Good luck to everyone planning on participating - may you have the time, inspiration, and energy you need. We should have one last deep dive before the week starts, so keep your eyes open!
Good luck. I know it will all be worth the wait.

Then we get a lovely arming scene as the Glaives gear up to rescue Luna, and Nyx is armed through the rest of the movie.
This seems a good place to stop, though, and continue with the major battles in another post.

Nyx doesn’t have his kukris while running back to his apartment or fastwalking in the Citadel to talk to Regis. He also is unarmed during his talk with the king.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
The Crownsguard members preparing for extra guard duty do appear, however, to be armed, either with the folding swords or some kind of taser.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
The next day, while on guard duty at the Citadel steps, Nyx is once again unarmed – perhaps that is another reason he might not have bothered with carrying his kukris when he was originally reporting for duty earlier.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
While on guard duty at the signing party, Nyx is again unarmed (perhaps because of the Emperor's presence) but Drautos has his sword, which might indicate special privileges or again that the animators just didn’t bother to make a model without the sword.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Nyx keeps his weapons when he leaves Luna’s side to check in with Drautos, but loses them sometime during the run to the morgue. Perhaps he ditched them for speed or to cause less panic from an armed Glaive running, or there's some sort of rule about being armed outdoors within the citadel district.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Nyx keeps his kukris as he escorts Luna into the throne room, perhaps because he is functioning as a guard for her, and perhaps because they just assume Regis (and presumably Clarus and any Crownsguard) should be able to handle himself as a Lucian king? Who knows.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
When they reach Luna, Drautos has the yoke and his sword on, and Nyx is now armed. Either Nyx keeps his kukri and sheathes in a sort of hammer space, or Drautos had already picked them up and had them all shoved in the back seat or trunk (imagine them wiggling into them beside the road, lol).
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
As Nyx prepares to report for duty at the Citadel, he swings on his jacket while clearly unarmed (likely wise on the street). Drautos picks him up in Noctis’s tiny car, and since he's not wearing his odd yoke thing, I hope he also has taken off his sword, because that seems uncomfortable.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
But when they assemble in the briefing room as Drautos commands, Nyx appears to be the only one (other than Drautos) still armed, which is very odd.
(Look, it's a bad quality still we know it's me, but it's not all my fault this time! Tredd is just out of focus in the shot; that's not on me!)
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
When he snaps out of it, he’s in his basic uniform but with both kukris. There are a few other glaives armed as they listen to the broadcast of the peace treaty, and a few others in battle uniforms, too, likely for training.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Then we switch to training, where – at least in his flashback – Nyx is fully suited up in his battle uniform, with both kukris. He tries to throw the Galahdan one but something fails, and so Nyx starts falling, dropping the Galahdan kukri as he falls.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Obviously, none of the glaives are armed at Yamachang’s, but we also don’t see where Nyx’s sheathes went. He has his jacket over his arm, but the belts and sheathes don’t seem to be there.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Nyx appears next on gate duty, where he is in his basic uniform (plus chain, as always) but has both his kukris in their sheaths. Petra appears to be unarmed, but perhaps has the same sort of folding sword as his fellows in the throne room at his side.
April 18, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Another interesting worldbuilding note that probably comes from saving money on extra models - the Crownsguard here are dressed the same as at the Gate, which is more like fatigues than anything as dressy as one might expect in a throne room. Make of that what you will.
