This seems like a weight class mismatch.

Yamato. O-Katana are under-represented in media compared to other kinds, and it's the perfect balance of form and function, fancy without being impractical or unwieldy. Best Hamon texture in a game I can think of too.

Looks heavy, cumbersome and unwieldy to me.

That sword is an irony for Vergil, As the meaning of Yamato means "Great Harmony". He sticks to his belief in power, oppressing anything that stands in his way.

Nah, the proportions are pretty close to my old Tameshigiri O-Katana. I guess that's why I'm a bit biased. It *is* unwieldy for how Virgil uses it, but demon powers and all that lol.

Nah, I wasn't gonna get into the fact that since he's using it reverse grip he doesn't know how to use a sword.

It's not biased, reverse grip just doesn't work.

<thinks>
why doesn't it?
nm. *i thought i've seen it in action, but guess not* /sincere :/

EDIT:
okay, i found the real answer
*now i know i have seen it in practice* /true

Reverse Grip Katana​

Using a katana in a reverse grip is not common in traditional martial arts styles and is generally considered less effective than the forward grip. Reverse grip techniques are mainly seen in specific contexts, such as when wielding the katana one-handed for more control, or in scenarios where the opponent is already on the ground, allowing for powerful downward thrusts.4

In grappling situations, reverse grip can offer some advantages, such as stronger blocks and the ability to quickly reach targets behind you. However, it sacrifices reach, leverage, and speed compared to the forward grip.

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

There are technically forms and kata involving reverse grip, but they're incredibly niche and not super practical. It's largely something you'll only ever see in demonstrations and never in a real match. Using such a long sword, then giving up your reach to reverse grip doesn't make a lot of practical sense.

Also don't forget that some european sword manuals taught you to unscrew the pommel to hit folks

on those bigger medieval swords, that pommel would sometimes be used.
