We had about 1000 swords this year, so it was more of a die hard turnout. 1/3 of the swords was given out at 3:00, 9:00and 6:00 and the esplanade, and people walked over to the man.

Every sword was bright blue, which made for an interesting scene. Once there were about 60 of us, the battle happened spontaneously. Then I yelled "Everybody go after the red one!"

It was a good battle, with generally two classes of fighters: the gifted sword fighters, and the FX come to tear your head off folks.

Thanks to Keyoshi-San for organizing the event.
