How Jiro can experience the smack of cold hard steel remains an enigma since Kazuma's Gantou is made of rock.

"...real life isn't a shounen manga, kid." Kazuma replies as he kicks up the chain when Jiro tries to wrap it around his foot. He then buries the rock-sword hard into the ground with the chain wrapped around it, though his grip on the hilt never wanes.

"Are you about done? We've only been at this for a minute and I've already tossed you around like a rag doll twice already. You're lucky I'm not aiming to kill you or your internal organs would be pancakes after that last hit - if I didn't cut you outright.

Don't tell me you didn't realize at least that much."
