Raikiri — the “Thunder Cutter” — is one of Japan’s most feared katana. According to legend, its master clashed with the Thunder God itself and survived. But what actually happened beneath that tree in 1548?
In this episode of History’s Most Dangerous Katana, we uncover the real records behind the myth: a wounded samurai who refused to stop fighting, adapted his tactics for decades, and became known as Oni Dōsetsu — Demon Dōsetsu.
This is not just a sword story.
It is a story about survival, reputation, and why some blades become immortal.
Check it out here and let us know what you think!
Hope you enjoy!
Kind Regards,
Kei, Matt & Team from the History of Katana
