The field of blades seems to be the representation of Endless Struggle and Utter War. It's a desert with swords sticking in the ground by their blades. The battle seems eternal for whoever walks it. It's most likely a graveyard for warriors with swords standing in for proper headstones. If the swords are supposed to have fallen there, it'll generally be a case of The Blade Always Lands Pointy End In. This can also be the end result of someone causing a Storm of Blades. |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Mami Tomoe uses a musket as weapon, one of her attacks in nicknamed Unlimited Musket Works by the fans, guess what it does? Sayaka can also spawn small fields of swords so she can quickly pick them up and throw them, butHomura one ups◊ them both. Is it any surprise that part of the development team worked on Fate/Zero? |

Fire Emblem: The Game Over screen of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is a melancholic picture of a field of blades. (And axes...and lances...) Fire Emblem: Three Houses also does this for its own Game Over screen, with each of the four main characters' (Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude) weapon of choice being planted in the ground, and some non-descript weapon remains in the background. The opening of New Mystery of the Emblem shows a field of blades, one of which is the Falchion. |

The Dragons' Graveyard, in the Dungeons & Dragons (1983) episode of the same name, is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, an extradimensional dragon graveyard presided over by Tiamat. Apart from being full of creepy dragon skeletons, its most notable feature is being up to its armpits in abandoned magic weapons. | |

The grave of the Abysswalker Knight Artorias in Dark Souls. It's an open field of grass and flowers, the middle of which holds his very large greatsword, which is surrounded by many other swords and gravestones. It doesn't look guarded... at first. Also in Dark Souls III, where you fight the final boss. |

In Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, in the burial place of Kamina his sword is sticking out of the ground by the blade, his cape tied to its handle. In the Distant Finale, after the death in space of most of the Dai Gurren Brigade, several other swords stand alongside that one, as well as a sword needle standing for Nia. Reduced to two and Nia's sword needle at the end of Lagann-hen since most of the cast killed in the series were spared. |

As of the Dawn Solution, Solars in Exalted have an Unlimited Blade Works-style Charm: Thousand Arms Prana. This upgrade to Summoning the Loyal Steel allows the Solar to store as many weapons Elsewhere as he pleases, at a cost of one committed mote per (Essencex 2) weapons. Decommitting this cost causes all of the weapons to embed themselves in the scenery around the Exalt, intangible to anyone but him until he picks them up and starts using them. The full text of the Charm (as well as a link to the Ink Monkey article it originated from) can be found here. Third Edition will be introducing a Martial Arts style that a player could style like this trope called Thousand Blades Style. So far only one character in the lore has been said to use this style - the Lunar Elder known as Sublime Danger. Whether she has taught this style to others, or even if she is the progenitor of this style or not, has yet to be revealed. |

In Yggdra Union, units not killed in the initial charge drop their weapons when defeated, firmly planting them in the ground. Close battles can end up with two leaders duking it out on a field of blades made of the weapons their respective units used, which ends up moderately amusing when witches fight on a Field of Brooms. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, Thuldanin, the second layer of the plane of Acheron, combines this trope with Landfill Beyond the Stars. Its cube-shaped landmasses are covered in a veritable carpet of abandoned war material from countless worlds and eons of conflict - swords, spears, armor, shields, catapults, cannons, steam-powered siege engines, even flying machines, tanks and stranger things. Thuldanin has a "preservative" trait that eventually petrifies such equipment (and long-term visitors), but scavengers still brave the layer and sift through the heaps of weapons in search of intact items of incredible power they can either use or draw inspiration from. | |

In Samurai 7, during the first battle with the bandits, the experienced leader sticks numerous swords into the ground in case someone's happened to break, as he wants them to fight to the fullest. | |

In the Spheres of Power supplement for Pathfinder, creating a field of weapons called the Armory Arena is the gimmick of the Lingchi Warrior archetype of the Armorist. Anyone can use the weapons in the field, not just the Lingchi Warrior who created it, but everyone but the caster also takes damage from the weapons falling from the sky. As the Lingchi Warrior gains levels, they can create this field and draw weapons more and more quickly. | |

