Sushi(すし, 寿司, 鮨) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice(鮨飯,sushi-meshi) combined with other ingredients(ネタ,neta), raw uncooked seafood, vegetables and sometimes tropical fruits. Ingredients and forms of sushi presentation vary widely, but the ingredient which all sushi have in common is rice (also referred to as shari(しゃり) or sumeshi(酢飯)).
Sushi can be prepared with either brown or white rice. It is often prepared with raw seafood, but some common varieties of sushi use cooked ingredients or are vegetarian. Raw fish (or occasionally other meat) sliced and served without rice is called "sashimi". Sushi is often served with pickled ginger (ガリ gari), wasabi, and soy sauce. Popular garnishes are often made using daikon.
History
The original type of sushi, known today as nare-zushi (馴れ寿司, 熟寿司,) was first made in Southeast Asia, maybe along what is also known as the Mekong River. The term sushi comes from an antiquated grammatical form no longer used in other contexts, and literally means "sour-tasting", a reflection of its historic origin as a fermented food. The oldest form of sushi in Japan, narezushi, is still made by wrapping fish in soured fermenting rice, which causes the fish proteins to break down into their constituent amino acids. The fermenting rice and fish have both a sour and an umami taste.
The first Sabre was a former knife thrower named Paul Richarde until he was selected by Modred to oppose Black Knight. Paul Richarde was given an armor, an animated gargoyle. and Mordred's Ebony Dagger (the weapon with which Mordred had killed the first Black Knight). He was defeated by Black Knight after his horse Aragorn kicked the dagger from Le Sabre's hand.
Sabre II
The second Sabre is a mutantsuper villain. His first appearance was in X-Men #106. Young and reckless, Sabre was chosen by Mystique to join her new Brotherhood of Mutants, though never actually participated in any missions. He had the mutant ability of super speed, and took the name of the deceased Super Sabre. It is unknown if he continues to serve Mystique behind the scenes, or if he even retains his powers after Decimation. Hyper-accelerated metabolism augments his natural speed, reflexes, coordination, endurance, and the healing properties of his body.

DEAD RECKONING (FEAT. FIT FOR A KING) LYRICS
I GAVE UP EVERYTHING
WITH BOTH MY FEET IN THE GRAVE
SOMEHOW I FOUND MY STRENGTH
BEFORE MY SOUL HAD DECAYED
REDEMPTION CALLED MY NAME
BUT IT WAS SCREAMING IN VAIN
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD HAS STAINED
NOW ALL THAT’S LEFT INSIDE THESE WALLS IS BLOOD
BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
MY SHAME WAS CRUSHING ME
POISONED REALITY
BURIED UNDER THE WEIGHT WITH A COUPLE GRENADES
BUT NOW THERE’S BLOOD ON MY FACE
I’M RISING FROM THE FALL
BREAKING DOWN EVERY WALL
NOW THERE’S NOWHERE TO HIDE
BETTER RING THE ALARM
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
I’M RUNNING THROUGH HELL
I’M RUNNING THROUGH SORROW
I SEE THE LIGHT IN THE DISTANCE
I WILL PREVAIL THE DARKEST TOMORROW
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK FOR ME
DEAD RECKONING
STARING DESTINY IN THE FACE
MAKING SURE IT REMEMBERS MY NAME
YOU WILL NOT DESTROY ME
DEAD RECKONING
THROUGH THE BLOOD, THE SWEAT, THE SACRIFICE
I'LL BREAK THROUGH THE WALL NO MATTER THE PRICE
THROUGH THE PAIN, THE HURT, THE HEARTACHE
TEARING DOWN THE SKY MY SOUL TO RETAKE
