Crossovers
- In Better Living Through Science and Ponies (A crossover between My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and Portal), Chell equips herself with four portal guns/long fall boots.
- Child of the Storm has both Sif and Fandral, the master swordsmen of the Nine Realms as masters of this technique, with Sif in particular wielding a long and a short blade. Both are enlisted to add this to Harry's swordsmanship training in the sequel - an addition which, as Harry correctly and sourly deduces, was at the behest of Doctor Strange, meaning that it will come in useful at some undisclosed point. Given that he's got excellent coordination and balance to begin with, which is explicitly superhuman by the sequel (being half-Asgardian has its perks, eventually) and has the muscle memory to match, he picks it up fast.
- Children of an Elder God: Asuka wields two swords when she fights: one of them is covered with fire and the other irradiates light. She used them during her battle against Nyarlathotep, but they were of no use.Two swords came out. One was covered with orange-red flame, the other shone with pale moonlight. They rose, dispelling the gloom that had fallen upon the balcony, then sliced down in unison. The Regent caught one with each hand, and the fire and light were snuffed. "Fire dies and light fades." His hands twisted and the flaming sword was wrenched from Asuka's hands, falling at Cassilda's amber-frozen feet. The moon sword simply snapped in his hands, then crumbled away to dust.
- The Dragon and the Bow: Mor'du can use his claymore and war axe at the same time. Ruffnut also uses a knife and hatchet for dragon training.
- A Game of Cat and Cat: "Prelude to Pandemonium": When sparring, one of the weapons Aoi used as "two hunting knives at once".
- In Heroic Myth, Bell, Archer, Jack, and Sigurd all wield weapons with both hands: Bell and Jack use knives, Archer wields Kanshou and Bakuya, and Sigurd has the many parts of Gram.
- Several characters in The Night Unfurls do this, but only one out of all of them fights with two blades.
- The Good Hunter, of course, in true Bloodborne hunter fashion — melee weapon on the right, firearm on the left.
- For Hugh, it's either the Threaded Cane-Evelyn setup, or the Chikage-Evelyn setup.
- Occasionally, Lily wields her Church Pick (normal mode) on one hand, and her Flamesprayer on the other.
- Maia duel-wields shortswords in combat.
- While this is not Sanakan's typical style of combat, she uses a Saw Cleaver along with a torch on one occasion in Chapter 22 of the original.
- Save Scumming? It's on My Character Sheet: While fighting Emiya, Cu Chulainn snags the Gae Bolg from Unlimited Blade Works and uses it alongside his staff to launch a counter offensive.
- A Shadow of the Titans: After Jade's chi is reunited, Jinx gives her a a pair of scissors that she's magically enhanced to be usable as a weapon. Speaking a certain command makes them grow to the size of garden shears, and they can be split apart to be wielded in this fashion.
- In Son of the Seven Kingdoms, Arya eventually pairs her canonical rapier Needle with a katana called Ice Fang, which is gifted to her by William.
- In Thousand Shinji, Asuka often fights using two weapons simultaneously. She likes to use twin hatches, but in the Final Battle her Humongous Mecha was equipped with a battle-axe and a barbed whip.Reaching a hand out into nothingness, Asuka grabbed onto something with each hand and began to pull out. Twin ragged streaks appeared in the sky, blood raining from holes in reality as Unit 02 extracted its new weapons. In the right hand it held a titanic bronze battle axe dripping with blood on its adamantine blade, while in the left it bore a long, snaking whip covered in barbs.
- Kodachi Kuno's "Buccaneer Style Ninjitsu" in Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse centers on dual-wielding a Whip Sword in one hand and either a pistol, throwing knives or grenades in the other.
- In The Wizard in the Shadows, Emrys pulls this off and it becomes his favoured style, but only after unlocking his abilities as something that is effectively part angel under extreme stress, giving him greatly enhanced physical abilities, and solving the coordination problem. Before, both times he uses two swords, he uses them sequentially, using the first blade to wound and the second one to kill.
- A Protector's Pride: After defeating his inner Hollow, Ichigo claims their sword for himself. This enables him to use both Zangetsus at once. However, this proves to be Awesome, but Impractical; while it raises his attack power, it also lowers his agility and prevents him from casting kido, and if he activates bankai, it deals more damage to his body. Plus, he's not really used to fighting while dual wielding, complicating matters further.
- In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, the canonical character of Madame Deux-Epées, the Assassins' Guild School's mistress-at-arms, is developed from her minimal description in canon as a Quirmian sword-for-hire-for-a-great-deal-of-money, a woman who is lethal with a long sabre and a shorter poignard, weapons to run away from very fast if they come in your direction.
- Elsewhere, Rus characters from Far Überwald are introduced. Rus Witches tend to carry Cossack sabres. Olga and Irena of the Air Police need to carry swords for their main day job. A witch who tends to the horse people of the Steppe goes one better: Xenia Galena carries two. And she can use them both, simultaneously, as a good Cossack daughter should. And not just for dancing the shaksha with.
- In Antiphony, Jasmine prefers fighting with a weapon in each hand.
- In The Tainted Grimoire, Luso does this sometimes.

- Heroes of the Desk features Valla with two crossbows. Then it ups the ante with two railgun sniper rifles (at least in theory — they haven't been shown in action thus far).
- The Violet Demon: Gaz uses twin plasma-coated short swords in the first match we see her in during the flash-forward prologue.
- In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, Gentaro gains two blades when he uses the Circinus spell (one that extends to far lengths, the other creating Fireballs), and Shun has two pata bladesnote , after making a contract and becoming a Serpent-bearer to Vasuki.
- Live a Hero: Izuku is skilled enough at this that he can hold three of his knives between his knuckles on each hand at once.

- Echoes (Kagaseo):
- Deconstructed: One of the reasons Orochimaru falls to Kazama is because they attempted this with two Kusanagi despite not being ambidextrous or used to fighting in such a fashion.
- Kazama himself makes the same mistake against the Master Swordsman Amaterasu, right down to using a pair of Kusanagi.
- Later in the story, the Dark Wolf does this with much greater success, due to actually being ambidextrous.
- Hakumei: Yumi dual-wields kunai in a fashion which is noted to be better suited for wielding swords.

- Team 8: Shino's mother uses a "praying mantis" combat style that uses a twin pair of kamas. She eventually teaches this to her son.

- There's No Rule That Says A Wolf Can't Be A Jedi: Swift finds three khyber crystals, and turns each of them into a different lightsaber-based weapon, wielding either a regular lightsaber or greatsaber in his mouth and a lightwhip with his tail. This gives him the edge against a Force vision of a Sith version of himself, who is stronger but has only a single blade.
- Bella Swan, Pregnant and Furious: At one point, Bella is fighting using a ninja's katana and a pirate's sword in tandem with each other.
