I love samurai swords. They are sleek and deadly, but sometimes I feel how about a sword which is unusually huge.
But, then I look at my size… nah!
The sleek samurai sword is fine for me.
But, there is one man who possesses a huge sword and he is Bankotsu.
The sword Banryu, is also Bankotsu’s companion.
Bankotsu is terrifically huge; it is so big that it takes at least three men to move it around. It has a crescent shaped design on its pommel.
Wind Scar by Inuyasha damaged the sword, which led to some limitations. Me and my friends watch this marvelous anime show, Inuyasha and we witnessed the incident, when the sword was damaged.
You can also catch that episode, as it is available online.
Talking about the mystical Banryu; in the anime series, it was unveiled that if Bankotsu slays one thousand demons and humans and covers the blade of the sword with their blood, it will acquire demonic powers.
A sword without lethal attacks has no place in Inuyasha, and Banryu can unleash a wide variety of attacks on its opponent like Dragon Thunder. This attack can prove to be extremely dangerous, as the sword can rally a thunderstorm and come up with numerous electric bolts, which can kill instantly.
Banryu is capable of releasing Wind Scar type attacks, known as the Dragon Hammer, but this attack is pink in color.
How about burning everything down with one strike?
Pretty cool, huh!
Banryu can do that too, with its Heat Blast attack.
WOW! That’s amazing.
Is it all that Banryu is capable of?
Well, no!
The Hatred Blast, which is considered as the most vicious attack, is something that Banryu releases on its enemy. It combines the hatred in halberd with the 4 Shikon jewels and creates an immensely powerful attack, filled with anger and rage.
I so want this sword man!
Let me check out the super market, maybe they have it in stock!
LOL!

Well, last time we discussed an adorable form of love, the one that cropped up between the endearing couple, Kikyo and InuYasha; which actually impelled us to believe that love is immortal.
Shippo is, without a doubt, the most endearing character on the show, who has undergone an immense transformation since his first appearance.
Shippo, owing to his short height, looks like a seven year old boy. He often rides on the shoulders of the people close to him. Though his actual age is never mentioned in the series, he is assumed to be aged seven as per his appearance. Interestingly, he’s got the ability to create illusionary duplicates of himself, which help him to bamboozle his foes.
