[@GeebusCrust]

So, what's crazier: That this design wasn't total BS and actually possible, or that this madlad went and DID IT

[@scarecrowhobo]

Yes

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

Yes

[@Noobnormality]

Wouldn't call it a total bs. First of all it's a fantasy world, and second of all it's made by a mechanical designer. Designing one of these, even if its total bs, is an extremely hard job to do

[@keybae23]

and what makes it crazier is he made it out of cardboard

[@fyreflare9573]

Both

[@knightghaleon]

I was impressed by how clean each individual sword was made, but you went above and beyond and got them to combine to the full movie sword. Absolutely blown away by this man's craftmanship.

[@mariothane8754]

See, this is the kind of play set I would buy for my kids. Imagine the bragging rights for just having this!

[@alexandriaprime4503]

Watching this and suddenly I'm reminded how much of a walking arsenal Cloud became. He's got like, what, 6, 7 swords on him at all times?

[@JebAlert]

One of the (many) best parts of the movie is in the beginning he uses just the middle centerpiece blade and as the situation escalates and he comes to terms with his trauma you slowly watch him get more and more serious with the fusion sword/first tsugiri as he keeps removing more and more of the sub blade from his bike and adding them to the sword until he finally has the full sword assembled for his fight with Sephiroth at the end before disassembling it again and using each piece individually for the Omnislash V5. Such a fun little piece of character building and story telling through prop design while also being completely rule of cool badass.

[@Netherwolf6100]

7. Called the Fusion Sword or First Tsurugi. It was his replacement after he used his Buster Sword as Zack's Tombstone after the events of FF7. Has the ability to combine by channeling his energy into it, making it more compact and stronger, or separate on the fly giving him different strength and speed options.

[@Pestigirioso]

The most impressive part of this craft is how one handle can hold all the weight

[@outamym1nd695]

That's why he reinforced it with those pieces of plexiglass

[@brycebledsoe3870]

The commitment to also make holsters deserves this man a prize

[@robert1589]

Japanese Meth wins

[@DraconaiAuracto]

Especially since even THAT uses the canon design.

[@Vaxsysl]

Watches the video until the end. Nods in big approval. Seems recommended video of him making a bike to store it. WHAT??!!!

[@Firemaster27]

Sephiroth: Note to self, bring water to next encounter with Cloud

[@rosedragon3498]

Or fire

[@TheKamiBunny]

I saw someone make the design in miniature that worked a few years ago and was hoping someone would have the skill and determination to do the same full sized one. The world does not disappoint.

[@vthalucard519]

I've never wanted a cardboard sword ever in my life till now

[@miyabi_puri]

段ボールさんがすごいのはそうなんだが、 ちゃんと現実に可能な武器設計にしてる、スクエニさんもやっぱすげぇ

[@yasuo9769]

We just need metal versions of these and we're truly golden. Love this!

[@dingdong5212]

Wow. I found you about a decade too late. I used to make anything and everything out of cardboard and whatever else I could find. I’m happy to see the fine art of cardboard art won’t be lost!

[@DraconaiAuracto]

I have never clicked on anything (that I didn't specifically search for) quite as quickly as this video claiming to have made a FULLY INTERLOCKING SET OF FUSION SWORDS. Not only did you do exactly as promised, but you even made the construction process interesting. Well done my good sir.

[@vikeicezack]

At Comicon, a battle was about to commence between 6armed cosplayers & another 5 who didn't have any crops/weapons with their costume. Then comes a stranger carrying one colossal sword. He interrupts the struggle and tells them: "I can join you 5 and lend you a sword. If you need help?". The unarmed cosplayers were delighted, but at the same time confused, after one of them said: Thanks for offering your help, but you only got One Sword on your back. DanCreator smirks at them, as he hands the craftable swords after dismantling his Cloud's Fusion sword. Turns out the rivals were dumbstruck and opted in following the Master Cardboard Craftsman.

[@cheddarbub6324]

Thank you KZbin algorithm for recommending this banger of a video! I’ve always wondered how a Fusion Sword would actually work, and you did a fantastic job here!

[@dairoleon2682]

God, can you imagine this thing being made of... well, literally any metal? It'd probably weigh a couple hundred pounds. Also, if it's anything ferrous, you'd need superhuman strength just to dismantle it because the magnets would stick the parts together like flat Lego pieces.

