Dragon Slayer Sword Anatomy - How Big Is It? How Heavy Is It? How Guts Learned To Hold The Sword?

[@jamesbaggett7223]

For japanese berserk fan like me, it still amazes me how foreign fans talk about berserk so fervently.(I really appreciate it) Regarding the dragonslayer, I once read the article in which author Miura said "I wanted to make readers believe that strong man like professional wrestler could lift dragonslayer". So, he may not think that is a practical weapon that human can use. And although this is just my guess, Miura might take a inspiration of the dragonslayer from Gundam's beam saber. There're so many types of gundam exists, but one of them wields long, large beam saber.😁 And that gundam was animated and on-aired right before berserk started.

[@ScytheXqt]

Is Berserk not as popular in Japan as it is in foreign places ?

[@ArthurChapon-f5v]

people overlook the fact that the manga hints very early on as to Guts either not being totally human or being blessed by elves, or both. Also 130 for the dragonslayer seems like a very generous estimate, I think anything around 200 is closer to what it looks like.

[@decimation9780]

185-190 kilograms. Sword weighs roughly 400 pounds, thereabouts, which only makes the fact that Guts can wield it so proficiently that much more terrifying.

[@faceless1646]

i saw a guy made the sword in narrow and wide version and its between 100kg for narrow and 150kg for wide version... i mean its not that hard calculating the weight if you have all 3 sizes

[@Karma-cj1wu]

I agree, it weighs as much as guts body weight, an article said. 300-400lbs needs to be thicker which the at sometime doesnt look like it at all.

[@Karma-cj1wu]

Remember that one time isidro, a skinny kid almost barely lift it up.

[@Aenarion_Godslayer]

@@Karma-cj1wu If 400 lbs is 181 kg, the sword is more than 2 meters long, Isidro tried to lift it from the pommel as I reckon. He had leverage, and was using his very whole, it's doable, thanks to leverage. Edit : it also helps that the weight is not focused on a "small" part, but all along for that leverage to be effective.

[@fdevaa]

if you ever wondered how the dragonslayer looks like IRL, there's literally one, very much real dragonslayer in existence. Made from billet steel, iirc it weighs around 300 lbs

[@unknowncommenter6698]

No way, it sure doesn't weighs like that. Average sword is never above 2 kilos (300lbs is 136 kilos), some super long swords are 3 kilos. I bet it's not 300 lbs, but maybe a 60lbs? Edit. Nevermind I forgot that it's even bigger than I thought.

[@Fool408]

May you inform me what sword is 3 kilos? The heaviest sword I can think of is a Nodachi at 6 lbs, but that's it. And, no, Zweihanders are only ~4lbs.

[@Braian9887]

​@@unknowncommenter6698 no no, you re wrong, some chad guy create the dragon slayer, heavy and big how in berserker

[@Braian9887]

to 2 above, didn't you first think that swords are not limited to traditional weight? Although I don't know if you could call that a sword, it's more like a large piece of iron.

[@Fool408]

@@Braian9887 I was just asking about any swords that are actually 6.6+ LBS. And yes, I'm aware that the main factors are weight, weight distribution, and length. But, weight is the most reliable factor

[@etiennemorin3411]

I do not remember the name of the channel, but there is a guy that made a build of the dragon slayer out of a slab of iron that he cut with a torch and milled. If I am not mistaken, before working on it the slab was around 600 to 700 pounds so roughly 250 to 300 kg. After the milling, the final version of the blade only, without handle and half moon "guard" was close to 400 pounds, so more or less 160kg . Also during the whole process, the only way to move the blade was with a seated lift. Even adjusting the position for the mill was nearly impossible without it. If I find the videos again I'll let you know.

[@etiennemorin3411]

Just found it, type in the search bar: Dragon Slayer build and there will be a playlist of 11 videos. My thumbnail for the list was the image of the rough shape of the blade with the mention: 516 pound blade

My first experience watching an oversized sword in media would have been Soul Blade on the Playstation. Sigfried's a beast if you start getting a feel for his strikes. Shortly after seeing that however, it felt like they were everywhere. It took roughly another seven or eight years to actually learn the prime mover of the heavy blade in media.

[@whiteeye9584]

the reason why why guts lost to holy knights is becasue he was tired after fight rosine

[@thenobody7509]

I can only think of 2 upgrades for dragon slayer. The first would be an Enchantment that would allow guts to control the weight of dragon slayer and the other would be an Enchantment that allows dragon slayer to repair itself by absorbing the iron out of the blood of its enemies

[@permeus2nd]

So I think the smile on his face when he's saying about how he built the Sword and all that is because he knew exactly what he was doing by making a sword that no one could lift, its a case of ""yeah I build you a sword that can kill a dragon but you're too weak to lift it, it's not my fault you suck!

