Yeah i picked naginata over yari because its generally considered to be the japanese equivalent to the western halberd, its often actually translated directly to halberd. I was in tokyo recently and saw some yari heads without shafts and some of them had absolutely ridiculous tangs, definitely built for heavy punishment and anti armour, pic related doesnt really compare but i cant find any good pics online lol.

Most people are definitely thinking of advanced full plate armour but i think theyre retarded and dont know the historical setting in which that was created, they bring up crusaders vs muslims every single time as if it has any relevance whatsoever. Its like bringing up armoured horse drawn wagons in a discussion about ww2 tanks
