Dual Wielding in Western Animation.
- Amphibia: In the Season 2 finale, Grime celebrates their takeover of Newtopia by gifting Sasha a second sword to wield alongside her original one, with her saying she's always wanted to dual wield. She proceeds to do so for the rest of the series.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- Zuko and Jet — the former uses dao
, while the wields latter hook swords. The Evasive Fight-Thread Episode was inevitable. - Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors with twin fans.
- In one episode, Aang has a sleep-deprived hallucination that Appa (a six-legged flying bison) stands up on his back legs and wields no less than four swords, one in each of his other "legs". (And has a samurai fight with Momo the flying lemur, who only has one.)
- Furthermore, in "Zuko Alone", Zuko and his dual daos face off against an Earthbender who wields dual hammers.
- Zuko and Jet — the former uses dao
- In The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Baron Zemo usually wields a sword, which he sometimes dual-wields in conjunction with either a dagger or a pistol.
- Ulrich of Code Lyoko upgrades to two Samurai swords in his Lyoko form in Season 4. Yumi, on the other hand, had upgraded to two fans in Season 2, rather than just the one.
- This is exactly the fighting style of Rayla from The Dragon Prince. She has two retractable combat knives, which she guides in combat.
- He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) has Skeletor using a broadsword that can separate into two longswords when needed.
- Justice League Unlimited, episode "Dark Heart": Batman fends off a bunch of robot tigers and spiders by using a pair of giant batarangs. Yes, they were batarangs the size of swords, and he still pulled them out of his utility belt. Even collapsibility will only take you so far, folks. But Rule of Cool was all over the place in that episode, anyway.
- Possibly inspired by a Planetary/Batman crossover where Batman does the same thing. The connection? Both were written by Warren Ellis. (Ellis is also fond of nanotech, which showed up heavily in his Transmetropolitan series and was the Big Bad in Dark Heart.)
- Reused in The Batman vs. Dracula. Except those were actually his normal 'rangs.
- Then in Batman: The Brave and the Bold he dual-wields a Light-Sabre and a stolen Demon Blade against some summoned fire demons.
- The Mickey Mouse short Thru the Mirror saw Mickey duel a card, the King of Hearts, after being spotted dancing with the Queen of Hearts. The torso's at each end of the card grab a sword to might Mickey with, who parries with a needle.
- The Simpsons: In Rome-Old and Juli-Eh, Nelson helps defend Bart and Lisa's cardboard fortress by wielding a tube in each hand against attacking postal workers.
- Steven Universe:
- Garnet's weapon of choice is two Hard Light gauntlets, summoned through her Gems.
- In "Ocean Gem", Pearl duel-wields spears while fighting against water clones of herself created by Lapis Lazuli. Flashbacks to the Gem War show her wielding two swords.
- Amethyst fights using two whips rather than her usual one throughout the series when faced with an enemy stronger than herself.
- In "Earthlings", Smoky Quartz, a Multi-Armed and Dangerous fusion of Amethyst and Steven, is able to use two and then three Killer Yo-Yos to fight a fusion of Jasper and a captured corrupted Gem.
- Done by every one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles except for Donatello, who wields a Martial Arts Staff. Even still, Donatello's original toy does come with two staffs (maybe the second is a spare since his bo-staff often breaks).
- At least once in Teen Titans (2003), Robin traded in his usual staff for a pair of smaller sticks and wielded them using the Filipino martial art of escrima.
- That was a hint regarding the "Which Robin?" controversy — Dick Grayson eventually adopts escrima sticks as his weapons of choice when he nails down the Nightwing costume. So Robin in TT using them = hint as to where it was all going.
- Quite a few Transformers do this when combat gets up close and personal.
- Beast Machines gave Cheetor a pair of yellow scimitars that looked like nothing so much as Ginsu bananas. Optimus Primal did this with two of his bodies in Beast Wars: swords for his first body and maces as a Transmetal.
- Wing Saber, in Cybertron, does it a little differently: his swords attach to his forearms rather than being held, though his combined form with Optimus Prime follows the trope normally.
- Starscream from Armada can turn one of his wings into a sword, but sadly only one. Fortunately, after the Star Saber is constructed, he gets a chance to wield it alongside his normal weapon. His fellow Armada Decepticon, Wheeljack, follows the trope with a pair of, um, sticks (which the anime reinterpreted as really unergonomic guns).
- Transformers: Animated has Jazz using a pair of nunchaku, and post-resurrection Megatron turns each of his helicopter blades into swords. Cyclonus is seen using a pair of swords. Though never seen in the show, Arcee wields them in the packaging art. Post-upgrade Sari is first seen wielding dual blades, but never again.
- In Transformers: Prime, whose designs are very movie-based, virtually all the characters fight by turning their hands into paired blades or blasters. Ultra Magnus is the primary exception to this, as he prefers a giant warhammer that he wields with both hands.
- Similar to his counterparts above, Dick Grayson in Young Justice (2010) is seen fighting with escrima sticks once or twice as Robin, but begins relying on them more heavily as Nightwing.
- In The ZhuZhus episode "Zhu Year's Eve", Ellen dual-wields forks to threaten her husband's life.
