* '''Inverted''': Shinobi [[IceQueen Kodachi]]'s WeaponOfChoice is a hidden blade which she uses so often it seems to defeat the whole point of it being concealed in the first place.

* '''Played For Laughs:''' Alexander, looking to hire adventurers, chooses [[MightyGlacier Bruno]] because of the mighty axe he carries on his back. However, when they get into their first fight together, Alexander sees that Bruno doesn't use that -- his WeaponOfChoice is a FryingPanOfDoom.

* '''Exploited''': ???The hilt of Jane's sword is silver, covered in diamonds and sapphires so beautiful they could only have come from the faraway country of her betrothed. Its shining blade is covered in a beautifully etched pattern of hearts and flowers. Surely this delicate jewel of a noblewoman would ''never'' dream of sullying such a resplendent gift in combat. [[TemptingFate It's probably not even sharp.]]



* '''Implied''': "Why, Barbara! I've never known you to use a gun before...Wait, isn't that Smilin' Pete's gun? Oh, Barbara, I'm so sorry!"

* '''Parodied''': Pike doesn't actually use his iconic trident because it's stuck in its holster; some time ago, he tried to force it out, and it broke. He can't get it fixed, so he wears it to scare off enemies and uses a different weapon when pushed.

*** It also might be an identifier of sorts, so that if it does get used too much, Barbara might no longer be able to prove it's her.

* '''Deconstructed''': The trident is purely ornamental and not strong enough to use in actual combat. Its prongs break with the first stab.
* '''Reconstructed''': Pike fixes the trident by soldering and reinforcing it, thus making it stronger.

** The weapon isn't meant to be used in actual combat. Pike's trident is actually a ''key'' that was shaped for a famous artifact that happened to be a weapon. It's actually fragile, so Pike hides it when battle starts.
** The weapon was given as a symbol of rank. While it is perfectly useable, Barbara feels that she might tarnish the value of her captain's pistol if she actually fires it.
*** It also might be an identifier of sorts, so that if it does get used too much, Barbara might no longer be able to prove it's her.
