Right, six feet. See, that's technically tall. Most people are shorter than that. It's a sound theory.

I bet that the handle is the only real part and the rest was added in through computer.

i bet it was jus leaning against the wall, and a good use of photoshop made it look like he was holding it

Ive already seen this pic in DP forum and I heard it wasnt the biggest size you could buy at the shop and that this one is the little version. The berserk section is gone so I can't verify it.

*Shakes head* Um, guys, that’s a soft combat Dragon Slayer. Most of it is made out of latex or something, but it is real. Also, that’s the largest one the store offers, and it’s seven feet long. I still think that’s too big though. Handle and all, the sword is probably six feet long. See, Gatts is probably six feet tall, and the sword is as tall as he is. The only reason it doesn’t drag the ground while on his back, is because it’s at a slight angle.

When they say in the manga its as talls as him that doesnt necessarily mean it actually is, people do tend to exaggerate, still thats a big sword

But I want a REAL one, not a latex one >_>

Yeah, I want a real one too...but I guess I'll have to settle for a latex one, eventually *sigh*.
As for the sword being as tall as he is; I think it really is. I mean, look at how it's position on his back. Now make it completely vertical. Yep, pretty damn close.

Most likely wont be able too, thats where working out comes in

heh, when your friends ask you why your suddenly working out...you say to lift a goddamn sword.
They'll probably think it's the Excalibur...! Those ignorant bastards....

Yeah, unless the thing weighs as much as Shisho said, which I'm still not sure about, then there's no way. If somone picks up a thousand pound sword, then my hat is off to them. I doubt it weighs that much though.

Thousand pounds I doubt, I'd say about 200-300 lbs at least. Plus, I've always been working out. I just do it more just so I can BE ABLE to lift something like the Dragonslayer
