You know, I haven't noticed this happening yet, and I feel like one of these days I'm going to see it and never be able to unsee it. Which would be a shame, because Gekido is real cool! I'll even stick up for those holes in the blade, since I think they're there for the very practical purpose of keeping the weight of both the prop and the toy down to make it more manageable to hold.

So let's put that behind us and go for Calibur's Kurayami, because dude, this thing's cool.

I will note that Kurayami probably would've been my answer prior to the whole "thinking about it" thing.

Nagare is also a good choice though; a classy looking sword for a classy Rider.

I can barely even agree with myself!

I was really hoping there'd be some wide-ranging opinions on this. A huge part of the fun of a multi-Rider show is the idea that everybody is somebody's favorite, and in the case of Saber, it just kinda made sense to me that would apply to the swords, too. It's interesting to have a Rider series that has so far limited itself to finding as many spins as possible on a single type of weapon. Although Suzune honestly feels kinda like it's cheating on that front.

It especially makes me happy to see some love for Hayate already, because I've realized Kenzan doesn't get me excited for some reason even though I should be all over him. The big shuriken gimmick especially is very awesome! It's just no musical handgun to me, apparently.

This is a good point. I have to say, I think the three SworDriver ones are also pretty remarkably non-toyetic by the standards of Rider nowadays. Like, yeah, there's very obviously the good side/bad side thing going on, which a real sword probably won't have, but in terms of style and detail, they keep it remarkably simple all things considered.
