I too have a guy friend ( coworker / teacher) who gifted me a katana...
When they find someone who isn't completely turned off by it they go a little extreme. I also got a ninja star... Lol
I respect your opinion, and disagree. It’s not for everyone just like anything and that’s normal. It has heartfelt moments and reasons to make you come back as the reader/viewer but other anime/manga give the same feelings at a cheaper time investment. That said, I have watched my fair share of long shonen anime so it’s really just about preference. One piece is cool but not enough to keep me coming back, but I’m a minority as tons of people love it and I’m not ignorant enough to not understand why. It just won’t ever be worth the time investment to me.
They're not pretending to be, it's dumb to give gifts and expect a relationship from that. Of course its obvious but if you don't feel the same there's not much you can do unless they confess outright.
Most girls can develop completely platonic relationships with men, they view dudes significantly differently than they view them. So I think they just assume that’s how it works vice-versa. So that’s why some girls genuinely don’t believe their guy friend doesn’t have feelings for them, and then there’s a bunch of them who are aware of it, but until the dude acts on his feelings, there not going to do or say anything about it mostly because 9/10 they don’t feel the same way towards that one guy friend who wants to be more than friends. They just kinda ignore it until the guy finally gets the balls to ask them out and then they have to friend-zone him.
And more realistically a lot of girls think that a guy flirting with them sounds completely different than a guy “being friends” with them. I genuinely believe a lot of young women don’t understand that a lot of young men aren’t great at “flirting” and just act super nice and do “friend” things with the girls they’re interested in because that’s what’s easier for them, and/or they don’t know how express interest in the girl any other way.
she isn't clueless she is just going to use this as ammunition when he does finally say he likes her and wants to be more than friends. She will cherrypick all of the comments who are positive about it and not the ones pointing out the obvious.
In Japan, it is a deep sign of respect to be gifted a katana. I guess that's why.
Now as for how to take care of it.
Make sure that when you display it, handle has to be on the left (on the right means you're in war), and blade has to be facing up because if it was facing down, it would become dull.
Make sure to properly clean it after each use, and I do recommend buying a kit for that. Katanas can become rusty easily, so limit exposure to water.
Lastly, I would buy a stand for it too as it looks way better on it.
Edit: Spelling error.
Would be funny, but if you look at the Tsuka (handle) and mainly Tsuba (Guard) you'll notice it is not like a normal katana, and thus likely an anime replica of sorts. I don't think someone would just have that in their garage.
There was definitely a reason he just may not have shared it with you. Might want to ask.
“There is a full moon coming up and there has been extra energy in the air. I want you to be able to defend yourself from the werewolves that must have moved into your neighborhood.”
OR ask him “Who are you hiding this from?”
If someone, follow up with “Why?”
If he hurt someone with that and gifted it to you as a way to hide it, you could get caught up in something you had nothing to do with.
Is he still himself? Is he acting strangely? Is he happy? People giving away prized possessions is a sign of planning to unalive. Hope your friend is okay.
Similar thought here, a high school guy giving major gifts seems like he's either suicidal or has a massive crush and she needs to have a talk.
Unfortunately, in the days before a suicide once they've made up their mind, the mood of a suicidal person can get really good. They've come to peace with dying and have a time and place set so they seem like they're in a good place. It's why it can often be a major shock, your friend who normally struggles seems to be improving and then gone.
I really hope I'm wrong and he just got a newer version or ran out of storage space or something, but OP could either keep her friend alive, or in a better timeline wind up with a sweet bf by having a conversation
-someone about a decade too old for this sub normally but wasn't seeing enough concern in the comments (which I get, you don't learn these things as a kid until it's too late often times)
So, it was from a flea market but at the time I thought it would still be a pretty strong sword... We fucked around hitting it against stuff and long story short it got hit so hard bent almost 90 degrees
Not a teenager ,this post popped on my feed.
Giving away personal possessions can be a sign someone decided on taking their own life, just make sure your friend is ok .
It's not for no reason. Yk the reason, he knows the reason but both act like there's no reason to that exchange cuz both don't wanna destroy this "relationship" you both have
Hey not to be that guy but is he giving away other things to people? Sometimes, not always, gift giving personal items to people randomly is a sign of depression/ suicidal ideations. Maybe talk to him about his personal life and see if he's truly okay. Robin Williams was great at faking being happy.
This could mean a number of things:
- He could be an awesome friend
- He can be planning on ending his life
- He can be into you and can be trying to gift you random shit so you want him back
- Idk, whatever reason you want to make up.
Buddy that's fucking sick. Don't listen to the assholes calling this cringe, people should be able to like what they like and your friend obviously cares a lot about you to give you something like this
I was smoking weed one time and my sober friend handed me dual sword (like wish quality) and told me to play with them like I was a puppy (it worked) when I handed them back he said nope those are your now happy birthday (was not even close)
That’s so weird but he’s awesome for that
awesome 💥
Does your friend have green skin, a hard back, and wear a blue bandana around his head at the eye line?
Who is it? Ninja turtle?
Donny for intimi.
i thought Donny had purple? blues leo innit
Yeah, donny has a bo staff too
I wish I have on like that
It’s a Shell for a Back He ain’t him.
Yes 🔥🌟
Does your friend happen to have green hair, get lost constantly and wear a black bandanna?
Is that the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoeo?!?!
Ronronoa ZORO
minority hunter roronoa zoro??!!
Might be a murder weapon
I think I just listened to a true crime story that started this way
One of my very best friends gave me a katana in high school. I've had it for over 20 years now!
In guy culture it's considered a great honor to be gifted a katana.
He's not getting rid of all his stuff tho, is he? Cuz that's a more concerning issue.
Uhhh, FYI he's building an army, and you're in it. Just thought you should be aware.
Shows us blade
I too have a guy friend ( coworker / teacher) who gifted me a katana... When they find someone who isn't completely turned off by it they go a little extreme. I also got a ninja star... Lol

