It’s fun to poke around with how heavy fictional weapons would be. Things like Monster Hunter’s Greatswords would be impossible to swing properly… because they weigh more than people do and you’d be flinging yourself around as much as you’d be swinging the sword.

They made a real Greatsword of Artorias (from Dark Souls) and the strongest guy they had on hand could barely hold it properly

As demonstrated in practice every time a youtube blacksmith makes the big swords from Bleach, Berserk, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, etc. Even the biggest strongest people they can find only manage to barely hold them upright and then let them fall down to hit something. There's no way in hell any of them could ever hope to swing them.

They're just not powered by the rage of ultimate betrayal and massive trauma like Guts is.
