    People keep complaining when looks aren't factored in, but they are in moments like this when they preform identicaly and feel good to use the minor details is how they decide a champion.
  • I love when the contestants are equally as excited to see their opponents weapons in action. “I’ll probably know Tony the rest of my life” is some wholesome stuff. I want a new system in place so people can draw and re forge new weapons for a second round!

    Win or lose, I love the level of respect the contestants give each other. 🙌
  • @epasufia9274
    I love it how dougs always say " it will keiil"
  • @commanderb7291
    This is what more competitions need to be about: No drama, no sore losers, mutual respect, honor, respectful and knowledgeable judges who teach the contestants how to improve.

    As someone who's just now FINALLY recovered from a hand injury, you really can tell that Doug was injured because he has that tell tale arm placement even without a brace or sling. I can't imagine how he felt not being able to handle those beautiful murder machines.
  • Why does he sound so excited and happy everytime he says "It will Keel" but not when "It will cut"
  • I like the strength tests where the weapons were struck against armor and shields that the blade would likely have been up against in its time period and geographic location. Those feel fair and authentic.
  • @MrXlastcallx
    Doug's face in the background round of the first keel test is priceless.
  • @jacobhall8615
    Lots of wholesome moments and sportsmanship in this one. Love to see it
  • The ginunting was actually pretty easy to call. One blade was heavier (on a speed weapon) and took a little damage.

    As a native of philippines living on country side we uses "ginunting" as our handy tools.from cutting bamboos to chopping light woods for fuel.its a man's best buddy🙂
  • @danielezeh4356
    "i'll probably know Tony for the rest of my life" is probably the best thing i've heard all day
  • This is a great show .. Just wanted to comment and say that. Lots of good humble people loving the experience of showing off their craft and some as the first two in this Compilation forming bonds for life. Hats off
