The whole video was set up to prove a point from the beginning - that plate armor is useless and that the katana is the uber-sword. Look up Thrand's video response to the R. Lee Ermey video, and you can see the flip-side of the debate. Even if you go by that video, the katana penetrated, like, 1 inch of the plate armor and got stuck, so if Nobunaga tries to thrust he's just opening himself for an attack.
