Well if you've seen the ending of this movie you would know that at the very end there is a technique that Cloud does as where he stabs his 7 swords into the ground then he jumps in the air and turns yellow and does several slashes to Sephiroth. Well a friend and I call it Omnillusion because there is tones of illusions of Cloud and reminds us of Omnislash. So what do you think and would you call it that?
The official name for it is "Omnislash Version Five", and I just call it that. Although, I don't think the need for me to actually call it something has ever come up. Well, at least I'm prepared if it does.
Version five? Where're the other three? I called it Neomnislash (neo+omnislash) once.
There are only SIX swords contained in the whole of the First Tsurugi's sword compilation. One is the big ass main blade that can turn wider for battle mode and close for combining, a simple one that fits in the bottom of the main blade, two saw-like blades to fit in both sides of the upper part of the main blade, above the simple blade, and two foldable-handle blades to fit in on either side of the combined saw blades and simple blade, as if to strengthen the hold on the massive weight of the whole combined sword. Here's the pic, it clearly shows SIX swords.

And on topic, yeah, it's called "Omnislash version five". Apparently there are already four previous versions of Omnislash, the first is in-game, some from KH/KHII, and the most recent on AC.
That must be a bitch to put all those swords together.
"Are we ready to fight?"
"No, Cloud's still trying to connect part C to part D of his sword."
i wouldn't call it an omnillussion because the all of the clouds that hit sephiroth are quite real. not to be a smartass by saying that of course.
its more like just super speed and grabbing the swords while they hover on magic and leaving behind golden magical trails.
neo-omnislash seems about right.
Its hard to describe how the move is done because of how quickly it happens, so omnillussion is a good desription and so are most of the others.
Actually, the five versions they refer to are the five versions of the move they were toying with during the making of the movie.Quote:

My only question is "are there different strengths to all of his blades?" Why the hell does he need to keep switching between swords? Is he afraid he's gonna break one?Quote:

It explains how the whole sword(s) work, how they go together, what types, ect. He needs all those swords simply because some will work better in certain situations and it gives many back-up weapons, that can be pulled out at any time their needed.
The name Omnislash V5 is not a confirmed name, in-universe. It might not have a name in-universe. Or, Cloud might HAVE Omnislashes 2-4 in-universe as well. No one has said that he doesn't. I was mentioning the out of universe reasoning, as stated by the people making the game. Nothing more.Quote:

And I was nonetheless stating that their reasoning was still stupid if that's all that they could come up with as a name and as an explanation. Basically, if I were in an interview with them, I'd scream "Throw us a bone here!"Quote:

No, I think Zack went Sper Saiyan and started calling himself Cloud.Quote:

Maybe they did it just to make it more visually appealing mon.Quote:

Like I said before, some swords are just better suited for certain things. The switchblades are easy to get swords that provide the wielder with another weapon quickly. However, it is small, where the impact blade would be more useful as it is longer. The two serrated blades are used if damage is what you really want, or if you need to disarm your enemy. Every piece of the whole assembled sword is made to be better in certain situations. With each piece that is connected, the sword becomes better. When the sword is complete, the weapon is at it's maximum best, if you will, and is more powerful than any minisword individually. And like you said, this entire aspect of the sword itself gives the wielder the advantadge of surprise, as no one would expect such a thing, and it provides many sword to be used when needed.Quote:

BUT ... WHY ... DOES HE ... SWITCH ... BETWEEN ... ALL ... SIX ... FREAKIN' SWORDS ... DURING ... THE V5????
HE'S ... ATTACKING ... THE SAME ... DAMNED ENEMY REPEATEDLY ... THERE IS NO CHANGE IN SITUATION. THERE IS NO NEED TO SWITCH HIS DAMN WEAPONS. SO WHY ... DOES HE ... DO IT?
It's just OmniSlash V5 don't look for 2,3,4... those must have been prototypesQuote:

The sword is naught but one giant, badass, Swiss Army Knife.
That pic in Twilight Edge's first post (that shows the swords)... is that Korean?
Yup, it is.Quote:

Well, he does it to do absolute damageQuote:

Whatever, I have to put this away now. I will stop caring as of riiiiiight . . . now!!
