There is a difference between literal meaning and naming choices. As far as I remember, the subs use "dual wielding" as the skill name, but that doesn't meant that 刀 has the meaning of "wield", does it? "Two swords" doesn't sound good as a name, which is why translators use "dual blades" or "dual wielding" to make it sound better. The point of the literal translation is to reflect the meaning of the kanji, not to repeat the chosen naming.
