The scythe has been largely replaced by horse -drawn and then tractor machinery, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia. It is historically used to cut down or reap edible grains, before the process of threshing. (Excerpted from the August issue of my newsletter, “The Wrong Message. A scythe ( / sa / SYDHE) is an agricultural hand tool for mowing grass or harvesting crops. Hmmm, maybe I’ll bring some on my next cosplay excursion… The Reaper approves of these shenanigans. Personally I’d vote for the Grabby-Hands. The big plastic claws that would make Tyrannosaurs unstoppable? Think of the Reaper with one of those. One last smack on the butt and out pops the soul!

Grim Scythe is a gem weapon in Shadow Fight 2. A scythe is kind of impractical as a soul-collecting tool. Now that we know the history…I have to ask a practical question. (Here’s one such example, if you dare to look.) In art, and in life, people came to associate the scythe with the Reaper. We see this exact behavior in paintings of the time. “As I harvest my crops with the scythe, so too must Death harvest souls with one!” Thought of the piles of dead they could still smell. Some people looked at their piles of harvested wheat. Already a centuries-old farming tool by this time. When it came time to harvest that wheat, what did they use? ![]() Out in the fields all day, growing veggies and grains. See, most people in those days worked as farmers. Those heaps, in fact, conjured up the inspiration for Death’s scythe. They had to burn entire heaps of corpses in a (fruitless) attempt to stop the Plague. That whole bit from Monty Python? “Bring out your dead! *CLANK* …bring out your dead!” Yeah, that sort of thing happened during the Plague. Couldn’t even walk down the street without getting corpse-juice on your shoes. You had thousands of corpses just lying around everywhere. ![]() In the 14th century, Death was literally on everyone’s mind. The scythe though…that took something more powerful to generate. By then people knew what a skeleton was, and freely associated it with Death. The classic robe-and-bones theme came about in the medieval period of Europe. As a god, as an otherworldly spirit, and so on. We have represented Death in many forms throughout history. Let’s go dig it out! (Because nothing bad ever happened from digging up something long buried!) I have an important question to ask: why does the Reaper carry a scythe at all? as i said, i prefer my Meteor Axe until Reaper IV gets refineable. Reaper III can, that is what I am referencing. they are not refineable as 12 Star Weapon.
