I'm more of a futbol and rugby man myself. *flies through the goal*
Rain: I understand. That actually doesn't sound too bad.
Example of cleverness which I suppose supports the overpoweredness:
The sword drains blood to power the regeneration; else, it takes him days, weeks,
longer to do it.
The sword is warded so people just can't break it and release the being inside.
The sword puppets the body weilding it like a marionette, so damaging the body doesn't really harm it (except causing him to use the fuel to regenerate, thus draining it and slowing the long-term process), to allow me to do creative things with regeneration.
I honestly to goodnessly tried to make it as down-to-earth as possible, to make it a flavorfull and interesting combatant for other warriors in general, while still being able to tangle with the big boys. I really did want to have that rematch with Ebag, since it could me a grudge match with a level of brutality unlike that which has never been seen. That's the level of awesome I was aiming for the whole time.
Forest for the trees, and whatnot.
