[[Hammerspace|It comes from nowhere]], it strikes without mercy, and disappears again. It's a mallet the size of a circus sledgehammer, and it's evidence that [[Anime]] characters watch too many [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoons or [[Three Stooges]] shorts. An angry character -- usually but not restricted to [[Tsundere|short-tempered schoolgirls]] -- can often whip out a massive hammer with which to slam the target (and cause) of her ire.
 
In [[Fanfic]] circles, the notional storage place for mallets when not in use is known as "[[Hammerspace]]" or "malletspace".

* In the ''[[GURPS]]'' anime universe, one of the character abilities is the non-damage-dealing ten-ton hammer that can be pulled out of nowhere. It is ONLY available for female characters.
* ''[[Maid RPG]]'', the game with its roots deep in anime, has "Weapon From Nowhere" as one of Maid Powers. It allows a surprise attack (the target is denied an opposed roll).
