What would be the best combination of metals, metal alloys and/or materials to create a functional, combat-efficient giant sword akin to the ones found in certain animes?
Some of the characters in a story I’m working on use large, two-handed, anime-esque swords as their weapon of choice. These characters are fairly strong in regards to physical strength and durability, but they don’t have the same levels of unrealistic superstrength that you see in characters from other fantasy stories that would allow them to wield a comically large giant sword like the Buster Sword. Because of this, I need to know what a realistic version of these kinds of high-fantasy weapons would be made of if my characters are going to be able to actually use them effectively.
