Obvious choice for a Date Masamune's sword, since he was called the Dokuganryû and all... but it was not Masamune favourite and most prestigious weapon. Beside, I don't see the point if the Kurikara Horimono is not represented on the pictures. XD Lord Masamune's best blade was a katana called Kuronbogiri (nigger slayer) Kagehide. Maybe it was avoided for racist issues. ^^'

Kuronbogiri was used by Masamune in the Imjin War. It was used for Tameshigiri on a korean with dark complexion, great sizes and bones. It passed through 20cm in the man's torso. Masamune also killed an ennemy mounted general with Kuronbogiri, cutting through the helmet AND the saddle (meaning, only the horse was spared).

Kuronbogiri Kagehide, best Masamune sword.
