An intense episode -- partly because every member of the supporting cast has something to do -- "This is Your Sword" serves as an exciting lead-in to the season finale.

"This is Your Sword," another strong installment of Arrow, focuses primarily on the scars Team Arrow incurred during their confrontation with Al Sah-Him last week. Go to Full Review Jenny Raftery New York Magazine/Vulture 08/02/2018

Arrow may not reach the levels of meta awareness of its cheerier sibling show, The Flash, but there are moments of levity throughout "This Is Your Sword" that speak to the writers' understanding of the audience's perspective. Go to Full Review Constance Gibbs The Nerds of Color 04/07/2020
This is Your Sword" was another mixed bag of an episode. It had a lot of great moments, but as I've been saying in the recaps recently, the overall stakes don't make any sense. The audience is steps ahead of the characters... Go to Full Review Kyle Anderson Nerdist 08/08/2018

7.6/10
There was still drama in other forms, including Diggle's rage at his former friend and the heartfelt, tragic reunion between Maseo and Tatsu. But the show lost some momentum this week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
