Well this is cruel

I wanted to get some NP levels for Hajime-chan, and foolishly assumed he'd be on the Oryoma banner like the last year, and I wouldn't mind getting some extra copies of them in the process, too

And if he was on Nobu's or Okita's banners I'd still gladly pull

Why did it have to be Hijikata 😭

Fic: Special Training [ read ] Fandom: Like a Dragon: Ishin (Yakuza: Ishin) Pairing: Sakamoto Ryoma | Saito Hajime x Todo Heisuke Rating: E Warnings: Postgame spoilers A/N: After the events of Ishin, Ryoma tries to convince Heisuke to agree to a special training plan. Because he could use it. Excerpt:

Saitō and the others limped back from Tosa, pale and bloodied. They’d returned quietly in the night, so secretly that Heisuke had only noticed when he’d walked out yawning from his room in the morning and smacked nose-first into Saitō’s broad back. It’d been like walking into a wall. As he rubbed his nose ruefully, Saitō turned. His dark eyes swept Heisuke’s face, his expression blank as he said, “Tōdō.”

“Ah… you’ve returned.” Heisuke blinked. “Hijikata-san and the others…?”

“Back.” Saitō had never been one to mince words. “They’re fine. You?”

“Walking,” Heisuke said with a playful smile. He was never good at stopping bad old habits. Not that flirtation of any sort seemed to work on Saitō. The man wasn’t cold or indifferent; he just seemed… oblivious. Through Heisuke’s enforced stay in Teradaya, he often wondered how Saitō had gone about courting a pretty, popular girl like Oryo. Maybe he didn’t need to do much, what with being handsome and an unparalleled swordsman.

“Good.” Saitō started to walk away, then hesitated and turned back. “Kitakata talked to me.”

“Complained?”

“No.”

“…Is that all you’re going to say?” Heisuke said as Saitō seemed to decide that was the end of the conversation. This got him a puzzled stare. “Shouldn’t it be, ‘Tōdō, you did a great job’, or, ‘Thanks for keeping a lid on things in Kyo’?”

“You didn’t die. That’s good,” Saitō said. As Heisuke started to object, he added, “The rest—not bad.”

“That’s it?” Heisuke said, incredulous.

Summoned a new Saber-class Servant: Saitō Hajime! 🗡️

[tlaquetzqui]

One you missed is that “longsword” is used by D&D, or at least everything through 3.x, to refer to a one-handed weapon more properly called an arming sword. The real longsword is what D&D calls a bastard sword.

Also the main thing you do one-handed with a longsword is a sudden lunge where you take your top (right) hand off, step through, and stab, holding the hilt just above the pommel, in your left hand. Which gives you something like four extra feet of reach compared to your normal stance. (This move, done with a katana, was the signature technique of Saitō Hajime, 3rd Unit Commander of the Shinsengumi.)

Presumably other techniques for one-handed use of katana would also carry over, like it being easier to control if you use a reverse grip and make circular/figure-8 sweeping motions. (The way that Ahsoka in Clone Wars wields her lightsabers.)

sword misconceptions pt 1: longsword

so as I'm getting back into fantasy lit as a historical fencer, there are a lot of things I am noticing cropping up in swordfights that are inaccurate or flat out wrong. So i wanted to write a post for my fellow writers putting down a few things I've learned in 2.5 years of swinging the actual weapons around!

Disclaimer: i am not an expert. Additionally, many of the historical terms for weapons were not standardized (there was no "one" longsword/rapier/shortsword etc when we're talking about a weapon that existed for hundreds of years across an entire continent) so what I'm discussing under the cut is specific to the late medieval/early Renaissance European two-handed weapon.

Misconception 1: longswords are heavy.

Older editions of D&D had these weapons at 6 pounds, which is about 2x too heavy. Your average longsword is between 2 and 4 pounds, and a well-made one will be balanced such that you barely feel it. Pound for pound, they are heavier than almost all one handed weapons (except some rapiers but we'll talk about that later), but between their balance and the fact you wield them in both hands, their weight is likely not going to be a prohibiting factor for most characters. Everyone who can pick up a wooden baseball bat can pick a longsword up and swing it. A weak or out of shape character will struggle for wielding it for lengths of time, though.

Misconception 2: longswords are slow.

You're 1) thinking of a zweihander and 2)zweihanders aren't slow, either, but we'll get to that later. Longswords, wielded properly in both hands, are lightning fast, with a skilled fencer that's opened their opponent's defense often able to land 2-4 hits before a director even registers the first hit and calls "halt". And there are two components to speed: actual velocity, and distance. Longswords are -- well, long. Even if you can't swing it as fast as a little knife, the fact that it's three feet long means you're closing to target much faster compared with a shorter weapon, because you don't have to do as much footwork to get into, or out of, striking range.

Misconception 3: you can wield a longsword in one or both hands.

I mean, you could. But a one-handed wield robs a longsword of a lot of its dexterity, grace, precision, and yes -- power. You want two hands on this thing. Your dominant hand goes closer to the crossguard and it's what generates your power and edge alignment. Your offhand on or near the pommel is where your dexterity and fine steering is. Switching or removing either of these hands feels weird and you are also way more likely to get disarmed just by trying to parry with one hand.

Misconception 4: swordfights are about dodging.

You have two realistic options when someone is swinging a longsword at you: parry or step out of range. You do not duck. You do not jump. You do not sway, roll, or do backbends. All of these things will 1) rob you of necessary structure to riposte, 2) leave you wide open for a renewed attack or remise, and 3) leave your most important tool for not getting hit -- your SWORD -- too far off target to help you. Yes, all of these things look super cool and may fit depending on your style and setting. But if you're going for realism, YOU PARRY.

Misconception 5: you can be fast or strong but not both.

Ok, this is more a pet peeve about martial arts in general but: you cannot be fast without a certain base amount of muscle. You CANNOT. Small people with no muscle are slow. They have to take huge, looping cuts to compensate for their lack of muscle and leave huge openings while they do it. Small people who do well at the sport are often very quick because they have to train the heck out of footwork to outwork bigger opponents, but that only comes with TRAINING. It's not a "small people are automatically dex builds" thing. And while big muscly guys are often slower, they also 1) have less distance to move to close to target, which makes them "faster" even if they are moving a tad slower and 2) they're also often fast as balls, so you can judge virtually nothing about an opponent based on their body type except for their reach. A good, big longsword fencer will often have really fast handwork because most don't do well in longsword fencing without speed.

Let me know if there are any lingering questions I missed! I may think of more later, but I hope this was helpful for now :)
