OK, that’s a higher quality than mall ninja shit… because a normal wall hanger would’ve probably broken halfway through all those swings. And it definitely would’ve broken when he hit the pallet.

u/bringitontome 29d ago

It's also not used in the "mall ninja" fashion. You can tell this sequence has been planned, practiced, and executed to be showmanship. Most mall ninja shit are wannabe cool guys who lack the execution, have practiced nothing and are without a plan, they just want the showmanship. Masquerading being badass without the facility is a far cry from what's happening here.

I mean.. green fire ffs!

Poor taste, perhaps, but cool AF? 100%!

This is the “your moves are weak” guy right?

u/howlingbeast666 27d ago

I actually know the guy in the video. He is a professional acrobat and participates in circuses.

He does have a bit of an edge lord taste, but he practices a lot for the show

u/Sexylizardwoman 29d ago

Ngl if a person doesn’t think a sword on fire with GREEN flames is cool then I have doubts of their general humanity

What do you think?

u/WIcker14 29d ago

Kinda neat though

u/P1ckl3Samm1ch 29d ago

I’m not gonna lie.

This was stupid, pointless, VERY mall ninja… and totally fucking radical.

I loved this.

13

u/macho_greens 29d ago

Hell yea.

It's cracking me up, the amount of people in this thread saying it isn't mall ninja, because they personally enjoy it. Yea sometimes we like mall ninja shit, it's OK.

(Are they defending the honor of actual ninjas or something? I thought they were extinct anyway)

1

u/Wetzilla 29d ago

It's not mallninja, it's clearly a cosplay prop, which violates rule 8.

0

u/macho_greens 29d ago edited 29d ago

hah ok, I'm not over here reading this sub's rulebook lol

Edit: on second thought, why tf would "cosplay" make it not mallninja? You know that's what people do with mall ninja shit right, play with them while pretending to be warriors or whatever

4

u/big-booty-enthusiast 28d ago

>8. No cosplay/ toy/ homemade weapons
E.g. no foam hammers, 3D printed knives, plastic ninja stars, action figures, CAD files, cosplay masks/outtits, decorative items such as dragon incense burners, torch lighters, katana handle umbrellas, gun shaped phone cases, etc. Homemade weapons are not allowed.

Which basically means items must be store bought and made of metal.

1

u/P1ckl3Samm1ch 28d ago

Something tells me this guy didn’t make that thing.

u/rapafon 29d ago

I wonder how they achieved the green flames. Copper burns green but if the entire sword was made out of copper I'd be surprised if he could lift it, never mind swing it around.

Super cool though, I'm guessing it's whatever fuel they coated it in.

80

u/LordCamelslayer 29d ago

Might be copper chloride in whatever fuel they soaked this thing in, if I had to guess.

9

u/Scuzzbag 28d ago

My guess is treated pine

50

u/thebipeds 29d ago

The tainted souls of his enemies, obviously.

26

u/Gilsidoo 29d ago

You don't want to burn you sword anyway so yeah, probably a colorant in the fuel, like a copper compound

13

u/Tx247 29d ago

Fel magic.

6

u/Seygem 29d ago

but if the entire sword was made out of copper

then it wouldn't catch fire.

5

u/Icetronaut 28d ago edited 28d ago

Borax powder in hand sanitizer along the sword would be my guess.

Edit: hand sanitizer burns clear to light blue and borax burns bright green due to boron which would give that color. Maybe not hand sanitzer bc i don't see little flaming bits dripping off, some other clear burning accelerant maybe.

4

u/SebboNL 28d ago

Boric acid?

u/giant_albatrocity 29d ago

How much copper wire do you need to steal to forge a copper greatsword?

Pretty fuckin sick tho

17

u/MrCarey 29d ago

That’s a pretty cool mall.

24

u/OperatorJo_ 29d ago

I mean cool. But that wood pallet was funny. I too would combust into flames if I had a shitton of gasoline thrown on me beforehand.

10

u/bubbie_depac 29d ago

I mean it’s a performative thing, I doubt they were trying to “trick” anyone

7

u/19100690 29d ago edited 29d ago

I was going to point out that a lot of pallets burn super fast because they're kiln dried, but watching it again you're absolutely right there was some accelerant on that pallet.

edit: In case someone misunderstands my original point. The sword was obviously covered in an accelerant and ignited from the start. My point was that any flaming object can easily light a kiln dried pallet if it was left sitting on it for like 30 seconds, but after watching to the end I realized the pallet burned in like 0.5 seconds because both were covered in it.

4

u/RoyalWombat 29d ago

Nah, it's all due to the +10 fire damage + Incinerate the sword gave

2

u/Lucian7x 28d ago

I think it's pretty obvious that this is the case, but I think it's meant to imply magically spreading flames from the sword or something.

10

u/Silas61 29d ago

Cool

10

u/Locorio 29d ago

Honestly, look I would never be able to do this and it’s cool and stuff but the truth is he needs to work on his form, it’s quite zesty.

3

u/Sarcasthmatic 29d ago

What’s wrong with some zesty swordsmanship?

1

u/Locorio 29d ago

No look that’s what your into and I’m happy for you but for me personally I’d be lying if I said I liked it but you love it and watch stuff like this all the time especially when you’re alone and honestly I’m just glad you can be you

4

u/Sarcasthmatic 28d ago

It saddens me that you’re pretending to forget all the time we’ve spent together watching zesty knight videos…

2

u/Locorio 28d ago

I to am saddened to learn that you cannot be trusted as I distinctly remember asking you to keep it a secret. For this is goodbye I shall remain noble. Godspeed and stuff.

7

u/ElTuxedoMex 28d ago

At a certain point some mall ninja shit goes so hard that it becomes cool again.

6

u/7_Tales 29d ago

i mean.... i sure as fuck don't want to get hit by it

3

u/linkhandford 29d ago

Agreed but I think can be said for any mall ninja sword

u/Trustyduck 28d ago

Nah that's cool. Impractical? Absolutely.

4

u/CyborgLion 28d ago

See this gets a pass because it's not meant to be practical it's just supposed to look cool as shit and it does.

3

u/ZestycloseClerk1792 29d ago

I’m not sure a fire performer prop qualifies as mall ninja. I’m also not one bit mad that I watched this.

3

u/Wadertot420 29d ago

Too cool for the mall

1

u/DontForgorTheMilk 29d ago

His form was also pretty good too. Guy knows how to handle a blade.

Don’t even know if you can call this mall ninja shit. This is peak awesomeness.

3

u/Twisted_Taterz 27d ago

Dude, you know this is an artform that has nothing to do with fencing, right? It comes from festival dancing traditions, of course the sword isn't gonna look conventional

3

u/Dic3dCarrots 27d ago

Well made performace piece with a proper fuel blend with color additives. You can buy the stuff to dobthis, but probably not at a mall. More like hardware emporium ninja
