I think the reason for the odd placement was because Sabela's helmet design is supposed to be based off/referencing a musketeer's hat. Specifically the one with a feather plume, it's most commonly seen in movies or tv like The 3 Musketeers:


Except instead of a feather, Sabela's plume is actually a puff of smoke with the Noroshi suddenly coming out to stab you. Which honestly, I do kinda dig, if that was the reason for the odd placement.

Yeah the smoke feather's cool, but I still wish the blade was pointing up, with the smoke feather kind of wrapping around the base to still give the impression of the blade popping out of the smoke. Oh well it is what it is.
