Drawing & Sheathing Sephiroth's Katana

- Have you ever seen such a long katana in real life before?
A typical Nodachi (Odachi) is around 3 shaku (90cm/35in) long, but this is 5 shaku (150cm/59in). In the past when they used these gigantic swords on the battlefield, the samurai will always have a subordinate to pull the sheath for him.
However, during the peaceful Edo period (1603-1868), drawing and sheathing such a long katana by a single person became popular as a performance.
Since it’s acrobatic, there are some secrets to trick the audience. When drawing, he is actually holding the blade for a second, but because of the small Tsuba handguard, he can naturally slide his hand to the handle. When he sheath he holds the blade too, but because he rotates it’s hard to see. But even with that in mind, it’s not an easy thing to do.

Would this be considered "zanbato?"
@@lysanderhuynh out of Curiosity, Shogo San, are you familiar with the Muso Shinden Ryuha of Iaido? It's the style I study and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it
@@EarCat I believe Iaido is just performance based for 'kenjitsu.' It is the theory of effectively dispatching your opponents quickly and scored. I still believe that there is the art of drawing the sword for defensive and offensive purposes. The fastest and efficient way of drawing a weapon is the victor. Did that answer your question?
@@lysanderhuynh oh my apologies I didn't mean to tag you. Sorry about that I should have double checked
Is this a Daikatana,or is a Daikatana different?

Having an assistant help unsheathe your ungodly katana on the battlefield is such an awesome flex.

@@gangrenousgandalf2102 since katana pretty much means "one eadged sword" he wasnt wrong stop being pretentious
@@gangrenousgandalf2102 I learned a thing! (Despite it being in the vid) Thanks!
They're the equivalent of squires in feudal Japan
Sword Saint status
Suddenly Sephiroth's sword doesn't seem so silly anymore. Jury's still out on Cloud's buster sword though.
It's too heavy for a normal person to wield, that shows Cloud's sheer strength. This also applies to Berserk's Guts and Fire emblem's Ike
Shadiversity’s making and testing a comically large sword and its seeming pretty plausible (as long as the wielder is strong enough to effectively use it, same as a greatsword)
The Japanese government has clones of Seki Sensei in their military bunkers
Feels sad it was never remembered as Angeal's buster sword.
Sephiroth's sword is approximatly 6 to 8 feet long. A european Zweihänder could get to around 7 feet.
The length of that sword is plausible.
“My katana is bigger than yours!” “Bigger isn’t better!”
Gets stabbed from across the room
@@N38Productions yeah, reach is kinda a huge factor in sword fighting

Oh my god, the notification cut the sentence at "shut up n..." And i started packing.

This is the most impressive thing I've seen in a very long time!
Maybe impressive looking but Musashi Miyamoto killed the young "Swallow" with a whittled down boat oar. The Swallow an up and coming dynamic unbeaten champion. Musashi touted the greatest Samurai that ever lived.
I can actually unsheathe this Katana in one go by the handle because of how big I am.
Especially the fact that he has still all his fingers...
because it's japanese? lol yeah I already know
@@robertnett9793 Kopp oooooooopopoopoopooopoopoooooooppooooopop
And just like that, my DM owes me an apology and 10 bucks
LMAO
Yes sir, some katana CAN count as great swords!
haha get em
You can have the giant katana, but you have to roll acrobatics every time you want to draw or sheathe it lol
@@WtninjaA good DM lol
I've never played sekiro but these graphics are really good!!!
They best have a great katana class in the next Souls game.
I mean, they essentially had that class in Dark Souls 2 SOFS, Dark Souls 3, and Elden Ring, with the Washing Pole, the Nagakiba, and the Hand of Malenia
@@EarCat Those are essentially just big katana, not "great katana". I want something like the cleaver curved sword, except in katana form.
@@wargames2195 I'm not sure that would happen, but if we look at it closely, I would actually consider the Murakumo from Dark Souls 3 to be the closest thing there. That being said I'd love to see more representation of Japanese weaponry, like the Yumi (bow) the Kanabo, the Jyumonji Yari, the Nagamaki, the Manrikigusari, the Kusarigama, and possibly Ryukyuan weapons like the Tinbe Rochin
@@EarCat I don't see why not, with more japanese weapons too.
@@wargames2195 I agree, I was just giving examples of what I'd like to see
He just finesses it out of the sheathe, that's incredible
The budo art taught by this guy is finesse and in a way very counter intuitive to how most martial arts handle weapons.
If I saw this man sheathe and unsheathe that blade I would give up immediately
Retreat is not cowardly
Some mfs just want to live
"THATS NOT A TALWAR ITS AN ODACHI!"
"Whats the difference?"
I like to think of myself as a teacher
Schoola gladiatoria reference? 😁
@@brentstephens4081guess again 😅

