I love that almost all civilizations have a weapon thats basically "if i cant cut through or penetrate my enemy's armor i will turn whatevers beneath it into juice."
Commission for :iconInksAplenty: of Arsenal, the garishly dressed but nevertheless fearsome Arsenal and her signature Kanabo.
Here, she's ready to split some heads on the streets of Shinjuku!
This burly Oni Kanabo is a large Japanese war club that will surely smash and shatter asunder virtually any target. Beastly in its proportions, large Kanabo such as this are often depicted as the weapon of choice for the monstrously muscled mountain beasts and Oni demons in Japanese folklore. With one in hand you can surely see why such a fiercely-armed opponent could crush even the most well-armored of Samurai and heroes with a single almighty blow. Crafted from robust Red Oak, this powerful Tetsubo / Kanabo has its already impressive demolition abilities further heightened by festooning it with numerous antiqued steel studs. A long grip wrapped in black cord gives its bearer good leverage for delivering a shield-splintering strike!
These clubs are hand-made in the USA by the Vulcanix team. As with any hand-made item, there will be some imperfections similar to what you see in the photos.
Brother-in-law commissioned a kanabo for a recurring NPC, and I was excited for the challenge. Kanabo are possibly my favourite melee weapons of all time. Between the rounded pommell, the studs, and the octagonal shape, this baby took a LOT of work and planning to execute, and I'm still ridiculously proud of the result.
The main shape of the weapon is thanks to using strips of camp foam beveled on one side to create the shape, atop the pipe and insulation. She's a heavy gal because of it, but it encourages you to swing her big and lumbering, like a kanabo should be. The studs are also camp foam. Bastard length.
(Weapon constructed of 3/4" pvc, 5/8" wall pipe insulation, 3/8" camp foam, upholstery foam, duct tape, electrical tape, and friction tape on the grip.)
a couple of the characters that oppose the main party are poc so inevitably you get white fans posting violent tweets about them but preface it with “man” or “twink”. maybe this is to be expected of a series inspired by tolkien works
Not sure if this is cringy enough, but...a compilation of the burps/belches in TMNT 2003 (or broken up by season)? Given that they're ALL done by Leo's VA, I'm kind of curious just how many there were... O.o
Oh goodness, a full "TMNT 2003 burp compilation" would definitely take time to make just because there are 155 episodes to go through across seven seasons to find each and every one of them. For the time being, take this clip from "The Freaks Come Out at Night" because we got all four turtles burping + Cody.
