Meanwhile the main weapon is terrible, IMO.

I don't believe weapons need to be compatible with the gimmicks to be good but I do believe they need something more than a button and an on/off switch. The daidaimaru could connect to the mussou saber which activated a connecting sound and had lights. Those three tiny things may sound insignificant but I feel like they go a long way in providing a tactile, auditory and visual satisfaction when playing with the toy.

I'd love it if you could go more in depth with why you like the sword so much. Our first impressions are so drastically different from each other's lol.
