Which weapons are the weebiest?

[Troglodyte]

If you had to go by which weapons are the most weeby/anime like which one would you say comes out on top?

[RotGoblin]

Dual Blades, followed by Longsword.

[icantsee]

Longsword

[Kelden]

Dual Blades and Longsword for sure, all the rest are kinda fine. Insect Glaive is also kinda weeby tbh.

[侍Kage]

longsword for samurai style
dual blade for ninja style

[ekodas]

switch axe and charge blade, sword go boom anime style

Surprised nobody is saying Greatsword. People like to talk a lot about the samurai stuff, but the classic bit of an anime protag with his sword twice his body size is not to be ignored.

Because in 'weeb' animes greatswords are usually swing like bloody daggers.

Katana wielding neckbeard in a fedora, so longsword.

Have you seen someone actually use a greatsword? Not an anime one but like, an actual Zweihander? It isn't any slower than a typical longsword, the issue is stopping and redirecting your swings. Also, the Mh GS is directly inspired by The Dragonslayer from Berserk, and Guts doesn't swing that thing any faster than a hunter.

Have you seen someone actually use a greatsword? Not an anime one but like, an actual Zweihander? It isn't any slower than a smaller sword, the issue is stopping and redirecting your swings (which is why techniques for such can look like "Flaily ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" to an outsider). Also, the Mh GS is directly inspired by The Dragonslayer from Berserk, and Guts doesn't swing that thing any faster than a hunter.

Everything always links back to Berserk.....

You asked, I answered.

Longsword and Duel Blades 100%. There's no contest.

Longsword has a ton of very anime-esque "sword draw" style attacks in it's kit. One of the counters is the whole "draw into a thousand cuts" style thing.

When you activate Demon-mode(?) for Duel Blades, you essentally turn into the anime ninja stereotype. The way you run, the way you hold the blades in reverse, the special attack that makes you cartwheel through the air....like 'nuff said I think.

Insect Glaive is pretty flashy too. But I'd say IG is more "martial-arts" or "wuxia" inspired VS "Anime" specifically.

I'd say the least weeb weapons would be lance and hunting horn.

Fighting with a music instrument sounds pretty weeb to me.
