Line 95:
* ''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]:'' Red Tiger/Benitora (aka Hidetada Tokugawa) carries with him a collapsible jumonjiyari he calls "Tiger's Wing", and he's skilled enough to basically open perfectly circular holes in his opponents before they can even realize. He later exchange his wrecked spear with the Muramasa Cursed Spear Hokurakushimon/Fomalhaut, an [[Evil Weapon|cursed blade]] which is even stronger than Tiger's Wing, but harder to control. The series also has Gihyo/Mekira, Benitora's former partner who uses a kama-yari with an overly large scythe blade called "Panther's Wing" and uses an hallucination/based fighting style (think of [[Trigun|Dominique the Cyclops from Trigun's anime]]) and Saishi/Tomoe Gozen, who wields an humongous naginata as her weapon of choice.
* ''[[Rave Master]]:'' Hamrio Musica can make any weapon ouf of his silver chain, but he'll usually go for a spear in combat, with variants such as a corsesque or a chinese pike. {{Spoiler|After Reina sacrifices herself to stop the Silver Ray superweapon, she transmute the weapon in a large, elaborated spear called Silver Ray, merging her own Silver Claymore powers and soul in it, giving Musica a permanent upgrade.}}
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]:'' being a weapon expert, Erza Scarlett can also fight with spears, lances and glaives as easily as she does with her usual swords. Among them the Evil-Banishing Spear, a massive spear she uses to break the spell-induced dome over Galuna Island, and a naginata she uses with her flexible Yuen Armor. Her Edolas counterpart wields a magic spear with the same powers of the Ten Commandments sword from the author's previous work ''[[Rave Master]]''.
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' includes a rather ridiculous naginata duel in its Japan arc. "Ridiculous" in the sense that the attacker shows up [[Dual-Wielding]] ''two'' naginatas, which gives the defender a chance to swipe one and face off against her. (Real naginata combat also doesn't work anything like the way it's depicted.)
