is it just me, or does it look like the Samurai in that clip are having their swords pulled from their hands telekinetically or magnetically? |

Heh, just keep clicking pause/unpause like a maniac - you should be able to get a good 2 or 3 glimpses out of it. And then watch it in regular time from a distance and notice the look on the middle guy's face  |

I have just a minor point here..
Could it be Hiro?
After all, he could have frozen time, and taken it all.. Remember back to Vegas when he was swapping poker hands, and rigging the roulette wheel, and things of that nature..
So I'd say that him being able to take away everyone's weapons wouldn't be too far out of the realm of possibility here.. |

| Hahahaha Jorm! I was scrolling down to post and you basically beat me to it. I'm not saying it's NOT TK, it totally could be. It just seems like from the "unconfirmed" spoilers that PK got us from his friend that at least neither Kensei nor (obviously) Hiro has TK. And we also know from the same spoilers (but I'm sure many of us were thinking this on our own anyways) that Hiro will help Kensei look like more of a hero than he really is. That could totally be a scene where Kensei is TRYING to be all hero-like and show those fighters HOW to fight and Hiro makes it look like he pulled their swords from their hands with TK. I know that scene happens in real time, but who knows how many different ways they can show hiro's power work. They don't have to show him actually taking the sword from every hand. I don't know just a thought. Because as FAR AS WE KNOW, Hiro causing that fits into the context of the situation more. |

but i think i can see the weapons leave their hands, not just disappear like they would if Hiro had done it.
Maybe not. |

| I know that's why I said "i know that this scene plays out in real time. but there's no restriction on how they show hiro's power." it's so fast even they did "fly" out of their hands, the camera angle is so close to them holding sword hilt that hiro may just be grabbing them from the end. As we've seen with Sylar, sharp edges on ancient samurai swords just don't seem to hurt heroes hands in these shows. lol |

I thought the first guy (the one closest to us in the video) was holding a stick of some sort, but it turns out that I mistook the "stick" for one of his fingers. However, when the video is played in real time, it does indeed look like something could be leaving their hands (or coming to them, if the video is in fact reversed).
I think the only other possibility is that there are no weapons, but rather these samurais are doing some sort of fighting stance and are about to engage in battle (or training), hence the particular positioning of their hands/bodies.
Not too long until we find out!  |

I doubt its just some fighting stance, nor is it reversed.
Look at their expressions, something odd has just happened and they are surprised. |

Hell, I'd be suprised too!
I mean, here you are, all set to kick some serious butt, so you've got a good grip on your weapon, and you're tensed and ready for action!
Then, all of a sudden, you're bare-handed, and facing a nasty-looking fella that means business..
I'd be just about ready to wet myself after seeing that my sword or whatever was gone from my white-knuckled grip..  |
