The reason you couldn't cut through steel and stone is less about the katana and moreso due to your technique - you forgot to yell out the name of your attack and fuel your swings with the power of friendship.
-
Just 100% full on embracing the Mythbusters style. I love it and love this.
-
I've never known any katana legend that speaks on them being unbreakable or indestructible, contrary there's lots of legendary katanas that shatter in their own stories.
-
The katana did actually cut through space & time, the problem is that they didn't have the highly specialized technical measuring equipment to detect lacerations is space & time. Also, Minkowski space is rapidly self-healing, so the cut would only be detectable for milliseconds before it had repaired itself. Good content & interesting video.
-
Can't believe Shad missed both Space and Time on that swing. He was so close too,almost got a glancing hit on Time
-
When Mythbusters did the Katana Vs Machine-gun Barrel, they broke every sword but one. That one was made by Angel Sword and cost over 3k US. Adam was so impressed, he bought the sword and it is on his shelf in his workshop. It was a very cool episode.
-
The myth of katanas being able to cut through swords always put me in mind of the scene in Men in Tights when Robin Hood meets Little John and their staves always break in the same way. If katanas could cut through swords, then two katanas cutting at each other would make each much shorter and it would be a fight of who could cut the other's closer to the hilt.
-
Shad’s look slowly going from Arthur to Merlin is beautiful
-
It's great that Shad is actually like a lord with his own men now. Only thing that's missing is the boys calling him m'lord
-
They really are just full on becoming mythbusters 2 medieval boogaloo
-
Pffftttt, this is a $400 mass-produced katana. If you want to slice through other swords, car doors, and stone, you need a 2000 year old katana crafted in a volcano from meteorite metal by a 7th generation Japanese swordsmith.
-
That draw+slice of the tatami mat was beautiful! Well worth this whole video in that single shot!
-
The katana gets far more love and far more hate than it truly deserves.
-
I must fail Shadiversity on their testing standards. Everyone knows the way to optimize the cutting power of a katana is to... Wear a fedora and trench coat while using it. Time, space, and destiny itself will fall before its folded metals!
-
Tsuba is supposed to prevent your hand from sliding to the blade and cut yourself, NOT to be used as a "microshield" or crossguard
-
The silk drop test reminds me of the legend of Gram, a Nordic sword. After Regin had forged it, he went to a nearby brook and held the blade in the water. Then he dropped a bit of unspun wool on the surface and let the current carry it to the edge which cut it in two. I like that visual better.
-
Is there a katana sharp enough to cut through the weird obsession with this one blade style? Survey says: No
-
Can a katana cut through spacetime. - Shad swings the katana through the air - Shadiversity: "Nope, nothing happened, myth busted. The katana cannot cut through spacetime." One week later, while setting up for another video, one of the tripods is mysteriously cut in half, and the camera hits the ground.

I’m so glad I found this channel!
