I think that the author is playing with both concept, merging them in something new yet familiar-- Just how Anno mixed orthodox and realistic mecha anime. Or maybe he was just trolling. Which is likely, seeing how he intentionally set out to write something unfilmable, after all his various TV scripts were rejected.
Those are not "weapons" those are SWORDS XD Are you really implying that a sword is not a weapon?
Sometimes the "easier" option is not "wrong" just because it's simple. But assumptions are by definition unquestioning and baseless. Deciding that something is correct without backing it up with anything just because it's easier spells "lazy" and potentially leads to dangerous places.
Why are you so wary to the concept of "obvious" XD ? Because the bigger our knowledge, the less obvious things are - and the only way to expand our knowledge is to question the obvious.
I'm complaining about the fact that IT WORKS LIKE THAT, and it applies only to the father's line Blame the author for not thinking things through. Maybe they thought that red and dark brown is close enough, but blond and black is too different? Ah, who cares, they're all going to get killed sooner or later. XD
