FULL SCRIPT:
This is an UMI, a special flexible sword used by martial arts masters in the 1500s. It's made of multiple razor-sharp strips about 5t long. And because each one was forged extremely thin, it made them flexible like a whip. And when swung hard, these strips could hit with enough force to cut through skin and bone. But because using the weapon without injuring oneself required intense training, it was abandoned quickly.
