Katanas Are Just Better: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Tsubaki has a katana as one of her several forms; Mifune had [[Field of Blades|many katanas]]; Ragnarok has recently been shown in a katana form, a departure from his usual shape as a decidedly Western sword design.

** Becomes a subversion when you remember [[Infinity+1 Sword|Excalibur]] surpasses all of them.

** Cypha averts the "just better" part of the trope, however. She's actually a rather sub-par swordswoman (at least in comparison to [[Badass|Signum]]) while her divider is in its katana form, and Signum rather soundly kicks her ass in the first half of the fight. Then Cypha turns her katana into a pair of [[BFS]]s [[Game Breaker|which make her immune to magic]], [[The Worf Effect|and down goes the Blazing General]].

* Averted in ''[[Demonbane]]''. Bring all the katanas you want, you're still getting fought to a tie by an [[Good Old Fisticuffs|unarmed]] [[Battle Butler|butler]].
