Why does the Ebony Blade look like the sword from the new Blade movie.

[Guest]

WI was watching YT vids on upcoming movies and saw the Ebony Blade referenced in a trailer for the new Blade movie, see pics.

I don't normally go for vampire movies and have never followed the Series in print either but one has to admit that they are the same blade.

Anyone care to enlighten me on this?

 

Spoiler

From the movie preview.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from Skyrim.

That is clearly a screen shot from Skyrim, whoever made the video took the image from USEP's ebony blade page. Figures that a channel that uses an AI voice to do the narration doesn't do any research and just picked the first image from google.

Do you really think so?

I agree it looks like a Skyrim screenshot...

It, (the Ebony Blade) had a very short spot in the preview video, but it said that it was used by Blade to kill Vampires.

Just curious if it is in the Blade vampire culture.

I'm absolutely sure that the ebony blade shown is Skyrim's not Blade's. Having looked at a Blade (2025) trailer the weapons look completely different.

That image in the video is literally the promotional image for the Ebony Blade in Elder Scrolls Online.

It is likely just a joke. After all, the Elder Scrolls Ebony Blade is inspired by the Marvel Comics weapon wielded by The Black Knight.

WI sah sich YT Vids in kommenden Filmen an und sah, wie sich die Ebony Blade in einem Trailer für den neuen Blade -Film, siehe Bilder.

Normalerweise gehe ich nicht für Vampirfilme und habe der Serie auch in gedruckter Form noch nie gefolgt, aber man muss zugeben, dass sie die gleiche Klinge sind.

Möchte mich jemand dazu aufklären?

This blade is inspired by Japanese katana swords... these were, among other things, the model for the swords of the "Blades" Order... anyone who has played "Oblivion" knows their central function as the emperor's bodyguard.

In "Skyrim" (Alduin's Wall) the origin or original function of these "blades" is revealed -> they were dragon hunters

AND

they come from the continent of "Akavir"... and were NOT humans!

These "creatures" naturally brought their weapons (and armor) with them when they invaded - which were deliberately based on the eastern world (aka Japan!).

The swordsmiths in Tamriel do not make katana blades - the katana blades that appear in "Oblivion" and "Skyrim" are all either ancient Akavir swords or the swords of the emperor's bodyguard.

 

The blade shown in the picture is a Daedric artifact (from "Mephala") - the game developers of "Skyrim" were inspired by a Japanese katana or the "Akavir" blades for its shape.

The whole thing is a topic about 15 years old!

P.S.

At the beginning of my blog story I made the forging of such a blade the topic.

I knew about Katana inspired blades, did not know of Oblivion since I have never played it.

My reference was not to the Blades with their Japanese styled armor, sword & shield, but the movie Blade the vampire hunter, with Wesley Snipes as Blade.

The trailer to the new release coming soon had the ebony blade in significance to the movie, looking for the lore there.

Vor 18 Minuten sagte Raven 54:

Ich wusste von von Katana inspirierten Klingen, wusste nichts von Vergessenheit, da ich es nie gespielt habe.

Mein Hinweis war nicht auf die Klingen mit ihrer japanischen Rüstung, Schwert und Schild, sondern dem Film Blade the Vampire Hunter, mit Wesley -Snipes als Klinge.

Der Trailer der neuen Veröffentlichung hatte bald die Ebony -Klinge für den Film an Bedeutung und suchte dort nach der Überlieferung.

 

Japanese swords - including "Katana" - have been part of pop culture in the "West" (North America, Europe, etc.) for at least 50 years

 

Even the "Highlander" (as a born Scot) preferred a Japanese sword instead of a "European knight's sword"

 

So if a pseudo-vampire hunter (and yes, I know ALL the parts!) carries such a curved blade... what does that have to do with the Daedric artifact from Skyrim?

At most, some external similarities... it's just supposed to look a bit exotic.

 

The most important thing is whether the blade (adapted from Doug Marcaida from "Forge in Fire") -> is deadly

Have you seen those warriors from Hammerfell?

Hammerfell?

Clearly the reference to the "Arabian world" ... with deserts and oriental scimitars.

 

What do these have in common with Japanese blades? -> the folding technique when forging and the "etching" (through the acid bath) to bring out the pattern (created by the different types of steel) ... aka "Damascus" steel

 

but the geometric shape of both types of blade is very different, apart from the curvature!

It's clear as day that you're German through and through. No sense of humour, unless its an engineering joke. So here's one for you:

 

A neutrino walks into a bar.

The barman asks: "Can I get you anything?

Reply: "Thank you, but I'm just passing through".

In the off chance that you really did not get the joke and not just trying to to be witty with needless explanation, that is a reference to a random dialogue from the game. Some people have taken this as an innuendo about Hammerfell natives, who are black, having such large penises or "swords" that they curve from their own mass.

Now if someone could just train an AI model of Peter Kay's voice saying this, in the style of "Garlic Bread?!"

If that ever happens I'm calling Butlerian Jihad on their asses.
