The entire point of the AoT swords are that they work in unison with the maneuvering gear to basically turn you into a high speed razor blade.
i mean there is a point to be made in that if the maneuver gear swords were scimitar based itd make for easier edge alignment but also the razor blade segments probably wouldnt be a thing and youd have to keep your knicked and chipped scimitar blades for longer to make the amount last
or in levi's case a beyblade with razors attached
That doesn’t mean they will work in real life.
@@humanoidshrek5524 Yeah, because there is no ODM Gear in real life.
@@hamIindigo idk what that is but you probably prove a point
This dude learned one thing about a Katana’s curved blade and made it his entire personality.
e x a c t l y omg this man can't say anything outside of edge alignment
@@out_of_the_BOX yeah and edge alignment doesn’t make sense because you’ll be holding it not letting it fall into your opponent
@@zachblase1 and it isn’t a problem for a trained swordsman regardless if it did make it better.
Or you're an aot fan
Or he’s just talking about an interest? People hate for no reason
Reminder that auto edge alignment only works when dropping the sword, not in battle
Now i can replicate my dreams of dropping a katana and hoping it strikes someone
Also in a very specific setup. In which european longswords also "automatically align"
Yep, it only self aligns for when the force driving it is gravity. When you swing it, it's not gravity. So the center of gravity being on the edge won't help. Also the curve of the katana is very slight and makes minimal difference in the slicing motion as well. As least according to everyone who tested it and compared it to straight blades and to more significantly curved blades.
no i think it helps to get an easier cut in general, if it was able to cut cardboard just by falling imagine how stronger that effect could be when you actually swing it with force
@@stella-yd4gy It's not stronger because the sword is swung from the handle in the orientation that you're holding it in, while when you drop it, gravity pulls on every part of the sword accordingly and the sword is free to turn based on which part gravity is pulling harder on. This effect just doesn't happen when you swing it.
The longsword: Guess Im useless now, the weeb has spoken.
Fr, katanas don't fix skill issues. You can't get perfect cuts like the weeks say without the same amount of practice with any other sword
@_ocks_4792and honestly, it’s all about perspective. By kill count, the best blade in history is the roman gladius
They are both better for different things
That's not what he's trying to say. He's explaining how the Attack on titan swords sucks in real life. Not all swords!
If you slice upward does the auto edge alignment help?you ain't dropping sword this guy skip school definitely
You forgot to mention that the AoT blade is used like a box cutter , it wasn’t built to slice open a wound with it’s middle blade but to cut open a flesh with the tip of the blade , like how box cutters are used . Mainly because their main purpose are to cut chunks of flesh away , instead of cutting straight through clean , although there are instances where Mikasa literally slices Porco’s leg clean and I don’t know about that , probably had to do with the fact that she’s an Ackermann and she’s stronger than 20 adult man combined (remember when she carried like 10 steel beams by herself , during the train track building scene)
I know right!
This makes sense, seeing as straighter blades are traditionally used more for hacking, rather than slicing- another reason the weight of the blade helps. It’s like a cleaver, although most cleavers admittedly have a small curve
That's true.
I'd feel very unsafe flying around with a proper sword lol. Mikasa and Levi get pass just because they're Ackermans, nobody else can cut like they can
Ye also the way its designed is so if it breaks it will just snap into another blade until shortend then u just restock with the spare in odm gear
“This sword is worse because it has different applications”
"It's better bcs the blade is curved"
Imagine when they find out about history and the effective use of straight blades in fights.
@@Raikos100 when they find out most swords were for thrusting and not slicing:😮
@@buythegamesagain exact opposite. arabian, Persian, indian, filopino even vikings favoured cutting swords. (though they all had thrusting and hybrid swords as well.) pure cutters like sabers or Shamshirs are a lot more common in history than pure thrusters like rapiers and gladius
@@holywaterbottle3175 try to slice chainmail, then try thrusting into it. Sure, if you want to name weaponry from before armor was invented, you’ll have slicing as flesh is soft and gives quite easily. Against armor, slicing is far less effective which is why most weapons produced in areas where Armor was available were for thrusting and blunt force.
@@buythegamesagain correct.
But chain mail is a mostly European, mostly dark ages, mostly battlefield related item. That's narrowing it down something extreme.
If there is anything different historical cultures agree on it is that swords are not very good on battlefields.
If you are facing heavy armor having only a sword you have made some bad decisions along the way.
Even the European manuals describe how if you face a Knight with your longsword you are better of wrestling him and pulling your dagger.
For clarification, I think thrusting is better. I just don't think it was more common in history when it comes to swords. However the spear is the all time king of battlefields
I think Skallagrim already debunked that whole autocorrect thing with curved blades
i gave ur comment its 100th like.
So did many other people tbh, I really don't know why he's saying that
AoT sword can be stored efficiently in the boxes beside their hips, they’re intended to break so they have to carry multiple. They also wouldn’t work if they were curved; consider the process of taking down a titan: you have to approach at an angle to prevent yourself from crashing into it (you have to have speed behind your slice or it won’t cut deep enough and you also wouldn’t want to sit on the back of a titan, so you have to do this). To cut deep enough at an angle you need a straight blade instead of a curved one, a curved blade would clear the nape (unless it was ridiculously long, which is logistically infeasible for transport and use) without killing the titan. A straight blade works perfectly in this case because the user is supposed to use their body mid flight to curve the path the swords take as they go through the nape, allowing them to exit the cut fluidly while also cutting as deep as possible with the swords length.
Dude made "curved swords = better" into his whole personality.
Don’t tell him about the fact that the medival straight sword is better than the katana.
I hold this notion too, with the only exception being the katana
I know lol he is like a curved blade fan girl lmao

