There's a friend of mine who had a roommate who was a Sword Guy. People made fun of him and his sword sometimes, and life moved on as it does.

Then one day some kids who had had a disagreement with members of the house started hitting the front door with baseball bats, trying to break in and wreck up whoever they found inside. About the time they broke through the door Sword Guy came quick down the stairs with his sword. It happened basically exactly like in the anime. He said some weird edgelord shit, but also, he didn't sound like he was backing down and he was holding a real fucking sword. The kids with bats did the math and decided they didn't want to get sliced up today, and they left.

I won't say that Sword Guy became cool on that day but people definitely remembered it positively. Because at the end of the day, when the barbarians were at the gate, who came the fuck through? Sword Guy.

In 2009, a John Hopkins University sword guy used a katana to kill an intruder.

This guy is now a certified radiologist.

Suprised he didn’t become a surgeon.

In any case, not sure I’d like to be in his care lol.
