    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.
    . . . if someone had come and told me . . . that they would leave my life whole, it would have left me cold: several hours or several years of waiting is all the same when you have lost the illusion of being eternal.

    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.

    Awesome picture, though, it really clears things up. I didn't realise that there were two repeated designs - I thought he had six totally different blades that interlocked, but now I see how it actually goes.

    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.

    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.

    id imagine the way the swords connect is just to do with some good mechanics and has nothing to with materia or spirit energy and magic. how cloud actually holds them is another question. id imagine even one of those swords would be pretty heavy but all six would weigh tons. i think that sword might be possible to actually create. thatd be a good one for sword collectors. 6 in one mega sword only *insert price here.*. half price if you can acutally carry it! heheh. ive got to put that on the advert children thread. thats clears up a few things. thanks.

    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.

    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.

    yeah ive noticed the small energy burst when they merge so that probly has something to do with it. i bet its a combinaiton of magic and mechanics.
