Barracuda Blade (2012)


Don't expect this to count the slashes you make, in order to provide an equal number of explosions, like the Japanese original. Do expect it to look great on a shelf and provide a different manner of screen-relevant panache. Pressing the larger Shiba clan logo makes the blade light up. It's a very even and well executed effect. It's also reminiscent of the gold-tinged CGI that Genta/Antonio unsurprisingly receives. The Sushi disc is included, but unlike Genta, Antonio doesn't use it to henshin, so it's fine that it doesn't fold. The sole problem is that the release tab is located on the face of the hilt, whereas the Sakanamaru has them on the sides of the sheath, making it more natural to repeatedly draw it, which is conducive to emulating Genta's iaido style of swordsmanship.
