Making Soul Edge & Soul Calibur - Soul Calibur IV - MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED
I love the fact they took the lore into account for the forging process
Way better than Hollywood and Netflix has done so far
I think Ilya earned his pay this episode... That is a huge amount of forging he did.
Colin Campbell he always deserves it tbh without him most of the projects aren’t possible tbh
Ilya is a being made of holy light.
i don't think that is the case, his trait is making armor/shields and engraving if im not mistaken. They have other guys to forge stuff, like Sam.
Colin Campbell Ilya earned enough pay for the next 4 videos dude lol
(Dude’s incredible with his craft!)
@@paulogmf What are you talking about? Ilya does all the forging, and Sam hasn't worked there for a couple years.
Ok... ok... ok... as soon as I got the notification I thought: whoa, this is big.
When a game in its entirety gravitates around two swords, one of which was literally *made* with the shard of the other and MANATARMS makes both is... too big to comprehend.
And they made them both so much akin to their in-game models. You've truly outdone yourselves, you guys.
"Bravo" doesn't even begin to describe your talent. These are your masterworks. Keep up the good work and stay true to it.
You deserve all the praise. Excellent.
I agree these are amazing, and these guys definitely put a lot of masterful work into these builds, but I would have to say I still think that the engraved Excalibur is some of their best work (in my opinion). I would honestly be curious what they thought was their best project...
"I am glad a new SoulCailbur is releasing, so I can stomp on the newbies" -French Lady
This sponsorship and collaboration was a brilliant idea. Whoever at Namco took this serious to get it to happen deserves a raise and solid respect in the PR and advertising departments.
Not only did they foolishly create the evil sword but some idiot grasped the hilt. Thanks for dooming the world guys with your amazing, mind blowing builds!
Nice reference
Foolish humans... they mess with powers beyond their understandings.
IS THAT A COMPLEMENT OR................................. SOME THING BAD
@@ashrafceeyen play the game and you will understand what he said. Geez
@@justine-3667 ManAtArms need to start building gohan's first sword
Your longest and best episode making my favorite weapons from my favorite game. I can't like this enough!
"Like a plow." The realization that Soul Edge is so huge, that it's like a giant sword made from a plow...
Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold.......
Chosen by history, a man become a warrior, engraved into history, a warrior becomes a legend.
Welcome back to the stage of history!

