It's really good, and it has an amazing use of improvised weapons, I'll have to enclose this in spoiler tags just in case (though it's not that big of a spoiler). Alas the concept itself doesn't really make sense in D&D terms, but it's so cool I wish it did o_o[SPOILER="Thunderbolt Fantasy"]The main character, Shou, uses a katana as his primary weapon. His party does not have that much confidence in his talents, especially being highly critical of the quality of his cuts, and his swordsmanship (though they admit he is quite strong because they've seen him fight and he's not bad). They complain the cuts are dull and uneven, and a particularly dramatic moment they have lost faith in him so they insult him by giving him the nickname "Dull Blade".At that moment they're attacked by bad guys. In a dramatic scene Shou loses his sword and finds himself unarmed. His sword, having flown quite a distance, lands at the feet of another member of his party. This companion picks up the sword and with amazement comments: "But it's a wooden sword! It's just been painted silver!"At that point Shou picks up a stick from the ground, uses the stick to absolutely demolish the enemies, including cutting another guy's sword in half.Any tool no matter how dull becomes a sharp blade in his hands[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
