for regular titans, if you don’t separate the regeneration part from the rest of the body, the cut will simply regenerate again. this is seen when sasha cuts a titan’s neck with an axe and it just regenerates
The reason they dual wield is cause of the omni gear you'll always have both hands on the trigger to use the gear so technically there just holding triggers attached to swords which they can also release
Plus the swordsman that dual wields have more striking force when you practice so the saying to cut something probably two handed can be debatable since these guys always act like a katana is superior then a flameberg its the wielder itself not the weapon
Having 2 hands on a weapon is for more Striking power and control. Definitely not double, but for dual wielding you have more striking opportunities with separate hands. If you understand body mechanics though, you can't shift all the mass into an angled strike with 2 swords, like you can with 1 sword, so you'd trade power and defense, for speed and unorthodoxy with 2 weapons.
What concerns me about them is the triggers used for the odm gear. If they don't want to pull the triggers at the moment, could they really cut effectively if they're holding the sword without using their first two fingers?
The trigger is like a bike break, they have to actually put their fingers on top and squeeze to activate i think, it u look when they frip normally there is no trigger
It actually wouldn't be that hard thay train you for at least 1-2 months so you get used to using them and also. Think it would take alot more force than you think otherwise that would litteraly mean anything can trigger it basically
How are they gonna go forward without holding the triggers down. dont they hold them down to cut so they don't need that much force idk maybe i only think that because i played the second aot game
nah if they released it a brazilian ninja will buy it and battle the us senator and cut the senators arm then gets pierced by the nanomachine arm proceeds to join him dies in a legendary battle against raiden the cyborg and which his sword will be taken by blade wolf and give the sword to raiden and finnaly kill the senator aka armstrong
@@MiniKatanaStore but because of odm it was built in such a way where it’s a type of grapple that needs 2 swords to really work using only one hook would greatly decrease your range of motion letting you easily get caught by a titan
@@MiniKatanaStore Its the ODM that gives the power. Their bkdy is trained to be familiarize and withstand the power to be able to slice. Its not just them and the sword. Its also with the odm gear. I don't know why you always forgot that the two swords work in tandem with the mechanism of the gear
@@MiniKatanaStore The way it works is that first off they need two hands to operate the grapples to survive for a second. Two titan shifters you kill the person not the nape that’s just where they are. However titans you need to cut out that area of the nape because that is where the spinal fluid was injected which is easiest done with two blades. Third it’s cool to use two blades lol.
Regular titans dont have people in their neck.. they need to cut out a chunk in their neck to stop them from regenerating themselves, if they dont then it will just regenerate. Its just titan shifters who has their body physically inside the neck of their titan.
@@nicholascrocker4745 a chunk has to come out so they don’t regenerate idiot that’s where that power comes from and if you’ve actually paid attention in the show or manga, it’s clear a chunk always come out when they slash a titans nape
if there is only one big slice then the titan will regenerate due to wound closing but if you use two swords you can slice big chunks off of the titan so the wound wouldn’t close as fast
Umm no maybe for a shifter but titans are not trapped underneath the neck the people before hand are the titan itself you have to cut the regeneration part
Which is also the nape. In titan shifters. The shifter resides in the nape. For pure titans, when someone is turned, the human body is absorbed, but the human spine is left. Where it is located in the nape. Hence why they need to cut the nape.
My brain made this concept for a more toned down ODM gear where there’s only one of the grappling mechanism on your back which you have to like lean down to let the grapple hook shoot out or else it’ll just shoot upwards. There’s also only one blade so its like a weaker but more compact and mobile ig.
They need two swords since the swords operate the Odm gear. The triggers are used to fire the grapples so u need two blades to shoot both grappels and with one sword u can only operate one side. So it makes sense
your literally flying through the air pulled by 2 high power grapplers and propelled by air canisters i don't think force is an issue,two handles make controlling maneuver gear easier . love your videos bro 😄
1: You used a floppy pool noodle compared to not floppy skin and muscle. 2: Normal Titans will regenerate a slice, there isn’t a person inside their napes that they kill. That weakness is due to where titanshifters typically are when they shift. 3: Their blades are light and sharp enough to slice with ease. 4: They are specially trained soldiers to kill the big boys. 5: They need both hands able to move independently for their gear.
But let's keep in mind they're using special gear that require two swords, and let's keep in mind that they are kind of flying around man eating giants
The point of a two handed blade is to have more leverage and reach, but just like a cavalry Saber, the blades used in aot are used at blinding speeds and momentum, this provides plenty enough leverage, more than a standing two handed sword cut. Testing those blades while standing when they're intended to be used while your spirit animal becomes the mosquito isnt fully accurate
the swords are needed, they are the main part if the odm gear, without the triggers on the swords, you can fly with the odm gear. my point is, unless you can stick the triggers onto a curved katana, then you're probably fine with the odm swords.