Just as shadows are cast where there is light, history hides away more than one truth.
The soul still burns...
Can you make a video where you show all the weapons you have built yet? That would be awesome ;-)
Abso-freakin-lutely !
They get commissioned for somw of these. They would have to contact the owners.
@@TheKrensada I think they can't do that cause most of these are under copyright so they can't be selling them. Legally at least.
I agree.
@@Anastassssssssssssss show not sell
Making swords like this takes a lot of hard work and dedication. And to see all of these swords and weapons come to life is amazing and surreal. I have no request, just keep up the good work. I enjoy these videos!
Illiya:"We're not gonna make a sword just to break it to make another sword...so we broke another sword"
I would have never thought about using painted rope as ''flesh'',that's ingenious.
I know of a guy who used foam and other stuff like paint and other sfx materials with anatomical skeletons; making pretty life like "corpses"
No wey
I would’ve not that that matter
"Okay guys. We just made an evil soul-eating sword. What do we do with it?" - "Cut fruits"
Reminds me of that one conversation between morgan and lucina in fire emblem awakening if they're siblings
The fruit had it coming though.
@@RegulaVestus Did you see the way that fruit was dressed? It was asking for it.
One small point of contention from me is that Soul Calibur seems a tad oversized - twice the size bigger than what is seen in the game (Soul Calibur in-game had about the same size of a Jian sword), while Soul Edge is PERFECT! My nitpick aside, you guys did a GREAT JOB!
Yeah, the soul calibur is supposed to be a one handed sword
yeah dude that Sou Calibur was way too big design wise it was spot on but size wise completely wrong
Honestly, to get the amount of detail needed for a weapon as intricate-looking as Soul Calibur, I'm not sure they could've easily done a small sword.
JackgarPrime true, probably correct
Doesn't it work the same was as Soul Edge where it can change it's shape to match the users abilities/preferences?
Make Dante’s new sword,Nero’s sword and V’s staff
you mean the Yamato
FaceFish9 dude it’s devil sword Dante
If your gonna be like that, you may as well be right
Make Vergil yamato
Red queen Nero’s blade YES YESYES
After i watched the video, i hope they make devil sword sparda
But devil sword dante will be nice as well
I think this is my favorite so far. The way the organic parts and the eye pops out, and the general complexity of both builds is really impressive. In addition to that...I might have to get this game, so it's also an effective commercial for Soul Calibur VI. Damn...and here I thought I was gonna manage to not spend a lot of money on games this month...well well
RWBY FAN?!
@@SquidInkPizza through and through
RWBY for life
Make a Sword you designed yourself! 💪
Uhhh, that is a DAMN FINE idea!
They have
They made an Iron Man sword and Wolverine style Batarang gauntlets.
Let's step up this challenge: design a fantasy sword that's both unique in shape and fully functional, as in properly scaled and balanced to be wielded by a normal human being.
Vladimir Efimov Yeah but its been a very long time since they've done their own design. And not a put two fantasy things together but more of made your own fantasy weapon.
I was pumped when you guys did Divine Axe Rhitta because it was so unexpected.. Now let me say this is honestly the coolest thing you guys have made yet.
Huge fan of Soul Calibur, so seeing them come to life is honestly surreal. Keep up the amazing work guys!!
Now the sword you need to make happen - Gut's Dragonslayer from Berserk. I know you did his pre-Dragon slayer sword, which was complicated enough. But based on what you guys are capable of these days, I think you guys could actually pull it off. Best of luck!
I didn't expect you to be here. How have you been?
Heyyyyyyy, Spooky!!!!!!!!
They already made the buster sword from final fantasy, that's pretty much the same in terms of work
2spooky nice to see you here
Hi 2spooky
i am no expert but isn't soul calibur a bit big in the end cause its a one handed sword and its looked like its as big as gerald but i really like you videos
Yeah Idk how it turned out so big.
Your not wrong xianghuas soul calibur is suppose to be jian. A chinese straight sword similar to rapiers. That sword is way too big. Great detail but a huge letdown on its proportion
I was wondering this exact same thing. That sword is freakin' huge.
they probably couldn't make it the right size because the two prongs would've been too weak.
Soul Calibur's shape changes depending on who wields it, so it being a little bigger here can probably be excused as it adapting to suit the style of guys who wield larger swords.
Soul Calibur------ Too Big.
Soul Edge------ PERFECT!
I agree soul calibur needs to be made to be held in one hand not 2
It's difficult to find the right length for the perfect Soulcalibur considering (like Soul Edge) it molds itself to match the will of it's wielder and their fighting style.
Except They made clear, this is Xianghua's, it should have been scaled down. I suppose all the work needed couldn't be done on a smaller piece.
@@remivinet9235 I honestly don't see why it couldn't. They've done fine work before. It's crazy how huge they made it, her version is based off of a small one handed style sword. What they made is almost twice as big as it should be
Soul Calibur ----- Two-handed sword Edition 😅
id love it if you guys talked a little more about troubles you have with builds, like complications, thats if there are any anyway
dark souls 3 nameless king swordspear
That could be cool, but I'd really like to see the Firelink Greatsword or Gaels Greatsword a little more.
Do zabimaru or benehime
@@beefzerkee isnt gael's sword just a huge broken sword
@@adityafawwazafa778 yeah, its an executioners greatsword specifically
Your Soul Calibur was amazing as always, but that Soul Edge blew me away!
@21:47 - Holy cow! You made the chain mail my hand!? I admire your patience!
Fate Series’ Gae Bolg. I don’t care if it’s Cù Chulainn’s version or Scàthach’s version - please, just make this happen!
Totally supported.
Let’s make Cu Alter’s final ascension gae bolg version instead!
YES!!!!!!!!! You guys pulled it off!!! My favorite video game swords are now forged into real life weapons! You guys have outdone yourselves!!!! I am a big fan of the Soul Calibur series and I have been requesting these swords to be made real for so long!! You have now made me a happy man!!!
I wish the Men At Arms would make Tira's Ring Blade, I would love to see what it would be like if it was actually forged
Extremely dangerous to the wielder lol. It would look awesome though.
Tira is an icon, how about Talim herself 👀✨
Kerry's brother looks like a guy i could listen to talking for hours.
I can talk for hours so we'd probably get along great! :D
I have a bunch of interview videos linked on my channel if you're interested.

