Tomoe Gozen vs Trieu Thi Trinh Weapon Preview
Tomoe Gozen Weapons
Katana: There
as
never
been
a
sword
so
beautiful,
so
deadly,
and
so
recognizable
than
the
katana.
The
blade
was
a
thin,
slightly
curved,
and
capable
of
cutting
right
through
human
bodies.
As
impressive
as
it's
killing
power
was
how
the
weapon
was
made,
which
only
the
most
skilled
of
blacksmiths
could
do.
The
weapon
was
composed
of
Tamahagane,
a
specialized
Japanese
steel,
which
was
folded
upon
itself
numerous
times
to
increase
it's
strength
&
durability.
When
the
Katana
was
completed,
it
was
immediately
put
into
water
to
cool.
This
action
created
the
signature
curve
that
the
west
recognized
as
a
Katana
blade.

Naginata: This
was
the
weapon
that
made
Tomoe
Gozen
a
name
among
Japanese
warriors.
Standing
in
a
7
feet,
5
feet
of
the
weapon
composed
the
shaft,
while
the
remaining
2
feet
were
the
blade
(sometimes
the
blade
was
2
1/2
to
3
feet).
Masters
of
the
weapon
(almost
always
women,
since
the
men
that
went
into
battle
used
the
Yari,
a
similar
weapon)
were
capable
of
unleashing
a
fluid
series
of
attacks,
all
of
which
would
either
slash
or
stab.

Yumi: Before
the
Samurai
mastered
the
Katana,
archery
was
their
calling
card,
and
their
tool
in
such
endeavors
was
the
Yumi.
As
long
as
the
Naginata,
the
Yumi
was
made
from
a
single
piece
of
wood,
reinforced
with
leather
to
made
the
bow
a
bit
more
durable.
Because
of
the
Yumi's
length,
the
arrows
shot
from
it
had
tremendous
force
behind
them.
Some
archers
even
mastered
the
tactic
of
shooting
their
opponent's
eyes
out,
bypassing
any
need
to
shoot
at
an
armored
body.

Fan Knife: Carried
by
many
women
in
the
Japanese
nobility,
the
Fan
Knife
was
a
beautiful
yet
deadly
weapon.
Disguised
as
an
ordinary
fan,
the
inside
concealed
a
blade
that
was
generally
anywhere
from
3
to
5
inches
in
length.
This
allowed
a
user
to
hold
a
weapon
in
public
without
being
seen
as
a
warrior,
or
at
the
very
least
someone
knowledgeable
in
fighting.

Trieu Thi Trinh
Jian: An
elegant
blade
used
by
the
nobles
&
commanders
of
China,
as
well
as
the
Vietnamese
who
eventually
acquired
it.
Early
version
of
the
blade
were
made
of
bronze,
but
when
iron
became
common
place,
this
practice
all
but
ceased.
Designed
as
a
one-handed
weapon
(with
some
possibly
designed
for
two-handed
use),
the
Jian's
double-edged
straight
blade
gave
the
user
a
light
and
fast
weapon
that
was
highly
effective
at
slashing,
as
well
as
piercing.
According
to
Chinese
legends,
the
weapon
was
so
fast,
it
could
cut
through
the
water
without
getting
wet.

3-Section Staff: Think
of
this
weapon
as
a
pair
of
nunchaku
hoped
up
on
steroids.
The
3-Section
Staff
was...just
that.
To
be
more
serious,
the
weapon
was
composed
of
3
separate
pieces
of
wood,
each
of
which
were
equal
in
length,
thickness,
and
material
used.
The
section
were
then
held
together
by
small
chains,
usually
3
to
5
links
long.
Although
the
weapon
was
somewhat
unwieldy
due
to
it's
construction,
it
was
still
capable
of
impressive
bludgeoning
damage.

Chakrum: Another
weapon
that
eventually
traveled
to
Vietnam,
only
this
time
it
came
from
the
mystical
land
of
India.
The
Chakrum
was
a
metal
ring
(usually
made
from
brass
or
steel),
edged
on
the
outside,
and
smooth
on
the
inside
so
the
user
could
grip
it
safely.
From
there,
the
user
could
throw
it
underhand
or
spun
around
on
a
user's
pointer
finger.
What
was
most
impressive
about
the
design
of
the
weapon
was
that
because
of
it's
aerodynamic
shape,
it
couldn't
be
deflected
by
the
wind.

hakram
Katar: A
weapon
for
warrior
who
want
to
get
right
up
and
cuddle
with
the
enemy.
There
were
actually
two
version
of
the
weapon:
one
solid
blade,
or
a
trio
of
blade.
Regardless,
both
were
fitted
over
the
user's
hands,
and
used
as
punching
weapons.
The
sheer
force
behind
each
blow
meant
that
bones
would
break,
and
internal
organs
would
be
destroyed.
