If you were a samurai warrior, what would you name your sword?

Jcomp · Apr 8, 2010

And what would be your introductory speech before fighting / felling an opponent?

I'd name my sword Weeping Reaper, aka The Ghost of Broken Blades, aka Clarence.

I think I'd open a fight with something like, "My sword grieves for you, but will mask its tears with your blood. That which does not stain the blade, the earth will imbibe! Look upon your future and despair, for it is fleeting!"

Alternatively, I'll just channel Michael Keaton as Batman...

"You wanna get nuts! Come on! Let's get nuts!"

Now... who here in AW dares face me? Name your sword, frighten me with your challenge, if you are so brave...

I already am a samurai warrior. (Shh...don't tell my mom)

My sword's name is shisou, which means "Shadow of Death" in Japanese. :evil

I'd name mine Binky, because that's the name that always pops to mind for these things.

Bink! I just chopped off your arm. Bink! There goes your head!

Awesome. Although, hell, "Midnight Star" would be a pretty cool sword name itself. I'm presuming that's the name of your secondary, smaller blade.

How'd you guess?

Err . . . I don't think they named their swords.

Wicked · Apr 8, 2010

My sword's name is Sally.

. . . much to the horror of my eldest, who thinks swords should have dignified names. :Shrug:

I don't think they let bald black guys be samurais either... just roll with it!

KTC · Apr 8, 2010

I'd name my sword God and I would just yell, "Meet your maker!"

They probably wouldn't let Americans be samurais...

Ken · Apr 8, 2010

... would name my sword "Sparingly," to remind me that I should only kill when necessary. My saying would be: "My apologies blessed Creator up above for seeking the elimination one of your earthly creations. Needs be done, though. This miscreant has done wrong onto their fellow man and justice must be carried out. So be pleased to direct my saber at its intended target and allow me to make quick business of this matter."

Heck, I once was sitting with a friend named Sam and asked the other people in the room, "Who do you like better, Sam or I?" and a team of ninjas broke in and reprimanded me harshly for even using a rough compound homophone...

"Hi, boys and girls!"

"Hi, Maryn!"

"I've brought a friend with me."

[Maryn unsheaths a dueling blade with skill and ease, the steel's zingggg echoing in the stillness.]

"Say hello to Larry."

"Hi, Larry!"

Maryn, whose family has actually named a sword Larry, later redacted

Petal.

aadams73 · Apr 8, 2010

I'd call mine Mr. Pointy.

My battle cry would be: "I'm gonna kill you where you stand."

I'd immediately take a seat. Ha! Your move...

Shadow_Ferret · Apr 8, 2010

Barney.

Then I could sing the clean up song.

Clean up clean up everybody do their share
clean up clean up everybody everywhere
clean up clean up there's your arm, there's your head,
clean up clean up what a shame now you're dead.

OK. that sucked. Now I'm really embarrassed.

Namatu · Apr 8, 2010

My sword is named Mushin and it is one with me.

There is no speech. There is only your demise. Very sad for you, but that's what happens when you meet Mushin.

Clean up...

rhymegirl · Apr 8, 2010

Sting. (wasn't that Frodo's sword?)

My speech: This thing slices and dices, so outta my way or you're gonna lose something you need!

Mr Flibble · Apr 8, 2010

I would call mine 'Arse Slicer'

My battle cry would be the oft sung cry of the British Isles: 'Come and 'ave a go, if you fink you're 'ard enough!'

Then, while their ears were still bleeding from my attempt at singing, I would slice their arse.

som1luvsmi · Apr 8, 2010

I'd name my sword "Sweet Nothings".

No one can help you if she's whispering in your ear.

sadron · Apr 8, 2010

Mine is Death's Dance.

Sorry I'm not so creative at this late.

robeiae · Apr 8, 2010

I'd name my sword Viagra.

If you were a samurai warrior, what would you name your sword?
