    Two swords sound fun~ How would you separate a single sword class from a two sword, like a Ninja one weapon comes in a pair? The single sword user would need something to set his weapon apart from the dual sword user and hopefully it was more than "one comes in a pair". Maybe Nodachi (Odachi) vs the medium and shorter companion?
    I know, but I guess that's how they do documentaries now days. All the other films and life stories I've seen were all subtitled and I cant locate those online for reference. The others being various Japanese films about the guy, and those are slightly fictionalized as well. The last good one I remember seeing was a 26 episode drama that went up to his duel with Sasaki.

    Oh, in that case thanks for at least getting us reference . You're right they all tend to have bias to sell*, but our Samurai ones are the most fun lol. We're in love with the romantic ideal - which is awesome and fine until we say that "was" the history. Would be one of my pet peeves that someone wants to sell a fun fantasy as a reality, with little or poor references (which happens all the time with the Samurai/Katana, not exclusive to this subject of course).

    *Here is my favorite though:
