Yamada! That's it!
Thanks.
Oh, I did a bit of research. Miroku-ken (as opposed to Miroku-kaiju, who is red, and Miroku-bouzu, who's from another series) is, as far as I can tell, an Oakeshott Type XVII - about sixty-odd inches, total, with a blade of maybe 45-50". His likely weight? Six pounds or so - call it three kg even. The best actual reference image I can find offhand is here - essentially, it's not that the sword is that huge, it's that Mikoto's that short.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
