While I guess the argument can be because it's remnant, for stormer I find it weird that someone with anglo-saxon features is using a katana as a primary weapon. As for Salel, what is the rules for his lightsabers? I mean, how does the hardlight even work? Meh, maybe I'm too much a stickler for fluff. My character uses a partially chinese inspired weapon after all.
Oh don't worry, Insano. I'll avoid making the mistakes of he-who-shall-not-be-named. And this is seeming like the quickest vote yet. Wowzers.

"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Oh thanks for the reminder!
And it's in Columbus, Ohio (C-Bus), weekend of January 30th. Really far out the way of basically everyone here. Mostly joking on it.
I'd actually like to bring up the fact that Stormer's sword is explicitly named after "Raijin, Japanese god of thunder" (?????), because the etymology of the word Japanese implies the existence of such a country in Remnant. Other characters get a pass either by not mentioning the country or having an excuse—Ayers offhandedly mentions that Hrunting and Naegling are named after his grandparents, for instance. Murasama is also a misspelling that is (presumably) from the very real Brazilian / Japanese cultural exchange and development that was brought to the fore with Jetstream Sam in Metal Gear Rising.
