I tried to re watch Buffy last year. I couldnt make it through the second season. The fight scenes are so fucking bad.
Buffy looks like HK Action Cinema compared to even older fight scenes like the infamous one from Classic TOS Star Trek with Kirk vs Gorn Captain.

What's weird is that Gundam for the longest time was a standard height in the original UC canon.

Then they went super tall as the standard height around ZZ / Char's Counter Attack era.

Then they really shrunk the average Height during V / F-91.

There's never been a Gundam series where they have Gundams of different size, height, & mass as a regular occurance.

I was going to say, even half the weight is like a full order or magnitude heavier than the heaviest sword humanely possible to wield.
Yep, that's why I needed to clarify the difference between "Fiction" & "Reality".

There was a IRL "Buster Sword" from FF7 made, it did what it was supposed to do.

It was RIDONKULOUS in all the right ways.

The damn thing is bullet resistant to anything but the highest of calibers.

It's also not something Normal/Peak humans could wield.

Titanium iirc is about half the weight of iron or steel.

While still heavy, it might at least be usable in the hands of a very strong person.

I assume one would spin it into a melee during battle.
Yeah, you're not spinning it like Link with his twirl attack.

The IRL Buster Sword made out of AR500 Steel, that is used in Steel Target practice at Shooting ranges, weighed in @ 123 lb when the maker finished building it.

Even if you got the generous multiplier on weight (which IRL won't happen due to being an alloy and needing to mix with other elements), that's still 61.5 lbs of Clouds Classic / Iconic Buster Sword.

That's STILL WAY TOO HEAVY.

These are the historical mass / weights of IRL large weapons in Human History:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/3/AAAFvAAAC9GZ.png

Smaller Weapons were obviously lighter than what I'm listing.

Go back and watch the videos I linked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da5l6Etwn2A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k5SauImw9I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU4MKhvAygg

Robert Oberst is LITERALLY placed as one of the TOP 10 "World's Strongest Man" competitors and he couldn't lift the Buster Sword by the handle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Oberst

He doesn't even need to qualify anymore because his records as a Strong-man speak for himself.

Robert Oberst can:
Log Lift 465 lb (211 kg)
Deadlift - 750 lb (340 kg) for 4 reps - Done at America's Strongest Man 2013

It took 2 men (One being the Top 10 "World's Strongest Man" competitor, the other is above average fitness) to properly even 'move' the Buster Sword in a Sword Swing like fashion.

The Buster Sword is so massive, that you would need to be X-Men Colossus level of strength to properly wield it. That's assuming the handle doesn't break because it's so wimpy compared to the mass of the Buster Swords blade.

I'm assuming you've heard of titanium
That much titanium would still be heavy in the shape of a Buster Sword.

Still not light enough and if titanium is the primary component of your alloy, it'll get expensive very quickly.

It could be argued they used some kind of alloy that was sturdy enough while also being very light. Like mithril in LOTR - practically impervious to damage while being light as a feather.
Let me know when you find such a alloy IRL, you can make a fortune selling it.

When the Buster Sword was being made, it came out to ~123 lbs ~= 55.792 kg

I dare somebody to be stupid enough to try to move 123 lbs of Buster Sword like Cloud does in FF7.

Bonus points for the random chain shackled to it as well. I think this one takes the cake so far. I was going to say the zanbato or w.e. from ruroni Kenshin, but this kind of encompasses that and takes it a step further.
Is that thing an Axe, is it a Sword, a Shield?
WTF, why do you have a short chain?
No way a dude that scrawny is carrying that thing with ease IRL.

Edit: not a Sony era final fantasy guy so I forgot that zanbato is basically the buster sword. For reference.
At least the Zanbato from Rurouni Kenshin knew it's role, it was designed to take down cavalry riders on horse back.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/2/AAAFvAAAC9GY.jpg
The Zanbato has a specific design purpose.

______________________________________________________________________

And if Cloud's classic / iconic Buster Swords was made IRL:

Matt @ Demolition Ranch already tested it

One of the World's Strongest men, Robert Oberst couldn't wield it properly.
Robert Oberst finished in the 10 Ten of "World Strongest Men" challenge.

It takes Robert Oberst + Matt to even move the thing effectively.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k5SauImw9I

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU4MKhvAygg

So basically, real world Swords need to be light weight (within a small weight range)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/3/AAAFvAAAC9GZ.png
IRL Swords in history weren't nearly as heavy as most people think.

KnightofShikari posted...
the way the electoral college is set up it silences the voice of the minority party in each state. so if a state has a 60-40 split then the 40% counts for nothing since it's winner take all rather than a proportional, which i think only a few states do
This is why a "First past the post & Winner Takes All" is the worst thing to happen to Republic Representative Democracies.

Accurate Proportional Representation per seat with no limits on representatives assigned to each seat with accurate Proportional Voting power to each representative is key to real change.

Also, the concept of having 1 person running an entire country is fundamentally stupid.

The Swiss were smarter in having a Executive Council to run a entire Country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Council_(Switzerland)

IMO, replacing the seat of the PotUS with a Executive Council to run the nation is a smarter idea.

And implementing different term limits based on the seat type along with Proportional Representation will have a more flowing, dynamic, Representative Democratic Republic.

Also, we need to outlaw "Back to Back" / Consecutive terms.

The incumbent effect is real and it prevents change in Congress or any representative democracy.

The Executive Council and Congress could learn a few things from the Japanese.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemawashi

Nemawashi is a form of deliberation that builds a consensus on what to and to get shit done.

It's a good lesson for everybody to learn.
