To be honest, it's not similar to anything, a weapon like this doesn't and couldn't viably exist in reality. The big issue is that her Scythe is in so many parts that to make it viably strong it must weigh more than Ruby does, but that's not the issue. The existence of Scythes in combat, from the straigth war scythe to the more compact kama is well documented. Using a scythe that was made for reaping is impractical, that video is quite correct, but Crescent Rose possesses none of the traits that made it impractical in combat, so your point on it is already disproven. If you want to comment on how its constructed being heavy as balls and unrealistically unwielded for a 15 year old pixie of a girl, then by alll means, but straight practicality doesn't exist in a world where literal magic is a thing.

Impracticality exists in remnant too. Like if I tapped a gun to my balls and soldered the trigger to a pressure sensitive explosive it would be impractical. Hooking your little gun around the neck of someone with another weapon that is likely a gun's neck is impractical because the will already have their gun-gun up your ass and pulling the trigger.
