A comic by StarBoyWebcomics posted December 10, 2025. Frame 1: A crowd of people point guns as Star Boy, who faces them with his sword sheathed on his back. “Heh,” one of the people says. “Looks like someone brought a knife to a gunfight.” Another asks, “Why would you use a sword in a world that has guns?” Frame 2: Star Boy puts on his lecturing face and says, “Guns can jam or run out of ammo. A well-maintained sword is always reliable. Besides, anyone can use a gun. Pull a trigger, someone dies – maybe by accident. A sword takes skill. A sword requires you to have the honour to give your opponent a chance to fight back. A sword isn't just a killing machine, it lets you get up close and personal.” Frame 3: All but three people in the crowd have vanished, though only one has noticed. “I use a sword because I don't need a gun,” Star Boy continues. “You don't need a gun when all your intelligent opponents take one look at your sword and run. As for the rest...” Frame 4: “Heads will roll,” Star boy says as, in one smooth movement, he unsheathes his sword and whirls around, removing the heads of everyone who failed to run. “How are those guns working out for you?”
