Costume Contest Winner - No Recount Needed

November 5, 2008

From all of us in the Heavenlyswords offices - We’re happy to announce that we had a clear winner this year in the Heavenly Swords 2008 Costume Contest. No recount necessary!

First place goes to Carolann! Her stunning creation clearly took hours and hours of hard work. The final product was, well, top notch. Carolann’s costume was modeled after Shiva, from Final Fantasy. In her own words:

The costume is of Shiva from Final Fantasy and features an Ice sword I constructed myself out of silicone. I also made the rest of the outfit and it has over 400 fabric triangles to making up the coat and shield.

Well done Carolann!

Special mention goes to our other top 2 finishers - Frank and Elliot - Both had great costumes (see pics 5 and 6)

Thanks to all for your participation! We were flooded with entries and hope to have even more fun contests on the way. If you missed this one - you’ll have more chances to win coming soon!

Naruto Zabuza Sword

October 15, 2008

Zabuza is a dangerous assassin who seeks out to kill all in his way. Zabuza was a member of the Kirigakure village (Village Hidden in the Mist.)

His ability excels in silent killing and stealth and is a legend among ninjas, hailing from the Hidden Mist Village (also known as Bloody Mist Village). When he was a young boy, he killed over 100 students even though he wasn’t a ninja.

He had a friend, named Haku and seeked to kill Gato, Tazuna, and of course, Kakashi. After Haku died, Zabuza sacrificed himself to kill Gato, who had disrespected Haku. As we all know, he also fought and came close to killing Kakashi…

In Japanese, Zabuza Momochi means “he who never strikes twice”.

We are proud to bring you Zabuza’s Sword! Take your Naruto cosplay and costume playing to a whole new level!

Zabuza’s weapon of choice is the giant Decapitating Carving Knife (Kubikiri Hōchō), an oversized, broad sword that is later wielded by Suigetsu Hozuki. The circle cut out of the top and the semicircle near the handle, as demonstrated by Suigetsu later in the manga, seem to fit its purpose of decapitation aptly. Its handle also appears to be retractable, as its handle is very short when shown on Suigetsu’s back but becomes significantly longer by about four times when he fights with it.

Zabuza Sword specifications:

48″ inches of flesh ripping power
440 stainless steel
Black leather sheath
Ninja sharp
