Masamune, Sephiroth’s Katana (Final Fantasy VII)
What did we tell you? Di-gi-tal fucking armory. Masamune is the third sword in this list, the second katana, from the Final Fantasy series. And quite possibly the longest sword in history. This sword is someone answer to them pesky spiders who hide just out of reach.
The Masamune is designed as a Japanese odachi blade. The design and color of the tsuba (guard) and tsuka (hilt) have varied from appearance to appearance, alternating between blue and gold and entirely black. The blade’s exact length varies; usually measuring at least as long as Sephiroth is tall or slightly longer, which would make it approximately six-to-eight feet long. The angle of the curve of the blade also varies, but it is never entirely straight.
Clocking in at between six and eight feet this odachi is nothing to be trifled with although in the hands of anyone but Sephiroth it is not nearly as scary. This is demonstrated by Tifa Lockhart’s brief and disastrous attempt at using it.
