The katana was a real piece of work back in those days. The longswords were mass-produced and nowhere near as sharp as a katana. It took much longer to create a good katana than crafting a longsword. While swords were often used maces and morningstars were a favored weapon against heavier armor due to the crush factor.

#4 I thought the same. They try to slash like trying to hit with the katana instead of a proper slashing motion. And they thrust with the katana horizontally instead it being vertical.

The katana cant break through old norwegian viking armour.

The viking longsword can penetrate all japanese armour.

Vikings FTW

A high quality katana could have won. but it is not about the equipment, it is about the man behid it, an how to use it. A white guy with a Katyana (making uhm and oof sounds) looks a bit weird. (I would look weird holding a katana)