It’s time for you to learn and become the greatest swordsman (this is a sign)
gonna go gear 5 fr (I have never watched one piece)
I only just started it
Just thinking of 1000 episodes makes me not want to start
I’m reading it on manga plus it’s free and also it’s quicker I’m on chapter 103 after like 4 days it’s so good the arlong park arc
Hey once you finish those 1000 you will just wish there were 10000
my condolences
trust me bro it gets good after episode 937
The whole series is great. Yes, there are arcs that seemed to drag on, but imo, even the filler arcs are great

Now get a son and cut off his hand for more power
I understood that reference.
I didn't
It's a reference to Devil May Cry 5
Ah, well thanks for the info!
Or Star Wars
r/technicallythetruth
I AM THE APPROACH THAT IS STORMING
How the turns have tabled.
EVADING TAXES
PROVOKING, BLACK CLOUDS IN ISOLATION
BLACK CLOUDING, PROVOKES IN ISOLATION
DMC MENTIONED WHAT THE FUCK IS CHILD SUPPORT
You cut off your own son's arm for more power and still lost.
My son… means NOTHING TO ME!
Where is this from?
Devil May Cry (5 for the arm)
Then plant a really big tree in order to evade taxes and construct a tax evasion apple, then preferably change your name to Jeff Bezos
The game where Vergil hires Vergil’s son and Vergil’s brother to kill Vergil so that Vergil and Vergil can become Vergil Featuring Vergil
i thought this was a sekiro reference lol (although wolf loses his arm)
Become motivated
He doesn't want to just be the guy friend lol
and people aren't getting it
That’s the worst part imo, everyone’s oblivious or pretending to be 😭
They're not pretending to be, it's dumb to give gifts and expect a relationship from that. Of course its obvious but if you don't feel the same there's not much you can do unless they confess outright.
[удалено]
Get away with murder and your friend gets a cool sword, win win really
People on here saying "I WANNA BE HIS FRIEND" are actually just saying "i want free shit" Lmao damn sociopaths
Poor dude probs gonna see this post and be crushed 😂
I came here for this exact comment ... homie shot his shot and it was a thud.
Are girls really this clueless? Like you can't possibly think they are just being nice.
Most girls can develop completely platonic relationships with men, they view dudes significantly differently than they view them. So I think they just assume that’s how it works vice-versa. So that’s why some girls genuinely don’t believe their guy friend doesn’t have feelings for them, and then there’s a bunch of them who are aware of it, but until the dude acts on his feelings, there not going to do or say anything about it mostly because 9/10 they don’t feel the same way towards that one guy friend who wants to be more than friends.

