I was just looking at weapons again and found out some neat history on Japanese Fans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harisen
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessenjutsu
In game there is an outfit that resembles the Guilty Gear character "Anji Mito" who uses Zessen Fans as his weapons i might go for it to bad there is only one set of fans :( (I have to many character ideas)

There is also some history behind the Kan Yu and Asura-hiken:
Kan Yu:
"This weapon is named after Guan Yu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yu). The shape of its blade is similar to the blade of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Dragon_Crescent_Blade)".
Asura-hiken:
"This weapon may be named after the Asura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asura), a group of supernatural beings in some religions."

yes there are a lot of PSU weapons with similar names to ancient japanese myths/legends
shi kikami - shikigami
masamunera - masamune
kusanagira - kusanagi blade
murasamera - murasame
i like how they add quite a few little "easter eggs" so to speak in some of the items/weapon names
