Yep, it only self aligns for when the force driving it is gravity. When you swing it, it's not gravity. So the center of gravity being on the edge won't help. Also the curve of the katana is very slight and makes minimal difference in the slicing motion as well. As least according to everyone who tested it and compared it to straight blades and to more significantly curved blades.

You forgot to mention that the AoT blade is used like a box cutter , it wasn’t built to slice open a wound with it’s middle blade but to cut open a flesh with the tip of the blade , like how box cutters are used . Mainly because their main purpose are to cut chunks of flesh away , instead of cutting straight through clean , although there are instances where Mikasa literally slices Porco’s leg clean and I don’t know about that , probably had to do with the fact that she’s an Ackermann and she’s stronger than 20 adult man combined (remember when she carried like 10 steel beams by herself , during the train track building scene)

If there is anything different historical cultures agree on it is that swords are not very good on battlefields.

Even the European manuals describe how if you face a Knight with your longsword you are better of wrestling him and pulling your dagger. For clarification, I think thrusting is better.

@@sethmccuckins No, but its definitely misinformation. The curve in the sword doesn't really help with edge alignment. I don't know what that cardboard test is even doing. What it does do is change the surface area the blade has while cutting. Meaning you will get a better cut with a curved sword than you would with a straight blade. Its not that sword is lining up perfectly, but rather you have a higher margin for error. Just another way to think about it. Understand that when you are holding the sword, blade isn't in free fall. You are holding and if your position is off the blade won't change position to offset. If it did it would be bad blade since you can't control it.

Any sword will deflect if your edge alignment is bad, it doesn't matter if its curved or straight. Its a matter of skill. Though where curved swords excel is the that while they are cutting they make better contact with the material. ONLY IF YOUR EDGE ALIGNMENT IS ALREADY GOOD. The sword will not magically fall into place and auto adjust. Curved swords just cut better on worse cuts.

1. The “automatic edge alignment” thing is a common misunderstanding. It only happens when you drop the blade, while gripping and swinging it you absolutely need to be able to align the edge yourself. Just watch a tameshigiri competition and you’ll see how much skill matters. 2. The blades in attack on titan are meant to be mass-producible and disposable. They don’t have access to large quantities of high-quality steel, so they make cheap box cutter blades that are sharp enough to do the job once.

The blade is SPECIFICALLY designed for cutting through the soft flesh of the titan’s neck (hence why it looks like a giant boxcutter). You grapple up to the titan’s neck, slice their throat, and then they bleed out. It’s a monster slaying weapon, not a dueling weapon.

Well yea, the longsword is a generalist sword that does a decent job at stabing and slashing, having better reach and a big guard. Katanas are made just for slashing and are better at it but the moat important aspect is the steel type. Longswords are made from a far superior steel (mainly because they were made during different times and technologies differed a lot too). But if you just compare sword types ignoring the materials, i would go with what makes me feel more comfortable for me to wield.

@@charmzee8749 depending on the longsword the steel quality was indeed better this is due to that europa has more pure iron then in japan. you are indeed very correct about the process is different due to technologie difference but it wasn't like europe didn't know the method the japanese used to make an katana as in the middle east they made sword that is pretty simialure as the katana.

AoT sword can be stored efficiently in the boxes beside their hips, they’re intended to break so they have to carry multiple. They also wouldn’t work if they were curved; consider the process of taking down a titan: you have to approach at an angle to prevent yourself from crashing into it (you have to have speed behind your slice or it won’t cut deep enough and you also wouldn’t want to sit on the back of a titan, so you have to do this). To cut deep enough at an angle you need a straight blade instead of a curved one, a curved blade would clear the nape (unless it was ridiculously long, which is logistically infeasible for transport and use) without killing the titan. A straight blade works perfectly in this case because the user is supposed to use their body mid flight to curve the path the swords take as they go through the nape, allowing them to exit the cut fluidly while also cutting as deep as possible with the swords length.

Here's why they work in the AOT universe imo: 1. Them being straight and segmented allows for mass manufacture and for blades to come off when they get dull, also easier to equip. If the sword is curved, the large metal sheathes have to be curved too. 2. Their design looks a lot lighter and thinner, ideal for agile movement in the air. They need two to cut the nape properly too

I've only watched a bit of AOT and I honestly love the swords from a design perspective. I think its design was used to show its a simple blade to be easily mass produced, be sharp, and easily replaceable since it has quick releases. A lot like box cutters. If its heavy, I don't think it'll matter much since they probably wouldn't be swinging it with their arms, but rather with the momentum from their movement gear. And it being a heavy blade would probably be helpful because they're fighting titans and it'd help slice through with weight rather than pure sharpness. Kinda like a claymore?

The idea behind the Quick release and the Breakaway blade is to make sure that in the event the blade gets stuck in the titan either with a failed cut, or one that makes the titan fall, they can break away the blade and escape. "Why not just drop the sword tho and use a better quality blade where this is less likely to happen?" because the hilts of the blades are also what aims and shoots their grappling hooks. Dropping the blade = death All that said, they probably still should have been curved a little....

Dropping the sword just demonstrates that property more obviously and easier to see than doing a whole cutting test involving high speed cameras and a high amount of cuts for a large sample size.

@@Phrygid they were both dropped at an angle, though in general the edge alignment of a blade has more to do with its balance than it’s geometry (though curving does help towards an edge alignment), you can make straight edged blades balanced for an edge alignment and you can make poorly balanced curved blades that have terrible edge alignment. clearly this prop fictional blade was not balanced for cutting

When titans come I'm using a blade designed to kill titans more affectively, plus the AOT blade is made in small sections so if one part breaks off you can keep using it until you need to reload, aaaaand that means that you have many chances to kill a titan if your blade breaks, if your karana breaks you're nothing but a nice meal for a titan
