今回の魔物娘は禍々しい剣を持つ、「カースドソード」
This time's monster girl is “Cursed Sword”, who has a sinister sword.

この剣は、何代か前の魔王が作った恐ろしい魔剣であり、
The sword is a terrifying cursed sword that was made by a mamono lord generations ago.

彼女達はそれに魅入られ、魔物となってしまった元人間の女性達です。
They are former human women who were entranced by it and became monsters.

斬った人間を魔物へと変えるこの剣を装備した者は、
無差別に人を魔物化して回る、恐ろしい魔剣士になってしまうんだとか･･･
Those who equip these swords which convert humans cut into monsters become dreadful cursed swordsmen who go around indiscriminately monsterizing people, or something like that...

Summarized extra info from Kenkou's tweets

1. The sword is part of their body and can't be removed, but it can turn into a gauntlet form so it won't interfere during sex.

2. The sword cannot parasitically infest a man unless he has the qualities to become an alp. When a man uses the sword the desire to cut isn't as strong as in the case of a woman, but there is an additional function of searching for the woman the man is fond of and prioritizing cutting her.

3. A man can't fuse with it, so eventually maybe his wife or a potential wife will be drawn to the sword and pick it up.

4. There are Japanese-style cursed swords too. Kenkou may release them in the future as a subspecies.

Meh...

[KillMoves]

THE NIGHTMARE... WILL DEVOUR YOUR SEMEN SOUL!!

[Jinouga87]

Sweet it's the MGE version of Soul Edge.

[Creator_Drake]

KC's on a roll! First armor and now a weapon? What shall we see next?

[Phantom77]

*Claps*

Alright KC, I will admit it: That is SICK as hell. Can barely wait for the translation.

[Flare]

What next? Soul Caliber?

[Vendettadabeast]

Pretty cool and dangerous looking, it has its own attractiveness to it.

[L337 m4n]

Armor, Sword, . .. maybe Shield?

Still to see this. She looks like a yandere to boot.

[Blake81]

Man, seems KC is going full inventory; first armor, now sword. Wonder who'll be next; bow or shield?

Anyway, I see Yandere all over this one. And my inner sense tells me that she'll be born either from swords forged by evil blacksmiths, who instilled a killing intent on them as objects so much that it gave them a soul, or the sword of a warrior that has killed so many enemies that it got a taste for blood.

And somehow, I think she'll serve as a good ''Evil Counterpart/Nemesis'' of the Living Armor (who cares a lot about her wearer); she'll probably force her husband down a path of blood and carnage....

This one is hilarious. I wonder if living weapon is next?! Hahaha.

Man, someone hit bullseye there...

[Fur-man]

why not? we got armor and sword we mite as well it be a shame not

[Creator_Drake]

Then if a man were to have a harem of these 'cursed' items, would that mean you could call them an armoury? *get's sacked*

[Kaijin]

She looks like Nagi from Bloody Roar 4 with even less clothing and a Soul Edge knock-off attached by the heck of it...^^U

Lookswise she looks kind of badass-ish I suppose, but for some reason I can't find it as impressive and/or awe inspiring as most people around these corners consider her? it? to be...
But nevertheless I'll wait to the translated version before making a judgement about if she makes the cut or not.

Pun intended?

[Kaijin]

Pun intended?

Absolutely ^^
What can I say? You know that I'm a puntastic kind of guy.

[[BRindustries]]

Hmm, looks like someone's been watching too much Witchblade lately.
Can't say i'm too interested yet, will wait to see her profile...

But nevertheless I'll wait to the translated version before making a judgement about if she makes the cut or not.

Pun intended?

Heh, quite a sharp observation there. XD

It's because you have higher expectations than a lot of us has.

At least that's what it seems like to me.

I doubt it. Well, certainly she'll be the antithesis of the Living Armour in terms of personality, but blood and carnage?

Impossible, she is a mamono. She may look bloodthirsty and evil, but when it came down to it, she'd quaver at the thought of striking a man down.

Tell that to a hellhound or black harpy that has had their loved ones threatened. That they don't want to kill humans is far from being afraid of killing humans.

Not to mention this is an RPG style land. Swords are not nearly as lethal as they are in reality.

[Blake81]

Just saw the translated profile on Gelbooru and.... Bloody Hell! (Quite Literally).

She's basically the MGE's Yuno (Mirai Nikki); her Yandere-ness makes the Shirohebi and the Jorougumo look as docile as a Yeti, and she's got a ''slashy'' fetish (read: likes to slash EVERYTHING). However, it seems like she comes with a ''Husband-Only Demeanor Switch'' (sorta like the Jorou's day and night thing); once she find a man, she changes from Yandere to Yangire...

[Kaijin]

I can assure I don't have any expectation whatsoever, as a matter of fact I've mentioned like dozens of times in the past that for me that MGE is basically nothing more than artbook for me (since I consider the setting poorly written (and poorly executed on the entries that are decently written), full of plotholes, nonsensical retcons and Mary Sue tier characters...).

Buh oh well... What I don't like other people do... So yeah, to each their own.
______________

Anyway, it has already been translated on that other site... So go and check it out if you want.

My impressions about her? Unlike her defensive counterpart, they're actually pretty poor...

Design wise... It's supposed to look menacing, badass, intimidating... However I find her looks way too overloaded, gaudy and goofy looking, I guess she could be kind of "badass-ish"somehow... But I don't feel it.
Personality wise... She's pretty much a poorly ported Berserker class servant from the Fate universe with a on-off switch. If you're around her she's tame, if not she goes haywire... Pretty much like this lass over here.

Also it's kinda disappointing that despite being a "sword" her husband can't even wield it... What's the point of having a blade so powerful than even the Demon Lady herself fears (to some extent) and not being able to use it?
And yeah... I'm aware that she's meant to be a humanoid/sentinent weapon... But I've seen in other settings/media how a sword can be humanoid, fully sentinent and still act as both a doting "waifu" and be wielded as a weapon if needed.

Overall... For me... this girl can't hack it.
I find her pretty "meh" and I find more interesting the things the profile doesn't mention (like what would happen if the sword was found by a man instead of a woman) than anything mentioned on it.

That's EXACTLY the question everybody's asking; quite the Texas-sized loophole on this one. Hope KC's notes on this profile will clarify it.

And also....
