The Yari is a mid-range weapon of the Samurai and is unlocked by completing the slice challenge is the Samurais arcade mode. Both its range and speed are superior to the naginata; however, it lacks stopping power and doesn't have very high chances of severing a limb or head.
In-Game Info[]
Ranging in length from 3.5 to 20 feet, the yari had a straight double-edged point. These stabbing weapons, while good for thrusting, were just as well-balanced for cutting and sweeping.