[@kevinpalmer4137]

Maybe it could use electro magnets such as to deactivate them if need be

[@MinatheValkyrie]

I have seen and owned at one time a variation of it that was for cosplay made of metal. It only split into four swords though, and it was rather hefty. Still is a proof of concept that it could be done.

[@yummychips_]

@@MinatheValkyrie I think, iron carbon alluminum alloy in theory could work. That should reduce the weight by a lot, and still retain some strenght, however only when fully assembled. It should still be around 50-80lb sword tho. So it will take some one quite strong to weild, let alone learn how to weild it properly. The individual swords would be much lighter, but due to their lenght wouldn't be very strong. The concept is cool, but just not practical. The sword is just far to big, and even if you made an alternate version at smaller scale, it will still run into weight to power problems.

[@jayglier]

If I recall from another video several years ago, Shadiversity I think, in the lore the only the edge was steel the rest was aluminum, still an 60-80lb sword

[@Cerxen]

@@jayglier I believe there was also a full steel version made by man at arms and it was so heavy the blacksmith threw his back out making it.

[@dombagarut2188]

Its been 18 years since the movie came out.. and finally someone make the perfect replica for this sword..

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

No way it has been 18 years. No way.

[@saltysgene584]

Imagine an Advent Children game with this sword would be insane swapping different sword and playstyle.

[@Jay-mx5ky]

Hoping for this for the next game! Spoiler Maybe Zack gets to keep the buster sword and Cloud switches to the fusion swords as they travel together.

[@scargamer0022]

A advent children game is definitely gonna happen with this sword in it

[@dlazyace9116]

The closest we got in any of the FF is Noctis.

[@Krash2o]

When a full dive MMO comes out and people choose the blacksmith job, this is the video they're going to pull up.

[@Legocatshouse]

Cloud certainly had his priorities straight after the main game. A six in one sword, and self repairing motorbike.

[@Vorylenus]

This should be sold as a kit. Totally worth it

[@ziero1986]

I'd buy it.

[@niknack7420]

name your price

[@BlueFireOfficial]

bro took crafting to a whole new level

[@TheSuperiorRace]

The "main" sword may be made out of light wooden material in order to sustain the weight of the fully formed sword better... But for an ALL-CARDBOARD build, the craftsmanship is definitely god-tier... Nice work...

[@user-tm7ig1iu9l]

磁石やネジ、蝶番も使って可変するのカッコいい。合体、分解するのカッコいい。

[@sigitamiluloh7337]

Imagine coming to a cosplay event with this badass sword, awesome.

[@DarthScrewtape27]

Even though this is cardboard i still bet this is pretty damn heavy!

[@Force-Multiplier]

Never in my wildest dreams would have i ever belived that The First Tsurugi was possible IRL ... incredible

[@thechosenone93]

Every single design of each sword is magnificent...especially the fourth one in the thumbnail

[@yucky2782]

原作のデザインがシンプルだから段ボールでもここまでかっこよく見えるのすげぇ いや、見せれる段ボール技術もすごい。

[@user-nm4no5gh9c]

部屋に飾りたくなるクオリティ。素晴らしい

[@randomperson10101]

This was super cool. The most impressive thing to me is how the handle didn't break when it was all put together.

[@omargoodman2999]

They said the design was implausible, but I guess now you can say... Myth _Busted_

[@yudisuryoyuantono175]

Even when its fully combined, the carboard sword handle is still able to withstand the full weight, great craftsmanship, welldone mr

[@JP_...__.__.._]

This is the coolest video I've seen in months, amazing work man

[@932ForeverLove]

OK I wanna know the story of HOW Cloud built his sword! I mean something like that requires a lot of thought, a lot of precision, and he had to know a really good engineer to help him put that together. (maybe Cid helped him out?) Not to mention, it’s the multi piece weapon where, once fully assembled, it has the same shape as the buster sword. That was NOT an accident on Cloud’s part

[@arbetor12]

It wasn't. Cloud made the fusion sword so that it would replicate the buster sword to remember zack. But also so that he could fight in areas where the buster sword would struggle. Hence the smaller blades. As for designing it. I don't think cid helped. It would be more likely that cloud knew a swordsmith or used some abandoned Shinra tech to make it.

[@932ForeverLove]

@@arbetor12 Thanks for the response!

