When the heck did I concede that? Also, you literally keep shifting the goal-posts yourself with your bizarre "you'd never use a handgun to take on 4 people with machine guns and body armor and a tank" crap. My point is that users make their decisions based on many factors. And yes, familiarity...

What time "period" is appropriate, exactly? Most fantasy settings are a pastiche of stuff from across a few thousand years of history, including the Renaissance. Falchions were produced from the 13th-15th centuries. Is the 13th century not medieval enough? And again, it's a light, single edged...

Again, tell that to the White Death. Dude went iron sights, and racked up 500 kills in the course of about 4 months (30th of November 1939 to 13th of March 1940). As a sniper. Granted, he was helped by the fact that he was fighting in the snow, which makes scopes a dicey proposition. Heck...

Sort of? Curving the sword is usually a matter of weight distribution, like I said. That can make it more suited for slashing. Stabbing is pretty much always better at piercing through things that slashing, regardless of if the armor is hardened leather or steel. It just also does less damage...

Funny that you say that, because I'm like 75% sure that Lieutenant Surge in the Pokémon Adventures manga, who's a part of Team Rocket in that series, had a vest of Voltorbs and Electrodes (their evolution) that he used exactly the way you'd think he would. It didn't kill him, but uh...yeah.

Yep. It's great. At least two. Probably more.

As someone who has researched swords excessively, I'd say that no sword is "just one amongst many". And I don't just mean Japanese ones. A kopesh, scimitar, and katana aren't going to handle the exact same way, despite all being "curved swords". The first one is basically an axe cosplaying as a...

Having reread this whole thing, this does still seem to come out of nowhere...but it's really not surprising that they accepted his identity so fast, either. Like...Jean has been behaving like someone who stumbled out of another world pretty much the whole time they've known him. Or at least...

Not just that, his skill outright prevents people from talking or thinking about him too much, and probably makes it easier for him to cut ties (the name is "Separation", but it's conceptual rather than physical). It's probably why his stalker from earlier chapters (Dean's sister) hasn't been...

...I'm just going to assume the Northerners make those swords out of some sort of magical metal (or bronze) and not steel, for the sake of my sanity. Suffice it to say, you don't typically make steel swords from molds. Certainly not through casting. Steel has a high melting point, doesn't...

It's made somewhat more clear by the flashback to Japan near the end, which shows the blonde sister as she was, getting told by Jin's sibling (Haruka) not to confess her feelings to Jin. It's also made made much clearer in subsequent chapters that this is just a formed by blonde-sister's...

Purged, along with another 7000+ titles, due to a DMCA, apparently. And a lot of manga that survived aren't getting updates here anymore, because everyone is worried about another purge. It's a huge mess, and the survival of this site as a place of read scanlations is in doubt because of it...

Carrying things on one's back/shoulders have been around for a while. But it usually involved either basic sacks with straps or bulky frames to strap things to. And the backpacks here are actually pretty basic, leather and maybe a bit of wood to give the thing a frame, and some straps to let him...

I can't tell if Jean just ended a threat to humanity by making that contract and reducing their hunger for human flesh, or if he unleashed one by granting them power. Either way, there's no way The SwarmTM doesn't find him again.

No. But if they're more used to nerf pistols than nerf rifles, they might prefer a M1911 over an AR-15. Or, if they're more used to revolvers than automatics (and live in fear of the very notion of a weapon that could maybe jam), they might pick a Colt over the M1911. Or, if they prefer stopping...
