lmao

Try saying that again after I whack you with my cast iron frying pan.

The funny part is that Japanese swords were folded several times to spread the impurity of the metal and make them less fragile due to how shitty japan's metal was.

Europeans had the same metal avaliable but no one considered using it for warfare due to how shitty it was. And the europeans also knew the folding techniques but had no use for them due to having good material to use.

You forgot to mention how the villain suddenly got ED dysfunction.

Unironically one of the worst anime I've ever seen but it seemed right up my alley along side shit like ZnT and Shana when I first found it.

cringe

based!

Imagine being so delusional that you'd think that nips with their katanas could stand a chance with european with regular longsword. Weebs are actually subhuman.

LMAO my fucking sides, no way this is real.

ikr stupid weeb LOL

Nippon kanata, that's how.

Which way do i read this?

Cuck, go suck other men's semen if you want used goods.

This is 100% bullshit. There was never rape in the LN.

It's so fucking insane that this misinformation has persisted for years.

Rent free.

>Posting the post retcon LN

>only remember something that never actually happened

Is the biggest case of the Mandela Effect on Yea Forums?

Actually, it's abnormal how ignorant Yea Forums is in general about Seiken no Blacksmith. I bet no one but me even knows what even happens in the LN.

There is no "Pre-Retcon LN", that is literally a myth propogated in western communities.

You can't even prove it exists so you should just concede now.

>thinking anyone has a chance against folded nippon steel

What was so bad about it, though? The anime version wasn't terribly good but I couldn't possibly say it was even all that bad either.

Nobody produces iron swords via mould, not even Japs with their trash sword-making.

this is a good manga, honestly

In this setting, they stopped forging swords and just mass produced them from molds because it was cheaper. Of course, that makes them quite brittle and shitty, but everyone knows that no regular sword is a match for a demon sword anyway. The katanas that Luke makes are made from spirit infused steel so they are able to stand up to spirit energy released from demon swords, it's implied that you could make other kinds of swords this way but the folding technique was necessary to make it viable.

>In this setting, they stopped forging swords and just mass produced them from molds because it was cheaper.
Christ

I barely remember the show honestly, it's been 10 years. I just remember having really low standards at the time and I still hated it.

>there's no such as the magically "good" iron ore
Except that's not what they're fucking talking about you retard, and that's not something Japan has at all you retard, they have terrible to work with ironsand.

>mass produced them from molds because it was cheaper
No one is that fucking retarded.
The only excuse is if they have no other choice but then they wouldn't be making swords if that is the case.

Damascus was layered. Ancient Celts would twist the metal and the hammer it flat essential folding it.

This is an anime/manga board, this should've been from right to left.

Don't bring a frying pan to a swordfight though.

Most of the pre-war blacksmiths are probably dead and a cheap molded swords were considered "good enough" for normal use, but no regular sword was going to be useful against demons anyway no matter how well it's forged.

It's mostly about managing the carbon content actually, at least once the crude impurities are gone.

I mean, with semi-modern technology and metallurgy as well as great care you can use a mold for the crude work, but it still leaves a shit-ton of grinding, sharpening and polishing to be done, just like with a forged sword.
Considering the skills and care needed to make a good sword that way it's about the same as basic forging, effort wise.
Forging can make use of lower quality metal than a cast does, too.

That's what I mean, at that point just stop making swords, swords are for self defense, not group fighting.

True, the depiction is skewed in modern media anyway.
Swords are a backup weapon, with the exception of a Zweihänder, which plays a niche role.

I thought so too, but it's been forgotten by Yea Forums because it isn't a shonen, harem, or isekai series.
