Realistically a giant sword is impractical, the reason it’s practical with Guts is because he swings it as fast as a regular short sword, which means we hit the gym boys

Closest thing to that sword would be the Italian spadone or the German zweihander, large 6-7 ft long swords that are about 6lbs. They way they are used is as crowd control where the swordsman swings the sword around them in large circular motions. A lot of idiots think “I’ll just keep my distance until the swordsman gets tired of swinging his sword around”. Well if you keep your distance the swordsman with the zweihander isn’t going to waste his energy swinging his sword around.
Truth. I also practice sprinting, striking and mobility training.

The zweihander can still be used to throw small, quick and precise cuts, this is just impractical
@@GlorytotheImperium Yeah a zweihander is supposed to be a pseudo spear at the same time.

“The sword was too massive and heavy to rightfully be called considered a sword”
48lbs of sharpened steel!
That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of Iron."**** and The greatsword is an easily misunderstood weapon. A novice feels the heft and striking power of the weapon, and concludes that it rewards pure force. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is an indescribably complex tool, a lever and a thrusting wedge, and when wielded properly would shatter any sword you can name
"MORE LIKE A CHUNK OF RAW IRON"
Boom stick
wouldn't it be a claymore
The practicality of a weapon depends on what you are trying to kill. One person? Maybe just a throwing knife. A giant slow snake monster with tons of armor? The giant sword.
I'll keep an eye out for the dragons.
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178block the thrown knife with the sword as a shield (edit) OH I read that wrong
@@AdamMerlin lol
Still a good plan though.
Well, it IS called "Dragon Slayer." It was made to kill dragons. So it has to carry enough momentum to penetrate the scales and it has to have enough structure to not snap when it does.
That’s probably why most of the weapons from the monster hunter games are so big
Funny how you demonstrated that you would absolutely be annihilated by any real sword

It works with Guts because he has been swinging oversized swords since he was a kid and he is freakishly strong. It is also important to note that, especially when it comes to the dragonslayer, he actually tries to end the fights in as few swings as possible, because the sword is still very heavy and awkward, and he does lose the ability to wield it properly if he takes too much damage. He is much more nimble with the stuff he uses until he becomes the black swordsman, and only can use the dragonslayer similarly after donning the Berserker armor.

The reason giant sworbs are impractical is not because of their combat capabilitys, its because carrying a huge chunk of metal is very hard.
I mean, you hit a plastic bucket. Now hit a man wielding a spear. You can't because you can't reach him and the second guy with a spear stabbed you in the ribs while you tried to, piercing your colon, and putting your dumbass into septic shock.
Really cool, still wildly impractical.
Spears weren't effective in 1v1 combat, they were meant to be used in groups.
@@munchiemunchie5226 source: your wild delusions. Spears are quite effective in 1v1 combat. Every test run I've ever seen has spears come out at the very least as equally effective as swords in a duelling format; usually spears come out on top by at least a small margin. And it's important to note that most of these HEMA people that run these tests are practiced with swords but I've only ever seen one where the spear user wasn't an amateur.
We can't argue against it's impracticality because there's literally 0 giant swords in our museums. 999/1000 you will lose against someone with full control of their weapon.
It looks cool and it deserves to exist and be practiced because of it. Nothing else matters.
Fair enough.
We often forget that majority of melee based weapons weren't swords but actually spears. Turns out stabbing a foe with a long extended reach knife is better than having a long knife, plus you could still use the spear as a tool version of a knife
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 Keep it up. It's amazing to see what you can do with that thing!
@@Crunchymunchys Absolutely. Spears are the king of medieval weaponry. When you mean using it as a tool you mean detaching the spearhead to use as a regular ass knife? I thought those things were pretty secure in place.
Yea the problem comes when you start swinging it and can't change direction mid swing, you are quite literally overextending on every strike with that sword leaving you vulnerable... Kinda like in the UFC if a fighter overextends a punch, his chin is exposed for a fraction of a second longer than if he didn't over extend BUT that fraction of a second is still what gets the guy clipped. We can also talk about how you are limited with that weapon and almost every move and swing is telegraphed by your whole body lol
It is really cool and I would love to practice with one but yea pretty unpractical
Imagine testing this against armor.

@@shootaman2 Don't need to move faster homey. Just need that heavier weapon and the reach. ;)
@@shootaman2 Defenders don't need to move as much as the attackers do, specially if they can easily move away while putting the sword in the way between them.
@@AscendantStoic I get what your getting at but I really don't think its that's simple. You are basically totally relying on your blows to hit. I cant help but feel if the person you were fighting just focused on baiting you then punishing you after a miss they could just make you look foolish. In full plate i could see this sword working just fine but against someone dressed light with a light weapon they could just dance around you since they aren't carrying a stupid amount of extra weight and there weapons are likely decently balanced and super easy to use.
@@billfred9411 Assume both warriors have armor, breastplate at least, also you are still thinking in terms of regular combat, this is not the case here, using the weapon as a shield you can charge at someone with the sword as cover and knock them off balance by battering them then use that opening to finish them off with one blow, my point still is that with this weapon you will have to fight very differently from a traditional sword.

