A character falls in battle, and is buried by their comrades (or their enemies, if those enemies consider them worthy). But for whatever reason, the grave isn't marked with a traditional tombstone, but rather with the slain character's weapon. Maybe circumstances didn't allow a regular marker, maybe it's just traditional (for the slain or the ones burying them), or maybe someone thought it would just be a poignant gesture. Can be done with any type of weapon, although something with a blade will obviously be easier to stick into the ground. A sword, on top of being the standard heroic weapon, has the bonus of looking like a cross when planted this way. Regardless, this is almost always done in a way that the weapon is oriented vertically, rather than just laying on top of the grave. Frequently combined with Headgear Headstone, with the warrior's helmet (or other headgear) being placed atop the weapon. This has been done sometimes in Real Life, with the most iconic modern example being a rifle with the boots placed near it and the helmet on top, but usually only as a temporary measure to serve as a grave marker for soldiers that were killed in the field and had to be buried close to the front lines; permanent headstones were brought in later, or the bodies moved, so the weapons wouldn't be wasted. Fictional characters often seem less concerned about losing weapons to permanent graves, for one reason or another. Weapon Tombstones are often removed by the fallen's descendants or successors for actual use at a later date, especially if they're Ancestral Weapons or are otherwise unique. An entire graveyard of these is often a Field of Blades. See also Sword Plant. Not to be confused with a tombstone used AS a weapon, or the pump-action shotgun from the earlier Saints Row games. As this is a Death Trope, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. Examples |

Kamina's katana is planted above his grave in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. His Badass Cape is tied around the hilt for good measure. More swords are planted alongside Kamina's in the series finale for the members of Team Dai-Gurren who had died by that point, along with Nia's Wedding Ring. In Lagann-Hen's ending however, only three swords are present: Kamina's, as indicated above; another sword for Kittan, and a small cross-shaped white sword embedded in a headstone for Nia (As Simon has her wedding ring in place of the Core drill that he gave to Gimmy.) The deaths of the other Dai-Gurren team members were cut from the film. |

The end of TOME includes a small shot of Kirbopher's gravestone, marked with his sword and hat, despite Christopher being alive by the end of the story. Perhaps it's meant to say that the persona itself is dead, either due to Kajet's attacks corrupting the game model, or because his secret identity had been revealed. | |

Near the end of Grandia II Mareg's grave is marked by one of his battle axes. Oddly enough Mareg's body isn't under the weapon and it wasn't the weapon he was using at the time. Which is understandable since Mareg died holding off a horde of monsters on the moon so the rest of the heroes could escape, leaving no opportunity to retrieve either his body or his most recent axe. | |

The eponymous warriors in Claymore have a tradition of using the swords of their fallen comrades for this. Any large burial ground will thus naturally be a Field of Blades. Undine uses a fallen friend's sword as her main hand weapon with her own in the other hand. She gets called out for not adhering to this trope during the last battle of the anime. Her response? "The dead don't need 'em!" The seven Claymore warriors who survived the War in the North but faked their death kept their swords. The absence of the weapons among the 17 swords of those actually dead clues in other characters that they're still alive. |

When Milton Caniff, creator of Steve Canyon, died, the last Steve Canyon strip to run was a tribute including a panel by Bill Mauldin. This showed Mauldin's World War II soldier Willie sticking a rifle-sized pen into the ground while Steve, in flight suit, set a pilot's helmet atop the pen. (The rest of the tribute was the signatures of twenty or thirty other cartoonists.) | |

Highlander: In Highlander, Heather's grave was marked by her husband's claymore. Slightly unusual (though no less effective) for the trope, as she wasn't a warrior herself. This may have symbolized that "Connor MacCleod" died there too, as he casts off his previous life with her. In Highlander: Endgame, Duncan leaves Connor’s sword on his grave. |

In Evensong, in the Village Tales series, the burial of a pagan Anglo-Saxon war-band is discovered with their weapons and a few other grave goods, near the site of a Romano-British villa. (The valknuts on the swords identify them as pagan Anglo-Saxons.) As the Duke points out to the archaeological team, the raiders clearly felt they'd gained honor in the fight, wherefore the form of the burial, and leaving behind serviceable weapons; but recognized doubts they could hold the field … and scattered. | |

An episode early in the first season of Steven Universe goes through a Field of Blades that was a battefield in an Great Offscreen War. Near the end of the season, the Crystal Gems return and it's clarified that each weapon is from a Gem that died in battle. Because the situation was getting rather drastic, they resorted taking some of the weapons from the field. | |

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Cloud uses his Buster Sword, which had previously belonged to Zack, as Zack's tombstone, or at least to mark the spot where he died protecting Cloud outside Midgar, and it is now covered in dirt and rust over the ages. In AC Complete, he has a change of heart, cleans the sword, and hangs it in the remains of the Sector 5 slums church, where he (and Zack) met Aerith. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders has one of the main villains, the blind N'Doul, fatally wounding himself using his Stand to prevent himself from spilling any information after being confronted by Jotaro, and talks to Jotaro without an ounce of fear of his oncoming death just before he dies. Afterward, Jotaro respectfully buries N'Doul's body in the desert and marks the spot using his walking cane. | |

Mulan: When the general—who also happens to be Shang's father—dies, Chien-po, who found the body, brings back the general's helmet. Having no time for a burial, he erects a memorial by driving his sword into the ground and placing his father's helmet on it. Mulan also places an abandoned doll she found in the village's ruins next to the sword. | |

One Piece: After the Marinford battle the graves of Ace and Whitebeard were marked with their personal effects, including Ace's dagger and hat and Whitebeard's trademark flag, Badass Longcoat, and bisento. A number of other swords were planted in the ground surrounding the graves, too. In the twelfth movie, Z falls in battle after a Bolivian Army Ending, and his grave is marked by the gigantic prosthetic arm he used as a weapon. In the Ringo region of Wano, people are traditionally gifted a katana upon birth, and it's used to mark their graves when they die. Kawamatsu removed them from their graves and gathered them up to serve as an armory for the rebellion against Kaido. Prior to this, grave robbers had been constantly trying to steal the valuable swords. |

At the end of the Warhammer 40,000 short story "Blueblood", Volpone trooper Culcis makes a memorial marker for the Kauth Longstriders, a feral-world company who the Volpone had feuded with, but ultimately fought alongside to stop a Chaos cult, with the Kauth being wiped out in the process. He uses his own hellgun for the marker, but adorns it with the Kauth's battle standard, which he retrieved from the battlefield. | |

In Kingdom of Paradise, Lu Yan and Li Yin were sacrificed to the Toshentetsu inside the "throne room" of Genshin Island. Their bodies were sacrificed to break the Toshintetsu while their souls were being held by the said machine to hold back Banko. After the final battle with Banko, Shinbu and Hohaku take their New Moon and Crescent Moon swords, and start to make music in front of the Toshintetsu, freeing all the trapped souls. After they pay their respects, they both leave the swords resting on the throne. What makes this even more poignant is that the two swords actually belonged to the Celestial Twins. | |
