While Mugen’s sword is never named in the series, a video game based on Samurai Champloo gave his weapon a title — Typhoon Swell. Mugen’s sword in Samurai Champloo seems to be a blend of the traditional katana as well as an Okinawan sai.
The curve of the blade is clearly influenced by the katana, while the two prongs near the handle were used in the sai blades to protect the handle. Because this blade is a combination of both, Mugen can use the katana’s range offensively as well as the sai’s prongs defensively. The end of the saya reveals a hidden tanto knife that is almost made with folded 1095 high carbon steel