Ikr, seems like a great dudw
For a second I thought it was Billy Connolly
That's not a sword that's a desk
Thats soul edge for ya
Inigo Montoya's rapier from The Princess Bride!!!
Absolutely! I am so surprised someone hasn't done that yet. It is such a classic.
Inconceivable!
I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using?
@@Infern0 ManAtArms gotta get ready with conan the adventurer starmetal sword

Somehow i remember when ilya won forged in fire by creating spiked shield.
What season and what ep was it
@@SarynPrime season 2 ep 4
@@ScumbagKazuela thanks man 👍
I love how they stepped this up.
Real heart and commitment.
I also love how Soul edge is basically unusable even by one of the strongest guys as demonstrated by it's single test XD
Corvo Attano's blade please!
With the folding action also

@@i0rpheus rly??? God
Prince Ashitaka's sword from princess Mononoke!
One of my favorite animes, but the sword is pretty simple.
I know kids loved this but I’m a purist and enjoy ur technical/ historical builds...those are fantastic and u guys are best by far...
Just watched the entire video, this build was absolutely insane! Nice work crew!!!!
Meta Knight's sword would be pretty cool and original
Please make Herugrim: The Sword Of King Theoden - LOTR
I'd probably go for more elven swords like at Mount doom in the first movie. But he does have a very beautiful blade.
Sebastian Fogh Axelsen I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS! YEEEESSSS
@@starguardlux2874 I have been posting this request for months now, so please go spread the word... We need this ASAP
A pair of guys named Peter Lyon and John Howe hand made all those swords though. Idk if there would be copy-write infringement if Man At Arms made replicas since United Cutlery holds the license for making replicas.
Of course Man At Arms could go by the books and make their own concepts based on Tolkien's brief descriptions...
Peter Jackson knew what he was doing when he made those movies by hiring real blacksmiths to make real blades...
I would ask for Vampire Killer from Castlevania
The Soul Edge from SoulCalibur 2 was even more beautiful... but it would be even harder to do. Major props to these guys!!!
Ok now you’ve gotta make the Valentine from Soul Calibur
That seems a little impossible. lol
I think it's do able. They would just really be testing the limits of their skills.
CalibUr, it's spelled right there in the video title.
autocorrect
It would take an electrical motor to do the reeling
A regular sized Soul Calibur would also look good but man, those two sure are impressive. The rope use is a great idea, really looks the part!
and they got Kayane, favorite episode by far now
Man she's really passionate about the game to have travaled all the way to Oregeon just to see this process take place! It's super cool, and indicative of a larger fanbase revival! Soulcalibur is on a good track right now it seems
i love how everyone worked on these swords. good job guys/girls, amazing work
Soul Edge was Perfecto! Soul Calibur was too damn big (In my opinion) but still is an absolute beauty of blacksmithing. Well done Man At Arms, well done.
Soul edge is the monsterous one.
@@goni2493 I know but thank you nonetheless, lol.
I believe he meant that Soul Edge being that big is fine but Soul Calibur, at least if it's based off of Xianghua's version, should've been much smaller.
@@BoobsIndeed i was thinking that exactly
Why are Cloud and Raiden in the thumbnail?
SPECIAL GUEST REFEREES LEAKED ON ACCIDENT???
Because they're all guest characters, I think?
Rumored guest characters for Soul Calibur 6.

2 years since its release and its still going strong
And with Season 2!
Thank you Okubo!

How about the Coiled Sword/Firelink Greatsword from Dark Souls 3?
ayy great minds think alike
Greatsword of Artorias would be cooler tho
@@morganmcpherson4332 dude they have already made the greatsword of artorias, but the firelink greatsword or that katana from the ringed city dlc, the frayed blade would be amazing
The greatsword of artorias already has been done :)
Can you imagine if they made the the dragons tooth in dark souls
I would really love to see wuuthrad become a real weapon by you guys.
Yes
This is insane.

@@ayporos your god damn right
You think this is insane they made dragon slayer sword from Berserker!
Damn, I remember playing Soul Edge and Soul Calibur on the PS1 as a kid... the memories!
Even if both swords are ridiculous and totally impractical as actual weapons (as the testing showed), the craftmanship that went into building them was nothing short of amazing.
Amazing craftsmanship on both swords and I'm sure it was difficult to pick these two swords out of the many imaginative weapons in all six games. The whip sword would of looked awesome, but definitely to dangerous and problematic to wield around for the demo portion at the end.
Prince of Persia, Knife of time plzzzzzzzz
Build the Greatsword of Judgement from Dark Souls 3
That would be nice but its just a bastard sword you can buy. Just add the engravings that give it no tactical advantage what so ever but hey nice idea. Man i need to chill imma play Dark souls for a while
I like the way you game
I like the way you game
@@AlterFoxEast it has a real cool Color if you've never noticed. Also , it's filled with engravings , so it's extremely hard to do , besides looks cool. Also , not everything these guys make sense. They literally made swords like these in this video , they made Artorias' that nobody could even lift. Yeah...
Na astora greatsword
watching this gave me cloud's buster sword flash backs. its really cool to see the difference between 6 years. these are diffrent swords but its clear you guys learned since the buster sword. its beyond amazing!
Soul Calibur looks amazing, now just hit it with a shink ray.
Been waiting for Soul Edge for a long time, great build! And great team effort in the demo lol. Getting Soul Calibur as well is a great bonus, though I think it was kinda odd how large it was. I'm guessing it is so the two individual blades would have at least some amount of structural integrity? They were wobbling so much as it is. The way it is in the game is definitely an impractical design for a real weapon.
It's a magic sword that reshapes itself and resizes itself. In Xianghua's hands I think it becomes a lot smaller than it would normally be.
Dagger of Time - Prince of Persia
please
Been nearly 2 years and i still can't stop saying these words:
THANK YOU OKUBO-SAN!
Nero's Red Queen Sword from devil may cry 4
already available at Amazon. and I'm not impressed with most of their builds.
Now this is the length of the episodes i want to see more of!
Glad to see Kayane on this video.
Those compete be The most complicated builds they ever did! Impressive!
Im very Impressed with these builds guys great job, and it's so cool that you guys got Kayane in the video she's a fantastic deadly player and quite gorgeous I must say in the future please do Siegfried's Requiem and Voldo's Katars
Or Xianghua's Jian? :p

