Ps:“一口剑” isn’t very often used nowadays,instead Chinese usually use “把”. But you can see this word used in Wuxia
I love these videos SO much!
Great as always! I hope to see Vietmanese showing up. :)

Spoiler: it's happening soon!
Sidenote: in Taiwan we use "一個人" instead of "一口人"

Makes sense because Taiwan speaks Traditional Chinese, while mainland China speaks Simplified Chinese.
is that a coincidence that everything becomes ku and ko in japanese?

Interesting observation! One reason might be that out of the seven final consonants of Middle Chinese, thrre of them can end up becoming "u" in Japanese. So you end up having quite a few words ending in "u", including "kū" and "kō" (written as "ko" + "u" in Japanese)
