tags laser_sword, plasma_sword, beam_saber, and energy_sword seem all the same, with the latter being the most established and even has a wiki page.

unless if some of these tags are series-specific, i intend to put them together under energy_sword.

meanwhile, lightsaber seems to be a specific type of energy_sword.

any thoughts? thanks.

I'd be up for using energy_sword as the base but keeping lightsaber (implicating energy_sword) for it being such a well known subtype.

beam saber IIRC is a Gundam-related terminology; IMO it can fall under energy sword.
