Musha 5 Rings katana at the Trial of Ruin // Stormbringer.

This test, "A Trial of Ruin," pits a hardened, high-velocity slashing geometry against a completely stationary, massive mass of soft structural mild steel. Because the broadsword is buried rigidly into a tree stump, it cannot flex or absorb kinetic energy, forcing the moving katana to bear the entire load of the impact.
