If anime does something correctly, it is to teach us how boring real-life weapons are.
Sure, regular 16th-century automatic rifles and katanas are going to get the job done, but wouldn’t you love to have something with more personality?
We have taken the time to create a list of anime weapons so out of this world that we would be terrified if they were used against us but excited if we were using them ourselves. Here is the list of the 10 most insane weapons in anime.
10. Haruko’s Electric Bass (FLCL)
Haruko Haruhara, an alien researcher with the Galactic Space Police Brotherhood, one day pays a visit to Mabuse to hunt down the powerful space pirate, Atomsk. With this in mind, you would think that he must have a truly terrifying weapon to deal with such a dangerous being.
Haruko’s famous blue bass, known to musicians as the Rickenbacker 4001, is a custom weapon that not only doubles as an ax, but can also fire bullets, rockets, and even open channels NO It even has a built-in motor installed in the back for every time you need extra potential.
Ah, I don’t know if I told you that it can be used to fly? When not in attack mode, the Rickenbacker 4001 can be used to play excellent bass solos. A good example of multi-use, right?
9. The Chamber of Saiga (Speed ​​Grapher)
After being granted extraordinary powers through Kagura, Saiga Tatsumi of Speed Grapher, and Nikon they have become a deadly duo.
With a simple click of the shutter, anything that gets in the way of the camera’s viewfinder will explode. Depending on what type of lens is equipped, this deadly SLR turns into what is essentially the equivalent of a sniper rifle or a launch rocket.
This special piece of equipment would be a war photographer’s dream; you can have all the excitement of being close to the action while having a suitable weapon to defend yourself, or even fight alongside the good guys! You just have to be careful not to take a picture of something you don’t want to blow up.
8. Ryuko’s Half Scissors (Kill La Kill)
A special weapon as deadly as its wielder, Ryuko’s scissor blade from Kill La Kill, is deadly in both form and function.
Blood-red in color and well-sharpened, this specialty blade is one-half of the legendary ripping scissors, a pair of scissors designed to cut even the strongest fibers of life. Thanks to this weapon’s special ability, Ryuko can easily cut through Goku uniforms, sending countless of these uniforms in the trash with ease.
When not needed for combat, this scissor blade can be reduced in size to a regular scissor, making it easy to carry and hide. We would love to have this weapon for all these reasons and more. You never know when a nemesis is going to use a Kamui in their next battle!
7. Hitagi’s Staplers (Bakemonogatari)
The common stapler never seemed like a deadly weapon to us. Aside from keeping a handful of important papers together, staplers have no other function … until Hitagi Senjougahara came along to prove otherwise.
Sure, you may think that using a stapler for self-defense is a bit weird, but if it can keep Araragi quiet, a guy who has superhuman vampiric abilities, then I guess it can’t be that weird, right?
When an apocalypse strikes and you want to find a place where you can get weapons to defend yourself, a trip to your local school supply store may not be the worst idea.
6. Ryoko Ookami’s Cat Gloves (Ookamisan and her Seven Companions)
Getting punched has never been more adorable than this. Ryouko’s boxing gloves are unique and specially designed to give tremendous beatings and embarrass your opponents because they are shaped like cute kittens.
Created by Majo San, these gloves look like a pair of adorable cats that, when they hit their target, send out a blast of electricity just like a stun gun and leave a small imprint of a kitten’s face where it has been hit. Perfect for when you need to go to the dangerous part of the city. Whoever tries to assault you will not know who hit him; he only suspected it was a cat.
5. The Monofilament Threads of Walter C. Dornez (Hellsing)
Sometimes the deadliest weapon on the battlefield is the one you can’t see.
You may be thinking that I’m talking about the psychological effect of war or biological weapons, possibly, but if you’re in Hellsing’s universe, you know exactly what I’m talking about: Walter C. Dornez’s translucent monofilament threads.
With the right strategy and precise technique, dozens of hungry vampires can be chopped into pieces with the simple pull of a string. Of course, you’re going to need a bit of practice before you acquire the same skill level as the beloved butler of the Hellsing family. Just be careful when you practice, because you can go wrong and end up without a finger.
4. Punisher by Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun)
The shape of the Holy Cross but three times the lethality, the Punisher of Wolfwood always changes the game.
With two machine guns in the front and a rocket launcher in the back, this Punisher is one of ten weapons just like her, so when you see them, you know how the mambo is going to dance from so much dodging you. Do you want to have something more portable? Punisher also stocks eight 2043 grade pistols for any occasion. No matter what your fighting style is, this blessed mega-weapon will have something for you. No wonder Vash needed her in his final battle against Knives!
3. Panty and Stocking
This weapon lacks the element of intimidation but passes on the element of surprise here: The Blacklace Brief from Panty and Stocking! Using metaphysics, the underwear is turned into a gun to fight ghosts, Back lace has many forms that are revealed depending on the person who gets their hands on it.
This ability gets much better when handled by a boy. When a boy uses Back lace; transforms into a pair of briefs that actually work and are shaped like a shotgun! With magic underwear that doubles as a pistol, you won’t have to fear any paranormal creatures anymore! Good luck finding one of these panties at your local store.
2. The Bustermarm Sword of Pantherlily (Fairy Tail)
If size were the most important thing on this list, the Bustermarm sword would be number one on our list. Without a doubt, this is probably the most disproportionate weapon in size in all of anime history.
According to the manga, this sword has the ability to cut through the Earth. If you ever want to destroy the land, the Bustermarm is for you. The only thing that can withstand the force of this weapon is Gajeel Redfox’s dragon’s iron scales. So as long as the enemy doesn’t have these scales, you don’t have to worry about a thing. That is if you can lift the Bustermarm sword, to begin with.
1. The Balls of Tanuki (Pom Poko)
This list was difficult to put in a coherent order and it can be debated whether from ten to two the order can be changed, but the number one here is undoubted.
Electric basses that launch rockets? Boxing gloves that discharge electricity? Yeah, those are all so cool and all but, above all those things, don’t you wish you had the ability to magically enlarge your testicles to use to fly, dodge bullets, and crush your enemies? The Tanukis of Pom Poko do all that so effectively that I get jealous. In order to repel the police who are trying to get them out of their forest home, these tanukis use their balls in a way that only I dare to dream for my own reasons.
Final words
