true but only in part since:

1) if you see the cross-guard in the image I say you see that are present 2 cross like things at the sides, things that are not present in the anime version (infact from what I saw the cross-guard can be something similar to horns or similar to dragon wings)

2) if you look the beginning of the blade in the LN version have 2 semi-circular empty point but in the anime version that point don't have the same empty zone

3) at the beginning of the blade in the anime there's a symbol but in the image of the LN you don't see any symbol
