Wrapping It Up: Heroes Across Cultures

We'll close by reflecting on how Samurai and knights, despite being oceans apart, shared some pretty universal ideas about being a good person (who also happens to be great at sword-fighting).

So, whether you're team katana or team longsword, there's plenty to admire in both these warrior traditions. They remind us that being honorable and brave never goes out of style – even if plate armor and topknots might have.
