Dual Blades
Blade and speed define the hunter who dances between death and destruction.
The Dual Blades are a weapon class in the Monster Hunter universe. In the film *Monster Hunter* (2020), Milla Jovovich's character, Captain Natalie Artemis, chose to use the Dual Blades. Jovovich, who stated she was also a fan of the video game series, was able to select what weapons she wanted her character to be shown with, and experimented in-game to narrow her choice to the Dual Blades, both as effective weapons in game and because "I thought they'd look really beautiful in an action sequence."
