75 UK has a weirdly disproportionate amount of Japanese weapons banned. 5 types of them (in comparisan to no other foreign weapon) and now they are banning a 6th type "ninja swords". Feels like they are scared of ninjas or anime cosplayers (media.kotakuinaction2.win) posted 4 days ago by Telia 4 days ago by Telia +78 / -3 26 comments download share 26 comments share download save hide report block hide replies

Kusari
kusarigama
Shuriken
Kyoketsu shoge
and now they recently banned ninja sword
All ninja weapons
Uk has a ninja phobia
(Kubotan is not a ninja weapon but it was invented by a Japanese American for self defence. )
At least smoke bombs and grappling hooks are legal for now
Interestingly, their definition for "shuriken" doesn't cover the classic straight-blade or spike shurikens.
