Yakuza thug Chaka challenges Revy to a quick draw contest, with them drawing when the soda can he's holding hits the floor. Not to be confused with the 2013-2014 Hulu series. The sword analog of this trope is the Iaijutsu Practitioner in a Single-Stroke Battle. The Western Showdown at High Noon among shooters is the classic setting for this trope, but it can appear in pretty much every genre with guns, and the best of best at this game will often earn the title of Fastest Gun in the West. You may also have the firearm in an apparatus that sends it directly into your hand. Shooting from the hip is a way to improve the speed of the draw at the expense of accuracy. Subverting the quick draw by removing an adversary's ammunition before the showdown is a well-known ploy. Guns and holsters are commonly altered to make the quick draw more effective. Which of course led to it being expected in any genre work depicting said history.īecause the trope is so well evolved, there are many refinements. This is instead a case where the fictional trope shaped popular understanding of history. There are few records of such fights ever happening, probably because without the mentioned Instant Death Bullet, being a split second faster will not save your life even if you are also accurate. Other cliches include having two guns on the gun belt, thus allowing shooting with a gun in each hand. This is critical to their ability to deliver the Instant Death Bullet rather than receive it, although they may choose to blast the gun out of their adversary's hand. Thus, a key characteristic of many gunfighters in The Western and other genres is their ability to field their weapon of choice with lightning speed. The one-on-one gunfight with revolvers is a derivation of the more ancient practice of duelling with flintlock pistols and before that, the duel with swords.
