There’s a trick to it. Step one: Be fictional. Step two: Have an author/creator who thinks that your death-yoyo is cool instead of stupid and makes it look like it actually can work in real life.
Seriously, a death-yoyo is a terrible idea because it depends on someone being able to; 1) throw a bladed projectile at someone accurately with a wire trailing off of it, 2) have the wire not get caught on anything, snap from tensile failure or get cut by the death-yoyo itself, 3) have the death-yoyo not get stuck in anything too firmly to be yanked back out again with a pull on the wire, 4) be able to catch that bladed projectile somehow without damaging themself, 5) somehow not destroy the blades of the death-yoyo by hitting things with it or by catching it.
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t manage to reliably avoid any of those five obvious problems with a death-yoyo were I to try to seriously operate one. This makes it something that only exists in James Bond movies and other magical, fantasy worlds as anything other than a jackass stunt.
Heh. It’s a funny coincidence that this week’s episode of Hunter X Hunter featured super heavy yoyos as weapons.
Considering that the Yoyo was originally designed as a weapon, it’s probably not impossible to wield a bladed yoyo.
It’s just very risky.
I now need a Silver Fox laugh track or soundtrack. Because I can see him trancending the screen in ways that none would expect.
Yoyo’s are awesome. Just not the most practical weapon.
And really? Id never imagine that you hadnt already watched every Mel Brooks film.
