    Have a katana that causes things to turn a warm orange-yellow in the visible spectrum. Anything the cutting edge touches changes colour, spreading outwards depending on the force with which it hits. Then, in the other hand have a second katana that can be used to open a gateway in space and time to summon an earlier copy of itself to the present, arriving in a random empty point in space a short distance away.

    Ability to turn into a different type of sword (okay, I'll hold my anti-katana bias for a bit).

    The anti-katana. When this blade touches a katana both annihilate in a burst of hard radiation.

    An invisible katana, for stealth kills.

    A katana of leverage. Essentially a katana enchanted to be a really good lever.

    The SUEtana. Whenever an overpowered NPC with levels in multiple overpowered classes and psychic abilities orders of magnitude stronger than the God-Emporer of Mankind walks into the room this late katana immediately flies to his hand.

    Kata-Nah - the ability to "nope" an opponent's ability.

    Ka-tanic - the ability to coat your weapon with a weak acid.

    Gun Kata-na - a martial art based on guns, but also you stab people.

    Not to be confused with the similarly named Katanic, which hits an iceberg on it's first swing.

    Missing the most obvious and classic one. A katana technique so advanced that it creates a vacuum by cutting the air. Perfect for sucking enemies into impetus attacks or reaching out and touching someone.
    Back in my day we used all of our spells before the fight, and it was just a matter of time before the DM realized his encounter was over.
    And we walked to our dungeons uphill through the snow, both ways.

    I had created the diamond golem with a diamond katana that ignored 2 points of AC from armor, shield and natural armor, and for every successful hit reduced one of those three armor bonus (at random) by 2, to show the katana cutting the armor.
    It also had the capacity to dispel a spell with a strike, and a rework of the vorpal ability.
    In memory of Evisceratus: he dreamed of a better world, but he lacked the class levels to make the dream come true.

    Ridiculous monsters you won't take seriously even as they disembowel you

    my take on the highly skilled professional: the specialized expert

    Well, katana slice things. You just have to get creative with what can be slided.

    Slicing time: bonus actions.
    Slicing the weave: dispel magic
    Slicing space: teleport gates
    Slicing causality: the game ends and you go home because you're tired.

    The memetana: Whenever you attack with this katana, you may attempt to sunder the opponents weapon or armor as a bonus action (since we know glorious Nippon Steel Folded over a thousand times can cut through anything!)

    Time-slicing: manifest schism.

    Time-slicing: manifest time hop.

    Time-slicing: automatically counterspell time stop.

    That only works on machine gun barrels. But on the plus side, it deals 1d20 damage.
