Affectos's Emotions: "Let's Duel!"

First, can I say while Badass of the Week is a good place to find new warriors...it isn't where you should be copying and pasting their bios from. This is where a part of the research comes in.

Primary: as far as I can tell, the only straight sword I know of designed to repel curved swords is the Colimanche, that said, the Katana has greater options when it comes to actual sword play. Edge: Katana

Secondary: While both are the same length, the Jutte wasn't always the sharpest tool in the samurai's belt. While it could be used for thrusting, the was maily to catch the enemy's blade or to inflict blunt force damage. The Parrying Dagger on the other hand was sharp, and could be used offensively to kill. Edge: Parrying Dagger

Special: While the Bokken was mainly a training  sword, you can beat the bloody pulp out of someone if you smacked someone with it several times over. The Arming sword though actually has a blade though....It may be cliche, but I'm siding with a the metal on this side. Edge: Arming Sword

X-Factors: Despite the upper hand in the weapons department, Julie falls short here. Her physical stature is lacking, she isn't as hard core as Miyamoto, and was a deep alcoholic...chances are that she'll be the one insigating the fight, but it won't end up pretty for her....

Victor: Miyamoto Mushia

(future reference, don't take Ben Thompson at face value, do the reseach as well.)