@@Wolphoenix if a sword can cut them a slug or buckshot could get through their skin because they are going alot faster and have less they need to get to compared to a sword slice. Or am I missing something since I haven't watched the show.
the centre of gravity in a katnaa is absolutely fantastic
if you're just going to drop a sword on your opponent
a Straight sword doesn't rely on gravity because usually your the one that's swinging the blade into the guys face

Is he calling 3 pounds heavy? 💀
This guy makes anime swords for a living what do you expect
3 pounds is the average weight for a katana
@@twiton_ and that’s not heavy
Have you ever actually wielded a sword? Because, for reference, one handed weapons used in HEMA combat weigh around 1 kg (rapiers usually weigh more since their guard is basically a small shield) and i can assure you, wielding them for a while could be actually exhausting. On the other hands, longswords used in this same sport weigh from 1,5 to 2 kg (a bit more than 3 pounds) and that's already enough to have to use both hands to wield them effectively.
@@curkinho 3lbs isn't really that bad; to my knowledge, weapons are considered to be 2 handed once they reach ~5lbs. While longswords aren't that heavy, they're made to be able to be used with one _or_ two hands. They're a versatile weapon and their weight reflects that
The blades are replaceable, that's the main reasons why their straight. It allows for easier storage
And their basically razer blades
It also improves the performance when thrusting/stabbing, which is pretty common practice in the anime
I thought they used the aot blade rather than a sword is because of its durability not lasting after hitting a titans parts due to the high temperature
@@coleheath6519 gotta put rgb on it
Fun aot facts for "da bois" the special resources and metal the ppl of the walls have access allow them to have a blade stronger than steel yet way lighter
I'll never forget a guy shattering a katana in half by striking a longsword.
I really don't know why people call katanas much better than any other weapon in history.
Does it have range? Not really
Can it thrust? No
Can it strike? Also no
Can it deal with any amount of hard protection? Yeah, good try...
Is the blade durable or can be repaired? Of course not, that's why in Japan they were carrying multiple weapons and bows were much more preferred weapons...
I'm a sword dude myself but if I have pick most universal weapon to deal with anything. It would be spear, this beast have to many advantages to look past
@@sirith9157 i have to disagree with everything you just said but the spear, the spear are good. Katana is super durable compare to the straight sword due to curve, but it is not easy to repair or make one and only used as a secondary as it is not meant to be a main weapon

Automatic edge alignment is a myth. When you're wielding the blade, you have to be just as deliberate with your edge alignment as any blade. The little gravity test doesn't change that, especially since you don't always cut down.

