For a True BFS the current pic is rather small in scale. it needs to be bigger like Rakan's Skyscraper sized Warship Breaker Sword.

The trope is about big swords that people use. The current picture shows it just fine.

It's a little boring, though. We might as well at least try to find something more interesting.

What about Guts' sword from Berserk? Or Sanosuke's Zanbato from Rurouni Kenshin? It's EASILY bigger and a better example than Cloud's buster sword.

I think the current picture is nice and fine. Shows exactly what the trope is about, no need to change it.

Yup, the current is nicely straightforward, and shows a bloody enormous sword. It's just fine for illustrating the trope.

What's precedent ever done for us?

It'd be nice if the current image was more exaggerated or had more action in it. Right now, it does illustrate the trope, but it's also needlessly bland. What's wrong with trying to make it better?

Well Rakan's Sword is used for Exactly What It Says on the Tin A Warship Breaker, he destroyed 137 Warships. More warships than even the Boring Invincible Hero Himself. [1] also gets a lot of use fighting Voltron sized "God Solders" and Giant Dragons.

EDIT: ^ I guess but no one ever looks at those sadly sad wish they were more noticeable.

^ I don't think it really matters what he uses for, but the ridiculously exaggerated size gets the point across pretty well. It's also more entertaining to look at than 'generic guy C holding generic sword B.' And no one does look at the imagelinks; if they want to see big swords, they'll just google image search or something.

Current one is fine. Put the other images in the image links wiki.

If I may, I recommend finding and using a pic of the fully upgraded Giga Sword from 3D Dot Game Heroes. You know your sword is completely ridiculous when it's 70 times your size, and you can STILL use it. XD

^The trope focuses on improbably large swords far more than impossibly large swords. The image should reflect the most common incarnation of this trope, not this trope taken to its most extreme. As mentioned before, you can still add it to the pages image links.

Well, I just added this thing to the image links. Of special note is that it's not even halfway finished being drawn.

Y/N?

I have a message from another time...

I'd say no. It just looks like a really long sword.

You also have to know the work to know that it isn't almost completely drawn.
