Tuxedo Mask has a supply of roses, that when thrown, can pierce anything. Pretty cool, yeah? Too bad he uses these things just so he can give a pep talk to the Senshi before disappearing. This is a weird anime weapon.

Let’s get literal, fam. This is why we have anime.

Let me preface by saying that scythe-type weapons do exist – the Chinese “Ge” and the Japanese “Kusarigama.” They look nothing like the scythes anime popularized.

The ones in anime are larger versions of farming scythes. Normal scythes are heavy and have a sharp curve, which is perfect for cutting wheat, but not that useful when fighting a human. Anime scythes are even bigger and have an exaggerated curve. The users would be better off with a mace. This is one of the most unconventional anime weapons.

The favored weapon of assassins has to be the razor floss. This thin material is waved around and has the ability to slice through anything. Too bad that’s not how razor line is used in real combat.

Razor floss is a trap weapon. It can easily decapitate a speeding motorist, or it can be used in trench warfare to slow advancing troops. Sadly, you won’t see anyone swinging this floss around to slay their enemies.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will turn anything into a deadly weapon, but I’m totally biased towards Caesar’s bubbles. Those things would really sting your eyes.

Saiga can make anyone explode just by taking their picture. It all works out, trust me.

Just how much blood would you have to lose shooting blood bullets?, How much iron would you need in your body to summon a decent sword? Who cares, at least it looks cool. If there’s an unconventional anime weapon, then this is it.

The most notable appearances of these things are in Kill la Kill, Akame ga Kill!, and Gatchaman Crowds. Anime doesn’t care about the killing power of normal scissors, you have to go bigger.

It’s a 300 pound, cross shaped gun! The thing has to be unwieldy, but it wins from a design perspective.

Panties turn to guns and stockings turn to swords.

A spoon.

At least they squirt water at enemies? Tokyo Mew Mew features a lot of mundane objects being used as weapons. It’s pretty impressive.

These weapons may be real, but they look suspiciously erect when grasped that way.
