Thrown Weapons and Minor Blades

Other than the usual weapons used gripped in a fighter's hands, there are weapons that are actually thrown at the enemy in hopes of either decapitation or the accurate blow to a vital spot. Thrown weapons like these may range in size too, from either very small to ensure precision or very large to ensure fatal damage. Throwing sticks actually are one of the first weapons used by humans/cultures around the world, and thrown items still remain as dependable weapons.

Kunai

 * Known User(s): Kasui Hideta
 * Former User(s): N/A

Information:  A kunai (苦無, kunai) is an ancient Japanese kind of gardening tool or trowel. Two variations are the short kunai (少苦無, shō-kunai) and the big kunai (大苦無, dai-kunai) It is a good example of a very basic tool which, in the hands of a martial arts expert, could be used as a multi-functional weapon. Contrary to popular belief, they were not designed to be used primarily as throwing weapons, though they can be thrown and cause damage. Like it's usual use, Hideta uses the shorter kunai as throwing knives, sometimes even engulfing them in flames before use. When the situation calls for it, he switches to twin dai-kunai for both an offensive and defensive style.

Moetatsuyou Ni Akai Kaze

 * Current Owner: Kamikaze Sakuki
 * Former Owner: ?
 * Type of Weapon: Boomerang/Kylie with slight alterations.

Information:  The Moetatsuyou Ni Akai Kaze (燃え立つヨニ赤い風 blazing red winds/flaming wind) is an oversized version of a boomerang with blades jutting from both curved ends. Normally a long distance weapon, with personal modifications Kamikaze Sakuki has adapted the boomerang for use in close-combat. Other than the Moetatsuyou Ni Akai Kaze, Sakuki actually wields several small versions of the boomerang for use as projectiles.

Unnamed Hachiwara

 * Current Owner: Bando Mei
 * Former Owner: Bando Motomi

Information: The Hachiwara (鉢割), or helmet breaker, is a type of blunt, knife-shaped weapon. This weapon usually merely carried as a side-arm, is most notably used to parry an opponent's sword or hook into an opponent's helmet. Bando Motomi owned one, which he used sparingly. Due to his discarding of weapons until his eventual atonement, he handed it to his sister, Mei, in hopes of her using it to defend herself when the time comes.

Aka

 * Current Owner: Adachi Sayaka
 * Former Owner: None. Created solely for her use.
 * Type of Weapon: Most likely a Tanto.

Information: Although she has never used it in battle yet, Adachi Sayaka also carries Aka (赤, lit. red) with her wherever she goes. There is not anything notable about the blade itself as of yet, but it is known that the blade seems normal, but the hilt is of a red color, similar to her Getsuruito sword. Nothing is special about it other than having a good short-range attack. However, it does lack defensive power.
