I…want…NOOOOOOW.
Thinks of Kiro with a sword and runs. Oh, and hi Aldred.
Howdy.
Whoa, look at the full view. Badass shape. =o
Hey, check this out. <a href=“http://www.weaponmasters.com/?ID=WEAPONS&FDX=&FMAX=&SORT=&ITEM=JL-SS5B&SORT=&FDX=&FMAX=”>I’m Setzer!</a>
EDIT: Hey, I saw this sword over here! http://www.weaponmasters.com/images//products/website/uc1239_large.jpg << that one. The handle of the one I saw was slightly different though. And it only cost around 20 US$. :o
Oh well. I still like my swordie best. ^^
I know a guy who got the buster sword. It is TINY in comparison to the original, but the thing is UBER balanced and very light. I was really surprised when I picked it up. I’ve no idea how accurate the masamune is though.
If you had a todler who was going to cosplay cloud, the buster sword is the perfect size though. lol
adds the masamune to the list of swords to get with the witchking and narsil
While the buster sword is pretty spiffy, I take offense at the masamune. The actual masamune swordsmiths would die if they saw thier name on mass produced anything. Masamune was the premier swordsmith of old school japan, thats why his name was chosen to define the ass-kicker sword elite of so many games. He had a line of apprentices that made the finest most personalized katanas around. You can’t mass produce the name Masamune, its like making a Harley Davidson out that leans forward and is built out of gaudy, bright colored plastic. Its like if K-mart started a new line of clothes and got away with calling them armani, but still kept selling the sma eold k-mart quality stuff.
Delita: We know, but the real forgers have been turning in their graves for ages, seeing as there is at least one sword in each game called Masamune. And that’s supposed to be Sephiroth’s Masamune, judging by the length.
I’m still waiting for someone to do the REAL gunblade (Instead of the crappy letter opener or necklace).
Random sidenote: The designer of the Buster Sword on Swordsonline is the guy who draws www.reallifecomics.com
The original Masamune would be refered to in the Miyamoto Musashi legends (which seems to actually be pretty accurate to the guy’s life). Sasaki Kojiro challenged Musashi to a dual in hopes to secure a place as a sword teacher for a rich lord. Kojiro appeared with a long sword (which was probably made longer everytime the story was told), and at this point, Musashi, basically invincible and no longer needing to weild a real sword, fought with a stick crafted from a boat oar. Musashi skillfully rushed Kojiro, who couldn’t react quickly enough with such a long sword, and Musashi countered his attempted preemptive strike, and crushed Kojiro’s skull with the broken oar as Kojiro’s sword swung so close to Musashi’s head it cut the material that was binding his hair.
That much seems to be actual history. Pretty intresting.
Miyamoto Musashi is fucking awesome.
EDIT: Hehe. Search for Sasaki Kojiro on Google Image Search and look three rows down. 
EDIT2:
Samurai rush. Kekeke.
OH HELL YEAH.
EDIT: You mean this?
And while this has little to do with Musashi himself, the quote made me laugh real good.
Shut up! I wouldn’t have gotten this scar if we had done things MY way! - Sasaki Kojiro, Brave Fencer Musashi
Sorry pal, flipping coins to decide a duel is not my style. - Musashi, Same game
Silly Caucasian boys like to play with Samurai swords
I like Katanas myself. But a No-Daichi is also cool.
I like her sword. I like her
I want both.

drools over masamune.urge to rob a credit card rising.looks over swords in stock in the house I guess one long ass sword couldn’t hurt =) adds masamune to christmas list along with the reverse blade
its a shame that we do not have honorable smithies that actually did a fantasic job anymore(atleast not that I know of), instead on relying on manufactured or crap of a work most of the time…
Replicas
Lame.
Trust me, you’re not cool for having a blunt dwarf-sized videogame sword on your wall.
Hell, that goes for every movie replica too.
And it might surprise you to know that Uma Thurman can’t use a katana at all. Not with forearms like that. When Tom Cruise did The Last Samurai his forarms were the size of my calves by the time he could use one properly. And I have strong calves.
Piccolo’s calves

Zing!
