In action anime, creators don’t ever shy away from making characters with interesting weapons. Although swords or katanas are often thought to be the coolest, scythes aren’t that shabby themselves. Last time, we covered our favorite scythe wielders, here we’re sharing our top 8 anime scythes.

This weapon has two scythe blades coming out from each of them, one straight and one inverted. Hisagi uses the weapon in different ways, sometimes adding chains on their ends to throw them around. Furthermore, in the anime, this weapon has a spirit named Kazeshini inside who received a rebellion arc too.