I like em more cause I ain't gonna be sword fighting anyone, and they're pretty nice to use if you ain't fighting.
Clearly he's never seen how a regular long sword does better than a Katana
Exactly what I was thinking. What he just pointed out were minor disadvantages that hardly have an effect on combat. Generally, when analyzing weapons, you not only have to look for the strengths and weaknesses, but also gauge how much of an impact they would have in practicality.
And the fact that those things are meant to be REPLACEABLE. Like literally the reason they carry clunky boxes in their gear containing the blades for it, specially if you are fighting giant glorified zombies with Regen powers and very thick skin that they literally have to use anti tank rifles and cannons, thunder spears and lucky muzzle loading cannon shots only works for those
Well yea, the longsword is a generalist sword that does a decent job at stabing and slashing, having better reach and a big guard. Katanas are made just for slashing and are better at it but the moat important aspect is the steel type. Longswords are made from a far superior steel (mainly because they were made during different times and technologies differed a lot too). But if you just compare sword types ignoring the materials, i would go with what makes me feel more comfortable for me to wield.
@@charmzee8749 depending on the longsword the steel quality was indeed better this is due to that europa has more pure iron then in japan. you are indeed very correct about the process is different due to technologie difference but it wasn't like europe didn't know the method the japanese used to make an katana as in the middle east they made sword that is pretty simialure as the katana. If I had to choose an sword I would likely go with an long sword as how much more verstaile it is.
I mean .. thinking about how european AoT is, it is more natural for them to use straight steel molten blades. (Or similar high carbon iron).
Katana are build for slashing into soft things.
European swords are build to cut and not bend when they hit into steel-armor or another blade.
I thought the whole thing about the AOT blade was its durability and ability to be easily replaced. I don't think you need automatic edge alignment when your blade snaps or bends the second it hits its target.
The AoT sword is used when paired with the ODM gear, allowing it to cut the flesh in the nape of titans while retaining movement in the air.
If katanas were used anywhere in history against longswords, claymores, or any double handed blade of the time from a different culture, the Japanese would have tales of their enemies possessing steel forged by gods because they would literally shatter a katana. As much as you weebs want to think katanas are the best swords, they 100% aren’t even close.
You can't compare them normally, since katanas aren't weapons designed to fight, their only use was to deliver a strong slash before your oponent
@@SamElZombie not really, they where used for emergency and cqc, they where the last resort. There is no epic one slice kill thing with it, it's just there for defense
@@nicolaebartlcel1331 just like regular sword (idk if you knew but swords weren't used too much in most of the world since lances were generally better), the only difference is that japanese armour was made of bamboo, wich is obviously less resistant to cuts than iron, and thus their weapons were aimed to direct cuts and not blunt strenght
Yes European swords were better but I will say the Japanese made a decent sword for the materials they had to work with.
@@nicolaebartlcel1331 yep they were the side pistoles of their Era. The Bow was the main weapon.
Everyone gangsta till they know spears were a samurai's main weapon and katanas were an object to show one's social status and of course to drive evil spirits away
Edit: so i learnt that bow and spear were both main weapons of a samurai, but i also learned that samurais never really fought in wars lol, the people who fought were foot soldiers from commoner class called ashigaru if i remember correctly so if I'm wrong please explain
Also thank you for the 3k likes this is the most liked comment i ever had
I thought bows were their main weapon iirc
@@anriasi6333 on horseback yes
@@anriasi6333 they had a cool design for their horseback bows. the area where they notched the arrow wasnt centered like it would be in a modern compound bow. the top of the bow above the arrow was a little longer and the bottom was shorter, i think it was somewhere in the ball park of 3/5 to 2/5 difference but i could be mistaken. The main reason for that was for when they rode their horses the bottom part wouldnt be getting struck against the horse or their leg when they were drawing it, so they could maintain accuracy at higher speeds.
No one ran in was just a sword like a goober lol, not just samurai. Swords were a side arm for those who could afford them, with the exception of the zweihander which was used to break pike formations.
Katanas were mostly used as a last resort irl
Odm gear gas helps with the cuts, they dont use brutal strenght, the only soldier who uses his strenght is Mike.
The blade is SPECIFICALLY designed for cutting through the soft flesh of the titan’s neck (hence why it looks like a giant boxcutter). You grapple up to the titan’s neck, slice their throat, and then they bleed out.
It’s a monster slaying weapon, not a dueling weapon.
*their necks and they dont die from bleeding out they die from the destruction of their weak spot bro did you even watch this show 😭
@@ackthegreat6697
No actually, but my point still stands. The way the blades are structured serve their purpose. Yeah, they would be a terrible pic in an actual sword duel, but when dealing with gigantic monsters whose weak spots are in their necks, it’s the ideal weapon.
The blades from AOT are specifically designed to cut the nape of the titans. So they often use the end of the blade not the middle. It resembles a razor blade bcz in case the blade gets stuck, it would break and the user can keep his/her momentum to escape the titans without getting stuck along with the sword.
@@allinkamaya Maybe those swords were as any normal metal and as light as papercutter
Thats why they have broken mid battle many times in AOT
@@allinkamaya knowing the cost of working producing along with the price of strong and lightweight metals i don't think the blades being ment to be disposable is a good thing, since a singular one could cost stupid amounts of money if it were made out of something like magnesium, and i have no clue about how good of an idea it would be to use an aluminum alloy, i know aluminium can be made onto a really striong thing with the right comination of othe metals. It would make more sense to just use really thin blades of a cheap but well woked metal so that it's still capable of being effective while not being an economical nightmare, to cause damage you don't need good materials, just a good edge. (sorry for the huge rant but i really wanted to talk about it)

