These swords in the mythological world are one of the most popular weapons. Its influence on history and culture is significant, from the Japanese age of ikebana to samurai armor and even into modern day video games. There is no greater pleasure than discovering their histories.
The Best Anime Swords:
There are many sword-wielding characters in anime, but only the most interesting swords can rank among the coolest of them all. You can forget ninjutsu, haki, quirks, devil fruits, and all of the other powerful abilities seen in anime. Instead, let's consider swords.
If for no other reason than because swords are just so cool, most melee fighters prefer these great blades. However, when you delve deeper into the details of a sword, you'll often uncover some fascinating lore and backstory that make the weapon all the more interesting.
A sword can possess special characteristics and abilities like anime powers. A cool name, creator, owner, and relationship with wielders can be part of their traits. Some of the most interesting things about these swords you may not know. Here are some of the coolest swords we've seen.
1. Enma
Zoro's arm thinned quite a bit after a single slash with Enma, unlike the other swords he wields. It appears that Enma has an appetite for a lot of haki, as evidenced by several slashes with Zoro's other swords. A sword's wielder loses haki when he wields it, and that is the price he pays for its assistance on the battlefield
Using haki-infused techniques, Enma is tamed and harnessed. Zoro's creator, Enma, is also related to Kuina and her family, so its roots are even deeper. The only sword that was able to scare Kaido's invincible skin was Enma. It was formerly owned by Kozuki Oden, who killed Zoro and inherited it from his daughter Hiyori.
2. Lostvayne
One of the seven Sacred Treasures of Liones Kingdom is the Lostvayne, a short one-handed sword that is assigned to the Seven Deadly Sins. As a result of the group being branded as traitors of the kingdom, Meliodas sold the sword Lostvayne to fund his pub business.
By dividing Meliodas' power equally between himself and the clones, Lostvayne allows Meliodas to create clones of himself. His Full Counter ability will still work with all of his clones to its full potential, even though his power has been distributed. Amazing!
3. Murasame
Murasame is a long katana used by Akame, an Imperial Arm. A cursed poison inside it kills its victim instantly, thus earning it the name One-Cut Killer. Only by removing the affected area as soon as possible can one prevent death.
If the wielder can cut themselves with these anime swords and resist the curse, the Trump Card's ability, the Little War Horn, will enhance their battle abilities. When released, the curse will wreak havoc on the wielder's body, even if the weapon is destroyed.
When the Trump Card is activated, Akame will take responsibility for those who died because the Murasame remembers all of its victims.
4. Nozarashi
In In Bleach, Kenpachi's Zanpakuto was named Nozarashi-a name he, himself, did not know until much later.
Knowing the name of a sword is crucial to unlocking its full potential, one of the many mysteries of the series. The sword that Kenpachi never developed a bond with, appeared chipped and worn from multiple tiring battles due to why he never had that bond.
Nozarashi's screams can actually be heard by Ichigo when he is fighting Kenpachi. Ichigo's Zanpakuto informs him that if both a sword and its wielder lack trust, their strengths will overpower each other instead of blending together in harmony.
5. Zangetsu
It is Ichigo's personal Zanpakuto, which is named Zangetsu. Initially, it appears to be a chef's knife of the same height as Ichigo. Later, it appears as a long, black sword with a manji-shaped crossguard in Bankai form.
He had to fight many battles until he was able to wield the Final Getsuga Tenshou against Aizen to prove he's worthy of wielding the sword. 'Final Getsuga Tenshou' transforms its user into Getsuga himself. A single use of this weapon drains Ichigo's Shinigami powers and reverts him to human form.
