Yamato and Rebellion

[Shin Muramasa]

Perhaps Yamato was crafted by Eva. It doesn't seem very demon weapon like.

Which Eva are we talking about? DmC Eva the angel? Or DMC Eva the human? If DmC, that could be plausible, but the insignia behind Yamato during the cutscene looks really wicked and not in a good way. If DMC Eva, that probably wouldn't be that likely. Yamato was said to have been used by DMC Sparda to seal hell gates and probably combat long before Eva existed. Force Edge/Sparda was probably used a lot by him too. But Rebellion is more of a mystery if he ever used it at all.

Edit: Both Yamato from DMC and DmC look just like regular katanas, nothing demonic, angelic, or ethereal about them appearance-wise. As I stated, there isn't a lot you can do to make katanas look all that different. Jagged edges maybe, or different tsubas, hilts, wrapping, sheaths, etc.

 

[Dante Redgrave]

Yea I remember that movie.

So just for the sake of comparing

Tessaiga/Rebellion

Tenseiga/Yamato

Sō'unga/Force Edge


Granted this is all just for the sake of comparing and neithrer of the swords share much in common.

Just that we have 2 swords passed down to his 2 sons and 1 sword that he once possessed that was the most powerful of the 3.

Sou'unga was the sword of Hell, it brought the dead back to life as mindless slaves IIRC, and actually drove Inu's youkai blood into overdrive. Tetsusaiga was the Sword of Earth(pure offense) and Tenseiga was the Sword of Heaven(revives the dead). Pretty apt comparisons really