1. The “automatic edge alignment” thing is a common misunderstanding. It only happens when you drop the blade, while gripping and swinging it you absolutely need to be able to align the edge yourself. Just watch a tameshigiri competition and you’ll see how much skill matters.
2. The blades in attack on titan are meant to be mass-producible and disposable. They don’t have access to large quantities of high-quality steel, so they make cheap box cutter blades that are sharp enough to do the job once.

Pretty sure he's comparing straight and curved in regards to the single edgeness of the two. Also one is a weapon from a show.
Don't think anyone is arguing that long swords were bad
@@sethmccuckins No, but its definitely misinformation. The curve in the sword doesn't really help with edge alignment. I don't know what that cardboard test is even doing.
What it does do is change the surface area the blade has while cutting. Meaning you will get a better cut with a curved sword than you would with a straight blade. Its not that sword is lining up perfectly, but rather you have a higher margin for error.
Just another way to think about it. Understand that when you are holding the sword, blade isn't in free fall. You are holding and if your position is off the blade won't change position to offset. If it did it would be bad blade since you can't control it.
@@MrGameadd1ct no you are wrong on one thing, the curve of the sword does help in edge alignment, which is important to have a good cut. Try cutting a coconut off a table without rolling it off, the alignment of the blade can be knocked off if it’s hit with an equal but opposite force. If you don’t follow the cut at the edge your sword will face more resistance and even deflection.
@@MrGameadd1ct To be fair, the test shows them dropping the blade at an angle, so it helps with edge alignment on downward cuts. Other cuts? Not so much.
@@drewpowell409 I'm sorry I don't see what you are saying or understand your argument at all. You seem to be trying to use Newtons 3rd law of motion, but with swords, but thats true for all objects.
Any sword will deflect if your edge alignment is bad, it doesn't matter if its curved or straight. Its a matter of skill. Though where curved swords excel is the that while they are cutting they make better contact with the material. ONLY IF YOUR EDGE ALIGNMENT IS ALREADY GOOD. The sword will not magically fall into place and auto adjust. Curved swords just cut better on worse cuts.

Manual Edge-Alignment for life.
Edit: I am beginning to think MiniKatana is biased against non-katana swords.
fun fact the edge alignment is a complete myth
I'm like 90% sure the AOT makers had carpet cutters in mind when they designed those swords. And I'm also almost certain they went that direction to emphasize how sharp they are.
I've only watched a bit of AOT and I honestly love the swords from a design perspective.
I think its design was used to show its a simple blade to be easily mass produced, be sharp, and easily replaceable since it has quick releases. A lot like box cutters.
If its heavy, I don't think it'll matter much since they probably wouldn't be swinging it with their arms, but rather with the momentum from their movement gear. And it being a heavy blade would probably be helpful because they're fighting titans and it'd help slice through with weight rather than pure sharpness. Kinda like a claymore?
The idea behind the Quick release and the Breakaway blade is to make sure that in the event the blade gets stuck in the titan either with a failed cut, or one that makes the titan fall, they can break away the blade and escape.
"Why not just drop the sword tho and use a better quality blade where this is less likely to happen?"

@@SunkenOcean but the proper way they say to slice is to do it at an angle so doesnt this counteract it

He legit dropped the AoT sword at an angle
@@eslin2845 That was the point?
@@ripinkhanna6075 that is a horrible point dude. The point is edge alignment,which if the blade is angled like that of course it won't align. Do the same thing with a katana at an angle and it's still happen. All i got from this is "katana superior,straight sword bad" which is not true.
@@SVD63Ninja The katana is more prone to aligning its edge as compared to a straight sword. Personally, I find that both have their own pros and cons.