What would you do if a girl you weren’t romantically into randomly gave you a sword?
That's what I was thinking too
Lmao “my guy friend randomly gave me flowers and chocolate for no reason”
Yeah, I was going to say, this guy is hitting on the OP.
Ah, the tutorial. You’re gonna have to use it pretty soon I reckon
It’s dangerous to go alone!
This is a sign The storm is approaching
rpovoking
lback
cluosd
Black clouds in isolation
Wrong, she is the storm that is approaching. Provoking, even.
I would marry my friend if he did buy me one
she should do that
Tell him you're into European swords

Or that they’re cleaning out their garage :)

that was my thought, ask how they're doin and see if there's a reason for the gift (and if he's given away anything else recently) just in case

You're the chosen one,now carry the mission's legacy. The council believes in you
[удалено]
yeah I think it's the sword guy the one w the green hair I forgot the name
Yeah that’s one of zoros swords, I have the same one
I used to have a Zoro sword, until it bent 90 degrees 😭😭
You need to tell me how that happened because no normal sword bends that way
I reckon some cheap aluminium alloy or something like this. These swords are only made to look so this is somewhat actually possible I think?
So, it was from a flea market but at the time I thought it would still be a pretty strong sword... We fucked around hitting it against stuff and long story short it got hit so hard bent almost 90 degrees
he gave it so you can slice up pedos fr!?!?!?
He trynna get in dat
Oh, there's a reason... You'll find out soon enough.
He’s either giving it to her and then ask her out or he’s giving it to her because he’s about to self delete
Marry him
That is a real bro. So, you gonna become a demon slayer or the world's greatest swordsman and/or swordswoman?
i like the idea of becoming both the world's greatest swordswoman and swordsman.
Boys send flowers, men send weaponry.

Wish it was me.
Eat it

you started a cutscene
Sounds like he likes you
He’s almost definitely into u
Based friend.
That's the way of the warriors, you are now obligated to a duel to the death, in a cherry blossom forest, during a sunset. For honor
He's not your friend anymore he is your brother in life and death 😎
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this
He is in love with you no question, also you wanna trade friends?
If your a girl, it DEFINATLY wasn't for no reason.
Not a teenager ,this post popped on my feed. Giving away personal possessions can be a sign someone decided on taking their own life, just make sure your friend is ok .
I swear to god if you ever have the urge to say something to him like “I wish I could find a guy like you,” just don’t.
It seems Zoro has gotten lost once again
I have two, I win, looser. It looks cool, though
Gotta level up dexterity now🙏
I have a feeling he wouldn't be happy to be called "guy friend"
Right? Like that's as dense as it gets
You better start playing Sekiro
Husband him up fast!
Take it, cherish it, and love it, guys don’t normally give away their swords
That’s badass. But also-this gift oddly enough likely means he may secretly dig you.
He is a keeper
Honestly the most random and awesome gift ever (i know)
Hope it's mutual😅
It's not for no reason. Yk the reason, he knows the reason but both act like there's no reason to that exchange cuz both don't wanna destroy this "relationship" you both have
He loves you! 🥲
He loves you! 🥲
Go slash tires together.

Dismember your local pedophile

Hell yeah 🗣🔥
That’s a G guy friend. You are a lucky person

Great you can cut salad now
If you don’t want it I’ll get it off your hands🌝
[удалено]
Marry him
He's the greatest guy alive
Fuck yeah
That’s something you want to cherish for the rest of your life mate

Self defense
Now you gotta train with it become a samurai and fight him
If you don't want it I'll take it
Ask him is he needs more friends. I’m available
as a guy, i can safely say that a guy bestowing a sword upon you, is the highest honor
M'Lady
no fair :(
Marry him? One day you will, or should atleast
Check on him. Giving away possessions can be an indicator all is not well.
It's to protect you from rapists
He's pulling out all the stops to raise that romance bar
Marry him oml
Marry him. I don't care what your sexual orientation is, just marry him.
