Media "Lionheart" deserves more respect here, we want out the Bushido way!

Those that don't know much about Japanese history would be interested to know that this has real-life parallels to a legendary event that occurred during the Boshin War.

Famously, before the Battle of Aizu, a lone figure stepped forward, laid down his sword and boldly declared to the enemy:

'I've been listening to My Chemical Romance all night. Please just kill me.'

This brave warrior's name, Smifu-san, is etched into the conciousness of Japanese society even today, ensuring the legacy of the Samurai.

his turtle defense is good

you cant be a warrior every five minutes with an L every time.

Emotional pain trumping the physical pain anyone who's experienced a true loss knows this very well some people fall to this pressure and actually do die other people go through the fire and come out better this was Anthony Smith going through the fire literally


Mad respect for him even showing up that day there was no reason for him to even fight in that type of circumstance...


Real samurai shit.... His brother fell he stood next in line with his sword out ready to go

Usually when dudes start wanting to feel that pounding differently than before and harder than before so they can see how it feels they is headed to da ghey

 

[usernamee]

he just turtles up in a defensive shell

he's done this in many fights now

Almost correct (I was there) except that his name was Sumisu-san (スミスさん).

Some people view Anthony as unintelligent for not taking the DQ win with Jones, while others view him as noble. I tend to see Anthony as trying to live in a noble manner. He gets clowned on for getting beat up alot, but he is willing to go out there and believe in himself, so I don't fault him for that at all.
He seems like a guy just trying to be a good human being. I feel for him going through a difficult stage in his life, and I definitely root for him as a person to find his peace within the world.

What a warrior. Loved his work in the "please call a TKO" guard.
