(this will be long and possibly go off topic...enjoy)

...What? SO you have the blade try to kill him....and then magic shield saves the boy. I mean Bruno mars Catching a grenade osuned bad but this?! Theres a 50/50 chance of actual death involved. I mean......WHAT?! What happened to a normal going up to there parent or guardian showing how you`ll care for her. I seriously thought this was a ritual for blessing an actual blade. So its men to men showing how the man loves the woman........wait something up........Wheres the woman in all this. Doesnt she get a say in why a sword is going into her loves face? I had to get someone to explain this entire ritual to me since its so...weird....What ever happened to the guy giving up his pride and saying it, Now we need to add a blade. In my day men proposed to us by getting on there knee`s to our papa asking us in private before the whole engagement happened. That boy dropped his pride for his lady. WHY GO TO STABBING EACHOTHER?! He said he was gonna care for her and support her. Now theres these man beating wives with your Breaking bad and your Ray Donovans and your Chris Browns...Wait what was I talking about...... oh yeah magical shields... The wording sounds basically like a wedding proposal for Ninja`s and.......Ninja wedding that does sound awesome....But anyway, back to human understanding. In logical thinking this would result in SO MANY dead peeople and people straying from marraige that the rate would go down 20%. And even then...IS THERE A SUPPLY OF MAGIC BLADES FOR MARRIAGE? Is there a center full of magical wedding husband blades? And if this is a way to get Apollo (who btw is disabled from his description) to show him that Raph is a good man for him SHOW HIM NOT DO A BLADE TEST!! The male mind is based on actions and how we live. We power through things to see the goal to the end as we let our actions decide us and our history. This all seems like too japanese folklore to make actual sense.

WHy not oh IDK SHOW RAPH BEING KIND ANDSWEET AND PERFECT FOR HER INSTEAD OF A MAGICAL BLADE!!!! I Mean my god. you know how easily exploited a test like  that can be in this universe of buddyfight. Magic can be recreated but a human and their interactions cannot.

Im sorry if I rambled and gave you an unsatisfactory answer but....their you go Ari.
