Shinobi Prosthetic: Kuru-Kiru

sketchfab

A weapon I designed for the Prosthetic Art Challenge by VaatiVidya on Youtube. The Kuru-Kiru, also known as Spring-loaded War Fans A ranged device designed to swiftly close the distance between the target. When launched, the adjoined fans create a whiplash effect, cutting consecutively which causes heavy bleeding. The momentum caused by the steel fans affect the user, carrying them swiftly forward. Utilizing this device, a shinobi can perform farther plunging takedowns.

When coming up with the weapon idea, I was thinking of what weapons are already in the game, and what I could come up with that would differ from those. With that in mind, I wanted to make a gap-closer which could also serve to attack, and add something to the stealth gameplay.
