I Havent Watched This In A While - Tumblr Posts

On a different but similar note, in Riposte when Adrien and Kagami first fence, they start off using épée techniques and fencing épée but then as soon as they unhook it’s shown that they are using sabres and then they start using sabre techniques, which is just- no. It changes the target area, the weapon they use, and the freakin’ RULES! (Sabre and foil are military sports, épée is made for dueling and has a WHOLE ton less rules)

But none of this matters because before and after the bout they didn’t salute, shake hands, NOTHING????? You can get disqualified for that in sabre?? And I know it’s not that big of a deal because it’s fencing in a cartoon and even then it’s a fencing CLASS not a competing but come on they’re claiming to be the best fencing school in Paris and they don’t even do the basics when it comes to manners we learned this stuff our first day

OK SO DIFF ANON BUT whenever Adrien is show fencing in s1 he's using an épée, HOWEVER the techniques he uses (in fencing or as Chat Noir) are actually sabre techniques (it wouldn't actually work in a real match but shh it's a cartoon) so I'm guessing he practices both

that’s actually really interesting omg???