In the Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA Spin-Off, the alternate Shirou also has his own version of Unlimited Blade Works. His incantation is more similar to Archer's, but represents his determination to rescue his sister even if he needs to burn down the world to do it. Unlike the previous versions of Unlimited Blade Works that we've seen, his swordscape is covered in snow and has a night sky with a moon but no stars. | |

In Ninja Gaiden II's trailer, Ryu Hayabusa is found holding both one of the Falcon's Talons claw weapons and the Eclipse Scythe while walking through a field of blades. You actually get to fight in this field of blades, though no serious battles occur. After killing Genshin, the rival ninja gives Ryu his cursed sword: The Blade of the Archfiend. After the credits roll, Ryu is seen praying for Genshin's soul in front of this very blade, stuck into the ground alongside the other blades. He then turns and leaves it there, a memorial for his defeated rival. | |

Warhammer Online has an area in the Chaos Wastes that is a battlefield covered as far as the eye (or graphics card) can see with weapons, armour (usually staked into the ground on spears) and... this being Warhammer, after all, frozen corpses buried up to their waist. | |

A historical example, and possibly the Trope Maker: a shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was known for his skill with the katana. In 1565, when his small force was attacked by a large coalition Miyoshi force, Yoshiteru knew he was more or less screwed but was determined to go down fighting. Bringing out numerous katana (some sources say a dozen, others say around a score), he plunged them into the floorboards of his castle in preparation. He then killed numerous enemy troops, throwing aside priceless swords that broke down as their blades became notched and grabbing new ones from the floor. But with no help arriving in time from supporters, Yoshiteru and his few troops were overrun. This may have inspired Archer's Unlimited Blade Works, as his chant suspiciously sounds like one of Yoshiteru's piece of poetry. | |

A variation in Smile PreCure!. Reika/Cure Beauty is capable of freezing an entire area into ice, and some sharp ice blocks exist. These sharp ice blocks serve as her blades which she can pick up anytime and in case one breaks, she'll just pick up another. | |

In Planetary, the Big Bads have this trope in the form of an Alternate Universe. It's a featureless plane of floating weapons, but upon closer inspection the floor is made of the bones of the world's former inhabitants. (They killed an entire world just so they'd have somewhere to keep their swords). | |

One of the first pieces of promotional art released for Final Fantasy X (and the first thing you see in the story) was of the characters' weapons piled up on the ground near the Zanarkand Ruins. Unusually for the trope, they don't signify any past battle, but are merely laid aside as the characters rest for a while. | |

Kuromaru's Artifact in UQ Holder! directly references Ashikaga Yoshiteru (see Real Life section below), taking the form of dozens of Mikazuchi Munechika replicas embedded in the ground (though they're all clearly in sheaths to make it easier for him to pull them out). | |

The Edge of Madness stage invented for Dissidia Final Fantasy. The small stage you fight on is in the middle of a seemingly infinite blasted, war-torn plain filled with swords. Only these swords are easily several stories tall. And the Final Boss has a move where he gets big enough to wield them. | |

The Rurouni Kenshin manga spoofs this trope a bit. When a government official is targeted for assassination, he hires various swordsmen to protect him — but at the same time, he insults and belittles their skill and brags about how he stood against "the field of blades and the storm of arrows" during the Meiji Revolution. Just then, Kenshin walks in, politely remarking that he has not seen the official since Kenshin CARRIED him through "the field of blades and the storm of arrows," as the official was too busy cowering in fear at the time to lend a hand. This promptly shuts the official up. Played in a more serious manner whenever Kenshin's history as Battousai shows up: in the beginning of the manga, in the end of the Tsuiokuhen OVA, and in the upcoming live-action film, katanas are planted amidst the bodies of the fallen combatants. |
