Okay, this isn't an image, but a video, and it's amazing.
Have any of you heard of Man at Arms? He's a blacksmith who has a channel on Youtube. He's created weapons for feature films for over 30 years, and he uses those skills to create fully-functioning replicas from all sorts of media: movies, TV shows, comic books and yes, manga. These range from practical things like Gimli's bearded axe from Lord of the Rings, to the utterly impractical, such as the klingon Bat'leth from Star Trek, to the utterly ridiculous, such as the Diamond Sword from Minecraft, pixellated and everything.
In this case? He's creating a replica of Zangetsu, which is up there with the freaking Buster Sword in terms of practicality. And he wanted it to be fully functioning and wieldable by one person. So without further ado, here's Man at Arms.
