The Tekkan and Hachiwari remind me of warhammers and claymores that were used against armored opponents in European warfare. It seems once you rely on armor someone has to always figure out a way to deal with it. In Europe, it was the "spam in a can" approach that won out. The hachiwari looks more like a "peel the shell" approach. Either way it seems to be an effective approach.
