Using a shield despite wearing full plate

No copypasta, just someone who's used a shield before.
Kayden Torres
fun fact: axes and spears are the best weapons
Lincoln White
What if we're jousting? A shield comes useful then.
Joshua Reyes
You've posted the exact same list of dumb bullshit the thread had already been arguing about twice.
>someone who's used a shield before
I trained kendo for a while, so I'm an authority on using two-handed swords in actual combat?
Xavier Ward
But that was my first post in the thread.

a situation I'd address by first establishing the door as ax-appropriate, next putting a fireman's ax somewhere nearby, and then allowing the PC with an axe to use his as a concession, since ax wielders might like to smash things for the fun of the game.

And adaptation being 1:1 means jack shit, because anime is a different fucking medium. The sense of pacing is entirely different and with the inclusion of music, voices, colour palette and actual movement is a lot harder to implement properly. An adaptation that's exactly the same as the source material isn't guaranteed to be anywhere as good as an original purely because it might not translate well to a cinematic format.
Conversely, this means that an adaptation could potentially be better than the original while being vastly different because an adaptation is meant to be adapted to the new form, not be a perfect copy of the original.

I can see that happening. It's not like every late-medieval/early modern plate was of royal quality, munition armor was kinda shitty as far as plate goes, iron with some phosphorus.
That said, someone in munition armor is going to a lot of better places to kill its wearer. And even a piercing isn't a guaranteed wound, because padding, specially in case of munition armor, in which the one-size-fits-all demands lots of padding for some.

A guy I knew had the only specifically wooden shield in all D&D PCs, because he was terrified of rust monsters, and he had already lost fucking good equipment because of them.
