Assassinated with a katana looking swords/knife

I found a clip on youtube that I want to share with all of you. It is a short clip with an actual assassination done with a “ninjaish” blade. It is tempting to use “last ninja assassination” as the thread title but it wouldn’t be spot on.
YouTube - Inejiro Asanuma Assassination Footage (1960)

The killer was a 17 year old boy. Look how the crowd reacts, suddenly there are japanese buisness men all over the place

I can’t see the video from work but all I have to say is, you are one sick bastard.

SEARCH FUNCTION!!!

You missed all signifigance of this and completely ignored the story, which wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t feature as a previous ‘Badass of the Month’. This thread = FAIL.

I didn’t know that. I will just have to use the search option the next time:)

Question: would you like this thread if you didn’t see it before?

May 2007: Otoya Yamaguchi - A REAL Ninja - No BS Martial Arts

The kid comes out of nowhere with that charge, the politician (or whatever he is) didn’t even see him coming till the last second. That is some legit ninjitsu right there

John Hinckley got nothin’ on this kid. Katana stab FTW

Lol, if only the politician had taken aikido…

Wikipedia says its a wakizashi, but I know I’ve read in Japanese sources that is was a WWII bayonet. It looks like a bayonet in the still photos as well.
