Another unique sword shown in the show is the sword of Sanosuke, a large zanbato which has no edge used to crash and smash his opponents. But after he was defeated by Kenshin Himura he stopped using the zanbato and then decides to use hand-to-hand combat.

He tested his luck by throwing it into the air and holding his arm willing to be cut, but luckily the blade circled around his arm.

One of the most valued weapons in face-to-face combat is the sword. It is highly versatile and practical. In every age, we see different types of swords wielded by numerous types of warriors.
During the classical era the Romans revolutionized the use of a sword. Most famous for its impenetrable defense, the roman legions have one of the most functional weaponry of their period. Roman legion is an organized, highly trained and highly equipped group of soldiers. They have a heavy javelin called “pilum” used to throw at their opponents on long-range and a short sword called the “gladius” used for stabbing enemies at close-range. The gladius is highly functional because roman legionnaires value their defense so they need a large shield and quite a heavy armor but they cannot carry heavy weapons so they used short swords to complement their way of killing.
After the collapse of The Great Roman Empire, came the medieval period which further revolutionized the use of swords in warfare. Most of the armies at that time carry long and heavy swords used for hacking and slashing their enemies. One of the most important swords of the time is the Cold Steel Two Handed Greatsword. It is multifunctional because it can fight numerous types of armies just like cavalry and pikemen.
Unlike its European counterparts, samurai swords are not just killing weapons, they are a work of art. They serve as a status symbol in the society. Because of how samurais value their swords, it is a home for some myths about fantasy swords.
