Sometimes fanart can be truly weird.

I don't get it... why does every action movie with swords use katanas or daikatanas? Are they really that cool? Why not use a 13th century European sword? Long, maybe a bit heavy (guys, I've got news for you: today you still gotta have some muscle to be a soldier/fighter), but perfectly balanced and made of good materials. The combination of weight and lenght makes for a truly devastating weapon: even if it doesn't cut through armor it will simply break bones beneath it. Or a 16th century sword or (cutting) rapier. Not only made of superb materials (and to think Gerlach today makes knives and forks >_<) but also long, light and very fast. Also the Hungarian or Polish sabre would do. Very fast weapon with a "feather" at the end which gives the blade some momentum while cutting.

#2, What about Scimitars? They're small, deadly, and badass...

"Hungarian" sabre, later became the "national" Polish weapon: http://www.studiomanufaktura.com/zakupy/weg0.jpg Light, fast, deadly. Scimitars? Well... I always thought they are a bit tip-heavy. Maybe they aren't... This is what I got to use for some time: http://www.knifecenter.com/knifecen...ages/2047gt.jpg Viking sword, 9th century. Cool, if a bit on the heavy side. Of course, sword fighting requires lots of training, so my weapon of choice was this: http://www.warriorsandwonders.com/KWH52l.jpg One-handed Viking axe, again 9th century. The shaft was thinner and longer. This thing was so fast it was scary.

Kill Bill seems to be popular with more than one fanartist... http://photo.ricecop.com/pics/killbowser.jpg I actually like this one more than the Splat Fatcat one.
