Is there any weapon (or object) that can stand against the DS in skilled hands?

Just wondering if any of you think there is a weapon that can stand against the Dragon Slayer as it is now? Obviously most swords, shields, and such of the normal human variety dont really stand a chance against it and most of the apostles weapons of choice rarely stand against it for long (Grunbeld's shield and hammer, Zodd's sword on the hill of swords) before breaking.

So I wonder if there is any object, that if in the hands of a skilled user to could stand up to the DS in a prolonged battle. I know certain weapons bypass it or overpower it in other means like Irvine's not gonna swing his bow at Guts, he's going to fire off from afar. So do you think there might be a melee weapon that could stand against Guts in the past or that their might be one in the future?

Well, Locus' lance is not a normal weapon (being able to extend and shrink, transforming with him, etc), so it might prove unusually resistant. Aside from that, for now I think nothing comes close to it.

It's not impossible to me to imagine that in the future we'll see weapons of a higher caliber that would be able to stand against the DS in battle, but for now it's pretty much unrivaled.

On a side note, the Elemental Axe could have been interesting in that regard, but I guess we'll never know how good it actually was. :beast:

So, the Hill of Swords battle again, only longer?

Hell yea! A fight with genetically enchanced super swords!
This is the fight that doesn't end! It just goes on and on, my friend!
 
Pretty much, I'd like to see the results of Zodd Vs Gutts without things like breaking weapons getting in the way of pure skill, not that we didnt see skill when Zodd used two swords of Guts attacked Zodd with a sword on his foot.

We will see pure skills after both of their weapons break and the duel changed its course from sword fighting to bare-handed wrestling. :zodd:

The result was apparent; Guts had the upper hand.

Definitely, although I think having the Sword of Resonance would give him an unfair advantage. I mean, c'mon, he can cut through space/time. :badbone: <-- too cool for words. But yeah, I agree with Walter that Guts had the upper hand and probably would've emerged the victor. Alas, it was interrupted prematurely... :judo:

Mentioning about the elemental axe, Serpico's wind elemental sword might be on par with the DS in the hands of Serpico. Besides, its full potential and lethality to withstand physical damage hasn't been proven yet. Who knows if Serpico might set up a duel against Guts again? :carcus:

HawaiianStallion dismissed that kind of comparison in his first post, taking Irvine's bow as an example. Besides, I think it's pretty clear that the feather sword isn't the best to withstand physical damage.

I doubt that. :SK:

Yeah, Serpico and Guts appear to have settled things for now. I doubt a rematch will happen again (and if it does, only under abnormal circumstances).

Et tu, Serpico? You'll never be the next JODO now! :judo:

 
Re: Is there any weapon (or object) that can stand against the DS in skilled han

I guess Serpico apostle got nothing to do with this thread lol...


Anyway I am believe Hanafubuku may have some incredible item or weapon up its sleeve... I am just speculating though :guts:

Weakness is a disease; I am the cure.
Well I'd say that no earthly weapon can damage the Dragon Slayer anymore. If a weapon were to be able to compete against it, it would have to have magical properties- like Skull Knight's Sword or Resonance for example. But I also can't imagine Guts getting a new sword due to the DS breaking, because that's what he's known for (among other things.) What I can see happening is it getting broken in half and having to weld it together with the fires of Hades-something-or-other, and it becoming more powerful overall.
Damn...I gotta stop watching Inuyasha.

Well considering how much of an icon of Guts' character the DS has become I don't see him losing it by the same means he's lost his other swords. If the DS were to break (which is unlikely, considering he was swinging it almost continuously for 2 years with only a few nicks and cracks as damage) it would probably just be repaired (finally, something for Rickert to do). But, also seeing as it has gained the ability to hurt a God Hand, I don't think it needs any further addition (magic or otherwise).
