When it comes to badassery, Chuck Norris is on many top 10 lists.

While the goal of American robot fighting is total annihilation, Japan prefers to stick with something a little more gentlemanly in its ROBO-ONE duels.

We suspect there’s more wire fu than meets the eye in this promo video from Japanese mobile operator SoftBank, but it’s still pretty awesome to watch two sword-wielding samurai go at it while floating around with jetpacks. We would so pay to see this movie.
