Watch How a Samurai Plays Baseball
Some could call it a clash of cultures, others a clash of civilizations, maybe East meets West, or old meets new.
Whatever you want to call it, be prepared to be amazed at what happens when a man trained in the art of Samurai swordsmanship plays baseball in a batting cage.
With a speedometer tracking the action, the lone warrior allows a couple balls to go by, presumably for the man to track the approximate speed of the projectiles.
And then on the third pitch, when the Samurai would have been struck out, he does something more than just stand idly by.
Uploaded onto YouTube by the account called oriconofficial on Tuesday, the video has already garnered over 1.4 million hits and more than 1,600 likes.
So come and see what it looks like when East meets West, old meets new, war meets sport, and ball meets blade.
