Dual Wielding characters use a weapon in each hand, which is cool. Do you know what's even cooler? Using a single weapon with two ends. It could be a stick with sword-blades on both ends, or maybe a double-bladednote Not to be confused with "double-edged", which is one blade with both edges being sharp — and may or may not overlap with "double-bladed" (two separate blades on the same weapon). sword with both blades coming out of the same end of the hilt (in the former case, the weapon is usually wielded like a bladed staff.) If a Double Weapon is light enough (or the wielder is strong enough), then it can be dual wielded for a total of four blades. Fighting using a Double Weapon often involves a lot of spinning attacks. In terms of Real Life effectiveness, these weapons could actually be quite effective in combat due to their inherent speed and versatility provided someone had the skill to use one. CARRYING a double bladed sword on the other hand would be a far more difficult affair (how do you sheathe it?), but few are the writers who let such details bother them. If you're really worried about it though, just invest in a Laser Blade. Not to be confused with Dual Wielding. If the Double Weapon can be split into two single-bladed weapons, it is also a Bifurcated Weapon. If it's a fusion of two quite different weapons, it's a Mix-and-Match Weapon. Tends to be impossibly cool. |

Tales Series: Tales of Symphonia: Yuan has an especially impractical double-ended greatsword when you fight him. Although to be entirely fair, he does have Super-Strength due to being one of the Four Seraphim, and if you look closely you'll see that each blade has an additional grip in the middle, making it wield more like a bladed staff than a sword. Tales of Graces: Hubert's dualblade is two swords, connected at the handle. He can separate them into two one-handed swords, as well as turn it into two pistols. |

Lyrical Nanoha: Fate has Bardiche's Riot Zanber form, which is a pair of energy sabers connected by an energy thread. That's right, Fate endorses sword-chucks. They can also be combined to form an even larger version of the weapon's Zanber form. The Zanber forms have energy blades, so Riot Zanber is basically a pair of lightsaber-chucks. Force introduces Riot Blade II◊, where Fate combines the two energy sabers to form a Darth Maul-like double-ended energy saber. |

Counter Monkey: "The Age of Manure" has Bennett the Sage visit with some documents from his friend's old Dungeons & Dragons games. One thing he shows off is some weapons the friend designed, which include the double club, the double spiked club, the double knife, and double serrated swordnote As Spoony points out, the double club is entirely superfluous since under 3rd Edition D&D rules, the quarterstaff can be used as a double weapon by default. They actually note that the guy went out of his way to try to make a double-version of almost any weapon, then try to think of the ones he missed (double crossbow, double flintlock...). | |

Warcraft: Illidan Stormrage uses two double ended weapons, basically double-bladed scimitars in either hand. In fact this is the weapon set most demon hunters use. They also bind a demon into their body that will try to take control of them. And they're all blind (although they do have a magical sight to compensate). It's mentioned that the fatality rate for demon hunters in training is very high, and no wonder. Pit Lords also favour double ended weapons. They usually wield two-handed warglaives that resemble shortened spears with a huge blade on each end. In both of the cases, the double bladed weapon could be considered to be symbolic. Demon hunter's power is very much a double-ended sword: they use demonic magic to become very effective at fighting demons, but must risk being consumed by the powers they sought to use. Pit Lords on the other hand don't care whose blood flows, as long as there is battle and somebody dies, be it them or their enemy. Troll Shadow Hunters also tend to use double swords because, uhm, Voodoo? Vol'jin especially makes a great use of one in Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde, parrying with one side of the sword and using the momentum to spin the other side past the enemy's defense The Frozen Throne expansion also gave us the Blood Elf "Spellbreakers", who carried a tower shield in one hand and a dual-bladed sword in the other. It looked kind of like someone took the blade out of a lawnmower and made it 6 feet long with a handle in the middle, then made it fancy in the elvish tradition. It was wielded the same way. Despite that being the only significant appearance of the unit, the weapons apparently were iconic enough that the tall shield and double-bladed sword would be utilized for the appearance of the generic city guards of the Blood Elves in World of Warcraft. |

