The 2nd last one I don’t if I’m seeing that right but if I am he unsheathes his blade really fast!
Yeah, that is crazy fast. He’d have the blade loose in the scabbard to start, but it’s still incredible.
As a judo practitioner myself, the second .gif animation (the karate looking fella doing the foot sweep) is so very satisfying. Looks like a modified De Ashai Barai (advancing foot sweep).
I like the last gif: “I totally slice his face off, huh?”
