Souji's Stuff

Name: The First Tsurugi
Type of Weapon: 6 Part Buster Sword
Appearance:The First Tsurugi is comprised of Six blades.

Main Blade

The main blade resembles an exaggerated two-handed sword in its shape and appearance. It consists of a long hilt wrapped in a red material, a distinctively large handguard which the other swords are locked into, a wide length of blade, and an equally long but thinner length ending in a point. The main blade is the only sword among the six that is double-sided.

The main blade, by itself and as other swords are attached, is Souji's Main Weapon, although he uses the other blades sans main blade as well.

Hollow Blade

The hollow blade does not have an inner core as expected for a sword. Rather, it is essentially (though not exactly) a thick sheet of metal folded in a V-shape when looked from above, the edge of the sword being the bottom point of the "V", with its lower one-third of its length wrapping around a red double-hilt. The hollow blade is locked onto the main blade's front edge, where it snugly covers the entire edge of the main blade, and its own edge serves as the striking point for the assembled sword. It is this addition that turns the completed construct from a symmetric shape to the distinctive Buster Sword appearance.

Back Blades

The back blades are identical long swords, mirror images of each other, with one straight edge and one saw-toothed edge, with a long black hilt for each. The two swords are attached to the main blade's back, on both sides of the main blade's back edge, with the saw-teeth pointed forward toward the hollow blade. The addition of these two swords completes the fusion swords' trapezoidal silhouette.


Side Blades

The side blades are identical, mirror image dagger-like swords, though they are still quite long. They are single-edged, with a gear-like mechanism between the hilt and the blade that allows them to fold up like a switchblade. It is in this folded form that the two side blades are locked onto the two sides of the assembled sword, with their edges turned forward toward the main blade at the sword's front. In addition, one of the two blades can be quickly ejected from the assembly if needed, providing Cloud with a needed off-hand weapon.

As part of the assembled fusion sword, the side blades do not appear to have any vital function like the rest of the swords, possibly only adding extra mass, and therefore force, to strikes, and providing a decorative appearance. The side blades may also possess some sort of locking mechanism designed to hold the other blades in place, or be meant to cover the hilts of the other blades to the same effect. It is also entirely possible the blades are merely for convenience so as to provide an efficient secondary weapon without compromising the assembled construct's strength.

Picture Example:

Spoiler:

Element: N/A

Ability: The blades that make up the First Tsurugi have nothing special about them, but when completely put together, the First Tsurugi can withstand much damage from any weapon without so much as a scratch, as with the parts being by themselves, they can break rather easily.

Weakness: The blade is pretty heavy so the wielder has to be pretty strong to use it. Also, if one blade gets damaged, the entire set up is messed up (ie. the fused blade cannot be made) The blades by themselves are nothing more than regular blades, and can get damaged or broken fairly easily.

Drawbacks: If one blade gets damaged, the entire set up is messed up (ie. the fused blade cannot be made)

Materials: Chakra Enhanced Metal
