Gi'ichi

Cool shades and a composed manner are two of the things Giichi possesses. The third is a sickle attached to a chain. The sickle is hinged at about twelve o' clock, if one imagines the handle as being at six o' clock and the blade curving upwards clockwise from six to about five o'clock, and has a lock enabling Giichi to throw the sickle when open (it looks like an horizontally mirrored number '3') and have it snap shut around the neck of his opponent. A quick jerk of the chain is all that is left for a neat decapitation. While one could argue endlessly the force required to cut through bone, flesh and sinew and whether this weapon is realistic, I do not think anyone will oppose me when I state that the weapon is simply very very cool. As I write this, I have not seen Giichi reveal his purpose - so far he seems content to walk around as an ambulatory cool-guy-with-impressive-weapons-and-skills, but with less impressive clarity of purpose.
