This sword is a symbol of my dreams... and my honor. No... it's more than that...
Zack Fair
The Buster Sword (バスターソード, Basutāsōdo?) is a weapon that first appeared in Final Fantasy VII and has since appeared in several other games in the Final Fantasy series. It is Cloud Strife's trademark weapon, and was wielded before him by Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley. The Buster Sword serves as an iconic image for Cloud and Final Fantasy VII due to its massive size and is wielded by Cloud in most of his appearances.
Design
Cloud by Tetsuya Nomura.
The Buster Sword is classified as an enormous broadsword. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. In Cloud's Final Fantasy VII artwork, the blade is a lighter color on the bladed edge, while the rest of the blade is dark gray, and the handguard appears to be bolted or riveted into place. There are two holes near the handguard, variably said to be materia slots, or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back. In more detailed iterations, the handle is a reddish knurled material. This design is used in most spin-off appearances. In the Kingdom Hearts series, Cloud wields a Buster Sword of this design wrapped in bandages.
Concept art for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
In Compilation of Final Fantasy VII releases, namely Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, the Buster Sword has a more detailed design. The blade is more visually split into two segments, with a darker side that tapers into the edged side. The handguard in this iteration is colored gold and has ornate swirl designs, the part of the blade bearing the two holes is raised slightly and sectioned off from the rest of the blade, and there is detailed plating set on the blade on each side along the blunt edge. The handle appears to be made of red leather. In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, this design is used with additional gold coloring along the raised section around the slots. In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion, the Buster Sword design is reverted to how it appears in Final Fantasy VII Click to show Angeal Crisis Core Reunion model, likely for continuity with the Final Fantasy VII remake project.
In Final Fantasy VII Remake, the weapon's design is an amalgam of the original and the Compilation version. It features the dark end leading to the blade with a taper as seen in the Compilation, along with the more defined linked materia slots and plating. The blade is now visibly sharpened perpendicularly to the edge, rather than parallel. The gold tinted segments at each end of the handle have been made silver, the materia slots are slightly different and the lining around their raised area has been recolored to be uniform with the surrounding metal. The gold swirl designs adorning the width of the hilt have been removed, with a metal clasping taking their place, making it more faithful to the original design. The handle is wrapped in overlapping brown leather from the guard to the pommel. For the first time, the materia equipped onto the blade is visible.
The angle of the blade leading to the tip is approximately 137°.

In the final scene of the game, it is covered in grime, and the handle is worn where it is held.

The Buster Sword's appearance.
Sometime after Final Fantasy VII, Cloud places the Buster Sword on the cliff where Zack had his last stand as a memorial. The sword rusts and becomes covered in dirt. In place of the Buster Sword Cloud wields the Fusion Swords, which take on the silhouette of the Buster Sword when connected.
During the ending of Advent Children Complete, Cloud moves the polished Buster Sword to the Sector 5 slums church.
Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-
When the Player Turk is infiltrating Icicle base with Zack, the latter wields the Buster Sword.
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Use brings about wear, tear, and rust—and that's a real waste.
Angeal Hewley
The Buster Sword's origins are revealed with Angeal Hewley as its original owner, whose father had the blade forged when Angeal joined SOLDIER. His parents borrowed the money for the sword, and Angeal's father worked as much as he could to pay back the debt, eventually falling ill and passing away. Angeal cares for the sword in his father's memory, using it as little as possible to avoid it being damaged, instead fighting with a standard SOLDIER sword.
Angeal entrusts the Buster Sword to Zack as a symbol of passing on his honor and dreams. Zack uses the blade more frequently than Angeal, but swings to hit with the blunt edge. When Zack is gunned down outside Midgar, he passes on the Buster Sword to Cloud, naming him his living legacy and proof of his life.
When Zack has the Buster Sword on his back the blade's edge is facing down, while Cloud later on has the sword's blade facing out, possibly for quicker use of the blade itself.
It is possible to battle Minerva before having obtained the Buster Sword in the story, especially in New Game+. The Minerva battle starts off with a cutscene showing Zack with the Buster Sword even if it hasn't been obtained yet, and because the cutscene transfers directly into the battle, the Buster Sword remains on Zack for the battle.
Striking with the Buster Sword.
In the PlayStation Portable version, Zack's weapon is merely cosmetic. In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion, Zack gains a new battle stance with the Buster Sword, reminiscent of Cloud's Punisher Mode in Final Fantasy VII Remake, where he can expend AP to guard and counter-attack, and use strong attacks that hit harder and make him immune to interruption.

A wide sword as large as a full grown adult. Swinging it is a herculean task, but legend has it that a blond warrior with blue eyes from another world once wielded it with ease. It was a prized memento of the joys and sorrows he once shared with a certain friend. The buster sword doesn't have a scabbard, and its weight makes it particularly difficult to transport. It was therefore affixed with a magnetic component that allows it to be carried over the shoulder.

