HOW BIG IS KENS SWORD?!

[SephirothVII]

KENS SWORD MUST BE LIKE 8 FEET LONG, THE HANDLE ALONE IS AT LEAST 2 FEET LONG AND THATS A BIG HANDLE...THAT SWORD MUST BE AS LONG AS SEPHIROTHS AND AS THICK AS CLOUDS!!!!! HOLY FLIPPIN SHNIKIES OF DEATH!!!!! THAT SWORD WOULD WEIGH LIKE 250 POUNDS AND KENS JUST LEANING IT ON HIS SHOULDER!!!! EITHER HE IS VERY STRONG, THE SWORD CUTS OFF RIGHT ABOVE THE SCREEN, OR ITS MADE OUT OF TINFOIL!!! A TINFOIL SWORD WOULDNT BE TO EFFECTIVE, A SWORD THAT CUT OFF AFTER LIKE 2 FEET IS PRETTY POINTLESS AS WELL SO MY ONLY OPTION LEFT WOULD BE THAT KEN IS A SUPER DEMON RONIN OR JUST VERY STRONG FOR HIS SIZE...EVEN THOUGH THE SWORD MAY BE ABOVE THE STANDERDS OF BELIEVABLITY, THE FIGHT SCENES WITH HIM MUST BE THE COOLEST FLIPPIN FIGHTS IN THE WORLD!!! INDEED...*SIGH* ^_^ <<--PROUD OF HIMSELF!!

FUDGE...THAT SWORD LOOKED GOOD IN THE LITTLE BOX I TYPED IT IN BUT IT WAS DEFORMED GREATLY WHEN THE POST WAS...POSTED...POOPYNESS ABOUND...TOOOOOOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAAAAD...

Ah, now here's my question:

Which is bigger, Ken's Zanbato, or Guts' Dragon Slayer from Berserk?

Keep in mind, that I'm talkin' about the Dragon Slayer, which is the sword he gets AFTER the eclipse.

oh, Kens' by far! Infact Ken's sword would be totally impossible for a human to carry, and true Zanbatou (as I'm sure you already know) were wielded by four to five soldiers and used for ramming horses that were carrying enemy officers. They weren't really swung much, and kept mostly horizontal to the ground, but that's not nearly as cool as swininging it like it's weightless! Ken's not actually as strong as Gattsu, who could take any human, but for unknown reasons Ken can lift a sword that's much larger than the dragonslayer.

[Bathhousea]

oh, by "unknown reasons" I mean they're my characters so I'll just have them do whatever the damn I want them to! And having a giant sword is cool, so that's why he's got one. So now I guess the unknown reasons are known...

[Fievel the wonder mouse]

So does Ken weild the Zanbatou one handed? Or does he have to use both hands and can only use it with some difficulty like Sanosuke?

Yeah, Gattsu (or Guts, as the US companies would have you refer him), is pretty damn strong, especially when the brand takes hold of him. Considering he weilds the dragonslayer with one hand and can swing it as if it were a mear foil in a fencing match. Crazy...

Oh, and I've now determined with much deliberation, that the main ingredient in Root Beer is heroine, as it's horribly addicting, and to be without it for more then a few days causes spasms, loss of movement, cotton mouth and insanity.

Ken will do with his Zanbatou whatever I consider seems coolest at the time. If that maeans using it one handed without and problem then so be it! He will infact use it one handed, as Sano does in the first season openning on the Kenshin series (because it looks so damn cool!) And yes, rootbeer is horrible addictive and you're pretty much screwed when it's not available as a beverage of choice.
