Ikepri boys’ swords

I’m slacking off on my assignments but I AM thinking of swords. So now: ikepri boys and the kind of swords they use based on their sprite. 

Disclaimer: I’m nowhere near a sword expert, am just an average Sword Fan looking at swords and pointing at them and going ‘oooooooh!’ and by the way, sword names and types are very subjective throughout history and there’s no concrete taxonomy of them, so I’m mostly just going off what I know and seems right. You can add or correct me ofc but uh, be chill about it wuwu

Hopefully I also think… this could be helpful for artists and writers, I don’t know, maybe perhaps 

So, Leon, Chevalier, Clavis, and Licht: longswords! All these boys are super tall looking so the length confuses me but looking at the hilt, their swords are definitely made for two hands. 

On foot, and one-on-one, fighting with swords like these are not all about just slashing as wide and hard as possible, it’s more about twisting and pivoting your sword around your enemies’ sword while at the same time keeping them from poking you (basically parrying and countering them.) Against full armor, especially, you have to thrust into narrow gaps of the plates.

In horseback tho, I guess you can only use one hand to slash them around. And if you’re good on your horse you can do that without worrying about accuracy or getting poked too much. From what I’ve seen in Leon’s route seems like  they fight on horseback often (and no one here uses armor anyway….. Which is very silly of them.) If they’re not against like, an army of people with spears, I can see how someone like Chevalier would be pretty hard to beat indeed. 

I also notice they have em with pretty long hilts, esp Litch here, and long hilts gives extra leverage between your two hands and you can cut and slash harder. Those hand guards and pommel looks like it could pack a punch too. You can use a sword backwards sometimes, you know. In fact I think Leon’s could hurt pretty bad. But hand guards are most important for parrying, stopping the enemies’ blade as it slides against yours, and then you can push it away and slash around it, or something.

Also! Licht bears a second arm, and the blade isn’t visible but it could be an arming sword. A short sword, basically, one handed. It might also be a dagger of some sort. It’s pretty common to bring a dagger to get up close and personal after wrestling with your longsword, especially against armor, again, to get into the narrow gaps. Definitely made him look like he’s a master and efficient at fighting.

Jin here, I don’t know if he’s just very tall, but his sword seems shorter than the longswords. It could be just a shorter hilt. Though a shorter-longsword-but-longer-than-a-shortsword is usually called a bastard sword (one-and-a-half handed sword.) Swords are a spectrum and there’s no clear line between them, hard to say. How it hangs lower on his waist made him more casual, and doesn’t seem like the kind of leader that gets up to the heat of the fighting himself. Like Clavis, too. He looks more like someone that works in the background and his sword is only ceremonial. Am I actually talking about character design right now? 

Yves! Idk why but I was excited to see that he wields a sabre. It’s curved and one edged, one handed, and it’s more of a slashing weapon than thrusting. It is more often used in modern eras, I think, since it’s probably hard to use against those medieval plate armor. Sabers are very cool and based and very pretty and definitely suits him aaahhhhhh

Also Nokto’s! I can’t see Nokto’s sword very well but by the look of the hilt, with that knuckle guard and a slight curve, it could be a saber too. Maybe a straight saber since it doesn’t seem to curve much. Since it looks shorter than Yves’, it could probably also be called a cutlass. (look, these terminologies… Don’t think too much about it) Definitely suits his type of guy! Sleek and fast and sneaky. I really like how their weapons suits their design and personality hhhhhhh

Fighting with sabers is a lot of swishing and swooshing and clanging around and basically like how anime swordfights are really, which is why I like them. And sabers has a flamboyant vibe too, I think… Maybe just me…

And now, LUKE. With his thick ass sword. I don’t know if he’s just so tall that a greatsword only reaches his chest (when it usually reaches your chin) or it’s just a longer, bigger longsword…  Like I said, swords are a spectrum. Though since he has to carry it on his back, its safe to assume he got a greatsword. 

Apparently greatswords has a specialty of being used against multiple enemies, enemies on either side of you, etc, etc, so you def swing around hard with this. Luke looks like a big tanky boy, and his beast is a bear, it fits a whole lot. At the same time, he’s a chill dude, so he only wears it on his back. You can’t draw that massive thing from your back by the way, if it’s longer than your arm it’s impossible. So it’s like he’s hiding his power level. And just be a chill but very big guy

Rio and Sariel doesn’t seem to be carrying anything, but I guess Sariel got a whip on him. ANd i definitely know nothing about that 

So that’s it, you’ve just watched me rant about swords for some hundred words through low quality low effort post. I’ll put the gif sources on the replies below. Go drink water.

