  1. Reminds me of the mechanical owl Bubo in Clash of the Titans. A fine Ray Harryhausen creation.

  2. Superlative skills, but don't see this as being very practical if it were donned for combat.

    1. You haven't seen many actual samurai helmets from the classical era, have you?

      This is general-level gear.
      If he has to go hands-on, he's already in a world of hurt.
      And in the day, would do so anyways, hoping the owl would strike fear into his enemies' hearts.
