thats the headcanon most go with i am sure but its 100% not that in japan they practice sword techniques and swings some of which is visibly shown in the way samurai executes certain skills or abilities but also they believe in their study of the blade that its an extension of the self and how you treat it and hone it will decided how great of swordsman you become and so on and so fourth but thats in "practice" and performed on "Stage" if you were to go watch actual kendo or japanese sword competitions you'd see that literally none of their practice techniques are held in place for any longer than a split second or less cause whats he gunna do? let his oponent smack the ever living daily light out of him while he's trying to act all cool like on tv??? absolutely not lmao that would be extremely embarrassing to watch and would shame his school and his mentor both
And the same can be said for when they had times of war in ancient japan civilization you really think a samurai who also mind you was covered in armor from head to toe which weighed tons is gunna let himself get wailed on an possibly behead or worse? just to active some kind of imaginary special ki finisher? lmao get outta here

...Like literally holy European knights and knights lugging around 30 pound greatswords? What kind of realistic fantasy game do you thing you are playing my dude?

i am playing a final fantasy don't be silly not an anime rpg :P if i wanted to play anime i'd go play wuthering waves, genshin, or blue protocol.
but we are here in a mystical realm an lets not be coy most samurai mains/players dont view this samurai as ideal or even peak samurai what they really want is a blade with a thousand slashes/cuts, with the super amazing bullet/lazer/projectile deflecting skills, and the master of the blade that can cut things in two instantly with a single stroke as then sheath their katana at the end.