[@sparking023]

The design of this sword is just so awesome. Not only is it ridiculously big, you also get a much higher sword per sword ratio. Final Fantasy at it's finest

[@NFiniteCombos]

The most accurate Buster Sword to date and it's made of cardboard

[@-kingofsaiyannappa-9057]

It's a different sword called fusion sword from advent children movie...Cloud stopped using the Buster sword and put it at the place where Zack died~~~~kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKilaGuMbKmme68

[@draconisbaronsnowfox]

This finally made that thing's mechanics make sense. Still a super weird weapon, but it's FF. Should appreciate my next watch of Advent Children a bit more now.

[@xelumbra]

That is so damn cool. Anyone else hoping that we can get the fusion sword in the remake maybe as Clouds ultimate weapon in part 3?

[@alexstach8667]

They said that they are going to include all of the FF7 Compilation in the Remakes. I really hope this includes Advent Children. They could at least include the AC costumes and Weapons.

[@Bigman0909]

I have no idea why KZbin recommends us all stuff like this for no reason, but they should keep doing it.

[@hornet89alpha]

Watched final fantasy 7 a decade ago, and I never thought someone would bring this idea to real life.

[@shinigamishado3530]

Dang, Awesome work! I wish this video was around a few years ago, I made one out of cardboard for a college project, but it wasn't nearly as beautiful as this one!

[@tasteslikesalt4672]

dude is literally a master blacksmith with cardboard

[@user-lb2xc9er2w]

実際に映像から作るのも凄いけど、合体までできるように作り込んだゲームの製作陣もかなり凄い。

[@user-jw7ek7ui3o]

だからこそ現実でも細かく作れたもんなこの人は…いや本当に凄いよデザインを設計した人。

[@azurelionheart]

Holy mackerel, I can't IMAGINE how tricky it was trying to ensure all of these individual layers would stay solid even when laid together in the fused form. Truly amazing!!

[@Dark_Prince089]

That is totally badass. Just needs to be painted. This guy has major talent.

[@Phantomyre]

How the hell do you even figure out how the swords are fabricated.... that's skill on another level.

[@marmaje6953]

„Its hard to keep your cool when you see twin blades turn into *a bow* .” Or in this case 6 swords into 1 GIANT sword

[@groove2056]

これちゃんと現実で再現可能な構造なんだｗ

[@user-xe4uj5hg9n]

最近Xで海外でクラウドのバスターソードしかり色んなゲームの大剣を刀で再現して振り回してた画像はあったよ。その内、こういった合体剣の複雑な剣技やFFのできそうもない剣技、デビルメイクライのような理解しがたい武器も海外のガチ勢なら再現しそうだね。

[@user-dk9ul4di2w]

それな

[@CORO.283]

2:44

[@user-gv6nn2fp6l]

材質が再現出来ないのが残念😢

[@tensora45678]

そもACの時にちゃんと考えられてCG起こししてんだよなぁ、クラウドの合体剣。 ACのバレットの銃装備もちゃんと変形出来るんだぜ。 強度？実用性？ナニソレ知らん

[@OneWingAngel-pl8to]

Great job on this I love the way you made cloud's sword

[@EmeraldPhaze]

Overall awesome video. I also just have to say, I greatly appreciate all the fine details put into the video itself, particularly all the fun little sound effects as you were putting everything together.

[@Nowe-lz7mt]

凄過ぎる。こういう素敵な動画が溢れて欲しい。

[@user-nj4zd5jc5e]

それはダンボールというには、 あまりにもカッコよかった 大きく、分厚く、軽く、そして緻密だった それはまさに少年の夢だった

[@user-qv4ko6ep6u]

コスプレした銀さんが思い浮かんだぞwww

[@jaylonchachere2424]

I fell in love of the process of the making of this sword.

[@sakurasfish2115]

I always wondered how Cloud and other characters could handle such massive swords while being so skinny. Now I know they were painted cardboard all along

[@oioidositaoioioi]

職人のきめ細かい技術ほんと尊敬する

[@zokilauda]

this is the coolest thing I've ever seen made four quarters out of cardboard.

[@GreenDinoRanger]

This is the coolest thing I've seen all year. Phenomenal work!!

[@fernandoleonardoortegamill7398]

This guy blowed my head up with his amazing creation

OMG! You should sell the templates so we can reproduce it by 3D printers or handmade at home! For sure I would buy it!