Dungeons & Dragons introduces a whole class of weapons based on the concept in its third edition Player's Handbook, which gives the trope its name: The two-bladed sword, which draws direct inspiration from Darth Maul's lightsaber. If Neverwinter Nights is any indication, its combat advantage comes from how an opponent parrying one blade is bound to get slashed by the other. (Though the lack of reach means it would be inferior to Dual Wielding, and in some ways less effective than even a sword and shield, if it weren't for Exotic Weapon Supremacy.) The orc double axe, which has double-bitted axe-heads on both ends of the handle. The dire flail, which has flails on both ends and would look very silly if not for the company it keeps, and should be nearly impossible to use without hurting yourself. The dwarven urgrosh, with an axehead on one end and a spearhead on the other. The gnome hooked hammer, with a hammerhead on one end and a hook on the other. The Arms & Equipment Guide introduces the double scimitar, the double mace, and the gyrspike, a weapon with a sword on one end and a flail on the other. The humble quarterstaff, which was upgraded to a double weapon, and the double mace, which is basically just a quarterstaff whose ends are weighted a bit heavier. Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition: The concept is justified by saving money on enhancements. There's also the fact that most double weapons have a different type of damage: most single weapons will give, say, 1d8, while a double weapon would give 2d4. While it doesn't increase the maximum, it DOES increase the minimum; add the "brutal X" enchantment which means you reroll any damage die that lands lower than X, on a class that gives multiple-weapon-damage-roll attacks, and you suddenly have a very high minimum damage range. Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: The Polearm Master feat lets you use the butt of a polearm (halberd, spear, etc.) to make another attack once per turn, though it only deals 1d4+strength damage. This is still quite advantageous since a halberd or pike deals 1d10+strength (better than any one-handed weapon), and you only need one feat to pull it off, whereas Dual Wielding needs both a feat and a fighting style to get its full potential. And with the polearm you only needed on magic weapon rather than two. Eberron: The double-scimitar is the trademark weapon of the Valenar Elves. Pointing out the impracticality of it will no doubt result in a first-hand demonstration of what the weapon is capable of, with you as the target. |

Dynasty Warriors: Wei Yan uses a doubled-headed voulge. Dynasty Warriors 5 (and, as a result, the Warriors Orochi series): Cao Pi also wields a double-ended sword, which literally looks like two conventional, western broadswords attached end-to-end. During some attacks, he'll also split them up Dual Wielding combos. Sadly, he got downgraded to a boring ol' sword in 6, while his wife switched from an elegant flute to a whip. However, he gains his double sword back in 8. Dynasty Warriors 6: Lu Bu dual-wields a double-ended naginata, sometimes singularly, sometimes combining them into a Swastika of Doom. It's later on used by his daughter Lu Lingqi after Lu Bu gets his halberd back. |

Errant Story: Lampshaded, mocked, and still used straight. The leader of the local time-ninja-guild wields a double-ended energy-crystal blade to lethal effect, and the party's recently-recruited time-ninja does the same... however, while dueling her, Sarine takes the time to point out just how impractical a weapon it is, combining the worst traits of sword and spear in one crappy package, and revealing that it was originally created as a show-weapon for fake duels and parades only. She also proves the truth in her statement, but despite all this, Sara continues to kick ass with her double-bladed energy-crystal-stick, against basically anyone who isn't an immortal Action Girl. Mind you, Sara uses time magic to move so fast she can dodge bullets. She'd probably do just as well even if she was armed with a cardboard tube. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is fairly fond of this, beginning with the Freedom and Justice Gundams' beam sabers and continuing in Gundam SEED Destiny and Gundam SEED Astray. They even have a proper name for it: Ambidextrous Halberd Mode. The Sword Impulse Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny takes it up level with its anti-ship swords (BFSes with a beam running the length somewhat like a giant cheese slicer), which can be docked to form a truly massive double-ender, which the Impulse swings around with incredible ease. | |

Kamen Rider Kuuga's Rising forms upgrade his weapons; Rising Dragon form upgrades that form's Martial Arts Staff to a double bladed spear. Kamen Rider Agito's Burning Form has the Shining Calibur, a double sword which he splits into two separate swords with his next upgrade. Kamen Rider Gaim can combine his two swords end-to-end.

