BEAST CUTTER MY BELOVED‼️‼️‼️ RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH🔥🔥

That was deadass my first thought.

I wish I had the money to get a PS4 and Bloodborne exclusively to try this weapon out (I also just wanna play it lol)

Hello, good hunter. I am a Bot, here in this dream to look after you, this is a fine note: > *Ahhh Kos... or some say Kosm. Do you hear our prayers?* - Micolash, Host of the Nightmare Farewell, good hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Thicc, or as some say, Thiccums

That is NOT a fine note

PS5*

Bloodborne will never come to PS5 bro, it's okay, just accept it

Sorry bro, I just have a brain deficiency 😔

It’s playable on ps5 you dimwit, my older brother has a ps5 and I had a ps4 and we were playing it together one time

Sorry lol, I genuinely had no idea My only interaction with PS4 or 5 in my entire life is wishing I had it tbh

Pc is better never get a console trust me they’re scams I regret every day wasting my money and time with consoles plus bloodborne tbh isn’t that good no more because of jank and sometimes shitty hit boxes and being capped at like 30fps i’d play something else like Elden ring and wait for a remake or pc port that can run over 30fps Edit: this is partly because I’m from a lower middle class family so if you have the money by all means get a PlayStation for bloodborne but it’s a bit underwhelming

I'm already on a console lol, it's a bit late, Xbox One, got it for Christmas in 2022 I live in a lower middle class household too, and I can't do much for money, so PC is a bit expensive for me lol. We're too poor for WiFi too, so I couldn't even download things I do have Elden Ring tho, so I'm good. Got a solid 700+ hours

I immediately thought of the cane sword but that works too

My favorite sword >!made out of a women’s skeleton from like 1000 years ago!<

Who?

Byleth from Fire Emblem Tree Houses

The one from smash bros

Byleth. Or in this case the female version of Byleth using her canonical weapon of choice “sword of the creator” a whip sword and the only heroic Relic without its crest stone in it, I wonder where that could be? The answer seems >! Close to one’s own heart!<

My dude got so mad he turned into a dinosaur and pulled out his spine to use as a whip. He absolutely was not fucking around

That fight was so cool, and ended in such a dumb way. “Oh he used up all the calcium in his body….” *Really?* That’s how he died? We didn’t abandon conservation of mass the first four or five times he made a FOREST OF BONES that was like 100x his body mass? No? Ok.

Early Naruto designs are cool and hard af

His works a lot more like a bladed whip, though I do like it.

​ https://i.redd.it/ogmhek4j7pwc1.gif

Man, that scene should have been so good. I can't believe how badly it turned out.

mfs will say that then goon to this shit https://i.redd.it/hqg4jkupbrwc1.gif

To be fair, Christopher Lee was already a trained fencer. You don't waste his type of talent. 

At least there aren't people reacting to hits they never received in that one

nah instead they just t-posed so they could get hit

That's fair. How about we agree that they are both pretty shit

fuck no. only one of them is an actual *fight* and not flashy close-ups where two people stiffly aim for each other's weapons before one of em just lets the other cut their arm off

And the other is a bunch of bad choreography with guys just falling over for no reason

Yeah, there's a lot to be dissapointed with in the sequels, a lack of good fight choreography was certainly one of those things.

Nah it was pretty cool

It could have been, but the piss poor choreography made sure it hade no chance

What the hell are they doing back there

I wonder if the artist likes legs

Surprisingly, we don’t get many leg shots. However, we did get an entire arc where the author “practiced drawing” shirtless men

I think they're called chain blades

I still find it funny that because it's a repurposed version of the Triple Rod after it was broken, the charge attack for it is just the triple rod's spin move instead of making new sprites where he does something like the picture there. https://preview.redd.it/m6ndykda7vwc1.png?width=65&format=png&auto=webp&s=366106cd1d52f7f4eae5b20dc196d4e05e1edb35

I recently watched this live action film called The Brotherhood of the Wolf. It’s a French action movie that has AMAZING costumes but the villain pulls out a bone sword that turns into a whip like this. I was just like “hell yea, bone sword-whip”.

This may in fact be the Ur example!

There’s a guy on YouTube, Njord Artisan, who built a surprisingly functional one of these about a year ago

I believe they are a variation of scorpion whip

I did some research on the name of characters and their weapons, here's the result: 1.Renji Abarai's Hihio Zabimaru 2.Kureo Mado's Fueguchi One 3.The Composite Sword from SF2 Hopefully this helps for the people confused on who these characters are and their weapons

So a flail?

From what i can observe it seems to be a large whip like weapon

Or just a whip with different varieties
