'''119's "Can I Be A Hyena, Cause I'm Going to Laugh!?" Edges'''


 * Primary Weapon: The Iklwa is an effective melee weapon in combination with a shield, however, the lightweight design of the shield means there is a limit to its durability, and may be thrust or cut through. Also, the Iklwa can only be used to thrust, while the Katana and Wakizashi can be used to both cut and thrust, even if they are primarily meant for cutting. Add to that the Ishlangu and Iklwa is really more meant as weapons for formation fighting, while Musashi's Nitai-Ryu is meant for use in a duel such as this one, making his weapons more suited to the situation. Edge: Musashi

Edge: Shaka
