A beam katana was a lame imitation lightsaber weapon that was used by certain primitive societies that still thought motorcycles were awesome. Although a step up from bladed melee weapons, it couldn't stand up against real lightsabers in battle, and it also shorted out when it touched water... like in the rain, for example, or when somebody pulled the fire alarm and turned on the sprinkler system. The most crippling deficiency of the beam katana was that it required a Wiimote to operate.

| - Beam katanas are weapons that play a key role in the No More Heroes video game series. Beam katanas are science fiction versions of their namesake, the katana, which instead of a metal blade holds an energy blade with a length which varies between models. Beam katanas differ in power based upon the specific crystal parts used in construction. They also vary in degree of energy efficiency, which is largely based on whether or not a motherboard has been installed. Though they often behave like regular swords, beam katanas are able to penetrate and cut through most matter with little or no resistance (the receivers of models including the Blood Berry and first two Tsubaki prototypes culminate in a pointed spike, certainly making these inferior models no exception), and can deflect bullets and other non-explosive projectiles, as well as other beam katana blades. Some are also capable of launching energy projectiles. The common beam katana "blade" is made by a tight loop of highly focused energy which runs from an emitter in the hilt, along a retractable frame and into the receiver. Receiverless beam katanas become more common in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, suggesting that the technology was perfected within the three years following the first game. When activated the blade appears as a cylindrical bar, though sometimes it can be made into a specific shape. When deactivated, a beam katana appears as a metallic hilt, with or without an ignition button. They can be carried a number of ways, the most seen example being Touchdown's carrying of his beam katana at the waist. Beam katanas emit a distinctive hum when active. There are a number of other beam katana models that do not handle in the same manner as the common models do, however. One model made popular by Death Metal appears as a retractable cleaver with a beam emitted along the blade. Another beam katana, used by former professional wrestler Thunder Ryu activates the moment it is removed from its scabbard, by which it recharges, bearing no "off switch." This model is extremely difficult to use however, as it can be a challenge to safely reinsert the blade into its scabbard. Though it seems that a generic type of beam katana is available to the public, the variety of designs in models used by United Assassins Association members suggests that technicians such as Dr. Naomi and Wolf Vann manufacture customized blades for high spenders.

The blade was useless as an anti-armor weapon and the user ran the risk of being killed when fighting an Allied Dog or Soviet War Bear due to their ability to kill in one hit.