Automatic alignment has been disproven because the curve isn't deep enough to give a better cutting surface area.
Ah yes, the legendary combat tactic of *Dropping the Sword*
It’s a real phenomenon, edge alignment on Katanas is proven to be better, although it isn’t the only factor that matters and they’re putting way too much weight on that alone
@@TheAvidian Agreed. Definitely just doing that demonstration to sell more katanas
@@TheAvidian while that's true, it doesn't really help when you drop the katana with the cutting edge facing the cardboard and the straight blade horizontally so that it does nothing.
@@Phrygid they were both dropped at an angle, though in general the edge alignment of a blade has more to do with its balance than it’s geometry (though curving does help towards an edge alignment), you can make straight edged blades balanced for an edge alignment and you can make poorly balanced curved blades that have terrible edge alignment. clearly this prop fictional blade was not balanced for cutting
This comment should have more likes😂🤣🤣🤣👍
No one is going to talk about how he dropped the katana aligned and the sword sideways?
yep, that's what weebs do. When they run testes they even blunt the European sword on purpose just to showcase katana cutting a bit deeper.
That’s what I noticed too
That’s what it looked like, but he was talking about the center of gravity, they were dropped the same way
It wasn't I thought that too watch it in slow speed it's the same
as a katana fan i was disappointed by that as well
Katana's are efficient but my personal favorite is the Egyptian broadsword it has some of the similar things like a katana has but when you swing it it just has the force of an axe!
1: that doesn’t do anything in a sword fight
2: just because it looks cool doesn’t mean it’s practical
3: skill issue
I still can't get over how u dropped the ATO sword side ways.
Even if he had dropped it with the blade facing directly downwards it would still have rotated out of edge alignment
He dropped both sideways
@@ShadowRealm_. nah he didnt
@@RealMiniLink still he could've done a retake

"tell me you have no idea about swords, nor AOT without telling me directly:"

@@joejonas3584 yes, and he gave no actual good reasoning when you consider that different sword styles have different purposes, and that despite this the things he named are LITERALLY not an inherent problem for straight blades, many of which can operate better than katanas.
@@carlosbecerril3317 ohhh, I get it
Yeah gotta lot fans or wannabe fans who don't look into the pseduoscience and technology of the series.
@@Sick.of_usernames that one was ok, it was to show the edge alignment factor. Unless he held the katana straight and I missed it?
Ok but in AOT you don't attack downwards but sideways,and you're slicing a part of the nape,not "the nape" so you need TWO swords,and it's easier and faster to mass-produce straight blades
The blade is meant for high velocity precision strikes to the neck, not necessarily close combat.
The 3DMG sword is specifically designed to be light and easily replaceable (that's why they look like cutter blades) since blades often get stuck on titan flesh plus if the blades get dull a replacement is easily available on the go.
IT'S NOT MEANT FOR A PERSON VS PERSON COMBAT!

Maybe cause ODM gear is meant for slicing through incredibly thick skin. They are just razor blades designed to glide through the air and eventually cut through skin while the Katana is meant for close combat and is lighter
Fun fact, a straight blade actually has better “auto” edge alignment than a curved one. Of course that doesn’t matter because edge alignment depends more on the user than the blade

“Yeah make it straight”

@@AZunon I'm stealing that line from you
Something interesting that I haven’t seen brought up YET. The AOT swords are practically giant box knives, which are made to stab first, then cut. The reason it is sectioned is to keep the tip of the blade as sharp as possible so stabbing is possible.
You forgot one major point: The AOT sword is meant specifically for killing Titans. You want a heavy, but very sharp blade for that, and yes, it will wear out faster, but thats why they carry several.
"blade alignment" *immediately drops the titan killer sideways* "see no cut"

Auto Edge alignment is a moot point when it's in your hand any way.
Yeah it's a really dumb point, it falling down straight isn't going to align someone's cuts
automatic edge alignment? bro just shut up, you just heard this from a reddit post. a katana wont magically correct your alignment if you hold the sword wrong or attack incorrectly
I imagine the segments would make the actual blade more likely to break at those segment points.
Tell you didn’t watch AOT without telling me you didn’t watch it. The series literally goes into great detail on why their specifically designed the way they are. High smooth cutting with quick disposability
Weeb
@Riccardo they were designed to cut the napes of 14m tall naked people with incredibly thick skin...of course it's not for the real world!
Yeah well I don't plan on defending myself by dropping my weapon.
Same here
Yeah its useless, who would actually think the auto alignment is useful?
Your hand isnt some weak rubber that needs some support, youre literally holding it youre the one aligning it.
In anime they use straight blade because it is cheaper to produce+ they are consumables. They don't have time to polish blade so they discard old blade and use new one every time
