It’s hard to imagine a more recognizable sword from Naruto than this one. He played an important role in drawing up the image of a young Uchiha who escaped from Konoha. Used in almost every battle. Loved by the fans and by the author of the original manga.
What does it look like
The legendary blade, which has the properties of lightning, is the sword of the ninja-apostate Sasuke. Created in the image of Chekuto Orochimaru, it does not have its properties, but is shown to be quite destructive and durable. The name of the sword Sasuke tells us the apostate ninja after the betrayal of his mentor - the blade of Kusanagi (from the Japanese Kusanagi but Tsurugi - a sword mowing grass).
The mythical sword, which is often found in the myths of ancient Japan as one of the three symbols of the power of the emperors of Japan, was taken as the basis. In the manga, Sasuke's sword has black scabbard and a black hilt, but in the anime it is made in dark blue tones.
Power of the sword
Incredibly sharp, able to amplify due to the owner’s lightning chakra, conducting electrical vibrations can cut even the Eight-Tails. Repeatedly strengthens chidori, which makes it extremely dangerous for opponents - it is almost impossible to block. He inflicted heavy damage on Deidara and Danzo. Sasuke with the Kusanagi blade and newfound techniques was able to fight the Kage five for a long time, could withstand the eight-pointed Killer Bee style, easily cutting off one of Gyuki's tentacles.
In addition to physical properties, it has the ability to seal. With his help, Sasuke sealed one of the three Great Sanins - his teacher Orochimaru, who had the same blade, but much stronger.
Role in anime
Along with Sasuke's long-awaited appearance at the start of Naruto Shipuden, he shows off Kusanagi's blade, pinning him to the throat of a former teammate. The sword complements the new image of the last of the Uchiha clan - the perfect combination of clothing, a cruel look and a merciless blade that will do anything for revenge for its family. In the battle with Deidara, he almost killed the latter, but he nevertheless killed himself.
Value for fans
Millions of fans of the anime and manga "Naruto" dream of a copy of this sword. Along with the released collectible figures, bandages, cosplay clothes and many others related to the shinobi world, especially fanatical people order on the Internet, they themselves make copies of this legendary not only by the standards of the anime, but also by the standards of the entire world community. There is practically no such event where there would be no Naruto cosplay, and where they are there will definitely be cosplay on Sasuke, in extreme cases with a Kusanagi blade made of foil.
Sasuke's sword is of great importance to all fans. This is one of the strongest blades, with the advent of which it is difficult to imagine the blade and the owner separately.
