I come bearing an open request for any and all artists who wish to take it on.
Before I make the actual request, I feel a bit of background explanation is in order.
When I visited Japan this summer, one of the places I went was the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni. There, I heard a most interesting story.
It seems that about 400 years ago, the famous swordsman Sasaki Kojirou practiced his sword technique near this bridge, by trying to cut swallows in mid-flight. The term the person telling me this story used for this was tsubamekiri (swallow-cutting).
With that said, my request can be summarized in one word. Subamekiri. That is, Kojirou (James), with a sword, facing off against Satoshi's Subame (Ash's Taillow). All details are left to the artist.
