    People keep complaining when looks aren't factored in, but they are in moments like this when they preform identicaly and feel good to use the minor details is how they decide a champion.
  • I love when the contestants are equally as excited to see their opponents weapons in action. “I’ll probably know Tony the rest of my life” is some wholesome stuff. I want a new system in place so people can draw and re forge new weapons for a second round!

    I love it how dougs always say " it will keiil"

    Win or lose, I love the level of respect the contestants give each other. 🙌
  • This is what more competitions need to be about: No drama, no sore losers, mutual respect, honor, respectful and knowledgeable judges who teach the contestants how to improve.

    As someone who's just now FINALLY recovered from a hand injury, you really can tell that Doug was injured because he has that tell tale arm placement even without a brace or sling. I can't imagine how he felt not being able to handle those beautiful murder machines.
  • Why does he sound so excited and happy everytime he says "It will Keel" but not when "It will cut"
  • I like the strength tests where the weapons were struck against armor and shields that the blade would likely have been up against in its time period and geographic location. Those feel fair and authentic.
  • The ginunting was actually pretty easy to call. One blade was heavier (on a speed weapon) and took a little damage.

    Lots of wholesome moments and sportsmanship in this one. Love to see it

    I honestly think the complete unit doubling for Marcaida on the Sicca KEEL test probably could have swung a chopstick and the dummies head would have come off.

    As a native of philippines living on country side we uses "ginunting" as our handy tools.from cutting bamboos to chopping light woods for fuel.its a man's best buddy🙂
  • @MrXlastcallx
    Doug's face in the background round of the first keel test is priceless.
  • @mikejunt
    I feel like I remember an episode where both weapons had catastrophic failures in the same test, and I would have expected that to show up among the closest decisions.

    that Salahuddin scimitar was just literally a masterpiece 1 to 1 recreation, what a beautiful sword Walter forged
