Houtengeki

This is a one of a kind halberd, a weapon passed down in the Chinese culture.

A halbred is a polearm used to thrust and strike, and has may uses. Although it was a weapon that could be used by anyone, it died out as time passed, until it was revived it the Sung period as Houtengeki.

It has many uses, such as thrusting, swiping, pulling and parrying, but on the other hand, it is said that a great deal of skill is needed to handle this weapon.

The crescent-moon shaped blade is called the crescent blade, and we call weapons with only one of these blades Seiryugeki.

Out of many halberds, only this halberd was promoted to the rank of Noble Phantasm, probably because it was used by a famous military commander.
