{{trope}}

This page used to be what [[:Category:Sword Tropes]] was called. Most of the wikilinks here seem to think it's a trope, but if that's not true please fix the link.

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'': [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=396 Just look] at those efficiently designed, finely crafted, aesthetically appealing savage tools of destruction... Tea in her fencing suit and wide smile objects to your [[I Like Swords|unhealthy fascination with swords]]! Though it doubles as foreshadowing, as later "enjoy, but don't forget what it's about" became a good plot point.

* Fighter in ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'', as seen [[:media:Cit 8 bit theatre - welcome to corneria - urge to kill rising.png|here]].

 

== Web Original ==

* In the browser-based MMORPG ''[[Imperium Nova]]'', Nagachika Houraisan of House Houraisan is a big-time sword aficionado.

 

== Other Media ==

* [http://gifsoup.com/view/2756290/yosuke-loves-swords.html Yosuke Loves Swords].

 

== Real Life ==

* According to several celebrity magazines (including ''Us Weekly'' and ''OK!'') published in 2012 and 2013, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (then age 7), daughter of [[Brad Pitt]] and [[Angelina Jolie]], allegedly had a $2 million collection of rare and vintage swords, assembled for her by her father because she loves swords. Whether or not she actually has such a collection, the number of [https://www.google.com/search?q=shiloh+jolie-pitt+sword+collection&safe=off&biw=1294&bih=824&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiLyoru5IbRAhWD6YMKHRgEDGYQsAQIJA#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=shiloh+jolie-pitt+swords photos of her carrying around toy swords] certainly seems to confirm that she loves them.

** This may be an inherited trait. When her mother [[Angelina Jolie]] went through her teenaged [[Goth]] phase, she collected an impressive array of swords according to the book ''Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography'' by Andrew Morton.
