Fate looks badass like always, bardiche... not so much
I in turn like how Bardiche looks like an actual axe now and not like a scythe or sword(s).
Well you're probably going to be seeing bardiche transform into a sword...assuming the A's movie doesn't give Fate a completely different kind of upgrade.
That would be business as usual then, but it always irked me that Bardiche was named after a type of axe despite looking like anything but one. The axe form seems to be the normal mode here, making the name more fitting no matter what extra forms may be hidden still.
(Though now I have the problem of a mid range speed type like Fate sporting a slow, close ranged strength type weapon like an axe as her device. Scythes are generally improbable weapons though more often than not associated with skill, fitting the versatile image Fate has going, while her Zamber mode can be handwaved as a heavy single finisher strike and not a mode for prolonged battles. Twin swords are obviously speed based, so no complaints there.)
I think both Fate and Bardiche look great in the movie.
But Bardiche, you aren´t an axe you are… well… a bardiche a type of glaive polearm known in the 16th and 17th centuries in Eastern Europe and Russia.
And as such, Bardiche should definitely be longer... and more unwieldy.

Prefer the series bardiche? I kinda like how it looks more lethal now. Looks like it could slice people in two. :3
