        Even in a Japanese setting, I didn’t know you could just buy a katana out of nowhere and freely carry it around.

          There were knife and souvenir shops in Spain that sold katanas. Don’t think they were sharp but I always wanted to have one when we went there on vacation. But they were too expensive. But we did get some shuriken, nunchakus (I got some padded ones because I was the younger child) and a butterfly knife.

          It has to be an authentic samurai sword since they’re kid of a national treasure. If not, there’s specific rules about transporting it to and from your dojo and stuff.

          Source: got my shit help up in Japanese customs when I had a very NOT ahthentic katana in my household goods. Went 3 months without my stuff

      For some reason my local thrift store had a few katanas and random other weeb tier weaponry at it.

      Naturally my friend bought one.

      I’d reckon from his parents, but I never saw the incident myself. You know kids in high school though. Spread a rumour and it catches like wildfire. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a machete.
