Cyril taught me a lot about misdirection in magic.

This idea of doing the unexpected—

when everyone's focused on the ordinary—

has become my thing.

I'll use this as a base to create something interesting.

It will take another week.

So, stay excited.

Jiro, let's show him this real quick.

My elevator has "shu ha ri" written on it.

Protect,

break,

leave.

The meaning really clicked with me.

“Shu” means protection.

It’s about following the rules and teachings.

“Ha” is when you start to break those rules

and find your own way.

And then there’s “ri”, leaving.

It is when you've totally mastered it

and can create your own new teachings.

That’s when you’ve truly become a master.

I think it’s an endless journey.

From there, new things are born.

There is a constant cycle of life and rebirth.

And the butterfly act expresses all this with a

single piece of paper.

There’s something I want to show David.

This is an old book on Tezuma.

Around 150 years ago.

This is the butterfly.

Thank you.

I come from a long line of samurai.

I held my first sword when I was five years old.

It may look like I’m consciously moving

my right and left hands.

My hands are just moving naturally as I use the

looseness in my hip joints.

It took me seven years.

[interpreter] It took me seven years.

Seven years just for this.

My katana is where I feel spiritually at home.

I’ve been asked to cut all sorts of things.

I now have six Guinness world records

for cutting things with swords.

I also sliced 6mm BB gun bullets,

flying at 350 kph.

As the BB is flying toward me,

I unsheathe the katana.

And then I cut the BB.

I'll show you for real.

Extend your arms.

That’s right.

Yes, yes, okay.

At first, I can't remember exactly what I broke,

maybe a block.

My master told me to do it on the spot,

without any preparation.

My little finger broke because I was inexperienced and

did it poorly.

At that time, it did hurt,

but the joy of breaking it was greater.

This part.

Through to there.

Totally fine.

I’m okay.

In martial arts, there's a concept called "Toyama no me,"

which means you train to look beyond that point.

Tell me when you’re ready.

If you're aiming at a specific point

and you only look at that point, you stop there.

But if you look beyond that point,

you naturally go through it.

If I seriously go for it,

It happens quickly.

I feel like I'm quickly reaching my body's physical limit.

This might sound like a bit of an exaggeration.

But basically, the more I drink,

the closer I feel to death.

It hurts.

The faster it is,

the more painful it is.

I think David has a very high psychological tolerance.

His psychological threshold is higher than his physical limits.

I don’t want to imagine what’s in my stomach.

So, well...

It doesn’t look easy.

In terms of history, it can be traced back to

at least the Edo period [1603-1868].

From historical documents,

we know they had eating competitions.

It goes down faster if you don’t chew.

You want it to get packed in tidily, like Tetris.

Yeah, I discovered this technique.

It's become standard for all competitors to do it this way.

Man, that makes me really happy to hear.

Not many people around me can imagine what it's like.

I’m happy to find a kindred spirit in what I’ve been

doing alone for so long.

Two of spades!

Let’s go.