1. They need the odm gear triggers 2. They’re mid air and the single blade will be more dangerous 3. They do need that Chuck off their nape. Or they will regen 4. It’s classic and looks cooler
I think it's because of the omni gear. I saw that the scouts had triggers for each blade and each blade controls the launch of a grapple so i think that's the reason side note: i dont think controlling both gears with one sword is a good idea😅
If you just slice the nape, it will still heal, Because they explicitly said that you need to "Cut The Nape Off To Kill A Titan" and plus, you see a character just slice the nape of a titan and the titan lives afterwords, and it would probably be more effective to use two swords to slice the nape off, yes you could use one sword but im sure that the process would be a bit slow for killing a titan.
A bit of a correction about the whole person underneath thing. There are only people in titan shifters as all other titans are fully titan and you have to cut the regenerative part out hence the way they cut.
1. They didn't know someone was underneath, they just knew what worked. 2. The reason they use two is less about the shape and more about giving the wielder a second shot at hitting the target in case one blade breaks or get stuck, similar to why the blades can so easily be replaced. 3.if you really want to test it, we'll need to first attach you to some hip mounted rockets and launch you toward the target at a 40-degree angle.
Major problem with this is they need both blades in order to use the ODM gear correctly. Without it, it would be much harder to control and titans would be able to grab them much easier.
2handed is great when you got your full body and a good stance and footing completely useless if you’re missing those single handed with momentum of the oem gear is great
Yeah but a big thing of the odd gear is good mobility which is more easily achieved by equally balanced blades instead of being lopsided with a 2 handed as well as ease of control as the switch that controls the gas and hooks are in the trigger parts of the handle making it much easier to learn and use the odm gear as you can line up your hands with where you want the hooks to go and estimate more easily the activation time and angle
Well part of it is that they need to control the Omni directional gear, so they need two controllers and the balance would be all skewed if a blade was on one controller/handle and not the other
It makes me mad that people don’t get the purpose of why the swords are straight. It’s so that when the swords get dwindled down they can be reloaded. No matter how good the swords are the titans skin is still very hard and the swords will break. So when they break it can be easily replaced. They can’t be replaced with a curved sword, that just wouldn’t work. It’s like a really big over the top box cutter
They make up power with momentum when killing a titan, also it would be better if you can slice on each side to kill multiple titans or if your facing the wrong direction
? the force shouldn't be as much of a problem because they're already being propelled at high speeds to the targets neck, meaning the difference in force would be negligible at best if you were one or two handed at that point. though I will say it might be better to have 1 being wielded with both hands since the force from being flung at 30-50 mph and trying to hold onto a sword you're cutting with at the same speed would be incredibly difficult to hold onto, so it's actually amazing to me that nobody accidentally just loses their swords all the time when they swipe the necks.
Aditional force for the two handed blade is generated by the 3d gears. And with the triangle cut you get a wider space of cut so you don't miss. Imagine cutinng deep enough with one blade and only hit the toe
I think the reason for them to use dual, it could be because they have thoose grapling hooks on both sides and since they have one on the right why not on the left too ?
I agree if you’re just standing there swinging, but they’re less slashing and more holding the blades out as they fly by at high speeds. Sure they are swinging a bit but the speed is what’s allowing them to cut. Also they’re anime characters (build different)
This was proven in the episode where Levi chased down Zeke in the forest. Due to the thunder spears, The scouts aren’t able to use their blades while having it equipped. Levi had only one blade yet he managed to kill a titan with using one while having the other arm full of spears.
But they’re going at dangerously high speeds while doing this so I think how they slice doesn’t really matter because as long as they make contact with skin it’s cutting
ODM gear needs 2 hands to operate and the thing about slashing only 1 part of the neck of the Titan only applies to Titan shifters and not the regular and abnormal titans since they can still regenerate if that whole section isn't cut off
3 things here: 1. You've to separate the regnerative part from titan's body, so the part of nape that has the nervous system of human must be removed completely. A single blade makes this difficult. 2. The blades are extremely sharp but fragile. They're made exclusively for titans as a titan's body is lighter and weaker than a normal human body 3. Most of the time, its the hands that move the blade but the speed and momentum generated by odm gear, so the the blades moves through flesh with considerable speed making them highly effective weapon alongside odm gear
The momentum of the odm gives you more power and the reason they have 3 years of training to master this thing and i should probably train right know incase of an titan outbreak
So in the before the fall OVA the original odm gear was designed with on blade in mind and the blade was a long sword. They would use two but the other sword was a loose weapon that could be dropped and wasn't attached to the odm
there is a different thing u know if u have see kalari ,u will understand it is not like standard samurai type it's like we are wiping someone with belt and if u master the edge allignment it will be easy to cut things altho I admit it will look somewhat vachey
They needed 2 swords to make more efficient use of the odm gear so that they can escape easier and as they got used to the heavy weight of the swords which actually feel kinda light when your moving freely at a high speed in the air it's possible for them and impossible for us
