Anime fight - sword slashing a speeding bullet

Do you remember any anime fight scene where a fighter uses a sword to slash a speeding bullet?

I'm not sure if this happens in many animes, I'm pretty sure I've seen it happening at least once. Thanks. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 13:33, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Supposedly, Isao Machii has done it, there's videos of him doing it, see [1], though it's really a plastic BB, which is I guess technically a bullet (a projectile fired by a gun), though at much slower speeds, but he really does cut it (if the vidoes aren't faked). --Jayron 32 13:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The genuine classical bujutsu technique of deflecting arrows with a sword is called yadome-jutsu. [2] Alansplodge (talk) 17:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

TVTropes has a Parrying Bullets page. Seems there's a fellow in Gun Sword who's so slick, he can even cut machine gun bullets. Don't try that at home. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
