'''119's "The Extra Musketeer" OR "Call Toshiaki Kirino "Kiririn", I Fucking Dare You!" Edges'''

Leaders
Melee: In terms of melee weapons, I give the edge to d'Artagnan's basket-hilted broadsword for its basket hilt, providing protection to the hand and making it better for parrying, as well as the double edge, which provides more options to attack.

Firearm: I give the edge to Toshiaki's precussion pistol as it is a more advanced design with greater reliability then the flintlock. Still, otherwise, the two weapons are very similar.

Overall: Both Toshiaki and D'Artagnan are skilled fighters, but in the end, I give a slight edge to D'Artagnan for his longer service- meaning greater experience, as well as a more versatile sword. Edge: Musketeers

The Lancer
Primary: The Katana is a slashing weapon, with a slightly shorter blade, though with the length of the handle, it would even out to close to that of the rapier. On the other hand, the rapier is an almost exclusively thrusting weapon. Unlike what an episode of Mythbusters showed, a rapier designed for combat could not be easily broken with a cut, even from a heavier sword. Still, the way the blade is balanced might make it a bit easier to knock out of the way with a heavier blade. On the other hand, the longer blade, does give the rapier a longer killing range. In the end, however, I give a slight edge to the katana, as it is an actual battlefield weapon. Edge: Tanaka
