So I did a lot of item collecting in D&T, enough that I can confidently say to have seen every weapon and armor in the game (Accessories are too rare). I also wrote that stuff down. You might ask “Why?” Well, the reason is that there are several weapons that form ‘groups’ so to say, where one is the best and has the proper name with some worse weapons which are basically cheap copies, and I’m not talking about all the Almond Tofu Pudding items. Below I’d like to list those because most of the time that seemed to work on some sort of puns or other types of jokes, which were well localised, otherwise I wouldn’t have had the hunch that there were jokes in the original version. And I’d like to have @cloud668 talk about the localisation decisions a bit if possible and explain the original jokes. The latter part can also be done by anyone who’s fluent enough in Japanese thanks to this wiki.
So without further ado, to the weapons. Also, groups will be seperated by a line.
