| I haven't seen one anime that has that type of weapon. I don't know if there IS any anime that has it. If it does, can you please reply. It is my overall favourite weapon of all time. If there isn't an anime that has it, THEY NEED TO MAKE ONE! Every scythe in anime I've seen only has scythes with long blades, they are all single sided. |

| Soul Eater is the first one that comes to mind, though the scythe there is not always double-sided. |

| hisagi's (bleach) zanpakutou is a double-sided one |

| Can I have atleast a picture of the scythe? I might watch it once I see it. MIGHT. teh_C, I am not talking about that. I meant a single scythe with one blade a the tip of the handle and another blade at the other tip but in the opposite direction. Mod edit: Double post merged. |

| Scythes are powerful weapons. What makes a double-sided scythe more unique is that it is faster to attack with. To attack with the double-sided scythe, it requires two hands like a normal scythe, but instead of one slash, it requires alternating arms, that's why it attacks faster. It also has two blades, so double the chance of hitting and since the blades are the same weight, the scythe is basically balanced, while a normal scythe will fall to one side when you hold the middle. But I guess a double-sided scythe is a bit heavier. teh_C said: okay, seems there aren't any more in bleach... ._. Can you try to look in other animes too? |

It should come up different! |

| Pretty sure that trinity blood is the only one to feature such a scythe. Found several similar scythes in bleach. Goodluck finding more @.@ |
xRatatosk said: Just look for it yourself honestly. It's very uncommon. Especially since you're so picky. I tried looking up myself, I found nothing. So I am asking people if they have seen one. No, I am not picky, The scythes work differently and if the blades are connected, the scythe doesn't even look like a scythe! |

Because contrary to swords, double bladed scythe have no historical relevance, and would make for a very poor weapon if someone were to try using it? The only things close of scythes used in war were the war scythes. And even those were really tiring to use. Let's not talk about a double bladed one, which would to boot lose partially one of the only advantage of the war scythe, because you would need to hold it far closer of the blade for it to work like a bladed staff. |

TheCorruptedWolf said: Yes, so what if you have to hold it closer? It could attack faster and it is balanced. It could even probably block the one bladed scythe. It's too heavy. The main point of the war scythe is the lever principle, giving a lot of strength to the blade, allowing it to cut through armor better than a simple sword due to this. If you hold the weapon closer to the blade, you lose the only point of this weapon, to only leave bad things. If someone during the medieval period had tried to go to war with a double scythe, both his enemies and allies would have just laugh at him, and with good reason. It may look cool, sure. But that weapon is absurdly impracticable to use. Even the war scythe was a weapon only used by farmers and the like due to its downside. let's not talk about a double normal scythe. |

You are only talking and focusing on power, when it comes to speed, it isn't really a weapon that can beat it. In medieval, they mainly focus on defence and power, I mean, how often do you see someone without armour in the battlefield? Yes, I get it a normal scythe has it's own potentials, but can it really overpower the dual-bladed scythe? |

TheCorruptedWolf said: Why didn't anyone in japan thought of it? It could be an overpowered weapon! Its a very impractical weapon and is more restrictive compared to a regular scythe since it has blades at both sides. When TheCorruptedWolf said: Zefyris said: It's too heavy.

Realistically speaking this weapon would likely result in self injury.(People that actually used a scythe back in the day were the common folk most of the time) It having a blade on each side might balance the weapon out,but that wouldn't matter since the advantage of having a scythe is using it as leverage to inflict fatal injuries . One side being heavier then the other makes the hit have more force which is good for a scythe. if you want something that takes advantage of speed/mobility then a smaller weapon that doesn't make use of entire body to properly function. Fighting with a scythe would be similar to fighting with a halberd cause of its size The potentials of a dual bladed scythe are inferior to that of a regular scythe or alternative weapons that do utilise speed. |

TheCorruptedWolf said: chibishoujo said: You'd have the second blade in your back before you twist your wrist. Its a silly conceptual weapon. What do you mean? Could you re-word? I assume what they mean is that since with a scythe you'd be striking outward to some extent, the other side may end up stabbing you in the back. Take this image for example. If I imagine another blade on the other side of the scythe, it would, or be dangerously close to, hitting the guy. Also, it seems fairly pointless to have another blade there. The scythe is already a fairly hard to handle weapon. Adding another blade would just be too much trouble to try and figure out how to use, and there are plenty of other much more practical weapons out there. The only real reason for using it would be Rule of Cool. But I guess if you really care to find some examples, there's some on the TVtropes page. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SinisterScythe |

Yes, I get it a normal scythe has it's own potentials, but can it really overpower the dual-bladed scythe? a normal scythe doesn't have war potential. The war scythe have the direction of the blade changed by around 90° so that they can turn into properly usable hast weapons. the double scythe you're talking about doesn't even have that first step done. at least make it double war scythe, this would be less ridiculous, and closer to a blade staff with double blade. Also, fastest weapon? Even without accounting the fact that anyone would be tired of using such an heavy and bad balance (because yes, it's symmetrical, but the way the blade are put (not in the axe of the pole weapon) make it very unbalanced) that you wouldn't even finish your first fight, let alone last a whole battle by rotating this heavy weight around, how can this even hope to beat the speed of a Bô for example which will be used the exact same way but is far lighter ? And like I said, that thing is far too heavy to actually gain any decent speed. Any light weapon on the other side will kill the wielder of such a weapon before you can even start to properly attack. That, and what chibishoujo said. He explained the leverage (I thought it was lever principle in english, *sigh*) better than me. That's why you lose any interest of using a scythe if your two hands are closer of the heavy blade. a war scythe is a proper pole weapon (although rudimentary, and the fact that the blade is curved still give it a bad balance even after it has been redirected by 90°, so an halberd would give a better result for example), but a double scythe is no longer one. And yeah, that second curved blade in your back sounds dangerous. It would limit severely your movements in order to avoid injuring yourself when you swing it, making it even more tiring to manipulate than just the heavy weight alone. |
