#109: Cutting In

It slices. It dices.

While he has disarmed gunny with the power of Anime, that expression on his face when he first saw our heroes weapon choice was wonderful.

 

[RJ 17]

It slices. It dices.

The real question though:

Spoiler: Can it cut through a shoe and/or a penny and/or a shoe with a penny in the laces? :D

Seriously though: I do like how all this tank-hurling power comes from an "archer" that can't hit a target 5 feet in front of him. :3

 

[CyanCat47_v1legacy]

Gunny might be in trouble after all. Innitially I thought he was going to take the hit because he believed his armour was stronger than the sword only to find that he suddenly has archer stats and can't take two melee attacks

 

[09philj]

I don't think he understands how physics works. Those bits of tank are still going to hit him.

 

[Fappy]

I like how he's using a katana draw technique for a sabre. Oh, anime.

 

[Ukomba]

He's going to be extra surprised when Gunny fires one of those ultra draw arrows through that slice while his saber is out of position to defend against it.

 

[Guffe]

I was thinking Gunny will shoot an arrow, as in the tank was just a diversion...
Then I remembered his accuracy with a bow.
Hopefully he has somthing up his hat to help him.

This is Anime physics. With that slash the pieces will separate, making a gap between them wide enough to pass at his sides, leaving him completely unharmed.

 

[flying_whimsy]

I really want to see Gunny kick this guy's ass. I am so sick of the sephiroth super human thing. I don't care how, I don't care if it's anticlimactic, I just want to see this guy get wrecked as quickly and messily as possible.

Bonus points for that face when gunny threw the tank, though.

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the slice.

I like how he's using a katana draw technique for a sabre. Oh, anime.

And that was the 2nd thing I thought when I saw the slice.

 

[NPC009]

He's doing it wrong. It's supposed to be like: "That was pretty interesting, but dropping a tank on me is cheating... Take it back!"

 

[Jeivar]

Oh-kay. Gunny is like Marvel Comics-level powerful. He really does put the super in supersoldier.

Gunny might be in trouble after all. Innitially I thought he was going to take the hit because he believed his armour was stronger than the sword only to find that he suddenly has archer stats and can't take two melee attacks

Come on, Cyancat. Swords are always more powerful than anything else in JRPGs (Except sometimes magic/summons). Plus, I think his sword is made of the crystals. <-<

Probably makes it even more dangerous.

true but many JRPGs and Anime series and Manga series have a case of "Goku-protagonist syndrome" in which a protagonist who is a complete idiot who wins against the evil genious simply by continuing to use brute force and nakama-generated plot armour. personally i'm rooting for Ghirahim junior purely on principle

 

[Darth_Payn]

Oh Gunny, don't you know the rule about JRPG characters and swords? The antagonist with the sword will always, ALWAYS, do something cool/impossible-in-real-life with it.

 

[lacktheknack]

Uh oh, I think we have an unbeatable boss here.

Possible, but as others have mentioned, this may also be one of those, suppose to lose/run away fights.

I do understand what you're talk about though. Still, even Goku got his butt kicked from time to time. Yeah, he came back later to win, but I don't think this will be the end of Gunny. Even if he does lose.

I don't think he understands how physics works. Those bits of tank are still going to hit him.

When a three foot long sword can cut a thirty foot long tank in half like that, I'd say all bets are off.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

In anime there ARE no physics, just cool factor
As soon as you bisect something it automatically becomes impossible for the resulting halves to hurt you...

But that *would* be hilarious; cut the tank in half, then die from the impact anyway
