FIRST ACT: APPRENTICE
NICE TO MEET YOU, KITTY! SAMURAI BOY MAKES A NEW FRIEND
Oneigashimassu!
IN FACE OF THE ENEMY
WATCH AND LEARN, HIKO!
Of course Kitty would not let the first impression be the last one.
But as much as he wants Hiko to watch and learn from his techniques, the final result is, well… awkward 😉
KITTY’S ADVICE
As an old saying states: “If advices were any good, people would sell them, not give them away”. Right?
THE BANANA SPLIT
It is very easy to perform a banana split! All you need is:
a banana;
a friend to share a banana with;
something to actually divide it in two! But oh, wait…
WHAT DOES THE SAMURAI BOWING MEAN AFTER ALL?
Ever wander why do a samurai bow like that?
Some times, we don’t need “meaning” or “reasons” to do things. Just being nice to other people is enough 😉
Hiko thinks his father wants to cut him!
But, hey, Hiko… it is all about the swordplay… he would never do something that… right?? RIGHT???
Wanna know why the samurai practices with a bamboo sword?
Appearently, Hiko does not know it so well!
