Where is the Sword of the Thousand Truths? 😅
I thought you were going to include the master sword from Zelda and the keyblade from kingdom harts
the new(?) usage of the greenscreen is pretty fun. I like the tiny Peter. 🙂
(luckily my gf likes a tiny peter too.)
So… who wants to tell 'em where the Ashbringer is actually from?
Hell Yeah! Happy to see the Gunblade was here. I have always loved this weopon. Both Squall and Siefers blades are sick. I will say it would have been nice to see Cloud’s Buster Sword, Sephiroth’s Masamune, the Monado, and Link’s Master Sword here but the Gunblade is awesome.
Keyblades – The Kingdom Hearts series
When you were partying, I studied the blade.
Disappointing list.
Did I hear, thunderfury blessed blade of the windseeker?
The Blades of Chaos should have been number 1 you bastards
Before watch I say this: Masamune must be here!
OH YEAH! HERE WE GO! SWORDS TIME!!
SOUL EDGE
As much as I love Dark Souls and all of its lore, I am still waiting for someone to explain why there are so many normal sized enemies, but all the heroes and bosses are giants
No Beam Katana from No More Heros
Suprised there were no Devil May Cry swords in the list whether that be the Devil Sword Sparda, Devil Sword Dante, Yamato, Alator or Rebellion.
Monster Hunter weapons could occupie this whole list tbh
Thunderfury! Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
How could they leave out the Blade of Olympus from the God of War series? That is one awesome sword!
I feel like Ragnell deserves at least an honourable mention
The Lament from Destiny 2. A chainsaw sword, created by humanities greatest genius, wielded by a robot copy of himself, fighting for so long and through so many resurrections, that he forgot his own identity
Nothing from monster Hunter? It could have it's own top ten!
Bruh… Sparda?!?!
HOW THE HECK DID YOU GUYS MISS OUT ON RED QUEEN FROM DEVIL MAY CRY 4/5?!?! IT'S A SWORD YOU CAN REV UNTIL IT CATCHES FIRE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!
Rebellion?
some rando neon-lit pos from blops and no soul reaver? some edgy neon-lit pos froom overwatch and no covenant energy blade? shame…..shame
There was even a man at arms reforged episode for the soul reaver too that you could have ripped some b-roll from like a number of others on the list Though i guess then it would have been a list of the 10 coolest video game related weapons made real-ish by man at arms reforged…
True dragon sword
Rebellion
Chaoseater
Sword of olympus
High frequency blade
Frostmourne hungers
