I can't wait to bring this to my next convention to cosplay giyu. The handle and scabbard are well made and since it'll be sheathed the majority of the time walking around that's the more important part. The blade is a little plain but has a good weight to it. You're not going to be sparring with it, but it'll handle bumps and light smacks just fine. The LEDs are bright and really bring an extra wow factor when you turn them on. They do turn it fairly easily even when its sheathed so make sure you don't waste the battery by accident. Overall i'm really happy with this the sword I do have two complaints with the sword though. The first and biggest pain was assembly. Getting the hand guard and the handle onto the sword took a lot of effort. The handguard is just a few mm smaller so getting into place is a one time deal, I don't think i'll be able to remove it for storage later on. The assembly video tells you to put a towel underneath and bump the whole thing downwards for the handle but I was afraid that it would damage the charging port. Had to just push it against my body and give it lots of force to slide in. The second smaller complaint is that I wish the leds were diffused better. When you turn it on you can see each individual light and I think it would have been better if it looked more of a single solid light. Read more

Never lighted up Read more

Not what I thought. It's not charging nor lightning up after it dies and this is my second one. Read more

Super disappointed with this. I can barely get the pieces together fully. The wiring for the ability for it to light up broke right apart. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Otherwise I guess it looks good Read more

The Giyu sword looks great with minimal flaws and the light-up function works great! Don't use a low-powered charger, I recommend using a fast charging port for your phone to charge the prop as it charges better. I charged it for 2 hours and it worked great after tapping the bottom twice. The materials are mostly plastic and wood and are fairly lightweight, great for carrying around a con. I highly recommend this for any demon slayer fan and cosplayer! Read more
