Your last dying moments, you have been run through with a sword and are bleeding to death fast. And then you notice that you are being sewn into a human scarf with other people wo are bleeding to death.

Now it makes sense. Still not pratical though.

The swords are pretty lame. Seems like the writers did not put that much thought into them. Samehada clearly is the best sword so far. And by far. I mean come on... A sword that can repair itself with human blood? How many shinobi have had problems with their weapons breaking apart in all of the manga so far? Lammmeee.

One of Killer Bee's swords was broken by Zabuza's sword as well. Naruto broke that super sword with a rasengan in one of the arcs. Kakashi's father's blade broke in the Kakashi Gaiden. Zabuza's sword broken by Killer Bee. Naruto broke a bunch of Tendo Pain's spear-like black rods that he seemed to grow from him body.

... This is all the ones I can remember so far -_-;

You guys have good memories. But what I meant was that weapons seem to be so easily replaceable that that sorta power enchanted into a sword seems pretty lame and useless. I don't recall one instance when a broken weapon was detrimental in an outcome of a battle. The swords definitely doesn't live up to their hype. I hope some of the swordsmen do at least.

Every sword is different ever so slightly, having a custom-made sword to your preferences would be a big plus in a battle. Now imagine that sword broke, you'd have to get a new one, and what do you do in the interim period? Sword-making takes a while, especially good ones. On top of that, though they are uber ninjas n shit, I can imagine that it's a hassle to get a replica of your original sword. This isn't Naruto: Blacksmith Chronicles. Although, it is pretty suspect that almost every uber weapon could be blocked with a simple kunai (except lightning charged ones lol).

EDIT: If the swords are easily replaceable then why is Suigetsu so intent on collecting all those old swords? I don't think it's some foolish pursuit.

the question isn't whether they're portrayed as important swords to the people in the manga, the question is whether the writers spent enough time thinking up ideas for swords that are important to the reader

Neither of those were questions that have been asked yet, but to answer that, no I don't think there has been enough hype about the 7 Swordsmen leading up to this or at all really, except for the Zabuza arc in the very beginning. I think they just brought it back so they can go into mad stories when the time comes, like flashbacks that we don't know about from the 7 Swordsmen' perspective, in order to increase the amount of chapters Naruto can shit out before it sputters out. Considering they have been throwing in deus ex machinae since the mangekyo sharingan, this is actually better than a new super jutsu or something. Still pretty shitty though, because I doubt any story they develop about these swordsmen will be boring.

I'm not a fan of those new swords, either. Samehada looks like the only one that's both awesome and practical in a real fight.

My issue is that Naruto has not dealt with the relative power levels that well. Zabuza was their first real opponent, and that was when Naruto was still a little puke, Sakura was scared as shit, Sasuke was just developing his Sharingan, and Kakashi, for all we knew, was a regular Jounin. Naruto's now like the second coming, Sakura is some medical prodigy who can also destroy mountains with her bare hands, and Kakashi can create a spacial rend with his eyes. How the hell do they still have trouble beating Zabuza?

Bleach explains it away with some stupid deus ex machina (Aizen says, "Haha, it was all according to my plan for you to gradually fight stronger opponents, Ichigo! I'm so clever!"). One Piece explains it with the geographical structure of the main characters' path (they need to go from island to island, and the weakest pirates get weeded out at each step, so each island will logically have stronger competition than the previous one). Naruto, I believe, has failed to do this so far.

Lots of small things such as the leaf's inexperience in fighting in the mist which Haku and Zabuza excel in. The fact that they just regenerate when hit. And how most of the ninjas seem to be inexperienced in battle.

Fortunately Kakashi is not just a regular Jounin. However their last fights was 1v1, both times. In this scenario, a lot of Kakashi's tools for beating Zabuza in the mist (sacrificing blood, using summonings, etc.) would not work this time because it's not 1v1. Kakashi is a baller and he went all out vs Zabuza. Hence Zabuza was and is a badass.

iirc, there was one anime filler that showed us one of the seven swordsmen, that used some kind of crowbar. he was always with a red eyed kid, who could sense chakra. i didn't see this guy there, so, does the manga completely ignores the anime? how will the anime make this work out?

EDIT: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Raiga_Kurosuki there, i remembered his name.
EDIT 2: well, it seems that the seven swordsmen were not seven, or there is something really messed up since we don't know when those revived lived. i just find it weird to see some other guy, not raiga, wielding the sword named "Fang".

I think in the manga they said that there were multiple generations of "Seven Swordsmen" and this was the strongest one that got resurrected. It makes sense to me that each swordsman had a disciple and then passed the sword on to them. He can be written off as a different generation.
