Saihate no Paladin - Ch. 68.1

Found a way to use the sword and replace his spear, all at once! A sword is cool, but a glaive/swordstaff is more of a fit.

If only it had a large cross-shaped guard/handle, like a certain Dragonslayer's gold-hafted spear.

Unrelated, but I want to know. What is the deal with splitting up a manga's chapters into multiple parts?

Personally I don't like it but I'd wager there is SOME reason for it. My best guess is that it's for the people who really pester the scanlators for new chapters; this way they can, at least partially, satisfy them.

Most of the time it's how they were published in the magazines. Then it's up to scanlators if they wanted to wait and compile, or post them as they come out.

I wish scanlators would stop being in a such a rush to release these kinds of serializations. Just release the full chapter when they're all ready, the format kills pacing and some don't even bother to pace out the chapter with the splits in mind.

You killed the Ancient Dragon, now go kill the Tarrasque. Good luck~

Publishers.
Essentially have a monthly series release split chapters twice as oft to justify the online subscription or further milk the pay per chapter model. Some also argued that it lessened the burden on the author, dunno about that if the workload remained 30 pages a month in two releases instead of one deadline. Next you find that you only get the split chapter once a month and not even a full and so on. Now, it has spread from digital only releases to even printed works like any cancerous anti-customer policy always does and everyone suffers for it. Except the publishers.

Some groups wait until a whole chapter is released and then combine it, but what with shitty mtl groups popping up like wasps on a picnic, most just release them as they come out to avoid snipedrama.

And can't of course forget groups/sites like Utoon, who try to skim whatever profit they can from fanscans. In those cases speed is key.

calling it a glaive seems wrong i think., since glaive only has one side blade/edge . dunno, not an expert on Polearm weapon but it seems wrong for both gliave and spear.

this is literally just swordstaff, and looks like one, unless the author of LN & manga both never heard swordstaff

my armchair knowledge is that glaive is for slashing and spear is for poking, so it might not be totally incorrect to call it a glaive since the edges are sharpened for slashing compared to a spear with only the tip sharpened for poking, tho correct me if im wrong there

He should get the matching armor and embrace the tactical advantages of being an attention whore.

Novice Historian and HEMA practitioner here, I concur thats how it's generalized between Spear and Glaive. To add on; Glaives are known to have longer/thicker blades as well as a tang (similar to those found on swords) than spears (Partisans for example are the largest you can go and still call it a spear), Swordspears/Swordstaffs at least to my knowledge weren't as well known or widely adopted outside of Scandanavia/Nordic Countries where this classification of weapon originates from due to the fact of the nature of the weapon was just mounting an existing sword blade onto a long shaft.

I apologize if my words sound snobbish or holier-than-thou, just wanted to add on my understanding.

That chapter really wasn’t meant to be split...

 

[ciera]

Thanks for the scanlation

 

[Serenata]

The dwarfs are so happy now lol
Hey, wasn't the elf supposed to go with the other elf to talk about even more elves somewhere else?

 

[R0dr1g0-Shin]

Jesus, they actually used the Legendary dwarven sword for the sword-staff...

[fight2live]

Menel's reaction to the sword/spear combo was exactly the readers' reaction last chapter

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

"You killed the war obsessed immortal evil god dragon"
"You cannot defeat the really big boy"
It's kinda like in DBZ, with how there's always that one guy who's stronger than the last 'strongest person in the universe'.

You're a fan of Ornstein eh?

Of course, he's the second coolest guy in all of Dark Souls.

Number one, of course is The Nameless King with his even cooler sword spear.
