For a moment there I didn’t realise this was about rpgs XD wtf brain!
Apparently there was a whole whip vs sword choreographed fight planned for that, but Harrison Ford was super sick at the time so they just had him shoot the other guy. Ended up being fantastic, but I feel bad for the swordsman who learned a bunch of choreography for nothing.
I always thought it was messed up that Indy fired into a crowd and did it from his hip to boot
Kiritsugu is a debatable example. His gun is only effective because of the Nasuverse’s ridiculously complex magic system. Regular bullets would do next to nothing against most of that setting’s threats.
Then again he’s one of the most feared mortals (despite being kind of shit as a Magus) due to simply sniping his targets when their defenses are down or demolishing their entire hideout with copious explosives - he’s the epitome of “boring but practical”. The handgun and its bullshit anti-magic bullets only come out on the rare occasion where he confronts his targets face-to-face.
Gachiakuta is the latest and greatest example of this I think. Such a fancy power system, basically Stands from JoJo, but you feel shock when a character shows up with a regular ass glock and starts firing.
Dude my jaw literally dropped when that scene hit. seeing all that sick ass shit happening in the fight and then homie pulls out the blicky and just starts gunning people. I about lost my fucking mind
I wonder if the presentation of guns in fantasy anime is at all reflective of how the japanese first experienced black powder weapons. Maybe I am looking too far into it.
