#Terraria yoyo series

Bakuen Campus Guardress: One of the characters fights with a kendama.Even the small plastic modern yo-yos, in the hands of a small child, can, and sometimes will, cause major harm to anyone and anything in the yo-yo's vicinity without the need of any magic or special training at all. It's also no joke that some yo-yo toys, from the traditional Chinese yo-yo to modern metal, weighted ones, can cause serious injuries purely by accident. The mundane yo-yo makes a cute and fancy stand-in for these types of weapons. The legend may stem partially from the fact that as a weapon, the yo-yo bears a resemblance to a few hunting tools and weapons such as the Chinese meteor-hammer, the Argentinian bolas, and the maritime slungshot.

Whether it's true or not, if you see a yo-yo in a series with combat, particularly in an anime or video game and particularly in the hands of a young child, it's a safe bet that it will be slung with deadly intent and accuracy. Historians attribute the legend to Filipino hero Jose Rizal, who claimed it either as a joke or a fun, creative story - he used to carve and play with yo-yos while traveling on ships, and founded a massively successful company the produced and sold yo-yos in the United States, which generated a mass yo-yo craze that lasted even throughout The Great Depression. note There is no historical evidence of this. According to legend, the ancient, simple child's toy known as the yo-yo took on use as a deadly weapon in the hands of Filipino tribesmen centuries ago.
