As ōdachi became useless, it was often replaced with a tachi and katana. Furthermore, from the Sengoku period in the latter part of the Muromachi period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period, as tactics shifted to fighting with yari and tanegashima (guns) by a large group of infantry, ōdachi became even more obsolete. However, infantry units gradually came to be equipped with yari (spears) in addition to naginata, and because ōdachi was disadvantageous for mountain battles and surprise attacks, and only a few powerful men could use it effectively, this trend ended for a short time. Large naginata and kanabō were also popular in this period. In the case of ōdachi whose blade was 150 cm long, it was impossible to draw a sword from the scabbard on the waist, so people carried it on their back or had their servants carry it. The reason for this is thought to be that the conditions for making a practical large-sized sword were established due to the nationwide spread of strong and sharp swords of the Sōshū school. In the Nanboku-chō period in the 14th century, huge Japanese swords such as ōdachi were at their peak. The Kamakura period was the first time that samurai ruled Japan, and powerful men were valued, and those who wanted to show off the honor of being a warrior preferred to use ōdachi. Until then, they mainly used naginata with a long handle, but they also started to use ōdachi. Until the middle of the Kamakura period, high-ranking samurai mainly fought on horseback with yumi (bows), but as group battles by foot soldiers increased from the late Kamakura period, the importance of weapons possessed by those who did not have horses and did not have sufficient training in bows increased. Ōdachi became popular in Kamakura period (1185-1333). The kanji spelling is an example of jukujikun, applying a semantically based kanji spelling without regard to the usual phonetic values of the characters. The word tachi itself is derived as the stem or noun form of verb tatsu ( 断つ, "to cut off"). The second character in tachi, 刀, is the Chinese character for " blade" (see also dāo), and is also the same character used to spell katana (刀) and the tō in nihontō (日本刀 "Japanese sword"). The dachi here ( 太刀) is simply the voiced compounding version of the term tachi ( 太刀, great sword), the older style of sword that predates the katana.
