Quote:I said at random not as a whole. For instance Colonge. The one that practices Martial arts tea cerimony and a few others. An army can be seen farther off. Expesially with air power. Bandits on the other hand... those are going to have problems. Even if only 2-5% are that dangerous its going to cause issues for forces. Also, 17.9% are listed as being over 65. The ward has 14279 people per quare kilometer. Thats a large pool to draw from. I think the aera is around 5 squkms so thats 71,395 total or 3989 people and if on;y 5% are combat capable that means 199 random dangerous senoirs. If only 10% of those are as dangerous as above thats still 20 old MA threats.
you're not going to see the average granny or hot dog vendor practicing some obscure or ridiculous style that lets them cream flocks of black belts.
Also, when their are nuts with swords doing random raids... people find that joining dojos is a good thing. Guns are going to be kept out of the general populous at large. So melee it is. So as time goes on the numbers will increase. It also won't be hard to find instructors for your level.
The time before the wall will be the worse. Though with constrution vehicals and MAs it won't take near as long as it should (for the time) once the stone is found. Give them 3-6 months and the city will be fortified. With towers and walls.
Yes, powerful youki will be tough... once they figure out the problems they can teach spirit wards and the like at school for the grunts. The immediate area will take a bit to invade... the bulk are in Nerima's modern place. The question is how will the youki react that are left... I mean the forest has a city in the middle. Even if they aren't hostile to start they are going to ask questions.
I'd need a good map to guess more. Nerima land locked so getting a harbor would take a while... also no cargo ships. so a oil derick will have to be air lifted.
