Scythe
The Scythe is a Soul Reaper/Arrancar weapon in VV: Ultimatum with Very Long range, 15 damage and 14 posture damage at Slow speed, and a riposte-capable critical on a short 6-second cooldown.
The Scythe is the mid-heavy sweeper of the Soul Reaper and Arrancar arsenals: solid 15 damage and 14 posture damage per hit delivered at Very Long range, letting it contest space that shorter mid-weight weapons cannot reach.
Its tempo profile is Slow attack speed with Long attack duration - each sweep is a real commitment - and its stun on hit is only Average, so it grants less follow-up time than other weapons in its weight class. What compensates is the critical: riposte-capable and recharging every 6 seconds, among the fastest documented critical cooldowns, so the Scythe player gets to answer parried opponents with a heavy punish nearly every exchange.
The weapon is tagged 'SR/A' in community documentation, indicating Soul Reaper and Arrancar availability, and skin variants for both factions are captured. Practically, the Scythe suits players who fight at the edge of range and build their offense around the parry-riposte loop rather than raw hit-trading.