best episode yet.... love these guys
I've never played the game but these swords are some of the dopest I've seen yet on here so far!! I'm a huge fan I love you guys! Keep up the amazing work!! Can't wait to see what's next!! I know the swords are pretty plain katanas but I'd love to see the dead pool swords! Maybe wrap the handles in dead pool colors? Or put his face on it some how? That would be awesome!!😊
His face on the pummel of the sword would be perfect, little deadpool logos on the end of the handle
I think, that those two are probably the best you ever done till now. I love the eye and the ropes.
you 2 brothers reminded me so much of the blacksmith-brothers in the new GoW game xD
one burly, doing the heavy lifting, one more drawn to science/arts... :D
*Game, Brother.
Haha now that you say it I see it too.
upsie, thanks jack. I've only seen a playthrough of it so my brain kinda didnt realize it wasnt a movie I guess which is why I wrote movie unconsciously...
You guys should make a Firelink Great Sword from Dark Souls 3
Thats literally just a freaking fire prodding tool. Like straight up.
Aside from the fact that you made Soul Calibur a wee bit big, (it's wielded as a short sword by the rather small Xianghua,) this was a treat fully comparable to a special episode of any other show. Thank you very much, guys.
Request: Hiryu's Cypher from Strider OR Sword of The Father from Final Fantasy XV.
"Oh you built a car?"
Man at arms: "nah it's just a sword"
Soul Calibur is TO DAM BIG XD!!!
no human can BARE THAT POWER
Seriously, why the heck did they make it so huge? They used Xianghua's version (a jian, which is the size of a normal sword) as their basis, and yet they made it about as big as Siegfried's (which is a big ol' zweihander)! That just...doesn't make any sense to me.
HAHAHAHAHA IT'S *STILL* NOT ENOUGH
thats what she said.
yeah, no idea why they did this. Soul Calibur isn't massive, at least not when heald by Xianghua.
And the blades keep shaking when used. Would be coller if it was smaller.
You should do the Red Queen (Nero's sword) from Devil May Cry 4, and 5. Bonus points if you can actually make it rev up!
why is Garalt from the witcher in the thumbnail?
ville thomson Guest character in the game
Because he's a guest character in the game.
Cloud and Raiden are the ones that I was wondering about.
Maybe Later alright I didn’t know that, thanks for informing me
because he is the guest character for soul calibur 6. still would have been awesome if they could have a siegfried or nightmare costume
Guest Character in SC VI.
Really love the work and craftsmanship in everything you guys do amazing would love to see a deidric bow 🏹 and sword too
The stand arrows from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
I prefer Anubis.
The Requiem arrow as well?
just forge a statue of Star Platinum... out of platinum.
Please make Inigo Montoya's rapier from The Princess Bride, using period techniques!
you mates should really make sponge bobs spatula
I'm down for that.

Just beautiful, both of them looks supernatural

I'm so happy when i found your channel yesterday :") it's a great work from you
Still comin back to watch this one. So nuts.
Yow... no wonder the comments said Soul Calibur was too big. Yeesh. It's almost the size Soul Edge should be.
How in the world would a 5'0" Chinese girl like Xianghua hold *that* thing comfortably one-handed?
Darius There is logic with the game, itself...rules of the imagined world. Xianghua can't easily use a sword of this size the way she does in the game. So, no, it's not going by the games established logic.
Please make Zoro's black katana Shuusui from One Piece!