Kensei: “imma just leave it unsheathed if that’s ok…”
I can see how it can be seen as a performance, the motion of the man unsheathe and sheath the Odachi was mesmerizing.
He literally says how this is not an odachi which are usually 3 chaku long wtf 🤦♂️🤡
@@Leothelion357 “A typical Odachi is 3 shaku long, but this is 5 shaku long” is what he said.
@@Leothelion357 comprehension issue + L
@@HertaSeggs yea it made me cry 😢🤣🤣
Sasaki Kojiro would be proud of that sword
Musashi Miyamoto: Hold my paddle
Someone tell Aerith to watch out

動画配信をありがとうございました。
the older dude is literally dancing and you cannot change my mind on that.
He's actually having a seizure. There, mind changed.
Instructions unclear, I have now lost 5 of my fingers.
The guy she tells you not to worry about.
There's always the other option of just swinging the sword with the sheeth on unsecured so that it flies off and strikes the enemy as they approach
The samurai equivalent of ending him rightly

This dude maxed out his katana skills and this massive blade was the prize
I thought he bungled drawing a normal katana until the blade just kept growing, and he was holding it perfectly
This is indeed an impressive blade. The English had a training blade as long but much heavier. I believe there were many benefits training with such a heavy weapon I believe.
yes, i trained first with a heavy wood sword for a couple of years (longsword, bastardsword), after this, the real steel sword was much lighter to handle
Apprentices of Tennenrishinryu (one of samurai's martial arts schools) train with a very big and heavy wood katana like a log. So they can use a katana like a twig.
Not only that but most sword styles swing towards the ground and if you miss you just need to recover but blades like this are so big that if you miss you need to avoid striking the ground as to not risk blade damage or it getting stuck so your style changes greatly and requires much more control and awareness
@@dearstew5457 you wouldnt strike with a weapon this long tho. This would be a slasher with a range more like that of a polearm
I’m going to be honest. I could sit around all day seeing that and not get bored.
I love traditions related to a warrior culture. Please post more
But if your like our buddy sephi from FFVII you don’t need no sheath boi.
This is incorrect. Sephiroth had a sheath for his katana. He name is Aeris...
@@GameKingMike play a game called Rivals of Aether, which has custom characters in the steam workshop and my main is Aerith, I didn't know what game she was from, I assumed she was from Final Fantasy since one of the skins was Sephiroth. I went to look it up and let's say I got... spoiled... 😔
@@GameKingMike I like that man 🗿👌
@@GameKingMike 🤣
@@GameKingMike 😆 slide in smoothly
Imagine being the guy commissioned to sharpen that sword...
This man is Sephiroth's mentor in my head now and nothing you tell me can change that
Immediately my mind started playing sephiroth's theme from final fantasy lol
absolutely Sephiroth's Katana...
😱❤️
Bro pulled out the nagakiba
Nodachis have to be some of my favorite weapons in history
When you're so out numbered you need to dismember 5 enemies with every swing.
You know if you havent explained how the sword was pulled out. I would think that he was making a sword trick. It was amazing
Literal boss music as soon as that sword left its sheath.
That old guy is scary good with his movements. They are so fluid it's almost staggering to watch. He has been at this a long time.
Sephiroth's Masamune (correct me if I'm wrong) is the most beautiful katana ever!
As an Odachi main in Nioh 2, this does put a smile on my face
Same here
Sephiroth would be pleased.
This comment is what I come for 😂 well done sir
That guys two handed draw was ridiculously smooth I didn't even realize the size till he had it ready
Bro's trying to morph into an typical elden ring boss🪡👺💀
The Nodachi wasn't a dueling weapon, its main purpose was to take down horses.
WOW! That thing is HUGE!
This is actually so cool his movements are so smooth you barely notice the hand shift 😁.
Dude Seki Sensei is a true modest badass! The versatility, knowledge and experience would make him pretty nasty to have to deal with but he seems so nice and personable.
I did notice he was holding the blade both times but was caught off guard by the katana size
