百人斬競争
Wikipedia definition
1. Contest to kill 100 people using a swordThe contest to kill 100 people using a sword is a wartime account of a "contest" between two Japanese Army officers during the Japanese invasion of China over which of them could first kill 100 people with his sword. The two officers were later executed on war crimes charges for their involvement. Since that time, the historicity of the event has been hotly contested, often by Japanese nationalists or revisionist historians seeking to invalidate the historiography of the Nanjing Massacre.