Historically speaking, large swords were intended to be used on the battlefield in a similar niche to spears. They were also useful for dismounting horse-riding opponents or killing horses.

The problem with giant swords is the fact that it can be made significantly less giant and cumbersome without losing any killing potential.
Swords are the inverse of robots, where making robots significantly more giant and cumbersome gains them more killing potential.
Giant robots are fucking COOL.
@@CantComplain3k Na, a swarm of flying explosive robot bugs commanded by IA is significantly better at killing than a mecha or an AT-AT
The other reason being it's too heavy to control properly, you can't bait them into being near you so you get shot by an arrow and die.
I love berserk. I love the dragonslayer. As a fencer, if a normal person tried to use something that is at minimum 40 lbs(closer to 300-400lbs, but 40 works fine for this illustration.), you just need to bait an attack and attack before they are able to gain control of their weapon again.
Exactly. They would have one strike, and if they miss, it's over. A downward strike would end up on the ground, and the opponent could simply step on the sword, as per Fiore.

For the people who are skeptical, its the same principle as a step-back jab in boxing. Instead of your fist, its just a massive hunk of steel.
The only intelligent fighter with experience has spoken. Good to meet you.
Not quite. I think I understand your thought process, but it's flawed. A retreating jab allows for an immediate follow-up, usually a right cross after planting, whereas it would be difficult to quickly follow up a strike with this blade.
Except you're entirely wrong for a multitude of reasons.
1. My jab isn't like dropping a 45 lb plate directly downward into the ground.
2. It does not take a large amount of strength and effort to bring my jab back to guard my chin
3. A direct downward swing like this with a weapon this size cannot be instantly and effectively followed up with a successive series of attacks without greatly telegraphing i them via the complete transferal of bodyweight to control and move it.
If you wanted show off a sword equivalent of a jab, why not use a technique that literally uses the same principle like a thrust?
Probably cause moving a huge amount of weight away from your center of gravity makes it harder to control, and it doesn't attack the stationary bucket sitting on the ground at his feet.
@@abarainosa I never said its exactly like a step-back jab. I said it uses the same principles. You step back and let the gigantic hunk of metal lean forward, then as it leans you slam downwards in an axe-chop. Obviously theres massive differences in fighting with a 75lbs+ slab of iron compared to literally every sort of weapon.
Think about it like this, how the hell did people learn to use 11ft long glaives and 16ft long pikes? Theres obviously a massive learning curve and physical prerequisites you need to meet before even attempting to wield such weapons because of how unruly each of them are in their own respects.
We’re also not talking about just a regular sword, we’re talking hypotheticals about a massive hunk of raw iron and potential ways to use it in battle. Modern humans don’t train all their lives in blade combat anymore and so all we can do is speculate how to use it if someone were even able to use it.
@@jancarlosnatano885 Except that is still not what a step back jab is for. A jab in most uses is to judge distance and set up follow ups. It is a useful tool because it is low energy and low committal and it easily retrieved. Hence why I used the example of a thrust. Unless you are outrageously strong, there is only one direction that sword is going in once it begins moving down That is farther down, unless you use all of your body to stop its momentum and redirect it.
In fact if you watch correctly. He's not swinging it down. He's stepping out of the way, letting it fall and pushing it down once it's past a certain point. He's not stepping back to create distance. He's stepping back because he's letting the weight crash down. He is moving around the weapon, instead of making it move around him.
To your point about glaives and pikes, both had long shafts to grab them so you could better distribute the weight. Furthermore, a large sword like this with a much longer handle would probably be more useful and resemble that of the Zanbato from Rurouni Kenshin.

