Weird Weapons

Can you think of any weird weapons found in anime? I don't mean attacks or daily objects used in battle, I mean weapons that both look and are used weirdly.

The strangest weapons I've seen are Sango's (Inuyasha) Hiraikotsu, a giant boomerang made of demon bones, and Shigure's (Yu Yu Hakusho) ring sword thing, Rinka Enreki-to.

So, can any of you list any other bizarre weapons? If you find it hard to describe what it is, you can attach a picture.

Well, in episode 2 of Excel Saga, not only do they intoduce futon-beater-wielding-Puchuu's (martians?), but Excel also uses an odd yet VERY powerful gun that she stuck her hand in.

Try to dodge THIS weapon of mass destruction!

I know I already posted this, but I couldn't help myself!

Otohiko's version was better.

There were different versions? I thought that was an actual screencap from the series...

How about the Nebraska family from Trigun. Two of them are like human cannonballs, the mother is a huge creature that throws them like shotputs, one of the brothers has a gun thing for an arm.

There are a couple of anime where a character fights with a yo-yo. "Sukeban Deka" is the only one I can think of right now.

Then there's Eatman who "grows" weapons out of his arm.

YYH: The younger Toguro brother uses the older Toguro brother (the older brother transforms) as a weapon, in combination with his own power.

There were a couple of demons in the Dark Tournament saga of YYH that used unusual weapons, one demon had a blade that grew out of his arm, another used a blade made of ice, another used yo-yo's. Not really weird-looking, just used weirdly. Yeah, and that dang Rose Whip.

FLCL: Haruko uses guitars, but she had one with some sort of chain saw motor. I know, these are mainly everyday objects used as weapons.

Oh, in Pretear, Himeno 'prets' (joins bodies in a way) with the Leafe Knights to become a weapon herself.

No, Actually I think when your base guitar has a shotgun in it, it's fairly unusual..

Two of the weirdest weapons I can recall are either the convinience store owner in The Ultimate Teacher who kills people with a roll of 50-yen coins (he flicks the top coin of the roll with his thumb so hard that it goes through people) or Kaoru's weapon from Flame of Recca, the Kougan-anki, which represents the Element of Void (unfortunately they never got around to animating the coolness of it's sixth form, Mu, in the anime. I think a weapon of nothingness that can make it's sections appear anywhere it's wielder wants is pretty freaking awesome). Anybody who fights with a spear that can turn into a giant pair of scissors or a bow and arrow is cool.
