This doesn’t sound like the Tarzan I know. Normally, Tarzan knows what’s coming up ahead of time and manages to free everyone before he gets involved in wanton killing.
As far as I remember the ‘Pike’ is the pointy bit, the pikestaff is the shaft, but more generally the pike as a weapon used by pikemen very very long and was for thrusting only, never for throwing. The relatively short weapons drawn here are spears not pikes.

The same guy that made shields, made drum heads.

What are the shields made of? Animal skins? Paper?Doesn’t look like metal to me.

Count me out on the “advancing eagerly”…I still deeply abhor fights to the death.

Considering the positions of T’s spear and the opponent’s shield in panel 2, panel 3 seems implausible.