Dragon Slayer Weight should be between 300-350 kilograms; due to known measures (1.9 mts length & 45 cms width, lets say its depth is around 10 cms) and a 7.874 grms/cm^3 density (iron density) There are 85.5K cm^3 (in a perfect rectangular prism) times the density of iron, there are supposedly 637K grams or 637 kgs. Now we subtract 50% of this result since the swords edges are angled (less volume = less weight), and considering the tip is not rectangular, we're left with a weight of around 318 kgs but give or take since the 50% of weight we substracted is an educated guess.

[@defiance8973]

Fantastic deduction professor Rodrigo! Only, you're off by 337lbs since it weighs 324lbs. Putting it into perspective. Guts would need to be strong enough to swing my friend by the ankle with one arm.

If the sword did get an upgrade it would end up being something like the power of the bathlet (that egg face thing) infusing into the sword. Its got the power of chaos or triggers fate. So it feels like it would be the type of magic strong enough to counter Griffith

[@Halak014]

7:07 How could the Dragon slayer be made of ore from Godot's mine when Godot lived at town and flees to said mine to avoid getting punished by the king? Like if he just wanted to make a lump of iron sword why get special ore from far away... sounds strange is all.

[@silent_stalker3687]

Simple: ‘hey i need ore here and please don’t try to claim the bounty’ Which he also had dragons watching for him apparently Also prices. Some places sell stuff a lot cheaper and heck, waiting a while for a joke and a message is worth the wait

[@Adamant1993]

If you practice your whole life with a sword bigger than you are, your muscles adapt. It likely feels awkward for gutz to wield anything smaller because he's been using a full size longsword by the age of 5.

[@unknowncommenter6698]

I hope it's mentioned in the video but I remember seeing some guy who unironically was training himself (and others, apparently) to wield a sword like that. So I guess it's possible even if you weren't trained to do it since you were a kid, but the latter helps

[@wraithking8933]

im pretty sure dragonslayer is bigger than Zabuza's kubikiribocho which is 250 centimeters in length with a weight of 30 kilograms according to the Rin no Sho, page 261 @marvelousanimeofficial do you think kubikiribocho would fit as a design in berserk or is 8 feet of steel two big of a broadsword in berserk without an armor like the berserker armor

[@JakitSol]

How deep does the Dragonslayer cut? Yes.

[@walkialyon8507]

in my head cannon, the reason why Guts can use dragonslayer is 3 reasons. 1.The dude is the pinacle of training, both mentally and physically and to a degree spiritually. He has the will to use the weapon, he knows how to use a weapon beyond his size, and he is absolutely BEEFED and genetically gifted to be able to use said weapon. 2.Because of how he was born, there is a part of me that thinks that he isnt entirely human, or at least he is not entirely of the Berserk world pre Astral plain tomfoolery. Whatever latent power he has is probably, if not already fully realized, gradually showing itself as he continues his Genocide on Demonkind. This goes hand in hand with the 3rd point 3.Guts is borderline insaing, I dont mean like schizo or dissociative or socially anxious or sexually questioning thought the Demon chick makes it questionable.I mean mind numbingly, mouth frothingly, HAIL TO THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE level psychotic. The only thing keeping him from going over the edge and, I believe sadly the reason why Casca freaks out when she sees him, is his mind numbing Obsession with Griffith. Never underestimate the power of a human being who is properly PO'd, especially when they damn near have nothing else to live for. At this point, its really a debate of which "upgrade" would be better, the Butchers Nails or the full embrace of the Beast Withen.

[@ArthurChapon-f5v]

Guts is 100% hinted to either not be completely human or blessed by elves. Both Puck and Flora can tell whatever the skull night was before his death, Guts is too.

[@decimation9780]

To be fair, being one of only two survivors of the Eclipse that Griffith caused may have also caused physical changes to Guts… besides the two obvious ones. Because before the Eclipse, we don’t see Guts pull off even half the shit he can do after the Eclipse.

[@matthiasrauert8397]

I mean u basically said it urself but i don't think the DS needs or should get an upgrade. It is part of Guts and represents what a mortal can or can not achieve. For a long time now the manga has shown us that Guts has reached his limit of things he can achieve by fighting. In fact since he got it that was the entire concept of the Berserk Armor with him being more and more injured everytime he uses it. There is simply no way for a human to defeat a god by physical force, ofc i'm not talking about the see "god" but the literal gods aka the God Hand.

[@caravaneerkhed]

I’m watching this cause I want one

[@faceless1646]

if they drill a couple holes in the middle of the sword it would be way lighter, still as durable and a lot faster therefore... a little bit of sharpening and the sword would have its massiv size, still a lot of weight (up to -25% for the holes) but even more incredible speed and still simple enaugh because its just some holes to lose a bit of weight
