either Sanemi was pretty strong Or His sword was pretty well made to the point it could almost cut through anything like Tanjiro’s katana (when he sliced the giant rock)

[@lukevlogsgaming2441]

Hes a hashira so he is definitely strong, the katanas are all very well made in the ds verse and the wood is lighter and most likely less dense

[@thatbloodyspy]

Also breathing technique that makes humans as strong as demons

[@wdym._.]

Or the box is less dense then we think, that makes sense just think of how tanjiro would carry a heavy and strong box with nezuko inside

[@ms.RuKiGold]

Nezukos box is made of a much lighter wood (as it needed to be carried by tanjiro) and in the demon slayer world, the type of breathing they use increases their strength by the minute. The type of physics that apply to humans in this world, do not apply in demon slayer.

[@noahswordofarms4033]

Not the pierce through plate armor it was used to. Going to the gaps of the armor that’s what are the longsword was used for

[@windrider970]

As someone that handles European swords regularly, no greatswords CANNOT pierce plate armor

[@dovagoth2880]

Thx

[@AVGyerra22]

There are no historical swords that can pierce properly made plate armor

[@Wingzero90939]

Yeah, that’s not even just considering the fact that you’re literally hitting a piece of metal against a piece of metal. The way the plates on the armor curve, it’s made to deflect blows. More than likely even if you took a decent thrust at a breast plate it would probably glance off… We even see this in the Napoleonic period when they used much thicker breast plates to stop musket fire. Yes, some of them did get direct hits, and there are dents in the armor, and some even have holes from where the musket ball hit. However, in a lot of museum pieces, you can see hits that are clearly glancing blows due to the curvature of the armor. No matter, if that is deflecting, a musketball or sword thrust.

[@mrkiky]

It's ok, the intro to this video is a speedrun of inaccuracies.

[@frizz6779]

It's not the sword , it's the strength.

sanemi's sword was made out of ores not steal and sanemi is also one of the strongest hashiras too (in the manga he was able to fight an upper moon and still live)

[@stevansanchez5788]

I'm not going to lie to you, I agree with your conclusion, but this is a huge spoiler for people who don't read the manga. Plz try not to spoil!! :)

[@zk-vd6uy]

Sword is steel but it absorbed sunlight

[@KesenaiOsore]

we dont know what it was made out of, traditionally you see after final selection they choose an ore which is melted down to a metal, however when they become a hashira they might get a more specialised sword, cuz i doubt mitsuri had that (quite unrealistic but not the point) bend whip sword since final selection, so its possible sanemi's sword was also subjected to some special treatment that is not as visible. (i haven't read the manga, so if i say something that is proven wrong in those i wouldn't know)

[@deviantsid18]

Going with the blade parallel to the grain of the wood might be easier if it’s not layered boards . Some katanas feature a beveled tip for piercing

There are actually a lot of factors on if the katana will pierce through the box. What’s it made out of? What the sword made of? How hard are you slashing? How thick is the wood? A lot of factors

[@DipermilkEditz]

Can it cut through flesh though? Asking for a friend of course.

breh its not the swords problem its the persons strengh. but ye easily.

[@justaplasmapikachu5468]

Shinzogawa's sword must be his 300th sword lmao

[@rish022]

The answer is both: Sanemi is constantly using total concentration breathing, that means he have more strength than a normal human, and also nezuko box it's light, that means less dense

[@toecheese935]

The hashira and demon slayers are also inhumanly strong and train their whole lives for sword fighting

[@hylactic]

one thing you gotta remember is urokodaki said he used a really light wood, meaning its less dense and might be easier to cut through

[@york2175]

Sanemi's muscle control is one of if not the best of all the Hashira's, dude could easily cut through a box LMFAO....does anybody remember tanjiro cut through a Boulder 🤣

[@NotSamantha_Official]

Remember... when tanjiro put the box on he is surprised to find that it is light

[@ScrewArceus]

Super strength from being the second strongest hashira, total concentration and wind breathing: "Keep going, you got this"

[@pyrow1059]

In the "slicing" trial, the dude didn't even slice he just struck the box with the sharp edge. That's not slicing

[@flameaz5209]

I just think that sanemi's katana is sharp on both sides because he askd for it

[@mintyzrin17shorts67]

You DO realize that the people in demon slayer have to train to be way stronger to cut through anything right? They even had to cut through a BOLDER to get in to the final selection. He is a Hashira meaning he was WAY stronger than Tanjiro at that point. So he IS really strong. (Edit):This isn't a hate comment in any way btw

[@my2danimations478]

Sanemi pulled it off because he is a freaking HASHIRA

[@tomhennessy7240]

It looked like in the show the blade was aligned with the grain of the wood... Probably won't make a difference, just an observation.

[@kairinase]

The box used in the demo looks more like The Ark of Covenant than Nezuko's box!

[@nicholase2868]

So wooden box beats katana, got it.