[@athenadixon2110]

DAMN This is clean! I've never seen someone who worked with cardboard so neatly. Very cool!

[@Wazzup365]

Now, that is some incredible craftsmanship!

[@AngelNatavi]

Oh man, I've seen some really creative things on KZbin, but this? This was incredibly clean work. Well done.

[@chardey]

I'm totally amazed, the design actually works and the swords look like in the movie! Also, what a work! What a guy! Great!

[@user-eu5ok3xf4y]

職人芸だぁ……鍔部分を蝶番使って可変にしてるの凄すぎる

[@toanuva6178]

I’m really envious of people who have a super steady hand

[@Jinroh333]

That is madskill, i wouldnt think metal hinge use on a cardboard. Great job sir

[@hiamnyrodriguez163]

You are chilling in the city an out of nowhere a blonde guy runs your fade with 6 swords at the same time

[@R.R.R.712]

This man went limit break with his creativity and insane functional design!

[@user-fn7rm9ix2s]

So cool, can't believe you made something from animation mechanically viable. Epic

[@huntersniff4543]

Flawless craftsmanship :)

[@PowerPandaMods]

I love how the magnets slot in like materia.

[@localcrow]

Thats insane! the fact that they all combine is just fantastic.

[@galit5912]

This is such a brilliant build! I’m in awe

[@Fushiho.]

何これ…クオリティが神すぎる😂

[@technoeevee6969]

dude this needs WAY more views, this is utterly spectacular

[@skyelily8601]

Love how this sword is basically Square be like: "heard you like swords so we made a sword made of swords to make a bigger sword."

[@xyspherion]

And we could call it a megasword 🤣

[@RowanSkie]

Square Enix's mindset based on BTS was that "he had a big sword, now let's give him many swords"

[@thesonofashepherd6910]

I see a business opportunity in this.

[@kenwrenapilado651]

I’m amazed that you created the fusion swords! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@silenthashassin8912]

That sword has 7 materia slots. Pretty strong if you ask me.

[@Vinlaell]

wow i didnt know that design was actually functional thought it was only for a movie but they realy do transform and fit together right! incredible work

[@gakungaku]

普通に欲しい❗️クオリティが凄すぎる❤

[@gharlandfourmillion6731]

Amazing work ! That's really impressive !

[@vallahdsacretor4839]

That sword is just putting more sword in your sword. I love it

[@riotangel4701]

The swordest sword to ever sword.

[@mattstanford9673]

Yo dawg, I heard you like swords with your swords.

[@blacky8987]

One of the best swords of the final fantasy games

[@krismastowibisono8244]

putting 2 long swords that look like katana together and detachable looks cool

[@DeathsPit00]

I've been waiting for this video for literal years now. I knew that eventually somebody was going to pull this off and pave the way for the rest of us. You sir, are a saint and a scholar and I salute you.

[@IffyJottere]

Moe: "And that's how, with a few minor adjustments, you can turn a regular sword into 6 swords!"

[@marcotobias4567]

this guy is living all of our childhood dream

[@febriekotampubolon4180]

Japanese is the master in this skill. Respect man. Great art

[@o__r__e__o5579]

Beautifully done. Looks great!

[@sk-tr7ki]

すごくてすごいと思った

[@koujiohta1509]

😂

[@nazonogameplayer]

ダンボールとは思えない完成度、そしてギミック、やっぱり天才だ…

[@trustindean5164]

I wonder if one could theoretically recreate this using foam or even metal. It'd weigh 3x as much, but it would be such a cool display piece

[@user-wm5xp1ts5o]

最高の匠であり最高の変態！ 拍手喝采👏✨️✨👏

[@PatheticMortal]

Imagine how heavy it is, if this was forged in steel or any metal possible. 😶

[@lowkeyarki7091]

Considering the thickness? It's safe to assume no human could easily lift it, let alone any magnets strong enough to keep it together. If you want it as a prop, hollow carbon fiber would be the way to go

[@TodouIota]

Very cool! Wish there was a longer detailed version of the video to see the steps even better!

[@randalthor2859]

This is hands down the COOLEST cardboard will ever be. And cardboard has been Chuck Norris.

[@Ankhtheanimator]

This is pure awesome craftsmanship at its finest
