Just because a design is ahistorical and unconventional doesn't automatically mean it wouldn't work. Here are a few examples that wouldn't need too much modification to make them practical in real life.
The spears and other polearms we're talking about here (the naginata is the only battle-ready one, the others are made for decoration or cosplay):
King's Chastiefol from The Seven Deadly Sins

Scáthach's Gáe Bolg from Fate/Stay Night

Baal's Engulfing Lightning from Genshin Impact (foam version)
