Talk:Dual Blades

About "Unique Skills"
Do the novels ever emphasize on the names of all the unique skills, or do we only know <> and <>? If we know more, we could make a template for them. CrackLawliet (talk) 02:13, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

If there's a need, I'll personally do it myself. 03:06, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

The only Unique Skills mentioned in the LNs are «Holy Sword» and «Dual Blades». However, in a Q&A session of the 3rd popularity contest held by Reki as Kunori Fumio in 2005, several other Unique Skills were mentioned, but only superficially (i.e. only the names are mentioned, but with no specifics on each skill), so I doubt that a template is needed here. --Gsimenas (talk) 14:37, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Snake Bite
You guys should recheck Volume 10: regarding "Snake Bite" in the previous versions it said "Dual Blades" in the old versions but was edited out and changed to '''“Aincrad style Twin-consecutive-hit Skill... «Snake Bite»”, '''this is probably still a translation issue, but any mention of dual blades is removed and will probably only start appearing in volume 12+Kazakiri (talk) 23:27, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

For your information, some of us did bring the topic of this skill up a week ago (http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:14552#32), but for some reason, the discussion stopped. I for one questioned whether this skill was actually a Dual Blade skill, as it was used with only 1 sword and only mentioned in Alicization, where Dual Blades hasn't been used, but we didn't reach a mutual agreement, so I hadn't made any changes on this issue. --Gsimenas (talk) 14:37, March 25, 2013 (UTC)

Blade or Sword for "刀"?
It's at least a good thing I put it as either "sword" or "blade", since coming from my knowledge of Chinese, the 刀 kanji usually means knife or blade instead of an actual sword. So instead of just simply taking out the sword part I decided to at first make it as sword/blade to leave it open.

Unless the original mangaka of the series wants it translated as "sword" instead of "blade", then by all means crush my sorry ass for making such an unnecessary change. SneaselSawashiro (talk) 07:48, October 18, 2014 (UTC)
