Who do you think has the coolest sword in fiction? Could be appearance, lore, whatever you like about it.

I saw this on my feed and I’m probably going to make a thread on swords in fiction I like, updating it over time

i dont watch too much shows w sword but i think grass sword from adventure time is pretty neat

I have a few, I like Utage's for being the shishiou which if you weren't ever into Japanese sword history (because of tkrb personally) it was a sword said to have slain a nue, I also love skadi's design wise and also the fact it's made of a special metal to withstand her insane level of strength

coolest sword for me has to be the chain whip swords or whatever they're called. I know Whislash uses that but before Whislash, it was Saber Astolfocakes

I love franka's sword just for the elegance in those types of swords but I also like the appearance of netherite swords in minecraft!

I think lio promare's sword is a gender and a half. yes that's his last name now

off the top of my head, franka arknights' sword. i like elegant thin swords with a little decoration here and there

Flamerge's Flamberge (star allies) is neat and is actually what I based one of my own characters' sword off of!! Don Quixote's (limbus) sword lance thing is also really neat

have you heard of the Sword of Khaine from Warhammer? Also known as the Widowmaker? the Godslayer? the Doom of Worlds? the Spear of Vengeance? it is a blade forged from the SHARD of a weapon made for the elven god of war Khaine. I'm cheating slightly since it has no fixed shape. It's been a sword, but it takes whatever form best fits its user. It is said that the sword is always hungry for the destruction and blood of others, exerting its influence and appearing in the dreams of all the Elves. It goes beyond being a weapon and turns into a fucking force of nature. many elves won't even speak of it by name.

Am I going to get smacked for saying Skadi because it's absolutely Skadi even my inherent bias aside
Cool hi-tech claymore?? Sex???

Cloud Strife's Fusion Sword from FF7: Advent Children is my type of sword tbh. Nero's sword from Fate Extra also gets a shotout, I like fire and her umu shaped blade :)

Honestly I like the lich king's Frostmourne, because it is a generic sword that has a balance of regal, savage, and epicness.
