We’ve all heard strange reincarnation stories in which the main character is reincarnated as a vending machine, slime, spiders, and what not, so how about a “sword” this time!! Yes, it’s another typical isekai story with a lot of basic setups, but it’s not just any ordinary sword; it’s a very intellectual sword that can do most of the things on its own, but it still requires some kind of wielder to look after it. So, who will be that person? Let’s find out.
Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita, called “Reincarnated as a Sword” in English, is a manga adaptation that was written by Yuu Tanaka and illustrated by Tomowo Maruyama. Last year, in the fall of 2022, its anime adaptation was released along with another season announcement, which was directed by Shinji Ishihira from the studio C2C, and since then, the manga has gained a lot of new readers.
The main character is, of course, the sword, who is named Master. He is the magical sword that was reincarnated from his original world after being hit by a distracted driver, and that is all we know about his previous life. Now he’s reborn in this new fantasy world, and we are going to focus on him being a sword in this life.
Then he began to explore and utilize what powers and abilities he possessed. He encountered a variety of enemies and developed skill and strength through time. In spite of the fact that he eventually started killing goblins and became even stronger, while all this was happening, he got stuck in the ground for a considerable amount of time. He was waiting for someone to rescue him while he waited there.
Here comes Fran, the other main character, a cat-girl who was a slave before obtaining the sword. She is the one who named the sword “Master” because she couldn’t find any better name. She and other slaves were about to be taken to this trading market, where she was likely going to be sold, but on their way, a two-headed bear attacked them, leading Fran to the sword, which helped her get her freedom back.
As a result of their assistance to one another, they became fast friends and decided to cooperate and embark on an adventure. Fran’s only goal right now is to grow stronger so she can evolve because she was a slave for a very long time. Also, cats are regarded to be the most fragile race, and no one has ever progressed from them, she wishes to depart from that race. With the help of her sword, she wanted to redeem herself.
Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita Chapter 64: Recap(Spoilers)
In this chapter, Rengil was a great help and offered Fran a bunch of suggestions; he even lent her a kitchen to use for preparing food for the stall contest. It seemed that the real estate department of the firm had a restaurant that went out of business. So he decided to let them rent it out for a cheap price.
Master can create high-spec clones with the five senses. He needs to taste it himself with his own taste buds, but as always, this skill isn’t mana efficient, so it’s hard to keep it up. Fran has not properly seen his human form when she’s awake, but she thinks he’s cool. Also, Master couldn’t believe he was called cool as a middle-aged man.
So they’re making curry bread and magical beast meat, but she needs to go to the Great Crystal Tree, which is located southeast of Barbra. There is a giant tree that is a thousand years old, and the area surrounding it is known as the Crystal Cage, a B-rank haunt and the habitat of monsters. Although it’s a dangerous area it’s the only way to get the beast’s meat.
It was also the Moon Banquet Festival Parade, and Fran went outside to have a look. There she ordered some seafood, but a crazy guy came running, spilling all her food. So she chased him down and smacked him, but Master suggested that he could compensate for the food instead of killing him.
The Barbra guards came to deal with that man. There’s recently been a spike in people spouting incoherent nonsense in the slums, but the guards said a drug as strange as this shouldn’t be this widely spread. Later, Fran left for the parade, where there were beautiful dancers dedicating the Goddess of the Silver Moon to purifying against evils.