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ: The Dreissen has a beam lancer, which is made by combining its tomahawk and saber weapons, letting it use either as the polearm version (or both blades at once). Mobile Suit Victory Gundam: The Abigor, a one-off Zanscare design, wields a pair of beam scythes that can be combined at the butt end. Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Altron's twin beam trident; notably, in the TV series Wu Fei tends to wield it like a standard spear (only using one end) while in Endless Waltz he takes advantage of both ends. The Master Grade model kit of Sandrock has the unique gimmick of being able to combine its heat shotels, which is exceptionally ludicrous since they're each as tall as Sandrock itself. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is fairly fond of this, beginning with the Freedom and Justice Gundams' beam sabers and continuing in Gundam SEED Destiny and Gundam SEED Astray. They even have a proper name for it: Ambidextrous Halberd Mode. The Sword Impulse Gundam from Gundam SEED Destiny takes it up level with its anti-ship swords (BFSes with a beam running the length somewhat like a giant cheese slicer), which can be docked to form a truly massive double-ender, which the Impulse swings around with incredible ease. Mobile Suit Gundam 00: The 00 Gundam can dock its GN Sword IIs into a single long lance; on at least one occasion, Setsuna throws it like a giant discus. This trope is prominent enough in the Gundam franchise that the game Gundam Breaker 2 included Twin Blades as an entire class of usable melee weapons, featuring many of the examples listed above. Their advantages are that they hit multiple times very quickly and can Spin to Deflect Stuff. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Ashera, the leader of Colony 11, uses an appropriately named "Twinsaber" - a double-ended sword. She in an evasion tank character with a strond damage potential, referencing both the deftness, necessary to wield it, and the obvious aggressive nature of such a weapon. The main party can use it through the game's Job System. | |

Also from the arsenal of the Shaolin Monks are the "twin hook" swords, made famous by Spike's Deadliest Warrior (where they scored more kills for the monk than a Maori warrior's entire arsenal put together'). Aside from the handle, every inch of these weapons is designed to be lethal, and it can even be taken to the logical extreme of the trope: by locking the hooks at the end of two swords together, they become a single weapon capable of delivering death at a bigger distance than most polearms. | |

Code Geass: Suzaku's Knightmare Frame, the Lancelot double-wields two swords. The mass-production version, the Vincent, not only dual-wields, but the swords combine into a two-way lance. The Ace Custom KMF Tristan piloted by Gino Weinberg uses a foldable end-to-end weapons that look like either a two-way scythe... or anchors... The Lancelot Club, an original mecha from Visual Novel Lost Colors that acts as the missing link between the Lancelot and Vincent, has the same lance-type swords. |

Going even farther back, the Greek Hoplite's spears had a big, foot-long bronze spearhead on one end, and a pointy bottom for dispatching wounded enemies as you walked over them, or incase the spearhead broke off, so you'd still have something to shank people with. Hebrew spears in The Bible seem to have had a similar concept. At least at one time King Saul is recorded as planting his spear in the ground like a tent peg. And Saul's warleader Abner is recorded as slaying a pursuing enemy by turning around quickly and impaling him through the abdomen with the butt end. Possibly these were imports or copies of Philistine manufacture, Philistines being suspected by archeologists to have been cousins of Greeks. | |

Final Fantasy has a few examples of these, most of which double as Bifurcated Weapons. Final Fantasy IX: Zidane can go from single daggers to double-ended swords (referred to in-game as "thief swords"). In Dissidia Final Fantasy, this becomes a Bifurcated Weapon, with two Mage Mashers combining into The Ogre and separating again as needed. Final Fantasy XII: Judge Magister Gabranth wields a dual-bladed weapon that he can pull apart into its component blades - the larger Chaos Blade, and the smaller Highway Star. Most of the time, though, he joins them at the hilt into a lance-type weapon. Final Fantasy XIII: Odin carries the Gagnrad, a pair of curved blades emerging in opposite directions from the same handle; they're almost as tall as he is when combined. Lightning uses it during Gestalt Mode, and for her HP attacks in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Lightning Returns gives her a whole weapon type of the same function, universally dealing half-damage per hit but landing twice as many hits in a given amount of time. The Final Boss, Bhunivelze, also uses a massive double-bladed scythe-looking thing formed from the gods Pulse and Lindzei. Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail: The Viper job uses a pair of swords that can be linked together into a double-sword configuration for increased damage. |

Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, the movie adaptations of Otowa Hyoko and Yatsume Mumyoi have such weapons: the former has traded the hidden weapon usage for a pair of double-bladed curved scimitars he uses in an extremely unpredictable and frenetic fighting style, sometimes to attack even with his back turned at the enemy. Mumyoi, aside from his Wolverine Claws, has a curious polearm with a large set of claws on one hand and a smaller scythe blade on the other end, though he mostly uses the former. | |

