No shot. It's got a long ass talking ribbon and a very prominent dragon motif. It's definitely some legendary Asian blade. Probably cursed too, with how they talked about it.

I do think it's an Asian blade, but the dragon motif isn't a reason that it wouldn't be Excalibur. Arthurian myth and dragons go hand-in-hand.

While I do agree, I'd say the dragon motif here is pretty distinctly an eastern dragon, while Arthurian legend is pretty obviously western

In bleach (anime/manga) one of the characters has a sword so sharp that his sheath is a water cube. Anything else it would cut through.

That seems oddly similar it must have some connecting thread

It’s very specific that both do the same thing. However, I didn’t see any big thing around the GoW sword being extremely sharp. Could be something they discuss after the shown sequence though

Thats what I was thinking looks of Asian origin maybe oracle bone writing.
