cool anime weapon for a protag?

[John_Owl]

So basically the title. I'm looking for a cool anime weapon that a "god" could provide to a champion of his. I want it to be easily recognizable from a specific anime, but still vague enough to not violate any copyrights.

The champion is a warrior that uses sword and shield. Any ideas? And it doens't need to be anime specifically. Any pop-culture sword. LotR, game of thrones (I've never read it, and only watched half of season 1), etc. All ideas are welcome. There's just too many for me to decide between specifically.

So in short, what weapons would YOU geek out about being represented in a webnovel?

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Axe or mace.

 

[Seaspecter]

Dawnbreaker.

give him a weapon he's not entirely familiar with?

Dawnbreaker.

hmm... It'd be interesting. the god places a sphere in his path. champion picks it up and hears "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!!" Then he's like "shit... This AGAIN?!"

Whenever I did sword and board builds I would make sure to grab it and spellbreaker with those two you could pretty much walk through the game.

Thunder from "Thunder in Paradise"

That's why I'd usually go heavy archer. Cant sneak as well in heavy armor, which eliminates the temptations to go sneak sniper. Once I hit 15, i'd head to the morowind area, and find the Bloodskal blade and switch to heavy handed. Presents enough challenge to not get boring, but easy enough to not be a soulsborne simulator.

If you really want to go all out give him the sword of omens.

sword of omens? I recognize that from somewhere but can't place it...

And I do want to clarify, I'm planning to restrict the weapon somewhat. Some things he can't do when creating weapons. Like the Demon slayer blades. He can't get them to change color, so he just has to make them whichever color he wants.

Now I just feel old...

It's from the Thundercats.

Uh, sorry I was a bit confused. You asked, "what weapons would YOU geek out about being represented in a webnovel?" And I thought sword part was just an example.

lol nah, you're good. that was definitely before my time, but my father was into it. For some reason, I was thinking the sword of Aeons, from Fable. Had my pop culture crossed.

lol nah, you're good sailus. I appreciate the input. I meant specific named weapons, not general weapon classes. I should've been more concise in my wording.

Uhh... So specific mace or axe will count? Sorry, I'm not the brightest on the best of days, yet the bast 4 days or so I was getting a few hours of sleep at most. Or only specific swords? Like frostmourne and so on.

He doens't have any specific training, as he's a workaholic, but he's been using sword and shield as it's the "common" view of a warrior. So a specific geek-fest-worthy axe or mace would work. for swords, I was almost thinking glamdring, but I don't think I could describe it well enough to be obvious, but also not risk any copyright issues.

Personally, I would like to see any sword from PoP, prince of persia. For example Eagle sword from warrior within.

That's certainly one possibility. paired with a smaller roman parma might look cool and be fairly effective.

 

[N0xiety]

Rebellion

Rebellion Reboot Version

Or King's Sword from the same PoP series. It is simpler but I think it's very beautiful.

 

[Kigol]

fuck it, give 'em a Big Stick, from bo staff to kali, from three section staff to a random tree branch!

Licorice. A MC beating people up with licorice.

If it needs to have a pwoer then depending on flavor depends on its power.
To be honest I would not be so much geeking about a particular weapon, unless it is a particularly nice picture of one not just a description.
But sometime a nice clean weapon works too:
