@rohin.reads: And it’s used exclusively by the golds (until certain events) cementing its status as both an instrument of war and a symbol of right to rule #redrising #redrisingtrilogy #piercebrown #scifibooktok #BookTok

Cake 😺 :

I absolutely hate every artist version of it... It should be like a monowire with a rapier handle, not some thick anime blade with a 2ft handle.

Connor :

My fav is the move Darrow always does where he lassos someone’s limb and activates the razor to be rigid, slicing the limb clean off.

kharithemaniac :

This specific reason is why I say it should be animated cause no live action sword play can even come close to the moves they were doing in the books. The closest I could think of is revenge of Sith levels of dueling and even then that would be slow 😭😭

Unshorn :

The peak of Gold can perform 8 movements per second.

ghostiese :

bennettstake :

This is from the official Sons of Ares graphic novels

Calvin au Luca :

I quite literally imagine ribbon dancing for Darrows fighting style. Almost like the girl Hashira from Demon Slayer. Golds have been described as dancing pairs going thru a battlefield

Thunder Proo :

I hate how people have drawn them. The handle is way to big imo

Hufflepuff_Haze :

The Razor is exactly the reason this show should be animated when it’s adapted.

Jaggerman :

There is a fantastic movie called brotherhood of the wolf that has a weapon in it similar to a razor. It’s a bone chain sword. The guy can make it solid like a blade or loose like a whip. Very cool. Love red rising. Nice video.

Derek Bowen :

Great analysis. Prime my Goodman.

Aero75367 :

I was thinking about buying the books. Should I?

ascalis3 :

My first attempt at making one. I even used that first image for most of the modeling

Zen Master :

It’s like the blade from pacific rim lol

Jorel :

Reaper really the GOAT

Dariane :

This is a great visual for my brain

Aaron :

I believe the classical razor styles teach to attack in sets of 7 sec rushes whereas Darrows teach taught him to attack in different patterns like 2 secs then 10 secs etc

Praetor :

I just always pictured them like Ivy’s weapon from soul calibur.

karl__ :

I always imagined it like the sword in Pacific Rim. How it was limp and wonky in its whip form and then it forms a sword when triggered

Elias :

I’ll take Sir Olorins sword instead

nicbmidyett :

Tim Phillips :

read the sun eater series. also has a cool sword.

Brice :

How the razor works

john wood :

it makes absolutely no sense if you think about it at all but heeeeyy red rising aura farming slop if it cool that means its good vibes amiright?
