A new viral video shows a samurai cutting a baseball perfectly in half, which was coming towards him at 100 miles per hour.
The amazing feat is a tremendous showcase of impossible timing and precision as the samurai knew exactly when to unsheathe his sword and cut the baseball in the right spot at the right time.
Remember Tom Cruise as "The Last Samurai?" Forget him. The guy we have on this video is clearly a samurai of the highest order as no ordinary human training could possibly prepare him for this trick.
The samurai's name is Isao Machii who became an instant internet superstar with this video which demonstrated his insane ability to fully concentrate on his target, making him perform at peak human, and some might say inhuman, levels.
With his newfound fame, maybe Marvel Studios could use a guy who could teach them a thing or two about real-life super powers.
Unless, of course, DC via Warner Bros. gets to this guy first and casts him in a live-action film as Samurai from the "Super Friends" cartoon series back in the late seventies to the early eighties.
In the video, we see Machii standing on a platform facing a machine throwing baseballs at him from behind a net.
He was measured standing at 9.22 meters, or 30 feet, away from it. The particular baseball which he cut in half clocked in at 161 kilometers per hour, about 100 miles per hour.
This meant that Machii only had 0.2 seconds to react to the incoming baseball. How difficult was that? The 0.2 seconds of reaction time is faster than the time it takes for you to blink.
Now that is a super feat that only a true samurai can achieve. So how about that Hollywood career, Mr. Machii?
