** That's nothing... the bad guy in ''Puni Puni Poemi'' spins his ''testicles'' in order to deflect Nabeshin's attack.
* Kenshiro manages to do this with ''nunchucks'' in an early chapter of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. Not only that, but he manages to deflect them in such a way so that they hit the guys who threw them in the first place. He's [[Badass|Kenshiro]], after all.
* Two decades before [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Aang]], Ranma from ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' spun a simple wooden staff to deflect fire. The difference is, Ranma is a normal human, was afflicted with a shiatsu point that increased his sensitivity to heat (even lukewarm water was painful,) and her ([[Gender Bender|at the time]]) hands weren't even singed. The next time he used a staff as a defensive measure, he explicitly blocked the attacks by swinging it instead of spinning it.
* Here's an example that actually makes sense in some regards: Joey in the sixth volume of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' spins around Yugi's Millennium Puzzle (which is on a string) to act as a shield against several yo-yo wielding thugs. It doesn't deflect them, but instead tangles them up, rendering them useless.
* Sui from ''Double Arts'' uses an iron ''hoop'', spinning it in a sphere-shaped shield around herself while she is curled up inside the 'shield'. How she avoids any form of dizziness (or even if she gets dizzy at all) is never addressed.
