Line 28:
* 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 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
** 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,
** 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 - although the latter actually is canon) that many of the ''[[Ranma ½]]'' video games actually give her a huge wooden mallet as a legitimate attack.
** In its first appearance in the [[Ranma ½: The Abridged Chronicles|abridged series]], Kodachi [[Calling Your Attacks|calls out "Hyperspace mallet!"]] as she attacks with it.
* Shinobu and others in ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''.
Line 41:
** Made better by the fact that you see it materialize as if Transported in on occasion.
** Amy is a rare character who actually fully utilises her hammer against her enemies rather than just punishing friends.
* Sunako in ''[[The Wallflower]]'' has the ability to materialise a [[The Grim Reaper|Grim Reaper's]] scythe in times of... fragile sanity. It isn't metaphorical, either;
** This is apparently a genetic trait, as Sunako's father also materialises a wooden sword in a lightning bolt when he is angry.
* Carerra Marker from ''[[Karin]]'' manifests her deadly slipper from hyperspace, complete with [[Battle Aura]].
** A better example is when Winner pulls out a spear taller than himself while proclaiming his intent to protect Karin. Lampshaded when she replies "....Where did you get that from?"
* A variation in ''[[Love Hina]]'', Episode 18; Sarah MacDougal, who has a history of throwing and/or breaking pottery, does so this time by seemingly pulling them out of nowhere.
* Vita, from the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' series, wields one of the few non-comedic Hyperspace Mallets
* ''[[One Piece]]'', in Usopp's fight against Mr. 4 he uses a gigantic hammer. But it turns out that the hammer is actually fake and can collapse for storage.
** In a straighter example of the trope, one of Whitebeard's commanders can pull a giant hammer out of a small compartment in his chin.
* Misty used such a mallet in a few occasions in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', especially on [[Chivalrous Pervert|Brock]]. She seems to be particularly talented, as she once even produced a gong to wake Ash and Pikachu up.
** In the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga, the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc main character Gold can conjure a billiards stick out of seemingly nowhere, despite the fact that it looks about as tall as he is.
*** It's shown to be retractable. Yellow's fishing rod, on the other hand...
** Jessie has also pulled mallets out of hyperspace, as well as frying pans.
** The unnamed TV reporter from ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventures'' pulled one out when she was aggravated with Hareta; however, the entire gag was that he was popping out of holes in the ground like a game of Whack-A-Mole.
{{quote|'''Cameraman:''' W-what are you carrying ''that'' around for?}}
* Kaname from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' often uses a hyperspace [[Paper Fan of Doom]] to punish Sousuke. (Actually, she can sometimes be seen
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' apparently uses this several times:
** Reborn's shape-shifting chameleon turns into a mallet which he hits people with (most notably Tsuna and Lambo) when they don't answer his questions correctly, or when he's technically annoyed with them.
Line 65:
** Tsubaki also attacked Black*Star with shurikens to the forehead in early chapters/episodes.
* Guchuko, the feral mochi-mochi in ''[[Potemayo]]'', has a portal into hammerspace inside her pants. She keeps her axe in there, for one thing, but at other times she variously keeps a snake and a pile of corn cobs. That may have been how she transported the carcass of a cow into Kyo's yard. (Quite a feat considering that Guchuko is about the size of a cat.)
* ''[[Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'' characters seem to love this one, most often with [[The Idiot From Osaka|Sakuya]] pulling out her paper fan to smack people. Nagi pulls out a spiked hammer when Hayate annoys her.
** Although not a hammer, Hinagiku pulls her borrowed wooden sword out of nowhere. Sometimes this even surprises her. This was explained and is a plot point, while the Sakuya and Nagi examples are played for laughs.
* King Dedede in the
▲* King Dedede in the [[Kirby]] [[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|anime]] often hits Kirby or Escargon with a Mallet. Kirby even gets hit in the opening!
