It's well known that when it comes to fictional fight scenes, what looks exciting and cool is far more important than what would be effective in real life. That's where Weapon Twirling comes in because spinning is spectacular. It's visually interesting and looks like it may be difficult to pull off, and is thus cool. It's also used when a character would otherwise be standing idly since someone just standing around with a weapon isn't as interesting as that person doing fancy tricks with that weapon. In certain cases, some weapons have large rings or straps at the end of their handles, allowing the ability to spin or twirl their weapon much easier. The former is more common in short-bladed weapons such as knives or daggers (kunai and karambits are good examples) and for the latter it's more commonly seen with blunt weaponry (namely batons.)*In fact it's common to see straps on Lawman Batons used by Old Fashioned Coppers and then used as they twirl them around while patrolling, whistling a tune may or may not be required. In some instances, spinning weapons are used to block projectiles, attack enemies, or create wind attacks. If the weapon twirling is being used show off before an attack, probably with the intent to intimidate, it's also Intimidation Demonstration. Can also overlap with Unorthodox Sheathing. Supertrope of Gun Twirling. Subtrope of Spectacular Spinning. Sister Trope to Fanning the Knives |

Twilight Princess: Link twirls the Master Sword before sheathing it after every boss battle. Lampshaded in one fight when he does his victory sheathe, but then notices that the boss is still barely alive; after finishing it off he quickly returns the sword to its scabbard without showing off. note Humorously enough, said victory sheathe was entirely unnecessary considering the sword hadn't even been used during said fight. Link also twirls his sword while L-Targeting as an Idle Animation. | |

Fire Emblem: Units in the games will often do this before scoring a Critical Hit. Fire Emblem: Awakening: Chrom does this after felling an enemy. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Claude will do this with his arrows in his idle animation if equipped with a bow.

CSI: NY: In "Corporate Warriors," Mac twirls the katana he's testing while Lindsay observes. He did not do so with the other martial arts weapons he tested just before this, so possibly a case of stretching, a la the LoTR example above / Real Life section below. In "Redemptio," Sheldon is caught up in a prison riot. Upon being introduced as a fellow inmate by one of them to a group of others holding the warden hostage, he is handed a billy club and is told to use it on the warden as revenge. He hesitates, then twirls it much the same as a sword fighter would do. Just as he starts to swing it for real, the first inmate stops him and convinces the group that they don't need to harm the warden any further, but to use him as leverage. |

Highlander used this all the time, both in the movies and the TV series. Both heroes and villains routinely twirled their swords, apparently to keep the weapon moving and keep the enemy guessing as to what was just a twirl and what was the start of a real attack. | |

Dark Forces Saga: The later games include some twirling of lightsabers. In Jedi Outcast it's mostly just the animations for activating or deactivating a lightsaber while standing still,note as well as an Easter Egg "taunt" function where your character lifts his current weapon above his hand with the Force, spins it around, then lowers it again; active lightsaber blade passing harmlessly through his head during this optional but Jedi Academy incorporates a lot of spinning and twirling into the fighting styles for dual or double-bladed sabers. | |

Soul Eater: Every single Meister in this series seems to love doing this. It may or may not aid with Soul Resonance or not, but it sure looks cool and eats up a few seconds of screen time. As Maka actually incorporates lots of this into her combat style, she is in fact sent into a brief Heroic BSOD when the Book of Eibon tries to use this to claim that if she (seemingly) cannot pull off the same moves with a regular broom, she is too weak to do anything but rely on Soul Eater. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The one class in D&D 3.5 for whom the weapon twirling has an in-game effect is the Warblade. Warblades recover their spent maneuvers by spending a swift action and making an attack or full-attack action — or, if no opponent is within range, doing a weapon flourish. Otherwise, it can certainly be used as part of the perform [weapon drill] skill or during an intimidation attempt. |

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order: Pressing left on the D-Pad will activate Cal's lightsaber, but not before the handle does a few twirls in the palm of his hand. In this same fashion, when he exits combat and deactivates his lightsaber, Cal will occasionally twirl the handle rapidly before clipping it to his belt. There's no purpose to this, other than to look like a complete badass. | |

Riddick does some fancy knife-twirling in The Chronicles of Riddick. Possibly a subversion of the usual usage of weapon twirling in fiction. Riddick picks up an unfamiliar knife, and proceeds to perform a complex twirl of the weapon while apparently studying it intently, then comments on what's wrong with the balance. The implication is he twirled it only to do a thorough check of the balance. | |

The Disney comic "La cappa e la spada" has Goofy write a novel where one of the characters used to be a knight who loved to show off by twirling his swords (even lampshading that it's much more impressive than doing it with revolvers.) He stopped using physical weapons altogether after one stabbed his foot while in mid-twirl. | |

Game of Thrones: Played straight for the usual badass versions, but Sandor Clegane scoffs at Arya Stark's twirl-heavy waterdancing technique, saying that it's a recipe for getting herself killed. He then proceeds to demonstrate how. Arya also twirls her Valyrian steel dagger whenever she hands it to someone to be admired. Ser Arthur Dayne, one of the leading members of the former Targaryen Kingsguard, was such a proficient Master Swordsman that he dual wielded two swords that he often twirled in his hands to scare off opponents. |

Tombstone has one of the best yet subtle ones of all time: Doc Holiday is pointing twin pistols at one of his enemies. Mind you, he is utterly shitfaced levels of drunk and this happens: There was an even better scene earlier when the best gunfighter of the villain's gang, Johnny Ringo, decides to show off with some fancy, quick pistol twirling to antagonize Doc Holiday. It goes on for quite some time. He finishes, then stares at Doc in challenge. Doc then calmly replicates Ringo's entire showoff routine perfectly...with his drinking cup. While making mocking faces at Ringo the whole time. Capped with "holstering" the cup when he's done. Ringo is understandably livid at being mocked in public so effectively and it's fuel to the fire with their eventual showdown in the climax. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy twirls a stake after dusting a particularly troublesome vampire in "The Freshman" and has been seen doing this frequently in other episodes. Spoofed in the promo for the aborted Buffy: The Animated Series where Buffy hits herself in the head while twirling her stake. Dark Willow lifts the training weapons off Buffy's Wall of Weapons using her telekinetic powers. Before they fly at our heroes in a Flechette Storm, one of the axes and some of the knives twirl in mid-air. In the spin-off series, Angel often does this when he's using an axe. |
