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."

Lore & Background

The source material does not provide any lore or story details about the Dual Blades beyond Milla Jovovich's selection of them for her character. The source states that all of the armor and weapons that the Hunters will wear will be based on the equipment from the game series, and will include at least one character that wears a mis-matched set of armor, which reflects on the player's ability within the game to mix and match armor sets for beneficial results. However, no specific lore, history, or in-game mechanics for the Dual Blades are described in the provided text.

The source material does not contain any narrative or story moments involving the Dual Blades. The plot summary describes Artemis learning to fight using "the Hunter's unique bladed weapons" and helping set a trap to kill the Diablos, but does not specify the use of Dual Blades in any particular scene or battle.
