Most sealed state zanpakutou would work out quite nice when made from a high carbon steel and given a good heat treat. Shikai that might work: Sode no Shirayuki for sure Kazeshini? The shaft seems kinda thin and wielding two of those? Wabizuke? Blunte side forward  and an extreme point of ballance. Would work like an axe. |

All right, time to tackle a series long established in the fantasy sword realm: Final Fantasy. This series is full of impossible blades (buster sword), but there are a few that look like they could work. To narrow it down, I'd like to focus on the swords from Final Fantasy XII. A link to images of all the swords attainable in the game below this line. finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Final_Fantasy_XII_WeaponsFocusing on the swords, there are a few cool looking ones that would work. Granted the Ultima two handed sword is the same as a buster sword practically, but the Wyrmhero blade looks perfectly doable. Most of the single hand swords seems like they would be plausible to make and to use. Some of the katana and ninja swords and uncouth blade designs, but they could be made and most could be functional if not entirely practical. Thoughts and opinions anyone? |

Wouldn't Karas' [Otoha's karas form from the movies Karas: The Prophecy/Revelation] katana or maybe the tanto carried by the Medicine Seller [from Mononoke/Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales] be viable blades? well more-so the furniture on the latter.

I'll begin this thread with a sword from the original crazy sword comedy manga, Rurouni Kenshin. Not Kenshin's sakabato (there's already too many of those on the market), but rather the sword of Makoto Shishio, the Mugenjin. Mugenjin is a traditional katana designed to maintain its sharpness. Many katana will chip and break at certain points with repeated use, however the Mugenjin was methodically chipped so that it wouldn't lose its edge or crack. The end result is a traditional katana with a minute saw like edge (the comic implies that you need to see the edge up close to see the serrated saw like edge). My understanding of traditional katana tells me that this sword couldn't be made. Because of the hard edge of traditionally made katana, chipping the edge from the beginning would likely crack the blade and make it useless. However, if you were to make this sword more like a beater, that is, modern steel and not treated like a traditional katana, it may be possible to bring the sword into existence but leave its functionality questionable. The ever minutely serrated edge to the sword interests me. The fact that you'd need to bring the blade close up to actually see it makes me wonder if it could possible be made for a traditional katana. With a beater and a lot of time and detail you might be able to make it but I doubt it could be mass produced easily. If I was more text savvy I'd upload a picture of the blade from the comic but I don't know how to do that on this forum. If anyone can explain this sword concept more clearly than me please do. With all this said and done for the first entry into this thread I hope I have set the mood. Any interesting sword you've seen from an anime or read in a manga that you'd like to debate whether or not it could be made or even functional please talk about it here and help this new thread grow. Hope everyone (or at least the anime/manga demographic) will enjoy this thread. I have wondered for a while what would happen if you made a sword with powdered steel technology, and added stellite to the mix. Correct me if I am wrong, but stellite is the hardest metal in existence, but it is too brittle to make a blade of it. The stellite particles would wear more slowly than the other metal in normal use, giving a fine irregular sawtooth edge, and would chip from hard impact, giving the sharp chipped edges like flint and obsidian knapped knives have. Am I on to something here  BTW, the sharpest edges I have ever seen were broken pieces of a TV picture tube. Some of those edges went to near invisible, and looked like they would be many times sharper than anything metal  And don't ever break a TV picture tube unless you know the proper procedure, you could end up dead, or wishing you were with thousands of pieces of glass in you from 6 inches down to near microscopic    |

I feel like Dynasty Warriors should be mentioned in here. Some of those weapons are a bit... excessive. Such as Zheng He's claws or Taishi Ci's Iron clubs. Im talkin about the old ones, not the recent game. However, its one of my favorite series and the weapons are what make it worth while.

Give me a budget of 30.000.000 and 10 years of research and I'll give you a functional senbonzakura. >)

This was AWESOME. It shows just how difficult it would be to use a sword of this size. The guy can barely lift the damn thing, much less swing it with any sort of focused power. His recovery time could almost be measured in minutes. ROFLMAO! +1 to you, man. I haven't laughed that hard on the SBG in some time.

Another one from Ruroni Kenchin, can't remember what it's called or who wields it (Broom head) but it's the beltsword thing. where it wraps around his whole abdomen and he uses it like a whip. |

while I admit it has some pretty over-the-top weapons... if I recall correctly, all of the swords in Samurai Champloo are pretty practical. Some beautiful designs, too. I'd love to have a production model of Mugen's sword... though in functionality it would be pretty much identical to my Heron-mark blade.
the action is pretty over-the-top, too ;D
gotta love the scene where they burn the cannabis field.
