Tatsumi Saiga Explodes Objects With His Camera In 'Speed Grapher'
[ranking: 10]
Tatsumi Saiga, a photojournalist with a history as a war correspondent, prefers a camera as his weapon of choice. But Saiga fights more than political battles using the power of journalism: he actually kills people with the camera itself.
When he photographs someone, they straight-up explode. A mysterious "goddess" blesses him with this power after picking up on his inner sadism??as a war correspondent, Saiga relished watching people die.
Haruko Haruhara's Guitar Can Open Up N.O. Channels In 'FLCL'
[ranking: 3]
As a weapon, Haruko Haruhara's Rickenbacker 4001 has one obvious use: to beat people over the head. This happens to Naota more than once. However, the guitar is more than simply a physical weapon, and goes far beyond sound or music.
The Rickenbacker 4001 opens up N.O. channels, which summon anyone and anything from light years away. Naota's head acts as one such channel, which leads to further guitar-based abuse for the poor kid.

Light Yagami Hands Out Heart Attacks Via A Notebook In 'Death Note'
[ranking: 6]
Scenes in Death Note portray the way Light Yagami kills people as dramatically as any ninja or mech battle, even though all he does is write his victims' names in a notebook (the Death Note). Anyone whose name gets written in the Death Note dies according to the writer's instructions.
If the writer fails to specify a method, the victim dies of a heart attack, but the Death Note can produce illness, accidents, force people to commit suicide, and more. To successfully kill the chosen person, the writer also must know their face and their name. This helps avoid wiping out everyone on earth named John Smith. Journaling never felt quite so thrilling.

Gon Freecss Rocks A Fishing Pole In 'Hunter x Hunter'
[ranking: 7]
Although this weapon gets a bit neglected in favor of Nen-based attacks, the fishing rod Gon Freecss uses at the beginning of Hunter x Hunter is pretty actually pretty awesome.
More than a means to fish, the rod pole can be swung with astonishing accuracy, catching his opponents and holding them in place. He can also use it to lift heavy objects and throw them.

Retsu Unohana's Zanpakuto Turns Into A Giant Flying Manta Ray (And Then Into A Bloody Destroyer) In 'Bleach'
[ranking: 5]
The Zanpakut??s of Bleach all come in a variety of shapes and functions, but Captain Retsu Unohana's Shikai form stands among the strangest (if one of the most useful). Rather than turn into a modified blade or weapon, her blade, Minazuki, turns into a giant green manta ray-like creature.
Not only does it provide a form of transportation, Minazuki can also store the wounded in its stomach, which contains pools of healing ointments and salves. Yet in Bankai form, Minazuki transforms back into a standard katana which literally produces bloodspatter from its blade. It is sturdy enough for battle and is capable of causing anyone within its vicinity to start to decay. Few weapons in anime possess such bizarre and wide range of effects as Minazuki.
Kagura's Umbrella Is Secretly A Machine Gun In 'Gintama'
[ranking: 2]
Following in the footsteps of the rest of the Yato Clan, Kagura is a master with her parasol. Normally, she uses it to block out the sun, but the time comes to fight, the item boasts plenty of other uses.
Kagura can use it to block other people's attacks as well as spray bullets like a sub-machine gun. Her weapon's ordinary appearance, combined with her own unassuming demeanor, often leads enemies to underestimate Kagura at their own peril.
