Melee Weapons[]
Bladed Weapons[]
- Kodachi - A Japanese sword around 59 cm in length. Due to its size, it's too small to be considered a traditional long sword but too long to be a dagger. They are the signature swords of Aria H. Kanzaki.
- Nodachi - A massive Japanese sword nearly two meters in length. Used by the Assault division in structor, Ranbyou. Shino Sasaki also uses one, though it's shorter around 1.5 meters in length.
- Katana - A traditional Japanese sword with a curved, slender, single-edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. Most commonly wielded by the Hotogi shrine maidens, but Shirayuki Hotogi uses one forged of Irokane called "Irokane Ayame." Shino Sasaki owns one that's hilt guard has been replaced by that of a cutlass'.
- Broadsword - A sword with a blade that is heavy, straight, and usually double-edged. Jeanne d'Arc initially had one in the form of the Holy Sword Durandal, however it was destroyed in a duel against Shirayuki.
- Saber - A kind of backsword that usually has a curved, single-edged blade and a rather large hand guard, covering the knuckles of the hand as well as the thumb and forefinger. Following it's destruction, Jeanne reforged Durandal into a saber. Shirayuki would temporarily borrow the blade while her Ayame was stolen.
- Scythe - A scythe consists of a wooden shaft about 170 centimetres (67 in) long called a snaith, snath, snathe or sned (modern versions are sometimes made from metal to plastic). The snaith may be straight, or with an "S" curve, but the more sophisticated versions are curved in three dimensions, allowing the mower to stand more upright. Kana's Scorpio is special as it is stored in numerous parts in his hair but, at a simple tug of a wire, can be assembled before him.
- Dagger - A double-edged blade that can be used for stabbing or slashing. Standard issue to all butei, some include Raika Hino and Akari Mamiya, but Riko Mine notably uses two.
- Butterfly Knife - A folding pocket knife with two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles. Kin'ichi Tohyama used it before he was killed in action. Kinji Tohyama use it in honor of his brother.
- Tanto - A common Japanese single or double-edged knife or dagger with a blade length between 15 and 30 cm. The tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. Tantō appeared in the Heian period, but these blades lacked aesthetic quality and were used purely as weapons. Used mostly by Konayuki Hotogi.
- Scramasax Knife - A long, double-edged knife of Viking origins. Originally used by Sherlock Holmes, however Kinji Tohyama became it's new owner following Holme's defeat.
- Kunai - A light-weight, multipurpose tool used for scaling walls, close quarters combat, or assassination from a distance. Fuma Hina typically uses two at a time but has numerous more on her.
