![]() ![]() It creates a distortion in space that engulfs his target which is sliced multiple times by the blade in very rapid succession. Vergil utilizes an ability called Judgement Cut in which he draws and swings so fast that Yamato does not appear to even leave its sheath (similar to Iaijutsu, a style of sword techniques). The sword was specifically designed to counteract the immense dimensional energies emitted by the Convergence whereupon it was being channeled through the Seven Gates of Hell. This ability is shown primarily through the sword's ability to create portals for its wielder to travel through. It is also noted to be even sharper than the Muramasa Blade which was able to slice through Fleurety's seemingly indestructible skin. The sword is said to be able to cut through anything, even the very fabric of space itself. Yamato is far sharper than ordinary blades, and is imbued with tremendous demonic power. The blade has also been given prominent temper lines. The hamon featured is a kawazuko choji or tadpole head clove flower styled hamon as similar to those found on blades historically made by Osafune Nagamitsu. The tsuba/handguard is gold and a deep navy blue, shaped like an octagon with two trapezoidal halves, each with gold dot pattern patches and in a grove like motif with gold rings, inside of which are various circles in clusters of three, arranged in triangular patterns, and the gold habaki/fuller is also with a similar embossed pattern. There is a dragon on the pommel/kashira, and the rim fittings from throughout the sword have flowing line patterns in gold gold dragon styled menuki are inserted underneath the tsukamaki to allow for the fingers to grip. The tsukamaki handle has pattern closer to a real katana, giving it the traditional diamond shape in the negative space. Eventually, in the modern age, it was given to Vergil as a memento. Several thousand years later, the sword would be used by Sparda against Absalom alongside Trevor and Sypha, with the Blood God developing a fear of the sword itself. The Yamato would be used to effectively destroy the Gateways without catastrophic blowbacks in the process while also being used to combat the Kings of Hell who held their place by the Gateways as a means to weaken their link to the material plane. The Yamato was created to counter the dimensional energies of the Convergence as Sparda feared that a simple spell would result in devastating after effects. In response to this, Sparda split his power, fragmenting it into three pieces, with among these three being the Yamato itself, embodying a "god of death". When Sparda first rebelled against his masters, and was fresh from his defeat of Mundus and his armies, he saw that the method required to seal the Gate of Hell which was operated by Mundus and his armies that channels the energies of the Convergence would waste too much time and effort and one where he could not allow another's blood to be spilled for the spell to properly take effect and seal off the Gate. Yamato once belonged to Vergil's father, Sparda who split his immense power into three pieces. ![]()
