Melonhead Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) So I was playing SSBB with a friend, and he pointed out that Meta Knight's sword looks a lot like Amatsu, Yen'fay's sword in fire emblem awakening. Is this some kind of reference or just a coincidence? They have the same color and the design with the prongs coming out of the side. Sure, the gem in Galaxia and the uneven look on Amatsu are different, but they sure look a lot alike.

Acacia Sgt Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's probably just a coincidence. The design is based on the Seven-Branched Sword. Since Chon'sin has a culture reminiscent to Japan, it fits for Yen'fay to have a sword shaped that way. Not sure why Meta Knight wields a similar sword, but either way, they just share a sword design, nothing more, nothing less, that we know anyway.

Gryz Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I ain't no engineer, but I have a hard time believing the branches on Amatsu help improve its aerodynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I ain't no engineer, but I have a hard time believing the branches on Amatsu help improve its aerodynamics. It uses them to scare the laws of physics into standing back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'd chalk it up to mere conicidence. That reminds me, the Dark Cloud games have a similar weapon called the 7 Branch Sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdok Dracul Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Now I want a Kirby/FE crossover. Kirby is way better than Shin Megami Tensei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Many games have used the Seven Branched Sword's design. FE and Kirby aren't the only ones. Castlevania, Phoenix Wright, Samurai Warriors, Soul Calibur, Demon Sword, Dark Cloud. Along with some others I cannot think of have used this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I ain't no engineer, but I have a hard time believing the branches on Amatsu help improve its aerodynamics. wiki says that the seven-branch sword was intended for ceremonial purposes, so it's just meant to look cool, apparently. if you're using that sword to fight, you're dumb as a sack of rocks. probably why Ylisse defeated an alleged conqueror nation. Yen'fay was not very smart to use Amatsu. but maybe he wanted to lose! Shyamalan plot twist right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomesticHausCat Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Also the ninetails fox boss in Okami uses one IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
