Question

Note to moderator: You may want to read the answerline first. Description acceptable. One of these objects, which bore the inscription “To my brother…the only man I ever loved”, was falsely claimed to be pawned for 250 dollars in El Paso. (15[1])A man broke a 28-year blood oath by creating a new one of these objects, of which he said “If on your journey, you should encounter God…God will be cut.” One of these objects was stolen after its owner was hit by a rock salt blast from a shotgun and buried alive in a “Texas funeral”, but they got it back after using the (*) three-inch punch (10[1])to escape from the coffin. In a bloody showdown at the House of Blue Leaves, this weapon killed Johnny Mo and most of the Crazy 88. Budd tried to sell one of these objects to Elle Driver for a million dollars, but was killed by a black mamba hidden in the suitcase of money. (10[1])For 10 points, name these weapons made by the legendary Hattori Hanzo, who gave one to the Bride in her quest to kill Bill. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Hattori Hanzo swords [accept swords in Kill Bill, or swords used by the Bride; accept katanas in place of “swords”; prompt on just “swords” before “Hattori Hanzo” and accept afterwards]