Behind the scenes
Early Buster Sword.
In the earliest concept sketches (see Gallery) Cloud's sword was smaller and thinner and had a single slot used to attach the weapon to a stud on Cloud's back. The handle had a hanging chain similar to Squall's Revolver in Final Fantasy VIII. A magnet on the suspender on Cloud's back was used to hold the sword in place. In The Reunion Files for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Tetsuya Nomura stated his original vision of the Buster Sword was unrefined steel, and he referred to it as "the Giant Kitchen Knife". Having stated that Cloud's imagery was based on the samurai martial artist luminary Musashi Miyamoto, the size and design of the Buster Sword are reminiscent of the oar carved suburito waster sword used by him in his duel against rival Sasaki Kojiro, and in contrast to their rival's weapons, as Musashi believed that swords like nodachi were unwieldly and left one open.
In an early version of Cloud's official poster (the finalized version of this image was used as the cover art for Final Fantasy VII in North America) that was used in Square's (now deleted) original Final Fantasy VII website, and also used as a promo shot for early magazine articles on Final Fantasy VII, a "beta" version of the Buster Sword can be seen. Here the Buster Sword has only one slot, the proportions are different, and the slot takes up a larger percentage of the sword's width, the sword's sharp edge is held to the opposite side, and in proportion to Cloud the early Buster Sword looks longer.
Cloud fights Kadaj with the Buster Sword in an Advent Children trailer.
In early footage of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, before the Fusion Swords were designed, Cloud was shown fighting Kadaj wielding the Buster Sword that had the swirl design on the handguard, but not the blade etchings. The fight is identical to a portion of their battle in the completed film, albeit slowed down considerably.
Other
A replica of the Buster Sword was made as a placeholder weapon for Tidus during the development of Final Fantasy X.[1] It can still be found in the game's internal files as dummied content, but can only be obtained by hacking. If hacked into the game, Tidus attacks with the sword's blunt edge.
Merchandise
Buster Sword wielded by Zack's Trading Arts figure.
The Buster Sword has appeared as Cloud's weapon in numerous merchandise of him. In 1997 the first Final Fantasy VII action figures manufactured by Bandai were released, and Cloud's figure comes with two weapons: the Buster Sword and the Hardedge. The Buster Sword in this set is uniformly gray, without the lighter colored edge as seen in the game. Cloud also wields the Buster Sword in all cold cast resin statues crafted by Kotobukiya.
Buster Sword has appeared in Final Fantasy Trading Arts figures with both Cloud and Zack. Cloud has the plain version while Zack's Buster Sword has cracks on the surface. The Zack figurine was released before Advent Children: Final Fantasy VII and Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, so the Buster Sword is still the original version without the more ornamental base. Cloud's Dissidia Final Fantasy Trading Arts figure also has the original Buster Sword, because that is the one he wields in that game.
Cloud's amiibo 
in his original outfit for Super Smash Bros. has the Buster Sword.
A limited edition PSP Slim was released along with Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- in Japan: the console bundled with the game, as well as a Buster Sword wrist strap. 77,777 units were available and all sold in one day. A similar bundle was also released in Europe, but lacked the Buster Sword wrist strap.
Final Fantasy Play Arts Action Figures
Cloud holding the Buster Sword.
In 2007 Square Enix released Final Fantasy VII Play Arts figures. Cloud's comes with the Buster Sword. Its design is that from the original artwork, rather than the updated design from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. The deluxe set that comes with Cloud and the Hardy-Daytona also includes the Buster Sword.
In 2009 Square Enix released Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Play Arts figures, Zack's figure including the Buster Sword. Unlike the Buster Sword in the Final Fantasy VII Play Arts figures released two years earlier, the Buster Sword Zack carries is the updated design from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.
Also in 2009 Square Enix released Cloud and Sephiroth as Kingdom Hearts Play Arts figures, Cloud's including a bandaged version of the Buster Sword.
Replicas
Full-scale model of the Buster Sword.
The chocolate parfait sold in Square Enix's Artnia cafe comes with a miniature replica of the Buster Sword. A full-scale model of the Buster Sword was built to commemorate the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete press screening party at the Sony Building in Tokyo. Another 1:1 scale replica was made and displayed at Tokyo Game Show 2019, this time based on the Final Fantasy VII Remake design. A sign displayed next to it measures its length at 185.5 centimeters (approx. 6.1 ft), while weighing about 7 kilograms (approx. 15.4 lbs). Similar builds were displayed at other events promoting the game.
A Buster Sword alarm clock 
was released as official merchandise for Final Fantasy VII Remake. It features the sword stuck on the ground, like the title screens of both original and remade Final Fantasy VII.
Based on various real-life solid metal replicas, even for an extremely strong person the Buster Sword is terribly balanced and egregiously difficult—if not impossible—to wield properly. A replica crafted with a solid steel blade weighs in at nearly 100 pounds.

Etymology
The word "buster" means a person who breaks up something, e.g. crime busters, or something big or unusual for its kind. It derives from the verb "bust".
The term "buster sword" may also be a corruption of the term "bastard sword", used to describe large two-handed swords in 17th century Europe. It may also be a reference to the supposed rain-making device "cloudbuster", created by Wilhelm Reich.
