Human beings were slaughtered by such blades during the Sengoku Era ( Japanese Civil Wartime: 1467 - 1591 ); however, this is the modern age, the 21st Century. Therefore, in this era, nobody should be killed by the sword or sword-related weapon. We should not glorify any type of killing for the respect of the deceased person.
