Pic related. He takes a SWORD possessed by a ghost, and turns it into... a fucking bug.
If his Charizard can have flames on its tail, why can't he use other magical elements? Why is an animal that is perpetually on fire somehow more realistic than a real ghost?
He could've had a spectral Roman centurion wielding a Honedge-like sword, or even turned the cloth part into a giant tapeworm that swings around old swords that it finds. That would've been a creative take on an inanimate object that could be a "realistic" creature, while still retaining the inanimate object side of things.
Instead he turns it into literally my mom's bug.
