There can be only oooone! ...Aye...
The Demoman

With a twirl behind his back, leading to a horizontal slash to the unfortunate neck that stands before him, a taunt with the Eyelander or Half-Zatoichi will cause the Demoman to perform the decapitation taunt. The Demoman concludes his short decapitation by bring his blade back and running his fingers down the length of it. The decapitation will kill anyone caught within range as the blade swings across them, rewarding the player with a new head to their collection with the Eyelander equipped. However, a kill with the decapitation will not contribute to any achievements involving performing kills with the Eyelander.

Killing a player with this taunt, however, is considered "honorable" by the Half-Zatoichi, and will allow the player to sheath their weapon.

As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during a stalemate, or humiliation.
