Ave,
By the gods what have I done. I have turned a simple question into a long drawn out and some times off topic argument.
I mean no offence by this, but the problem with most people these days is that they watch too much tv. With my friend he mostly knows the trash that animes and movies show about samurai. Thats how this hole argument started with him and I. When I go to conventions (historical and fantasy) some people ask me what I am. When I say that I am a Roman the laugh, but when some guy shows up with a katana and something resembling a samurais suit of armor everyone goes crazy over it. Marcv I must salute your knowledge and historical accruacy with your kit. It makes me sad when I see these anime (though there is nothing wrong with anime) nuts who discrace the true history of the samurai. They were men just like a Legionary and Templar.
