Collecting Berserk Dragon Slayer Sword Replicas

Kentaro Miura created one of the most engaging and dark fantasy series when the public was introduced to Berserk. This anime is about the doomed Guts, also known as The Black Swordsman, a mercenary with a captivating story. Guts is born from a cadaver with a curse of death hanging over his head. From then on his life is filled with brutality, ostracism, and killing. He lives in a very dark world where all the characters come with their own captivating stories.

Guts weapon of choice is The Dragon Slayer, an obscurely huge sword created by Godo, a blacksmith, as requested by the king. The sword was over sized and too large for the king so the blacksmith ran from the kingdom to avoid being killed per the king's orders. The sword fell into Guts' hands during the attack on Godo's village. This disturbing tale is filled with relentlessly brutal scenarios in the mystiquely dark European-styled setting. Along his way he meets characters that bring him inspiration such as Griffith and Caska.

This series ends with Guts fighting to save his beloved Caska from being horrifically raped in front of him. This sight stabs him to his core and he reflects back to his own lack of mercy in the beginning of his journey. This takes him to the level of insanity where his only desire left is one of revenge.

A Review of the Dragon Slayer Sword Replicas

One of The Dragon Slayer Sword replicas advertised online has a fiberglass blade sword with a black sheath. Another version found online is a sword that was advertised to be "all metal" with a leather sheath that would weigh much more. The replica swords found online are truly works of art and will give you a feeling of empowerment to just hold one in your hand. There are numerous online sites selling variations of this sword and the prices make it available to most anime lovers. The prices of these dragon slayer swords vary from around $10 up to over $500. Some of the online photos of these replicas are breathtaking and bring to mind the death, destruction and bloodbaths that the one in Berserk caused.
