The Subway Samurai aka The Light Rail Avenger - in memoriam

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Kairo Seijuro - the man, the myth, the legend.


Several years ago, a katana wielding samurai by the name of Kairo Seijuro confronted train passengers engaged in a fistfight and pacified the situation with just a steely gaze and a firm grip of his tsuka to demonstrate his lethal proficiency.

Would you be foolish himself to challenge this man?

Sadly, he has since passed away.

Brooks said shortly after 9 a.m. Monday a woman who was out kayaking saw Jacintho’s body floating in the water off of Austins Beach and called to report it.

During the search Jacintho's kayak also was recovered. Brooks said it had two samurai swords – also known as katanas – strapped to it.

Lt. Tim Celli, acting chief of the Clearlake Police Department, said Jacintho was known for carrying a sword with him everywhere around the city.​

A true samurai to the end. A warrior never goes anywhere without his sword, even to go kayaking. He is the hero we need in these dark times. Who will answer the call in his absence?

Is this the guy The Last Samurai was based
off of? R.I.P. great warrior.

"I already had a full 5 stage plan ready to take everybody out."

Put some respect on Kairo's name.

 

[Stoic1]

Sayonara, Sensei.

 

[hohner]

There were rumors going around that he was a huge bitch, but I never looked into it.

rip sword guy

 

[Estemachine]

He'll be missed

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

lol

This guy would have fit in perfectly on Sherdog.


Fun fact: it is legal to open carry a firearm in Arizona restaurants, but no such protections exist for katanas. Samurai prejudice imo.

 

[evansusmc2]

So he committed suicide?

 

[Horse Style]

So he committed seppuku?

FTFY

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

So he committed suicide?

Kayaking accident.

Brooks said the report came in from a 16-year-old female who had been in the boat with Jacintho.

The teen told authorities that she and Jacintho – who she identified as her swordsmanship teacher – had launched a small kayak from Austin Beach, Brooks said.​

At least his apprentice survived so she may avenge his death.

I remember this guy! He went full weeabo giving his "Japanese" name

Good on him for saving the dude

R.I.P

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Oh snap, I finally found the full unedited subway incident. Look at that unwavering determination.

Thoughts, @Ogata ?

 

[weed]

RIP in Peace

fortunately, we're still in good hands

 

[IloveTHIS]

this guy woke up every morning just PRAYING he would have a semi justifiable reason to slash someone with that thing

Oh snap, I finally found the full unedited subway incident. Look at that unwavering determination.

Thoughts, @Ogata ?

Not bad but not niten ichiryu. The two sword style can attack and defend from all sides. Before that one must master the right and left brain hemisphere which requires kujikiri training.

This young man did well I suppose.

 

[faustian]

The hero incels need, but not the one they deserve

 

[I'm Shawn Spencer]

That's sucks. R.I.P. samurai dude

 

[Blayt7hh]

He drowned in a lake?? Did he not know how to swim?

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

RIP in Peace

fortunately, we're still in good hands

Not bad, but bottle no hit back.
Let's see if he can maintain his composure in a live confrontation.

this guy woke up every morning just PRAYING he would have a semi justifiable reason to slash someone with that thing

Yes, and his prayers were answered that day. Do you not recognize what an unbelievable stroke of luck that is? To fantasize about a scenario every day of your life only to have it play out before you like you've always imagined it. Not only that, but he ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE and seized his moment of glory when the opportunity finally presented itself.

On top of that, it was recorded on video and went viral! For a brief 15 minutes, he was on top of the world. Idolized by millions of weaboos like the anime rockstar he always knew he was deep down inside. What a fuckin legend.

He drowned in a lake?? Did he not know how to swim?

Perhaps he was carrying cheap American made katanas that weighed him down. Not light and indestructible like superior Nippon steel hand-folded 10 million times by ancient wise men.
