I'm going to do as much research as possible before posting all of this, but this page will be dedicated to Bankotsu's trusted companion- his weapon, Banryu.
It should be noted that ALL weapons and Armor for all military/infantry back in those days, was crafted from iron, which means it was extremely heavy!
A weapon the size and caliber of this massive halberd, would have weighed at least 400 lbs or more. Let me tell you, anyone who could wield yet alone as expertly, a weapon that heavy I sure as heck wouldn't want mad at me!:P
Among the screen shots are my two attempts at drawing Banryu in paint... An artist I am so not :P
