Zanbatou is a weapon in the series.

History[]

A zanbatō is an especially large, curved type of fictional sword used in Japanese anime and manga. There are no references to zanbatō as being actual swords used in feudal Japan. The name zanbatō translates to "horse-slaying sword" or "horse-chopping saber." Original examples came from Song Dynasty China and were employed by anti-cavalry infantry. The Zanbatō's curve stretches the length of the blade and handle, similar to a katana.

Zhanmadao, a Chinese anti-cavalry weapon also written as 斬馬刀 (zhǎn mǎ dāo) and of similar proportion to a Zanbatō, originated during the Han Dynasty.
