!!''Man at Arms'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Some of the weapons are this despite all the love put in their crafting; the Buster Sword is just too heavy to swing around, and the Diamond Sword has a very uncomfortable grip (but it's still a real blade).
* AwesomeButPractical: The [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Master Sword]], [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Power Sword]] or the [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats Sword of Omens]] are this, shown swung around effortlessly but flawlessly slicing through pots, fruits and glass bottles.

* ShoutOut: The Keyblade episode concludes with the blacksmith breaking through a door with the newly-forged weapon and yelling [[Film/TheShining "HERE'S TONY!"]]
* TakeThat: The final scene of each episode, where the completed weapon is shown cutting things, often contains some of these. One of the most obvious is the stabbing of Sokka's sword through a copy of ''Film/TheLastAirbender''.
* ThunderboltIron: Tony bought actual Nickel-Iron meteorites to forge into Sokka's sword.
