![]() The sword awakened Nero's power, allowing him to access a Devil Trigger of his own. As Nero was about to die as the hands of Agnus' Bianco Angelos, his Devil Bringer resonated with the broken Yamato and restored it, which was something not even Agnus could do. This is shown in Devil May Cry 4 during Mission 7. Similar to Dante's Rebellion, the Yamato is able (to an extent) to bring out its wielder's true potential. Vergil, during Dante's battle with Arkham where Vergil appears and slices Arkham's hand off from atop a pillar a good distance away, and Dante, when he uses it to destroy the Hellgate with a single swing from a great distance away in Devil May Cry 4. Dante and Vergil demonstrate Yamato's ability to cut far away enemies with normal swings as well. Both abilities are able to strike far away opponents. This ability is capable of hitting any enemies that are within the rather large distortion radius.ĭante attempts to imitate this move in Devil May Cry 4 and the result is a similar ability called Slash Dimension but it lacks the precision and potency of Judgement Cut due to Dante's inexperience with wielding Yamato, unlike Vergil. 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 doesn't appear to even leave its sheath (similar to Iaijutsu, a style of sword techniques). This ability is shown primarily through the sword's ability to create portals for its wielder to travel through. 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. In Devil May Cry 5 there are several instances during which the scabbard seems to be absent from Vergil's person, only for it to unceremoniously reappear when Vergil is next seen.Ī cloaked Vergil using Yamato to open a portal. In Sin Devil Trigger, Vergil absorbs the Yamato into his body and it can be manifested from one of his two blue arm-mounted energy blades.ĭespite having a scabbard, Yamato is only occasionally worn on the waist Vergil and Dante carry it with their hands during battle (though Vergil has been shown to wear it on his waist when not in use), Nero absorbs the Yamato within his Devil Bringer, and Sparda used to strap it to his back when he was alive. For Nero, the sheath appears to be more segmented, but it is otherwise identical. It attaches to an additional appendage on his left arm, and it can adjust the position to allow Vergil to draw or sheathe his sword quicker and thus leaves Vergil's left hand free to wield the blade or other weapons. For Vergil, it alters to appear similar to the sheath of a Kris, an Indonesian traditional dagger and is colored dark blue. In Devil Trigger, Vergil and Nero have different, but similar designs for the scabbard. In Devil May Cry 5, the sageo is blue, with gold dot accents. It also features a yellow sageo, the cord used to tie the katana to the waist. In Devil May Cry 5, the color of kurigata is black. In Devil May Cry 3 and Devil May Cry 4 it has a gold kurigata (absent in the manga). The scabbard is black, made of traditional lacquered wood, and features several metallic ornaments on its far end. 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/hand guard is now 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 no longer a dragon on the pommel/ kashira, and the rim fittings from throughout the sword no longer have flowing line patterns in gold on shakudo like black metal rather, 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. ![]() In Devil May Cry 5, the Yamato has been given a renovation. The inside and back of Nero's Devil Bringer mimic the design of the blade's hilt. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt and with an ornate bronze guard with dragon motifs. ![]() In later installments, the guard is an oval, and the tsuka-ito seems to be braided from white and dark blue material. "handle") has the traditional gold wrapping, with black ornaments, and the Tsuba (鍔, Tsuba ? lit. In the first Devil May Cry, the Tsuka (柄, Tsuka ? lit. The Yamato is a katana the exact details of how it looks change throughout the series.
