Innocent peasant walking by

this desu famalam just dont get caught

And defile it with the animal blood? The swords are made to cut people, not animals.

only peasants cut animals and it's a different kind of cut anyway, you can't really calibrate on that

seriously though, that TL note isn't accurate. so-called tsujigiri were acting like gangs at that time and testing katana was just one of excuses for them. maybe that term mainly related to testing katana at first but became a term for samurai attacking someone on the road. the english wikipedia page of tsujigiri is misunderding it so he probably just read that.

Imagine failing your daimyo because your sword wasn't properly tested on a peasant and you cause dishonor in a real fight. That's a straight ticket to seppuku.

if anything, they got executed by daimyo when daimyo found it out