[qshara]

The King: I think we have a problem

Sariel, holding the twin babies in his arms, a little Clavis on his back pulling his hair and Yves in a baby carrier: not another baby, not another baby, not another baby, not another baby

The King: I think Obsidian is trying to attack us again

Sariel: Thanks God

The king:

Sariel:

The King: And maybe I slept with another woman last night

Sariel: -internal screaming-

What would happen if you leave them in the same room?

積もった雪　春の陽射し　溶け出し想い出す

心の奥にしまい込んだ君の記憶

Tsumotta yuki　Haru no hizashi　Tokedashi omoidasu

Kokoro no oku ni shimaikonda kimi no kioku

As the spring sunlight that melted the accumulated snow

I’ve kept my memories of you deep in my heart

懐かしいな　ちょうど今の　この時期に付き合い

まだ少し寒い君の手を　初めてギュッと握ったね

Natsukashii na　Choudo ima no　Kono jiki ni tsukiai

Mada sukoshi samui kimi no te o　Hajimete GYUTto nigitta ne

It’s nostalgic, isn’t it　It was just around this time [of the year] that we’ve crossed paths

The first time when I held your hands tightly　They were a little cold

分かっているさ　分かっているよ

今は　もういない…

涙溢れてく(溢れてく)募ってく(募ってく)

逢いたくなるの…　いつも

Wakatteiru sa　Wakatteiru yo

Ima wa　Mou inai…

Namida afureteku (afureteku) tsunotteku (tsunotteku)

Aitakunaru no…　Itsumo

I’ve already known, I’ve already knew

That now, you’re no longer here

The amount of overflowing tears keeps on growing

I just want to meet you… always

この瞳に映る日々は

どこか少しぎこちなくて

君の声が聞きたくて

願う言葉　星に

Kono hitomi ni utsuru hibi wa

Doko ka sukoshi gikochinakute

Kimi no koe ga kikitakute

Negau kotoba　Hoshi ni

The days that are reflected in these eyes

As awkward as some of them were

Because I long to hear your voice

I sent those words of wishes to the stars

困った顔　笑い顔も　全て覚えている

沢山の想い出がたまらなく恋しい

Komatta kao　Waraigao mo　Subete oboeteiru

Takusan no omoide ga tamaranaku koishii

Your troubled face, and when you laughed　I still remember everything

I can’t help but miss so many memories

いつの日か　この想いを　暖かく見れる日が

きっと来るように　僕がそう　強くならなきゃいけない

Itsu no hi ka　Kono omoi wo　Atatakaku mieru hi ga

Kitto kuru youni　Boku ga sou　Tsuyoku naranakya ikenai

So that the day when I can look back at those memories warmly will surely come

Right, I’d have to get stronger

弱い自分に　サヨナラしよう

決めた　もう大丈夫！

君も不安だったね(不安だったね)心配ないよ(心配ないよ)

頼りないけど…　見てて

Yowai jibun ni　SAYONARA shiyou

Kimeta　Mou daijoubu!

Kimi mo fuan datta ne (fuan datta ne) shinpai nai yo (shinpai nai yo)

Tayorinai kedo…　Mitete

To my weak self, I bid good bye

I’ve already decided, I’m alright!

You were concerned, weren’t you　Now, please don’t worry

Even if I can’t be relied on, look at me

この瞳で前を向いて

少しだけど進み始め

君の星　見つけ言うよ

今までありがとう

Kono hitomi de mae o muite

Sukoshi dakedo susumi hajime

Kimi no hoshi　Mitsuke iu yo

Ima made arigatou

As these eyes glanced ahead

Even if it’s just a little, I’ve started moving forward

To your star, I’ll search for it and say

Up until now, thank you

出会いや別れを乗り越え

人は1つ大人になる

君の星　忘れないさ

今までありがとう…　今までありがとう

Deai ya wakare o norikoe

Hito wa hitotsu otona ni naru

Kimi no hoshi　Wasurenai sa

Ima made arigatou…　Ima made arigatou

Overcoming various encounters and farewells

We all grow up to be adults [one day]

I will never forget your star

Up until now, thank you　Up until now, thank you

[nodokasia]

Someya is the perfect Chikage!
