The Sword's called Tsurugi?
Yes. The First Tsurugi, or First Sword. It's pretty sweet.
That's brilliant. I hadn't really questioned the swords till now, but that's damned good.
old news
That's quite an interesting picture. Aren't all those swords in the picture different weapons that Cloud used during the game?
I think they're all unique. Some are vaguely similar - the 'battle mode' version of the original sword is slightly similar to Apocalypse - but I don't believe they're his in-game swords.Quote:

I'd like to know what locks the swords together, though I'm guessing materia is involved somehow, since the swords are enveloped with spirit energy whenever he connects them.
This is interesting, I always wondered how they merge togather.
I don't think spirit energy has anything to do with this though.The handguard is actually hollow where Cloud connects them(as in one side is connected to the handle while the other is hollow for Cloud to merge his swords),so it's technically possible to do it even in real life IMO.Quote:

But whenever he connects them together, there's a brief flash of energy - just like whenever he uses a Limit Break.
Sure they connect through mechanical means, but I'm guessing that some materia-like system locks the blades together, giving them a more solid connection - this would explain why they never rattle or come loose, even when he's whacking them against solid targets with great force. It'd also explain how he can separate them seemingly at will, without much force at all - as he does during the final fight, when he's perched on the Shinra HQ wall, and during the new Omnislash.
Lol. Battle Mode for a sword.
That is sweet. Where did you find it?
Has its uses, I guess - the blade becomes broader (a mixed blessing in an actual fight) and it exposes the indented 'teeth' where the other blades attach. The narrower, non-battle version is easier to store and could also be an effective weapon.Quote:
