I’ve known this for some time, but it’s nice to see this examined a bit.

Real scabbards generally have slots cut on the side to solve these kinds of problems.

(Yes, I know the video is about curved swords, but it applies to straight ones too)

Doesn't Kirby's mouth lead to another dimension?

[–] RizzRustbolt 3 points 18 hours ago

Yes. It's called his stomach. It contains multiple dark gods.

Either that or a black hole depending on where you read.

Reminds me of one of my favorite moments from Vindland Saga

This is an amazing scene, I’ve never watched this anime.

This is actually the scene that motivated me to watch the show! Highly recommend it (the English dub on Netflix was pretty solid too). The second season has a big tonal shift, but it was beautifully done.

Adding it to my list?

I remember this video exploring the topic. Basically it seems plausible, but you'd need a different type of sheath/scabbard.

[–] ApollosArrow 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It is doable with certain length swords and a normal sheath. Link

The Witcher show tried to solved this with an open faced scabbard

Incidentally, the guy you linked is a fucking scum, and doesn't deserve any attention anymore, other than from a qualified medical professionals

So I've heard. But this is just about a scabbard design. Would it be better to post mirror video links instead? Or maybe someone has a different channel source with a similar scabbard design...?

Who is it? I don't want to give them the benefit of a click if they don't deserve it, but feel compelled now to find out.

Swords and scum? My money is on shadiversity.

But did he try pulling it down before dismissing? >.>
