The Sickle and Chain, or Kusarigama (鎖鎌) is a japanese weapon composed by a long chain tipped with an iron weigth on one side and a kama (rice sickle) on the other one. It's used with both hands, one holding the sickle and the other for spinning the chain. This weapon has many uses and can be used at any range: at distance, it becomes a flail, capable of smashing the opponent, while the chain can be used to trap the enemy's sword or entangle the opponent itself, who's then dragged to the ground and finished off with the sickle. If the enemy gets too close, the sickle can be used to hack him to pieces. Finally, thanks to the chain, an expert user can hit from anywhere at any time. The Kasanemanji School is focused on this weapon and its variants, known as "Deadly Weapons" (卍卍流武凶具 Kasanemanji Ryuu Takekyougu).
