![]() ![]() ![]() Even apostles in their true forms can barely stand up to the sword, and often have their bones and internal organs heavily damaged by an attack from the weapon. The sheer momentum of Guts swinging it can tear anyone caught in the attack impact into pieces with one swing this often is applied to more than one enemy at once, cleaving through multiple foes in a single swing. Given the sword's incredible size and weight, the Dragon Slayer functions more like a bladed maul than an actual sword, though Guts is more than capable of using it to cut through various targets. Guts uses the empowered sword to deal a blazing blast to the Kundalini aiding Daiba, causing the magical beast's large water form to dematerialize. In the bay of Vritannis, during Guts' battle with the Kushan wizard general Daiba, the Dragon Slayer is imbued with the power of a fire spirit of woe summoned by Schierke. With this knowledge, Guts runs the Dragon Slayer through Slan, causing the abrupt dissipation of her troll guts form. When Slan manifests a rudimentary form in Qliphoth to meet Guts, the Skull Knight intervenes and notes that the Dragon Slayer has been tempered by the malice of the countless malevolent astral beings it has slain, and is therefore capable of wounding Slan's assumed form. Guts runs the Dragon Slayer through Slan's assumed form. When Guts returns to Godot's abode two years later, Godot sees the wear and tear the Dragon Slayer has been put through and decides to reforge it. Embarking on a warpath against demonkind afterward, Guts makes effective use of the Dragon Slayer against evil spirits, possessed monsters, and particularly apostles. The Dragon Slayer was kept in storage for years until it is discovered by Guts during a fight against an unidentified roaming apostle, where the Black Swordsman wields it with ease and slays the apostle in two swings, shocking Godot, who thought the sword's weight made it unusable as a weapon. The Black Swordsman slays his first apostle. Angry at how crude and impractical the Dragon Slayer was, Godot's liege lord threatened the blacksmith's life, forcing Godot to flee the castle town and settle down at his mine. Tired of crafting ornate weapons for nobles who seek elegance in their armaments, Godot took the task seriously, creating the huge, but unusable, Dragon Slayer. When the castle town's sovereign, a king, sent out a proclamation to all of his vassals to forge a sword capable of killing a dragon, Godot's liege lord entrusted him with the task of doing so. I couldn't imagine having to swing this bitch all day long, I think after an hour or so you'd drop it and pick up a lighter tool.Godot creates a sword fit to slay a dragon.Īs a young man, the blacksmith Godot lived in a castle town far from the hut he would one day call home. I think this sword is more suited for intimidation effect in limited combat, like a dual. If you're planning on an extended battle, this is not the sword to carry, something lighter, on the order of three pounds, unless you're facing mounted, then a longsword or spear for reach. That was actually my first impression when I first saw a sword like this, that the rings were to counter the momentum of the sword when it goes deep, drag on the backside to keep it from sinking all the way in and becoming trapped under cleaved armor. The rings might be useful for pulling that heavy cleaver free of armor and flesh, but they might also be added for a bit of drag to prevent you from burying the blade too deep in flesh or light armor and getting it stuck. I think there is something to the jingling to ward evil spirits, these were typically superstitious people. You want center of gravity on a sword closer to the hilt, otherwise its just an axe that looks like a sword. When I was a kid I was told the Earl of Sandwich died from eating too many sandwiches when I asked how he died. I always laugh at people who do no research but post erroneous bullshit on topics like this. When you are on a battlefield of 100s or thousands of enemies, you'll want that weapon back out in a twist and a pull a fraction of a second or you die. Obviously it's pretty gross so no one mentions it. So the air can get in so you can pull them back out. That is why butcher knives and cleavers have holes in them. The rings will help you dislodge it.Īlso, there is a suction that takes place when you stick anything inside a human or animal body. So, these city slickers think they know better than all the warriors of the last thousand years what works and what doesn't? Hah, must be retard day on hanbonforge! Ever had to wield a sword in battle? Ever had to pull a sword lodged in a head or into a torso? They don't come right back out. ![]()
