Toryu-Mau: ... Blade's armor is... a strange hybrid of Roman Segmantata and Japanese O'Yoroi... it's aesthetics were always confusing to me, but then again, I suppose that sense of exotic factor was intended by the authors since the Akavir were always depicted as mysterious people from far off land. >):^/
DOOMGUY11: @Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: sadly I dont know much about armor but I can see the variations,it is sort of Japanese sort of style...mixes with Roman?
Jadezzar: @DOOMGUY11: Yeah. Lorica Segmentata is one of the armor worn by the Legionnaries of Rome (The other is Lorica Hamata, mail armor. While most depictions put the Segmentata as the common one, it might actually be the Hamata that got widely used).
Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: ... Attach some fancy golden crests on the Kabuto helmets they're wearing, eh?
A Shogun's gotta show those uneducated Ashigaru who's Boss in the most literal sense, after all. >):^]
Jadezzar: @Toryu-Mau: Only Jad got to wore. Kat will got a headdress, though. And after I think, gonna give her a Kiritsuke kozane dou instead. She'll have a Naginata, Jad got a Yumi bow. And yes, both got golden crest, Kat a small one in shape of Cat head, Jad a big, crescent moon, though not as big as one worn by Date Masamune.
Toryu-Mau: @DOOMGUY11: ... Well, there's an actual historical record of Oda Nobunaga shooting one of his general with a fancy new Kyushu arquebus gun he got from recent conquest, reasons being quoted as "Because he could". >)B^]
Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: ... Date Masamune needed to calm down a bit with over compansating with how big his crest was, he could put an eye out with that thing, eh?
... Oh wait, maybe that was actually the intention since he was looked down on for being one eyed himself? >):^?