😂 completly impractical but cool as hell. I'd love to see you train with historical giant swords. I have a feeling a lot of these "baring swords" were not just for show and parade.
@@tylerrobbins8311 That would be cool and more realistic to get my hands on!
@@aegis062 Firearm disagrees with you. So do arrows before that.... but sure just go ahead and fanboy away.
And no dude, spearmen weren't that fast either.
Also, keep in mind this isn't my fastest. ;)
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 why did you bring firearms into a conversation about swords and spears? the spears aren't the fastest dagger would faster and many other small weapon, but they aren't exactly good for a battlefield.
And it isn't fanboying when history is fking proof. every culture has had spears or a variation of them from javalin to Halberd. effective weapon easy to mass produce and easy to use.
Keep playing with your metal slab crushing plastic buckets that can't move. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@aegis062 Why did you bring spears into a conversation about giant swords?
The fact that it realistically did the CLANG, I laughed for a good full minute.
Meanwhile friggin Asta over there dual wielding swords the size of his entire body
Thing really sounded like the 2016 berserk sound effect
The clang is real.
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 still sounded multitudes better than any episode of that adaptation showcased for us. Great job struggler
Better start maxing that strength and equip load, lads!
Just dont wear armor and avoid getting hit.
@@jacobcain9008hahahahahaha!
Wait are you for real?
Bro should have a shield 😂
@@l33tsamuraiHow the fuck am I going to two-hand my UGS if I have a shield?? I can just i-frame everything
Make sure to be under 25% equip load
The bucket is the biggest land threat and an apex medieval fighter. Consider me convinced.
This is for sure the best "dragon slayer" reproduction I've ever seen. Go on dude, you are tough! 🎉
That's why everyone throughout history used giant swords.
Exactly!!
Then the Titans and Gods came and stole them for their battles!
Everyone throughout history was a starving peasants and you know the .1% of huge warriors carried bigger weapons
@@frozengoat5834even still, nothing comparable to the Dragonslayer was ever used.
You should study more HEMA and historical sword play. You'd be surprised how big some of those swords got. Looking at *you* 7ft Zweihänders 👀👀
@@OldBuggaboo Not really the point of what I'm doing. But I have discussed it with others.
somebody could just do a faint and yould be stuck mid swing and they just stab you mid recovery and that thing will drain your stamina real quick eventually youll be too tired to swing back unless youve got guts levels of stamina but it really is very intimidating still
Alright, just for that I'm adding an extra foot to the blade. Checkmate.
@@DigitallyTwistedOutlaws1178 ye that could work hahaha literal propper footing
The best way to use a giant sword or any weapon with some weight with it. Is to make use of its weight, momentum, and gravity.
It's fantastic to see how alive the Berserk Fandom still is🥰
Found volume 42 by accident😂
That's awesome!
Great, you proved how effective it was on an agile targets with that stationary bucket hit. 😂😂😂
The fact that it sounds exactly like the sword in the 2016 anime just fucking sent me
IAh yes, the age old Dark Souls debate. Dex vs Stregth. Never gets old.
The problem with big heavy weapons is that every move you make is choreographed. I can see how you're going to swing, if you can, and make moves to get around it. It can be intimidating but even someone who can swing it well will still have to wind up for most things.
The dragon slayer
Motivation!
The wyrm slayer seeing how thin it is
the bucker slayer, also impressing
i love that sword, looks awesome.
The dragonslayer blade is impossible to wield though, that’s kind of the whole point. Throughout the manga it’s mentioned how people can’t believe guts can even lift that blade, let alone use it. Guts uses it in impossible ways
If you’re strong enough and can use the momentum of those swings in an effective manner this would probably be like fighting a helicopter propellor
I don’t know if he did it on purpose or if it’s legitimately just the natural or most effective pose to hit when doing that slash downward. But bro just did the pose from the first dragon slayer kill in the first chapter of berserk against that bucket. That’s pretty awesome.
Not planned... but I am going with natural! The Colossus Form I have developed is similar in parts of the movements to what Kentaro Miura drew Guts doing in Berserk. It's the only way to really wield giant swords, by using full body movements.
And on that day, every member of the Buckethead Army fled before the might of the giant sword.
It's probably because people think of it as a thick piece of iron, when really it's a thin sharpened plate
I love that even though we live in a world where we've had handheld one-shot kill weapons around for some time now, we still can't get enough of swords. Largely impractical in this day and age they may be, but a forgotten relic of a time long past they are not.
Peasants: Too slow, it's too heavy to be practical...
Warrior: That's because you're a peasant. Should've chosen a warrior class.
Bro is the type of guy to scream his Nemesis name really loud and kill demons and have a microscopic elf
Guts!!
GRIFFIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!
One can say it's impractical, but if massive nightmarish demons were to invade and there's nowhere to run, I know what weapon I'm grabbing.
From the age of 4 years old Guts trained with swords the size and weight of his own body. So not only did he equivalently grow with his swords and get stronger to handle them, he essentially developed his own style of swordsmanship that other knights just can't handle. He's often counter balancing with his own body weight and able to use momentum to gain even more speed.
Ok, but here's the issue: you get one commited attack. Yeah, it's very difficult for them to block, but the massive end lag is gonna be a serious problem. You might be able to deter them entering your striking range but if you swing and miss, it's gonna be really tricky to stop them coming at you and hacking you to pieces, or just grabbing your giant sword seeing as it's now 40 lbs of steel buried in the ground with a really bad leverarm.
