This Inuyasha Sword Replica Is Perfect For Your Next Cosplay

The Inuyasha anime series and the manga that came before it are some of the most influential pieces of anime media in recent years and this popularity helped keep Japanese katanas prominent in anime. 

Aside from the legendary shikon jewel, the Inuyasha franchise is famous for its tessaiga, tenseiga, and bakusaiga swords, all of which are powerful and symbolic weapons in the show. The best part is that you can get your own replica of these Inuyasha swords for your collection or as an accessory for your next cosplay. 

What Is Inuyasha’s Sword Called?

Tessaiga a.k.a the Tetsusaiga is the name of Inuyasha’s sword and it translates to “Iron-Crushing Fang”. This is because the sword was forged from the tooth of Inu no Taisho, Inuyasha and Sesshōmaru’s father. 

Toga’s legendary power made him one of the fiercest of the dog yokai which is why a sword made from his tooth is able to perform the Wind Scar and Backlash Wave moves that cuts through virtually anything by channeling the aura of its wielder.

Inuyasha’s Tessaiga was made by Totosai, a yokai swordsmith who specializes in making weapons for demons. Inu no Taisho asked him to make the sword so that he could pass it onto his half-demon son.

What Is Sesshōmaru’s Sword?

Sesshōmaru’s sword is known as the Tenseiga, the sister sword of the Tessaiga, making it the second great sword to be made from the tooth of Toga, the legendary Inu no Taisho.

Because of this, the Tenseiga could also perform the Kaze no Kizu and Bakuryūha to help Sesshōmaru cut down his enemies.

It has a good grip or handle thanks to the fabric cord wrapped around it that creates a minimalistic diamond pattern. Like the handguard, the sword’s pommel is made of a bronze-colored metal to give the overall design cohesion.

The sword comes with its own scabbard that has a red cord tied around the top half which matches Inuyasha’s signature red kimono.
