Improbable Weapon User: Difference between revisions

** Yo-yos are just the beginning. If you're a ''[[Delinquents|sukeban]]'', you've got to have a "signature" weapon. Examples include bicycle chains, cup-and-ball toys, bamboo umbrellas, guitar picks (shuriken style), billiard balls, and even a bowling ball carried by one really enormous schoolgirl.

* ''[[Read or Die]]''. Some people use paper fans. And then there's Yomiko Readman, who uses just plain paper.

* Nicholas D. Wolfwood, the secondary hero in the Anime/Manga ''[[Trigun]]'' could be seen as the king of the unusual weapons. He, a gun-toting, hard-drinking (apparently Catholic) priest, uses a cross called "The Punisher" as his signature weapon. A cross six feet tall, three feet wide and made of steel. The common version of the cross has one of the "arms" housing six automatic pistols on a rack, the "foot" housing a machine gun that would fit on a helicopter, the other "arm" holding ammo for this gun, and the "head" holding a recoilless anti-tank missile launcher. It's heavy because "it's full of mercy(alternately, God's love)". Yeah, right.

** Nicholas's teacher {{spoiler|and Gung-Ho Guns mentor}}, Chapel the Evergreen, also wields a cross/weapon (which fans call "Neo-Punisher"). ''His'' splits into twin miniguns.

* When Griffith cuts Nosferatu Zodd's arm off in ''[[Berserk]]'', the Apostle picks it up and hits Guts with it so hard that he flies across the room. Then Zodd [[Healing Factor|reattaches it]].

* One of [[Enfant Terrible|Unzen Hyouri's]] [[Mook]]s in ''[[Medaka Box]]'' uses a bicycle as a weapon. However, that pales in comparison to Hyouri himself, who uses ''superballs.''
