When I was around 6-7 I watched my first anime. It was a dvd from target so I’m assuming it was a movie and must have been from before 2011-2012.
It started with the Mc sleeping in a tree, going into a kendo dojo (I think) eating and then stealing someone’s wooden sandals. At some point he kicked someone during a fight and the enemy was acting very cocky and then realized that the kick had broken his sword’s sheath and might have seriously injured him otherwise. Around the end there is a scene where the MC catches the other fighter’s sword between his palms. That’s really all i can remember and any help would be appreciated.
