Master Sword

Masamune (Sephiroth)

---

Dante's Rebellion

---

Lionheart

The Master Sword and Buster Sword duct-taped together
---

Buster Sword
---

I first thought "Cloud".

Then "Buster Sword". So "Buster Sword."

(In some parts of the UK "weapon" is a slang word for idiot, fool, etc. If we use that definition you could call Cloud a "weapon". But I'll stick with Buster Sword.)

BFG 9000

The US is proof that idiots are weapons.

We call them tools

The Service Weapon

squall's gunblade

if it was actually called a gunblade in it i'd give it a chance

Master Sword

Masamune (Sephiroth)

---

First thought of RCP-90.

I have no idea why, but it was a fun weapon.

---

Ultima Weapon (Cloud)

---

Master Sword

Cloud's sword.

But now that I think about it the Master Sword would win.

---

The Blades of Chaos

I mean the answer is the Master Sword, but hey

---

Caladbolg

---

pikachu vs master sword who ya got

---

Keyblade

Greatsword of Artorias

...Would probably get like 10% on the Master Sword.

---

I thought of the RYNO, which is more of a personal fave. Not happening, obviously.

---

Brotherhood

---

Energy Sword (Halo)

Though my vote goes to Blades of Chaos

---

Buster Sword

---

Buster Sword

Probably the Master Sword though yeah

---

I might take the Buster Sword in an upset if it came to it tbh

---

Master Sword vs Buster Sword in the finals

I think Frog's Masamune would place very high though and would be my personal choice

---

Erde Kaiser from Xenosaga always comes to mind. Will literally one shot every enemy except the final boss, and even that is extremely weakened by it.

---

does crono's sword have a name

Bold of you to doubt the LAW...!

Assuming Pikachu would even be allowed in a weapon contest in the first place is a stretch, but we'll ignore that.
