I think they wanted to honor his Glorious culture by making him a kenjutsu master, only to fall right back into stereotyping. They'd do something similar in a later movie by making him gay to honor the Glorious original actor, which only pissed him off.
Still doesn't explain why he had that that thing with him in the first place, especially if phasers can do the same with a simple point-and-click.

Pike specifically picks him because he's aware he has combat experience, though doesn't mention what that is. Sulu may have just assumed Pike was into his swordfighting skills.

Mind you, the movie also had a scene earlier establishing that Pike didn't recognise Sulu, so now I'm curious how he found out about Sulu having any skillset at all.

Apparently he (rightfully) assumed that all Japanese know Karate, Ninjutsu, or the art of Bushido.

In TOS, the script where Sulu is shown fencing originally called for him to be wielding a samurai sword. George Takei requested it be changed to fencing to avoid being too sterotypical.

They keep fucking up Sulu without Takei's consent. It's kinda funny, really.

Their reasoning is what's funny. "Surely the faggot would love if Sulu was a cocksucker, right? Let's also replace that terrible European sword with a Nipponese one."
I am astonished they haven't put a rice hat on him yet.

Maybe Star Trek 4 will have him be Captain of the Excelsior, so he can give his new crew a rousing speech about honor.

Takei did it to himself. No sympathy here.
All he ever did was complain and act offended and entitled. An OG SJW.
...and still: Spoony did nothing.

True. He's to faggots what vegans are. Can't tell people often enough that he likes dick.
