[General] If someone is strong enough to wield an oversized sword, do they really need a weapon?

I recall watching a youtuber named Skallagrim who talks about weapons. I think in a video where he talked about Dark Souls or Berserk he said that if you're strong enough to properly use a sword like Dragonslayer you're better off ditching it and just tearing through enemies with your bare hands. Is this true? If so, what added use might there be in using a weapon anyway?

More reach, for one. Your hands can only reach as far as the ends of your arms, a giant sword can reach quite a bit farther than that. It's very useful to be able to hit people before they can hit you.

Also, giant swords are generally made of tougher material than hands are. Your sword isn't going to bet bruised or bloody, it's knuckles won't hurt from punching armor, it won't get burned if your enemy is on fire (or made of fire). It might get nicked or lose its edge, but this almost never happens with giant swords, and even then a few minutes with a whetstone and it'll be good as new.

Finally, giant swords can potentially hit multiple enemies at once. Tearing people apart with your hands is a one at a time kind of thing, and will take significantly longer to tear through a group of chaff.
