I'll be honest, that doesn't look that much like the actual Kusanagi. I'd say they have the same basic shape, but the the handle's are different, and not just in color. I'll be honest, you bringing that up does seem a bit hypocritical. Didn't you say earlier that, and I quote, "All informations are correct, any information from mythology are not needed. Why? Because we are writing in articles only that, what was in game...". By that logic, the appearance of the mythological Kusanagi is just as irrelevant as the mythological Kusanagi being a renamed Murakumo, since it doesn't come up in the games.

The sword he was smelting was the Murakumo into the Super Murakumo/Kusanagi. The whole process was to smelt the Murakumo and it's wielder into Kusanagi to use against the Master Unit. I'll be honest, while I do recall him saying that he was smelting the sword, I don't recall him saying that he was smelting the sword inside her body. Maybe the sword was meant to be a shout out to the mythological Kusanagi? But it doesn't matter, as the sword in the game itself is unnamed and has no context given to it, aside from it being the sword Mu uses in her Astral. Assuming that it is the "true" Kusanagi, and that it, and not Mu/Kusanagi as a whole, was meant to be the sword used against the Master Unit is speculation, and not needed in an article trying to be factual.
