Hyperspace Mallet: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* Kaori in ''[[City Hunter]]''; She pulls an over 100t iron hammer out of nowhere to beat Ryo up. In the alternate timeline of ''[[Angel Heart (manga)|Angel Heart]]'', Shanin picks up this ability from Kaori's heart inside her. We later find that Kaori's sister can also do it.

** In one of the anime episodes, Kaori is shown to have purchased a new hammer at a boutique before the action of the episode started.

* ''[[~~Ranma One Half|~~Ranma ½]]'' uses it on occasion. [[Fanon]] makes it far more prominent and always has Akane Tendo to be the one to use it; this actually varies depending on continuity. In the anime, Akane only uses a hammer four times: the 3rd and 5th season episodes "Ryoga's Miracle Cure!" and "Into the Darkness" respectively, the OAV "Team Ranma Vs. The Legendary Phoenix", and the 1st movie "Big Trouble in Nekonron, China". It's only slightly more prominent in the manga, and just about everyone has used it, from Kodachi (the first person to wield it) to Soun Tendo to Happosai to Ranma Saotome himself.

** In the manga Akane most frequently uses her fists, samurai weaponry such as shinai and bokken, or usually any blunt object at hand. She doesn't really use a mallet more than anyone else.

** In the manga, Ranma actually uses one too -- on Ryoga, when this one is trying to get rid of a powerful, yet shameful painting on his tummy.

** So pervasive and insidious is the view that Akane is a "hammer girl" (the "[[Weapon of Choice]]" kind, not the "[[Super Drowning Skills|No Natural Buoyancy]]" kind) that many of the ''[[~~Ranma One Half|~~Ranma ½]]'' video games actually give her a huge wooden mallet as a legitimate attack.

** In its first appearance in the [[Ranma Abridged|abridged series]], Kodachi [[Calling Your Attacks|calls out "Hyperspace mallet!"]] as she attacks with it.

* Shinobu and others in ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
