1. The 5 Most Popular Anime Swords!
Anime swords are like regular swords, only... anime. More specifically, the swords in these
posts primarily stem from the famous Japanese medium of animation and comics. They may
also be called "manga blades," but that's not a universal term. As we'll see in the next section,
some of these anime swords are technically weapons, and some are not.
Anime blades are manga-only swords that can take the shape of unbreakable plastic knives or
electric shavers. Most of these swords were made for entertaining kids and teens, but today
they're most popular among collectors. Here's a list of some of the more popular anime blades
including their known origins, measurements, and weight:
1. Naruto Shippuden The Seven-Tails Sword
This sword appears in Chapter 454, along with the Kyuubi no Yoko (Nine-Tails of Yondaime)
located on its scabbard. It is commonly mistaken for the Seven Swords of Yajirobe because it is
also red and long. In Chapter 494, it is revealed that the sword changes its shape to reflect the
size of its wielder.
2. Death Note
Masaki Okada's manga series nicely introduces us to Light's "Death Note," a poison pen that
lets him kill anyone he wants based on words written from a fresh page. He writes down a
person's name in the book, and then that person dies from a heart attack. He first uses it on
two criminals, but then his next targets include family members and friends, who he feels only

2. get in the way of his plans for world domination. Fortunately for all involved, the notebook
loses its page when dropped into the water!
3. Bleach
When Ichigo was a little boy, he had an orange sword that was given to him by his dad (Isshin).
It's shown in episode 314. In time, he started to go to school and the sword was in his bag,
until he could no longer carry it and left it behind in the classroom.
During his time at high school, he was given a black sword that is smaller than Ichigo's original
one (which had a 35-inch blade). It may have been made by Kisuke Urahara (who is assumed
to be Jigen's father). These anime swords and armor are kept in Nel's Bankai. Today these
blades are called Isshin Swords since they were created by Isshin Kurosaki himself.
4. One Piece
A sword named "Gomu Gomu no Gun" is a steel rope made by Luffy's grandfather and another
character in the series (is he related to Brook?). This is the same type of steel that is contained
within the Rokushiki technique. It was stated in Chapter 270 that this weapon weighs about 20
kilograms (about 44 pounds). This blade has many variations.
5. Shaman King
In some of the Shaman King manga, a long sword called "Kagachi" exists. It has a huge blade
and is used by the protagonist Toji. It's completely fictional, but its existence validates that this
weapon does in fact exist. It's been shown to weigh at least 35 kg (77 pounds).
Anime Swords Today!
Many items could be described as swords – from small pen knives to the large swords of
legend. However, when it comes to anime, most people will be thinking about longer weapons
with forged blades. It's also worth noting that in Japanese culture a sword can refer to an item
known as a wakizashi. These are smaller swords that are sometimes carried alongside a
katana and they're considered extensions of the samurai's soul.
All anime swords are made from steel, but the type of steel used can vary. Where swords will
carry the name of their material it usually indicates the amount of carbon and other elements

from 'nishin' (black steel) has been treated with charcoal in the forging process.
Even the materials used to make Japanese-edged weapons have changed over time: historical
references say that iron was considered to be very effective in olden times but it wasn't until
around 15th century Japan when iron swords first began to be used by samurai as a wealthy
man's item.
The popularity of anime featuring swords is one indicator that people are still fascinated by
these fascinating weapons. It's no wonder either - they can vary considerably in design and
materials, but all have been designed with both beauty and functionality in mind. If you're
passionate about anime swords and you're considering buying a sword for show or for practice,
it's important to know the different types of swords there are.
