youre thinking the naginata should just break into two separate pieces; one in both hand? and the third section being a nuisance since you cant separate maximum distance or put them really close together?

the weapon she uses is not "two blades connected by 3 segments in the middle", its a double bladed naginata that just happens to break as a three section staff, its inherent in the weapon itself. whether or not its a nuisance or an advantage depends largely on the user.

so why a three-section weapon in the first place? maybe she prefers it? maybe she knows how to handle both a whip, a spear, dual swords, staffs in the first place, and its the combination of her martial knowledge, AND she knows she can use it effectively? maybe a weapon that can move in segments like that has some benefit in fighting youmu? i cant really say.

what i can provide is that a three-section weapon is no more a disadvantage than the range of a sword or the drop of an arrow, proficiency and general weapon know-how is what determines if a weapon is a handicap or not.
