![]() ![]() The body plans on never being dismembered - and as such, it doesn't doesn't have a particular nerve signal that tells you "HEY, ARM CHOPPED OFF" and as such it can't differentiate between "OMG OW MY ARM" and "OMG YOU CHOPPED MY ARM OFF". ![]() It's a little ridiculous here people thinking that they'd know immediately if they lost an arm or were otherwise struck with such a blow - as the body doesn't really have a discrete sense picture that goes along with dismemberment. ![]() If one was sufficiently proficient, they could deliver a single devastating, dismembering/fatal, blow that was delivered with such finesse and so perfectly that their opponent's reaction was vastly delayed as the lack of violence of the strike itself wasn't enough to even break their chain of thought, it's only when their eyes make contact with the wound that they realize something grievous has happened. It refers to becoming so proficient with your sword, your technique and human physiology that you can make a cut clean through some part of a person not only extremely quickly, but while encountering essentially zero resistance (such as from striking bone) In a technical sense, it would be because your muscle control, edge control, technique and knowledge are so perfect that - let's say in a decapitation - the edge of your blade naturally moves only in places in between the bones rather than a sloppier blow that's simply a wild chop. It has roots in reality that go beyond movie/anime writing devices that provide dramatic effect. IE in being a sort of ridiculous event that is habitually used in modern writing due to it being an expedient plot device, and it has its origins way in the past, prior to any animation or movies even existing. This trope isn't even really a trope in the sense that most tropes are. ![]()
