Fr katanas were horrible

this is true, but if used correctly, katanas can be more of a threat than other sword types like longswords, or claymores, etc.

My point is, compared to European blades like the Zweihander, a katana is basically a butterknife.

Well yes, but that's because the Zweihander was designed for combat against armored knights, whereas the katana was primarily designed and used for unarmored fights. It's really situational.

Of course, I mean, Europe was generally the eye of the storm in terms of wars.

Yeah, still is. So they would need weapons as such. Whereas Japan has had significantly more wars with other asian countries and civil wars. The Sengoku period was wild.

plus they have really good edge alignment

Mmm ima guess u don’t rly know much about alchemy or bladesmithing soooo

Elaborate.
I'm still convinced katanas are fragile.