[@KevinTangYT]

There's not special about katana mechanically for cutting hard-to-cut things like plastic, wood, metal, rubber, etc. I know this is a click-baity video but it should be fairly obvious to most people the answer is "no" unless they were sufficiently thin. Against flesh and bone however, katana do its job exceedingly well. "Greatswords" you mentioned are actually longsword (although not explicitly differentiated in period) and against armor, it's usually aimed at the gaps between armor pieces rather than pierce through. Reason being you need something beefy and rigid to pierce through so energy isn't dissipated through buckling of the blade like a longsword would. Rondel, which are basically icepick dagger, are great for this. See Tod's Workshop's video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZq4ZKRoaM96jpI

[@tn1881]

Japan's Hitachi Metals developed Yasugi Specialty Steel (yasugi hagane) around 1970 by analyzing and applying tatara ironmaking and tamahagane. Yasugi Steel has the same properties as katana, so it is hard, impact-resistant, and hard to break. This special steel is used for various purposes such as cutlery steel, high-end kitchen knife material, razor material(Gillette,Schick,Wilkinson razor steel), automobile parts material, automobile engine parts, and aircraft engine parts. Japanese knives and zwilling Japanese knives are made from steels such as Blue Paper Steel (Aogami) and White Steel (Shirogami) based on Yasugi Steel.

[@ahmedarcv]

[@Mrfroggy_]

I love seeing this after a long day of school

[@loganoxendine9474]

Normal demon slayers are said to fight on par with normal demons and had to slice through a literal boulder without the use of breathing (aka katana magic) just to enter final selection. My point is yes, Sanemi is unusual jacked

[@splatboynick5149]

We also gotta out into perspective is that hashiras are strong asf

[@edi9892]

I think that you've overgeneralized quite a bit. The box was said to be made specifically to be as light as possible. This means that it was a low-density wood. If you go for the extreme: Balsa wood can be literally punched through! Also, grain direction matters. It's quite easy to split wood along the grain. The Japanese blades were also meant for thrusting. It depends on the exact blade type. The rule of thumb is that the shorter the blade is the more it was used for thrusting. Katana have quite a variety of tips, some are very much suited for thrusting (very pointy, tip reinforced). In some circumstances, Japanese-style blades can thrust better than European ones, but in others, European swords that were made for thrusting are vastly superior. A straight double-edged blade is ideal for thrusting into a body. The awl-like shape of many swords and daggers is perfect for penetrating mail with minimal effort. However, the more you push, the harder it gets as the tapering continues and the longer the blade, the more it flexes. Katana on the other hand are extremely stiff blades and once you got the tip in, there's barely any resistance. Lastly, don't judge a weapon by how it is used today! Kendo has nothing to do with Kenjutsu! Similarly, Aikido is borderline useless, but it originates from a functional martial art! However, stripped from its original context and deteriorating into a purely ceremonial art with no sparring turned it into the laughing stock it is today...

Well, Irvin doesn’t have the strength of a hashira nor the proper breathing technique. Also what works in anime usually won’t work in real life. Otherwise, this was an entertaining video and a great demonstration of your katanas 👍🏻

Tbf, sanemi has total concentration breathing which buffs his strength, so maybe that helps

[@loganmckenna3745]

Bring back the mini enma please!!! Its my favorite katana i was really hoping to get it around the holidays

[@StankayFlop]

but remember. when urokadaki made the box, it was made with a light wood

[@Huzaku]

Tanjiro has to carry that thing on his back, so probably a little bit less dense on the wood. And katanas are piecing weapons, the samurais were not "slicing" through the other samurais armor they would stab between the plates, and then drag the blade out. Its a stab and slash weapon. Also might have helped if you had something heavy in the box to keep it from moving. Also, i dont think that katana was properly sharpened. Idk if any of you have accidentally dropped a katana on a hardwood floor before, but just gravity is enough for it to have stuck in my hardwood floor about half an inch. Had he put his entire body weight behind that downward thrust, and leaned more toward the edge and not the back of the blade it would have gone through.

[@aguywhobreaths]

dont forget about tanjiro killing him with breath of nokia

[@l33tsamurai]

So three things. Samurai and European armor weigh almost exactly the same and are in fact BOTH made of metal. Samurai (indeed all Japanese armor) was made of plates of iron/steel woven together with silk and lacquered to protect from the moisture of the island. Pretty much no civilisation used leather for armor. Some tribes used thick hide shields, but wore little to no armor. Greatswords we're not meant to combat armor, certainly not piercing it, rather most were meant to combat pikes in the early gunpowder age. Armor of is not easily pierced, generally armor was overcome by going around it. Ergo the katana was not designed to slash or pierce THROUGH the armor. I mean, why wear it if it doesn't work?

[@nickacadoavacado477]

in the show sanemi is ripped out of his mind and he made it through the box with pure muscle

[@throughtheframet1330]

Well this may not be much a difference but did you have the blade going with or against the grain because the scene showed it going with the grain
