Zigzag katana

🗡️ Weapon background

The ninja sword, also known as the ninja sword or ninja sword, is a weapon commonly used in movies and books depicting feudal Japan. This weapon is associated with modern ninjutsu practitioners such as Yoshiaki Hatsumi and Stephen K. Hayes. Replicas of the ninja sword can be seen at the Koga Ninja Village Museum in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, and the Iga-ryu Ninja Museum in Iga City.

However, there is no conclusive evidence in history that ninjas used specific 'ninja swords'. The ninja sword is believed to be based on a wakizashi or fixed sword type design. Dr. Stephen Turnbull, a historian who specializes in Japanese military history, believes that the most important weapon of a ninja is the sword. The standard Japanese sword, the katana, was often used by ninjas, who would choose a shorter and straighter blade than usual.

✨ Module Features

The straight katana is a common weapon used by ninjas. Therefore, I created the Z-shaped katana, which is characterized by a straight blade.

🔪 **Unique blade design**:

  • The shape of the blade is inspired by the letter "N", consisting of eight "N"s and the number "7"
  • Blade appearance example: "===NNNNNNNN7"

🎋 **Exquisite detail processing**:

  • The hilt design is inspired by the lobster tail
  • The scabbard has been adjusted to include engravings that resemble dragon scales

🌟 **Innovative design concept**:

This design was the result of an accidental thought that in my opinion created a new katana style. If you're interested, feel free to try it!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
