FFXI Great Katana 6

Wards against evil have been carven deep into this giant sword.

The Zanmato (斬魔刀, Zanmatō?), also known as Zanbato, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with Samurai, and may inflict instant death.

Appearances

Final Fantasy VI

Legendary katana tempered in the depths of the earth.

Description

Cyan can equip the Zanmato in the Advance port. It is the strongest katana available, Holy-elemental, and yields an attack power of 245, +7 Strength and Stamina, +30% Evasion, and enables the Bushido and Runic commands. It can be found in the Dragons' Den by defeating the Holy Dragon, or by betting the Godhand in the Dragon's Neck Colosseum.

Final Fantasy XI

Zanbato is a generic high level great katana. It shares its model with the Hagun, a very powerful (and expensive) great katana.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Zanmato is an Artefact. The indecipherable script engraved into this enchanted blade identifies it as the weapon once used to slay a demon in a single blow. It is a talwar-type sword of immense size.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Giant sword engraved with words of destruction.

Description

Zanmato is a katana that can be equipped by Ninjas and Assassins. Furthermore, it teaches Ultima Masher to Assassins for 999 AP. It provides +22 Attack, +2 Magic, increases Holy resistance and halves Dark damage, and is Holy-elemental. It can be obtained after completing Mission #029: Wanted!, from raising Smithing to level 50, or by stealing it from an enemy during Mission #27: Royal Valley.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

Zanmato is a katana in the sequel, and can be equipped by Ninjas, Assassins, and Parivir job. It still teaches the Ultima Masher ability to Assassins. Illua uses this weapon in her last fight. The Ninja leader of the Duelhorn warband, Maquis the Phantasm uses this weapon throughout the whole Duelhorn storyline, except when he first loses his memory in the Lethean Draught mission.

This katana can be obtained by first selling a Lightwing Crystal, Bundle of Needles, and an Aqua Galac on the bazaar. Once unlocked in the shop, it can be purchased for 5,800 gil. The Zanmato gives +8 to the Magic stat, is of the Holy element, and grants immunity to Dark.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT

The Zanmato is one of Garland's unlockable weapons. It can only be obtained by purchasing it as DLC from the PlayStation Store. Like all other characters' weapons, equipping it offers no advantages or disadvantages.

Etymology

Zanmatō (斬魔刀?, lit. demon-cutting sword) is a pun based on Zanbatō (斬馬刀?, lit. horse-cutting sword). In addition to sounding similar, ma is also an alternative reading of ?.

The Zanbatō is a weapon supposedly made to cut down a horse and its rider in one swing.
