In the world of action video games, few blades possess a soul as singular as that of Samuel Rodrigues. Nicknamed “Minuano” or Jetstream Sam, this charismatic antagonist from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has left a lasting impression. However, it's his weapon, the Murasama high-frequency katana, that crystallizes all passions. Why Sam Jetstream's Murasama sword become the centerpiece of every video game replica collection?
The Murasama sword is no mere technological weapon. Its history is rooted in the purest Japanese tradition, as it is an “Odachi” blade passed down from generation to generation in Sam's family. Originally, this blade was a traditional Japanese sword of exceptional quality.
Nevertheless, to survive in the futuristic world of cyborgs, this weapon had to evolve. Sam's family has incorporated cutting-edge technology to transform this relic of the past into a weapon of mass destruction. Unlike standard sabers, Sam Jetstream's sword emits a characteristic scarlet glow. This color comes from the special coating applied to the blade to withstand high-frequency vibrations, enabling it to slice through material at the molecular level.

If you ask a Metal Gear fan which is the saga's most memorable weapon, Raiden's sword often comes out on top. Sam Jetstream's Murasama sword has an “extra soul” that makes all the difference.
The most fascinating aspect of the Murasama is its high-tech scabbard. Sam doesn't use a simple sheath; he has a trigger mechanism similar to that of an assault rifle. As a result, he can project his sword with prodigious muzzle velocity. This technique, inspired by the art of Iaidō (rapid sword drawing), gives Sam a major tactical advantage. It's this technical detail that makes replicas of this weapon so popular with discerning collectors.
The blood-red color of the blade contrasts violently with the often gray or blue designs of other technological weapons. This aesthetic reinforces Sam's wild, unpredictable side. Own Sam Jetstream's sword is to choose a piece that immediately catches the eye with its deep, mysterious red.

The importance of Sam Jetstream's sword is underlined in the final duel between Sam and Raiden. It's a weapon that carries with it the convictions of its owner. Sam believes that “tools of justice have no place on the battlefield”. His blade doesn't seek to be moral; it seeks to be effective.
So, when Raiden finally recovers the Murasama to confront Senator Armstrong, the sword's symbolism changes. It becomes the tool of liberation. This weapon transfer is one of the most epic moments in video game history. To own this replica is to own the symbol of ultimate victory and self-transcendence.