The moment the old man pulled out the katana one winged angel started playing in my mind
Wow he is slick with the transitions in stance, the way he moves is so impressive
The unsheathing was so quick. I missed it the first time.
Genuinely thought that was like a cavalry tool, the naginata and nodachi were like the mounted pieces a samurai would be sporting because being on horseback meant you needed reach weapons to make fighting make sense
Oh my word !
I don't know which I like the most ? Seki Sensei skills or his glowing smile.
Greatest respect 🙏
He's actually pushing the sheath out with some force than pull the sheath back again while pulling the blade out, great finesse and feel. Love it, much wow
Drawing this back then was the equivalent of flexing on your enemy. A silent way to say "You don't want the smoke"
Also I've seen the Sun Move to open the long sword . Well a rise and shine way
As a kensei main yes i have seen this sword many times
Bro is a entire Final fantasy boss battle
Never let anyone tell you that War isn't a Stage and that Soldiers are not Actors. Because that was quite the dance with that blade.
Great content, the Sensei seems like a really cool guy, if not rather dangerous with a weapon. Keep it up.👌
Good to know we have actual long swords from monster hunter irl
1 swing and this dude gonna cut 3 generations
Dawg the most intimidating thing I could imagine is some guy pulling up with a big sword and his buddy helps him unsheathe it.
At this point, just run away.
Don't care about Bushido. I aint gonna become a living Tatami matt 💀
That sword is fuckin Sick. Almost a real life Sephiroth Masamune.
I would lose both of my hands if I ever attempt this
It was easy as hell to see he was holding the blade
his movement is so smooth!! gaaaahh its too cool!!!
Also helps to put that momentum forward when you're checking the blade out of the sheath
Like a squire for a knight! How awesome would it be to have a show about these two people having to learn to get used to eachother then at the end of the show they learn how to synchronize and fight alongside eachother!
Intelligent use of mentioning Sephiroth in the title. Though I've already watched the main video, the title of the short got me watching this short again.
As we see the glimmer of the Masamune, we all chant: *S E P H I R O T H !*
I always did wonder how they drew those swords it's very impressive seeing that each sword had its own unique style as well as what seemed to be a dance when in combat.
Love your channel, very educational about Japanese life
The Nagakiba’s str and dex requirement suddenly makes a lot of sense.
That sword is INSANE
he is sephiroth's mentor and no one can tell me otherwise
The way he transition blade to handle it's just... wow! So mesmerizing
The musamune is fabled to be 7 feet long. As impressive as it is.
Sephiroth stomps
I never cared for long swords like I care for this. It looks so graceful
Bro is a boss fight and a half 🤣🤣🤣
Sepiroth: My sword is long!
Average Nodachi User: B* Pls, hold my beer
Seems like the possibility of losing a toe is greater as well
What a honor to see a master
When Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior first released, everyone playing as a Samurai was using the Ōdachi
First hostile NPC in dark souls 3 be like.
Have u ever seen a katana such this long?
Elden Ring: yes
That draw is SMOOTH AF
So, this is how Sasaki Kojiro using the 90cm Katana
My favorite style of katana
2 guys arguing whether a longsword is better than katana and this guy was like "why not both?"
It's pretty obvious that he grabs the blade you can also tell by how close his hand is to the blade
Still impressive
I am a pretty tall guy, so I always figured that I would need a slightly above average length katana. But that monster of a weapon is way longer than I would ever need.
Ngl, even without the title, Sephiroth and FF was the first thing that I thought of 😆
Sasaki Kojiro used this sword to fight with Musashi. One of Sasaki's martial art of this sword name: 燕返し[Tsubame-gaeshi].
So clean i didn’t see that. Like a magician
huh, I think it looks so good because he holds the blade quite some times, I love that
Man looks genuinely happy holding that long boi
This dude can probably awaken something in your arc