The two-bladed sword, which draws direct inspiration from Darth Maul's lightsaber. If Neverwinter Nights is any indication, its combat advantage comes from how an opponent parrying one blade is bound to get slashed by the other. (Though the lack of reach means it would be inferior to Dual Wielding, and in some ways less effective than even a sword and shield, if it weren't for Exotic Weapon Supremacy.) | |

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition: The concept is justified by saving money on enhancements. There's also the fact that most double weapons have a different type of damage: most single weapons will give, say, 1d8, while a double weapon would give 2d4. While it doesn't increase the maximum, it DOES increase the minimum; add the "brutal X" enchantment which means you reroll any damage die that lands lower than X, on a class that gives multiple-weapon-damage-roll attacks, and you suddenly have a very high minimum damage range. | |

The Tau Ethereal Aun'shi uses an Honour Blade that is a staff with long sword-like blades at either end. The Kroot Rifle has blades incorporated into the barrel and stock in imitation of the traditional fighting staffs used by ancient Kroot warriors. The voidblades wielded by Necron nobles and the elite Triarch Praetorians consist of a pair of wide blades set either side of the weapon's hilt that can destabilize the molecular bonds of any material they cut through. Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Some Blood Warriors of the Bloodbound Warhordes wield a Goreglaive, a brutal polearm with a large and heavy axe blade at each end that is extremely effective at cleaving through armour. Warhammer Fantasy Battle: Champions of Nurgle often use a staff with a sword on one end and a flail on the other. Asrai Spears are a type of polearm used by Eternal Guard and Wardancers, with leaf-shaped blades at both ends meant to be used with graceful spinning blows. |

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: The Polearm Master feat lets you use the butt of a polearm (halberd, spear, etc.) to make another attack once per turn, though it only deals 1d4+strength damage. This is still quite advantageous since a halberd or pike deals 1d10+strength (better than any one-handed weapon), and you only need one feat to pull it off, whereas Dual Wielding needs both a feat and a fighting style to get its full potential. And with the polearm you only needed on magic weapon rather than two. | |

Soul Series: Cervantes' secondary weapon is a short sword with a pistol built into its hilt. Soulcalibur VI: Grøh uses two swords that fuse at the hilt, allowing him to fight with the weapon as a single, two-bladed weapon or split for Dual Wielding. His gameplay makes use of this as a Stance System. |

GURPS: Martial Arts managed to dredge up an obscure example of these. The Qian Kun Ri Yue Dao features a sickle blade at each end and hand guards that have another blade attached to each. A double, double weapon that's almost comically dangerous to the wielder. While the text translates it as "Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon Sword", it actually uses the Staff skill, but since it's such a complex weapon, it comes with a -1 modifier. | |

The double-bladed light saber was first seen in the Legends comic Tales of the Jedi, used by the Fallen Hero Exar Kun, apparently based on ancient sith designs (though the sith hadn't developed lightsabers yet at that point in time...). It also has a unique variation in that, while most double-bladed lightsabers has a longer shaft for greater ease of handling (but opening it up to being severed by a precise strike), Kun's saber was the length of a normal lightsaber, simply having an emitter at both ends. This, combined with the fact that it was the first double-bladed saber in recorded history, allowed him a great element of surprise in his duel with his old master, which ultimately won him the duel. | |

He can split the weapon at will, however, if he wants to Dual Wield the blades as separate swords.

Final Fantasy XIII: Odin carries the Gagnrad, a pair of curved blades emerging in opposite directions from the same handle; they're almost as tall as he is when combined. Lightning uses it during Gestalt Mode, and for her HP attacks in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Lightning Returns gives her a whole weapon type of the same function, universally dealing half-damage per hit but landing twice as many hits in a given amount of time. The Final Boss, Bhunivelze, also uses a massive double-bladed scythe-looking thing formed from the gods Pulse and Lindzei. | |

Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: The young Bane's lightsaber instructor teaches him that exotic lighsaber types like the double saber are in most cases inferior to an ordinary single-bladed version... except that your opponent will probably be used to fighting against opponents with an ordinary saber and will be thrown by unusual types. A double-bladed saber doesn't actually give you more options in a fight, but your opponent will think that it does, which is just as good. | |
