What Thunder Swordsman does
A sweep of light turns you into an anime swordsman at night in a yellow coat patterned with white triangles. Thin golden lightning crackles around you before you open your eyes and grin.
An anime swordsman crackling with golden lightning
You become an anime swordsman in a yellow triangle-pattern haori as golden lightning crackles around you. Waist-up photos work best.
Still looks like you
The video opens on your exact photo, so the face, hair, outfit and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
A full transformation in one shot
The change happens on camera in one continuous take, so viewers see the before and the after in the same clip.
