Also known as ''[[Ofuda]]''. These paper tags are used in [[Shinto]] and [[Onmyodo]] for purification and exorcisms or as wards. They are sometimes used with [[Shide]]
Taoists also use a version of the tags called ''[[Fu]]''. In [[Buddhism]] and [[Hinduism]] they are called ''[[Sutra
In [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] they can do anything, even [[Made of Explodium|explode]].
Line 19:
* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' - Kafuka overdoes it (in above picture) when she doesn't want the [[Hikikomori]] to leave her house.
** Also Kafuka [http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1325/szsflvsnapshot030820101.jpg uses the tags] during the [[Magical Girl]] spoof as a shoutout to [[Sailor Moon|Rei]].
* ''[[Negima]]'' - Setsuna is known to use ''[[Ofuda]]'', once used them protect the hotel from [[Onmyodo]] Shikigami <ref>
** [[Cold Sniper|Mana]] also uses a [[Teleportation]] ''[[Sutra]]'' vs [[Ninja|Kaede]] during the [[School Festival|Festival]] [[Arc]], apparently they cost 800,000 yen each ([[It Only Works Once|Single Use]]).
*** Kaede herself uses these in one of her stronger attacks. She throws [[Fuuma Shuriken]] (smaller than ''that'' one, though) to wrap chains around her opponent. Chains with ofuda dangling from the links. If you've seen the series below, you know what comes next...
Line 69:
** Starting in [[Samurai Warriors]] 2, Kanetsugu Naoe's weapon is a sword and a handful of spell-tags, which he mostly seem to use to shoot [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]...
* These are a major gameplay mechanic in ''[[Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja]]''. Talismans can be used directly to cast spells or stuck onto equipment to customize it.
* Reimu and Sanae, the resident [[Miko
** Several characters have ofudas as parts of their outfits: Mokou has them attached to her pants (possibly to make the pants [[Magic Pants|fireproof]]), [[Our Zombies Are Different|Yoshika]] has one on her hat (as a magically-raised zombie/ChineseVampire), and [[Cute Ghost Girl|Tojiko]] has her dress adorned with them (for no apparent reason).
* ''[[KiKi KaiKai]] ~ Nazo no Kuro Manto'' (a.k.a. ''Pocky and Rocky'') has player character Sayo-chan / Pocky, a [[Miko]] who uses ofuda as ranged weapons and an ō[[Zigzag Paper Tassel|nusa]] as a melee weapon.
