Since fencing with katanas will usually be depicted as being an "honorable" manner of fighting, it will in most cases be implied if not stated outright that using firearms is despicable, cowardly or somehow "low". If on the enemy side, expect a katana wielder to at least be an Elite Mook, if not a Big Bad or The Dragon. The katana wielder him/herself will also be considerably more agile and skilled than any other weapon wielder. A skilled fictional katana wielder can slice bullets in mid air, chop gun barrels off and even slice other swords not as cool as the katana off at the hilt. Further, merely wielding a katana makes one a superhuman fighter. A katana in fiction (and on film, Every Japanese Sword Is a Katana) can slice through anything as if it were butter. Different areas of the world developed and used different weapons to fit their unique situations, and for the most part, they were all pretty balanced compared to each other. Of course, in real life, a katana isn't inherently better than any other type of bladed weapon. Rule of Cool says swords are cooler than guns and tends to also hold the katana to be the coolest sword. Japan is the country of origin of a large number of games, movies, TV shows, myths, and legends.
