From Cloud’s Buster sword from Final Fantasy to Guts’ Dragonslayer from Berserk, giant swords are iconic in various video games, anime, etc. Intentionally over the top and unrealistic, of course... but are those huge slabs of sharpened metal perhaps good for something in the real world?
Let’s dive into some potential ways of using a sword-like object with this kind of size (although not the same ludicrous weight). I’d rather use a more reasonably sized historical two-handed greatsword, that’s for sure. :)
