It occured to me over the weekend, having handled an assortment of weapons ranging from my petite squeaky reno-baton, keyblades, gunblades, lightabers, Blade's Glaive, Connor MacLeod's Highlander sword, pom pom's, and many others...
What are the most awesome weapons in anime/manga and games???
Assumng there are several multiverses of answers to this, im simply going to say they have to be the best in their depicted category (Eg: The 100% Pwnage, The daftest, The most unfair ass kicking, The truly amazing for being so damn awful, The 'what does it actually do...', The 'Is it actually a weapon', and The Srsly WTF!?!
You can pretty much make up your own categories as far as i care, and im sure everyone has several favourite weapons so multiple choices are allowed. You can even do your top 5, 10, 100 (if you're truly hardcore), the only requirement is that they have to be Awesome! ;D

I'll kick things off with my personal all time favourite,
Genre: Game
Title:The Legend of Zelda
Specific occurance: Ocarina of Time
Character: Link
Weapon: The Legendary bane of evil's Blade, The Master Sword
Aquired: Upgrade from Kokiri Sword, Pulled from Temple of Time after collecting three spiritual stones
Why its Awesome: Because its shiny! Lol, it can deflect energy balls, and its kicks ganons arse in every game! Similar concept to Excalibur really, only the Hero of Time can pull it from the Pedestal of Time.

(mod note: don't double post if you can help it please)
In the 'Are you compensating for something' category is pretty much....EVERY weapon from Squeenix games XD
But seriously.. I love Kadaj's sword from Advent Children because...double bladed katana! It's absolutely beautiful.
Keyblades I like are Oathkeeper and ...is it called Leonheart? I can't remember, but the one you get from Leon, both in KH2, I love them.
Anime weapons... Alexiel's sword is a WTF of awesome because it has seven blades and appears to be made out of glass (well, it's clear).

My favourite must be the Setsugekka from Shining Wind the game and Shining Tears X Wind the anime I don't really know why, but i just find it a very graceful sword that leaves behind a trail of snowflakes with every slash in the anime. Its the soul blade that Souma Akizuki summons from Touka Kureha and its full name is RyoKen - Setsu Getsu Ka(spirit sword - snow moon flower) |

okies.... hmmmm Anime. There's so many, possibly the entire technique of unlimited blade works from Fate/Stay night.
Games, the patch for Prince of persia where your weapon is a DILDO it does more damage that your sword IT IS WIN.... I sucked playing because I was laughing so hard.

Sephiroths No-Dachi from FFVII.
If films are allowed as well then Uma Thurmans Katana from Kill Bill. (I've held the prop and its beautiful)

Im sorry, but the rail gun from MGS4. I mean that really does deserve the title of BFG if i ever saw it!!!  And im becomming more attracted to the Double helix sword from Majoras mask... i mean it shoots 2 destructo discs in a single swipe!!! thats really impressive considering the amount of time it takes a dragonball z character to do the same attack!! lol ^^ |

My fav is "Levantine" From the anime "Mahou shoujo lyrical nanoha A's" also called the "Demon's Flaming Blade. It has a programmed speaking AI personality that speaks only German. The name may be a reference to Lævateinn, of Norse mythology. Its regular form is a sword. Expending magically charged cartridges, it can transform into a chain-whip or a bow. Sword form:  Whip form:  (kinda looks like Ivy's weapon from soul caliber doesn't it) Bow form:  Plus some other weapons from the anime  |

Hmm its a toughie as there are far too many for me to like- hence why i stick to mecha. You see one giant robot you seen 'em all and that's why i'm being different and picking the Rahxephon because its technically a weapon as it's used to kill/defend HAHA!
lol but i'm inclined to go with along the same lines as shini and go with KH as i adore the Ultima Keyblade in kh2 and Oblivion. But then again i love Riku's keyblade as well... bollocks
As far as anime is concerned its a no brainer- Byakuya Kuchiki's Sen bon zakurara Kageyoshi as its complete and utter pwnage. It be beautiful but pure death on a stick, well sakura leaves i guess in this case! XD
