I don't think he's going to take the blade at all. Remember this conversation?

TG: i thought about taking his sword
TG: when i was there
TG: but i couldnt
TG: couldnt really bring myself to try to pull it out it was too weird

I think he's going to break it, not take it out.

[JoshuaFH]

All of you people saying Strider is made of stone don't know what you're talking about.  Parse it out, read between the lines, remember who is he, remember how he's looked and talked when he's freaked out before.  Especially all of his "I'm no hero" business.  He "loved" his Bro the way one might any other hard parent, not affection but grudging respect.  And he's breaking down, because the guy he's always had to measure himself against, and always thought of as a larger-than-life badass even when he was filming puppet porn, bit the big one.  If he had the time to react, his sense of his own mortality would be fucking him up more than throwing his own corpse out a window did - he believe he's worthless, he believed Bro was invincible.

In case it isn't obvious yet, I love Dave, and I've spent an unhealthy amount of time thinking about what goes on inside the dude's head.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. I would like to present a possible comparison though that's trying to be made by Hussie. As dumb as this might sound:

Bro = Kamina

Dave = ?Simon?

I mean, Simon also wanted to live up to his brother, whom he viewed as amazing and invincible. He held his feelings in until a (I'm calling it here) emotional breakdown. I then predict that some serious growing up will occur and Dave will accept his own feelings and aspire to be as great as he can be.

Plus, another similarity is that Kamina and Bro are both fake brothers to their respective siblings. I just realized that.

He is secretly actually Oda.

[The Doctor]

Nein! He is und Pratchett-san clone!

 One day you will grow up

 you will grow up and realize that they are all the same person.

This is so true like you don't even believe.  The parallels are startling.

ButterflAizen.
Bec Noir.

Tell me they aren't similar in an astounding number of ways.

And that person is...


Spades Slick.

On the subject of kamina:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The horns are pretty bad, but still awesome.

And of course bro is kamina, have you ever looked at their glasses?

[FuzzyZergling]

Kamina is Bro's great great grandson, living under the Earth after the meteor strike turned the surface into a wasteland.
Beastmen are actually evolved carapace people.
Gunmen run off of sylladex technology.
Lordgenome is the Knight of Rage.

[Jim Groovester]

Speaking of breaking the sword, heh heh.

[ToonyMan]

There go his glasses.

[Soadreqm]

He he. He's clearly too used to dealing with cheap pieces of shit that break if you as much as look at them funny. The dream ghost of Bro is probably facepalming right now.

Assuming that guardians get dream ghosts. So far, the afterlife seems to be reserved exclusively for players.

[Shinziril]

Now that's a well-made sword.  Much better than the CHEAP PIECE OF SHIT Dave's used to.

[FuzzyZergling]

Too bad he'll never be able to alchemize with it.
I mean there is just not enough grist in existance to recreate the awesome that is Bro's Ninja Sword.
