It's a blade that doesn't cut? So how are you supposed to fight with a sword like that?
The Tenseiga is not a sword used against foes. To put it simply, it is a sword of healing.
Healing?
The Testsuaiga is a sword that defeats the powerful, and the Tenseiga is a sword that has the ability to save the lives of the weak.
It saves lives?
If the bearer has kindness of heart towards humanity, then the Tenseiga has the power to save a hundred people in one sweep.
Kindness of heart?
So the Tetsusaiga can slay a hundred demons in one sweep, and the Tenseiga can save a hundred people in one sweep?
But how are you able to use this sword as a weapon?
It must have the ability to bring back dead souls. Such a power could be very useful during these Fuedual times.
I almost called the sword "the Coffin Cheater", but I opted for Tenseiga instead. It was a little more classy. Actually, it was your father who suggested the name.
I get it now. No wonder Sesshomaru wants a new sword. He can't use his. He's incapable of feeling kindness for people, let alone saving lives.
Too bad this isn't working. It was your father's last wish.
Your brother's so black hearted.
He wouldn't be happy with the sword, even if he could use it.
