More like a nodachi or ōdachi With the handle of a smaller katana, making it unwieldy.
Barrett: Masamune is a name usually reserved in FF games for a character's "ultima weapon", Paying homage to either Masamune Okazaki(famous 14th-century swordsmith.) or Date Masamune ( feudal age daimyo, known for his kenjutsu.)
Edit: actually "zanbatou's" never even existed, there is no historical proof. ;|
