During the heat of battle when their arrows become useless due to the enemy’s close range and their swords have been wreslted off their hands, this little blade, usually attached to their sidearms can become their lifesaver. During short range combat, even metal armors don’t stand a chance.

Many people are fascinated by Samurai Swords, particularly because have been glorified by movies that depict such exquisite had-crafted works of art as among the most deadly of weapons.

The blade is so sharp, it slices in half a watermelon that accidentally falls on it. Pretty neat, huh?

Anime swords are not actually synonymous to samurai swords. Amime swords are, in fact, quite different.  They tend to be straighter or at least crafted in a shape that is not the same as a regular samurai sword. More fun can be had in designing and crafting an anime sword. There are no traditions such as Samurai to follow and the artists have free reign to make it look as different as possible.

These katana blades are easier to use during cosplay play fighting poses and are also much better looking than plastic swords.  Apart from Cosplay enthusiasts, the websites probably also have in their circle props men and movie set designers who have probably been paid to scout around for realistic looking swords that can be used for video shoots for television, movies or commercials.

 It would be interesting to note that there are several different sword styles as used by various soul reapers or Shinigamis in Bleach, an anime story. One of the Gotei 13, Lieutenant Renji Abarai actually possesses one of the most unusual anime swords, the Zabimaru. The Zabimaru is purple and has several segments, each with a pick-like protrusion.

Samurai X also features another interesting sword – Slahser Batusai or Kenshin Himura’s reverse blade katana, into which his most fearsome blade was transformed after he put his gruesome past away and decided to live simply. Sanosuke’s sword is also unique. It is actually a large sword which has no sharp edge but is able to squish his enemies. Sanusoke was actually defeated by Kenshin Himura. It was after this battle that Sanosuke decided to put away his sword and learns hand to hand combat. Finally, Roronoa Zoro of One Piece showcases the most unique sword style – the three sword style often referred to as Santoryu.  This style involves a sword in each hand plus another in the mouth.

Eichiro Oda has again successfully written One Piece, which has grown in popularity within the world of Anime and Manga. The Strawhat Pirates, which was brought to life by this series, puts forward Roronoa Zolo as its most skilled and popular member. Captain Luffy, Ussop, Sanji, Chopper, Nami, and Robin join Zolo’s band of pirates to terrorize the seas. Zolo’s bounty hunting days enable him to master the three sword style, Santoryu and this is now where the rest of the stories revolve.

The story highlights the power of samurai swords as well as anime swords at peacetime but more especially during combat. The history of the swords is also interesting. Zolo actually holds one in each of his hands and another in his mouth. The one that Zolo actually holds in his mouth is the Wado Ichimonji, which was a gift from an old friend turned rival who had also already passed away. The history of this sword will probably be enough to fill a whole season of Manga.

A lot of people like to dress up as their favorite characters. Cosplay conventions are increasing in frequency and popularity. It is not uncommon these days for malls to be seemingly invaded by anime and manga characters since the costumes have become more and more realistic.

For those who want to show up as one of the Strawhat Pirates or as Zolo himself, this real katana Yubashiri First Sword of Zolo-Replica is a must buy. It will add authenticity to the costume which other cosplay enthusiasts will surely appreciate.
