A nodachi is longer than a katana, though that actually has not much relevance to this considering it has never been said that all 3 Kitetsu swords are exactly the same. In fact considering that the younger the generation, the lower the quality class it's placed in, it's more logical to assume they are not identical, thus don't look entirely the same and if you look at the size of Mihawk's sword which belongs in the highest class...What's the difference between the two?![]()
