I just would like to point out the person using both hands to hold a sword is Jaune, who was going through a particularly bad moment of *forgot how to fight*. No he wasn't. He was just angry. And in fact this latter fact makes Cinder's display of strength even better.

See, Jaune may not be the strongest character ever, but he still has a good amount of strength, and his weapon was in 2-handed Sword mode, where the blade it's much heavier and the swings, while slower, are stronger, helped by the fact that since he's holding it with both hands, he's applying far more force as he holds and swings it.

And since he was angry, he was applying even more force and strength into it, like angry people do while angry.

And yet Cinder still blocked it with 1 hand, with no problems whatsoever.

"Forgot how to fight" is not the case here with Jaune at all. Meanwhile, what is the case is how Cinder had no problems blocking Jaune's sword with just 1 hand and a sword made of glass.

Had Crocea Mors been in 1-handed form then sure, it wouldn't be impressive. But it wasn't.
