In Japanese culture spears (yari), bows (yumi) and axes (well, glaives called naginata) were always seen as mere weapons of war, while the sword (katana or tachi) was the samurai's symbol of status as well as a literal part of their soul. Despite swords being mere backup weapons they were given spiritual and cultural significance, being passed down through generations and used for things like duels, executions and rituals more often than war. They also feature in legends more often than any other type of weapon. That is why in manga and anime swords are portrayed more prominently than other tools of war like spears, bows and glaives (naginata).

Spear and axe wielders always get the shaft when it comes to screentime, despite being objectively cooler. Makes me wonder if they've seen GATE or Record of Grancrest War.

Cute twintail girls with large double-headed battle axes... we may need to revisit this one. Anna has good taste.

Common HIMmel W this episode; Where to even begin? Imagine summoning the image of someone's loved one, whose explicit purpose is to help you kill them, but the person you summoned is such a legend that the lure you're hiding behind just says "shoot me lmao". Seriously built different.
