@@afromarco005 No he's not, he's just not skilled at using a 3 section staff. But he clearly knows how to use a sword and can fight barehanded. He was trained by Maki, beat up dozens of bullies effortlessly, Kamo remarked on his skill, etc. Saying he's not a good fighter is false.
I thought he labelled it as 'icky' to use during the fight with Hanami, based on its cursed energy, but it would make sense given his combat knowledge with the weapon that its just hard to use.
Because toji is the only one that can use it as it's only good if someone skilled and strong uses it, imagine toji using this against gojo without infinity he would lowkey lose because the spear with the chain is so good with that range 😭
@@petergeramin7195 Maki's main weapon of choice is a guandao, essentially the Chinese equivalent to a naginata. A polearm with a short blade for slicing. I think she also uses some other kind of one-handed dao too, but I might be mistaken. Also Toji's Inverted Spear of Heaven seems to take influences from Chinese weapon design, namely the meteor hammer and a baat cham dao, or ving tsun butterfly sword.
Would love to see a video where if the guys had to duel each other what pop culture weapons they would go with, without their opponent knowing then after the choice compare to see who would have the advantage in a fight!
I LOVE those things. The learning curve is REALLY high tho. It combines the skills of a bo staff, nunchucks, eskrima sticks, and a chain. Going back and forth between styles makes it super hard to cope with. Mastering this weapon changes your perspective on all simple weapons.
@@silmeerman9471 Yeah but a staff usually hits stronger, is way easier to use and has longer range, like comparing a sword to a spear, they have their own advantages and weakness, but a staff is just better in most situations
The main problem I see with a three section staff is that because of how you use it you *must* limit your movement. Just use a normal staff, not only can you use it as a... staff, but also the binding part is just a thing that every pole arm can do. Another problem is that a flail is distinctly worse than any other striking weapon simply because you can't create nearly as much leverage and it will uncontrollably bounce off your opponent. Just use a staff or bat, it will always be far better
The orientals could hide their three-section staves in their clothings in the old days perhaps. It would be rather difficult to hide a 6-foot pole anywhere. Also, if the sections were made of solid steel, the striking power of the three section staff could be substantial when being swung like a whip.
I remember someone else talked about the Playful Cloud, saying that three section staffs are one of the most complicated weapons to learn due to the middle section giving you limited range of movement and limiting its usability
From footage I've seen of the use of both weapons id still call nunchucks more complex to use safely. This weapon has a ton more options of how to use it, but unless you are full on grabbing one far end and flailing it around you can't really hurt yourself with it, it just has a bit more versatility in how it's used. Practically any movement with Chuck's can hurt the use of they aren't careful and focused at all times
@kylethekidable well, maybe you’re right. I’ve handled nunchucks before very briefly, and I personally didn’t care much for them; it seems like a steep learning curve just to be somewhat proficient with the weapon. I guess Playful Cloud doesn’t have quite as steep of a curve in comparison, though.
@@murphythelatecomer4608 I have as well, and from what I've heard from actual instructors is nunchucks are the kind of weapon that you either have an innate knack for or they aren't worth learning unless you just really really want to. Id say the learning curves are even in complexity, just different in application. Chuck's are way easier to hurt yourself with, but overall, they have two uses, close/midrange deflection or binding, or close/midrange hitting like a flail. Playful cloud has so much versatility that the learning curve of how to use it in different ways seems much harder to me, but you just don't have to worry as much about hurting yourself. Other than sharpening the ends and scratching yourself, there is very little way for anyone but a complete dummy to really hurt them self. Either way, both are dope weapons that are harder than the average pointy stick to learn to be sure 👍
It’s just that feeling of her carefully guiding you into a mindless state and right when you realize you’re falling you find yourself speaking without thought “yes”
One thing a lot of people forget about ninja weapons is that they weren't designed to be great weapons, they were farming tools that they learned how to use as weapons because they weren't allowed to use real weapons. Then you could walk around town with what looks like farming tools and then use them as a deadly weapon. Nunchucks were flails meant for processing harvested grain. Sais were small pitchforks. This particular tool was used for lifting up bales of hay.
I remember i first learned of the sansetsukon in "Juken Sentai Gekiranger" so i was excited to see one again in JJK. Oddly enough, i rarely see it in anime and tokusatsu.
It's probably my favourite kobudo/kung-fu weapon. I've put almost two years into it. To be good, you have to be at least familiar with the staff, nunchucks and twin sticks. It takes a lot of skill, but after you get the hang of the nunchuk-y flips it gets real easy to use, you just have to drill the standard flips a lot. Personally, I think the most practical way to use it is as a pair of sticks, doing all of the twin stick stuff you know from kali or kobudo practise, with the flail strikes as a backup option to surprise the opponent. Basically it is a pair of sticks, that has some of the combo attacks ending with a flail strike from either side, when you suddenly have 2 or 3 extra feet of reach. The "binding mode" when you use the chains and the center segment needs to be kept in mind, but it is extremely unreliable and situational. Ditto for the full-length flail strikes - those are fight-enders, because either you demolish the target or get countered to death due to the extremely slow reset. I will kinda call bullshit on the bladed tips, you lose useful grabbing length for scratching damage with piss-poor blade alignment. Mace-like spikes would severely limit the weapon's usefulness. Single spikes on the ends would be safer and slightly more useful.
Playful cloud scales with the physical strength of the user so the stronger someone is the stronger they can be with playful cloud. That’s why it’s a special grade
@@RayPoreon would you rather have a staff that may flex and bend and absorb some of the impact force when you hit something, or a cursed tool (but its a 3 section staff instead) that doesnt waste any of the energy you put into it? thats basically how the weapon works.. probably.
@@vsbung The 3 section staff wastes *most* of the energy you put into it since all you're hitting with it's the momentum of the weapon itself since you cannot drive through a blow. I haven't seen JJK, so I don't know how any of the magic involved works, so I was just speaking of it's real world counterpart.
Was first introduced to this via the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. I loved how that movie showcased how Gordon Liu had to go through a bunch of other weapons to finally learn how to master it and completely overwhelmed his opponent due to its versatility both defensively and offensively. Much like nunchucks, though -- and as stated in the video -- you have to put in the time to make it work.
I have this weapon, I literally have an actual 3 section staff I've had it for years, and to this day, I still don't know how to use it. The only person that I've ever seen using the 3 section staff like a freaking badass is Jet Li
I loved how cool and complex 3 section staves were when I saw Ban using one in the 7 deadly sins. His actual weapon is actually 4 sections instead of 3.
Some weapons can be picked up by regular people with no training, and for the most part, it's fine, not too likely to hurt themselves(or others depending on if you're training or in a fight). Then there are weapons like this 3 section staff or nunchucks, that require you to train or you're probably gonna hurt yourself. I like when shows keep some aspects of realism within what's going on, even if magic exists and it's fiction.
Fun weapon but you know what would be better? A staff of equal length. More reach, more power transfer, more structural strength and thus ability to poke and more and more...
