Naginatas
well, I have seen naginatas like that though, mostly in ether animes, blades like that were used in more of a punching fashion than a sliceing from what Ive seen. Also, for short staffs like that, zadaine's theaves blades from FFIX come to mind.

But thats beside the point now, Ive only seen a lesser resolution picture of his new form before. so I did not see the bow string. so that no longer matters. :P--CloudHiro 06:28, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm actually more curious about where it seems people have gotten the impression that naginatas are anything but a long staff with a single blade. Based on my personal experience as a naginata practitioner and my personal research, I have little evidence to the contrary. I would be most interested to look into any official sources that give an alternative definition. Are Zidane's thieves blades called, in the manual or in-game text, naginatas? Where in the in-game text if so? What are the names of the anime that you saw that in, and what episode? Was it the official subtitles? Sorry for all these questions, but this is one time where I would like to be rigorous in confirming sources. I know it's a lot of trouble, but if you could at least give me one or two of them, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you. Amakase 13:10, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
