Clouds Sword

[MarluxiaNo11]

umm we all know that cloud's buster sword wasn't bandaged up in FF7 since FF7 has nothing to do with KH so that part wasn't needed. and that was a good thought for the bandages representing something that happened to cloud in the past of KH. 15th also makes a good point for how Squall changed his name to Leon to mask his pain and maybe Cloud did the same thing with the bandages on his swords to mask his pain

He use's his sword a lot obviously :glare:
So could it be that his sword is close to him so he wraps it up just like he has wrapped himself up from the rest of the world like he does not want anyone to get involved with whats happening with him and Sephiroth ?:idea:

Sounds like a good idea, but I don't think and hope that the Sephy-Cloud struggle will be shown in the KH series

 

[Almagest]

his blade can seperate into like 5 smaller swords, so the bandages hold it together so that when it is used with great force, it wouldn't seperate or something like that...

I have to agree.

Check out Cloud's sword in FF...

...and his sword in KH. Right above the guard. Don't they look similar?

^Doesnt really explain why this one is bandaged. http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4706/cloudsbandagedbusterswojz0.jpg

In Advent Children, his sword used to split into 6 pieces, but in FF7, it didnt. He used this sword.

In KH1, that sword (the Buster Sword) is bandaged.

Yes i see what you mean, we could always ask Nomura

 

[Azrael]

Here's an good answer: Because it looks kick ass and to prevent the sword from falling apart

 

[Angel Jenna]

I think it does have some deep meaning. He lost his light in the KH series right? so mabey he wraps his sword in bandages because it symbolizes himself.

 

[Azrael]

Because he is wrapped up and isolated from the world

your point was? *purposely being stupid more or less asshole-ish*

i was kinda refering to what you said (how he wraps it up to represent his closure from everything else)
so what was with the 'He use's his sword a lot obviously' comment.
and you didn't need the apostrophe (no idea if i spelled that right) in use's just uses

oh and what's with this bandaged to keep the sword together...his swords have been through hell and back and didn't need bandages to hold them together through it all

 

[Heartless Person]

everyone says that its clouds ultima weapon because clouds ultima weapon is supposed to be covered with that bandage

 

[The_Zero_Heart]

that makes no sense due to we can tell those swords are not the ultima weapon

 

[Zephyr]

no. lol... it's not cloud's ultima weapon. do you even know how it looks like ? cloud's ultima weapon in final fantasy vii looks a little more different than that. it looks kinda purplish...

 

[The_Zero_Heart]

*In a Reno type attitude* For those who just don't knowhttp://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Image:FF7_ultima_weapon.jpg

this is the ultima weapon that Cloud uses

another pic of the ultima weapon

so that's cleared up no more some people say the sword he uses (whether buster or first tsurugi) that's wrapped up is the ultima weapon. they look nothing a like:closedeyes:

 

[Orion]

I think it's probably to limit himself and not destroy tons of stuff with a tiny swing. Or something along those lines.

 

[Dark Shards]

Or it is to create a cool effect... Some people look into things to far!

 

[O a t h keeper]

It's probably just for design.

But, I guess it could have a figurative meaning.
The sword could be a metaphor for Cloud, who has "internal wounds" that need to be bandaged.
Obviously, the wounds are figurative and represent the hard life he has had, battling/searching for Sephiroth all alone for many, many years, and his descent into darkness as a result.

...
But it's probably just for design. =P

 

[KHfan1905]

Maybe it absorbs impact so he doesn't go flying when someone strong hits his sword.

 

[O a t h keeper]

How do tattered bandages absorb impact of strong attacks?
That's just silly.

 

[Regret]

There's nothing special about it. It's like asking why in KH1 did he wear some of Vincent's clothes. I'd say they were doing stuff when Barret walked in the dark room and Cloud just grabbed everything. Or as it's meant, a new look for the KH series.

That's all it is is just a new look. Nothing special or anything. And please try to remember that the Final Fantasy universe has nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts. The characters are nothing but cameos. AKA, they could be switched out with new characters because there really is nothing special about them or makes them important to the story because it deals with their REAL worlds.

IMO, this thread was over at this post.
