When he rushed towards Yukina and disarmed her, I felt like that was too fast even for him and didn't give her time to react. As if the whole thing is preemptive already.

In this case there legitimately isn't much Yukina can do to resist after having fired her shot. With the reinforcement in place Michael is top-tier supernatural, meaning that even readjusting her aim for another shot will be enough time for Michael to get close.

That said Panda it's usually a good idea to talk such things out between you two if you're going to smash another character around without even the chance of a comeback.

To be perfectly honest, I was just expecting a quick spar with Neo where I could have Michael hold back enough to drag things out. Things just escalated. A lot. I blame Franco.

...Ivan, how the heck do you design sheathes/blades that can resist someone trying to remove them from their sheathes? I mean, the only way he would have tried is by catching the end of the staff on the guard of the blade and flicking it out that way, so unless those weapons don't have guards...

Well, Japanese swords usually have this curve resulting from the cooling process in their forging, as well as the fact their sheaths were custom made to have a tighter opening.

Doesn't matter unless the blade doesn't have a guard. Michael is fully within his capabilities to brute-force it while enhanced.

Doesn't matter now if it has a guard or not anyway.

Fair point, but this is for future reference. Also, while a tanto usually doesn't have a guard (they're meant for ceremonial usage/concealed carry), a wakizashi usually does, as it's meant for direct combat to some degree.

Actually, tanto swords could have one.

Hey theunknownhero, please add a empty line of space between every paragraph.  It makes your posts really hard to read if you don't.

Like so:

"Holy flying cripes on toast, Batman!"

"I'm the goddamn Batman."
