    darksteel, is the paint on the sword starting to chip or is that just bad lighting or something? If its the former, then I probably wont get it since I fear something similiar will happen and I dont want to waste 40 bucks on it if the sword looses its most unique feature.
    Dude, that's not even the right sword. It looks like a standard katana with some add-ons to resemble Tensa Zangetsu. Here's a more faithful reproduction, if not quite useable or realistic:

    it is the right sword, just a cheaper version, its also only 37 inches, the other one is 68 inches,

    oh and on my blade it isnt paint >_> its a black powder coating, it doesnt come off, what seen on that pic is a damaged version, since the edge is the only part that isnt coated.

    Animeniax: DS is right, theyre both the same sword. One is just longer than the other. Waaaaay to long if you ask me. I think they should have made a 40-some-odd-inch sword as I believe that would be much more accurate.

    darkshadow: Yeah, my apologizes for that, I was looking at something else when I was writing that and didnt bother to scroll up to double check the name.

    But black powder you say? They say for the tensa bankai that its a "black finish". I wonder if that covers the entire blade.

    it prolly does, in most cases black finish means a powder coating.

    They're not the same sword. They both look like Ichigo's bankai Tensa Zangetsu, but the first one is a cheap pseudo-version stock katana. The second is a much more faithful representation of the sword. Might as well state a '67 Camaro is the same as a '68 Camaro, not that I care for either car, but you get my point.

    @vegita613: It is way too long, but it's an art piece, and not meant to be wielded or used in battle, kind of like FF gun-swords or Link's sword from Zelda.

    I didnt say its the same sword, i said its the right sword, and they ARE from the same manufacturer, the shorter one is just more practical.
