you will need at least 100,00gil.
you will need to have yojimbo at overdrive.
pay him all you have and he should use zanmato, a one hit kill for all. yes even monsters with over 1,000,000hp.
it will kill them easily.
though some of you may know this.
so tell me if you have done it and how it went.
IT DOES WORK!!!!!!
It has long been established that Zanmato kills any and all monsters if Yojimbo chooses to perform it. HP shouldn't even be a problem, since Zanmato doesn't even do damage. Before Int. came out, this was the preferred method of killing Nemesis.
100k? Try 1 million gil, International, or not. Overdrive will not affect your chances of getting Zanmato, since Zanmato affects all enemies on screen, regardless of number of enemies, and it is not an Overdrive, it is considered a Special attack, just as Impulse is Bahamut's Special attack, and Mega Flare is an Overdrive.
So I shall test the method without turning on my PS2, giving him 100,000 gil. My success rate? Assuming I have not used Zanmato before, my success rate is 0%. If I have use Zanmato before, it means I have already surpassed 100,000 gil, already paid Yojimbo more than 1 million in funds, and used it to raise my companionship rate with Yojimbo, which means it will be at any number above 10%.
Of course, International is for the very weak minded and those who lack strength of thumb, so I could buy that 100k gil will get you Zanmato...
For those who have not yet gotten Yojimbo, please consider everything you read here a spoiler.
yojimbo's overdrive does increase the chance of him using zanmato, but ur rite in that hp is regardless.
the chance of him using zanmato is also greatly increased if u giv him at least 1/2 of ur funds.
but personally, i NEVER use yojimbo, PERIOD. i play final fantasy games for fun (duh!?) and i see challenging fights as the most fun part of final fantasy games. that's why on my final fantasy X file, i never save the game after having defeated penance (so that i can fight him again), and i challenge nemesis frequently :D
Zanmato is the cheapest and most stupid move in the game, don't use it. It ruins all fun as far as battles goes.
It doesn't affect the rate, it just seems it does because it want it to happen. I'm not sure about doing Double Overdrive, or Grand Summon however, but simply summoning him when he's got a full bar doesn't raise his chances.Quote:

But normally, I don't use Yojimbo either. Only for testing stuff.
I didn't use Yojimbo either, what the hell, so much rules? I did succeed once using Zanmato on Dark Bahamut but I think... it's not fun at all so I reset. As long as you train hard, you can kill every fiends even Penance. I'm training hard now, My Wakka and Tidus already finished the entire sphere grid, I'm going to train Rikku, Lulu and Kimahri since they're the weakest. Dark Aeons is easier than I thought, I just killed Dark Valefor, Dark Ifrit, Dark Ixion x2 and Dark Shiva. Omega Weapon is a joke.
How can you find the free time to do all that.Quote:

Ok, I'm a perfect-win-guy. So I would do anything to get the game completed and I will not do a shortcut or easy way. I want a challenge and Zanmato is a cheating for me.
If you really don't want to train hard, there is Don Tonberry Trick which increase your AP fast, it's because I want a challenge, I only customize Double Overdrive and Overdrive>AP for that.

I'm still a student, I play FFX after I finished up my homework, studies and some work. It's easy, just have Double AP or Triple AP in weapon then fight the monster in Omega Ruins especially Master Tonberry. You can get Triple AP weapon from One-Eye which can be unlocked with:
Floating Eye (4) - Mi'ihen Highroad/Mushroom Rock Road
Buer (4) - Thunder Plains
Evil Eye (4) - Macalania Snowy Way
Ahriman (4) - Mt. Gagazet/Inside Sin
Floating Death (4) - Omega Ruins
Personally, I just catch 10 of them just to make things easier to unlock Nemesis.

chills down, men... I will never use Zanmato...forever, if I ever summoned him, I would pay about 1333 Gil hoping that Daigoro or Zanmato don't succeed, I always keep a good relationship with my Yojimbo, especially when I never let him die even once in battle.Quote:
