Triple-Bladed Scythe


 * Name:
 * Wielder: Hidan
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 312
 * Debut (Anime): Shippūden Episode 71

The Triple-Bladed Scythe is the primary weapon of Akatsuki-member Hidan. Its main purpose is to aid him in collecting blood for his Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood ritual. Because of this, it is designed, not so much to kill the target, but to wound them, no matter how big or small the wound.

The three blades get smaller from top to bottom, giving the scythe a larger range, despite decreasing its lethality. The scythe is attached to a long metal cable, wound around two spools on Hidan's left hip. This cable is strong enough to block kunai and allows Hidan to further increase the scythe's range by swinging it through the air.

Due to its large size, Hidan claimed that it greatly inhibits his attack speed, and it makes him the slowest member in Akatsuki. Despite this, he is remarkably nimble in manipulating it, even being capable of using the scythe to deflect incoming shuriken.

The scythe can also split up and it has various other functions and gimmicks that were never shown.

The scythe's cable was destroyed when Shikamaru Nara threw a kunai with a Exploding tag at it, snapping the cord. The scythe itself was then abandoned when Shikamaru forced Hidan to drop it and leave the area via the Shadow Imitation Technique.
