OF THEM in his [[LimitBreak Demon Flurry LFB]]!

* [[HugeSchoolGirl Kaede Nagase]] from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has probably the biggest one (comparative size to the wielder) on record.[[note]]look to the right.[[/note]] If you took each blade of this cross-shaped weapon and stuck them on hilts, you'd have four {{BFS}}. The outrageous size is offset by the fact that she can [[SpinToDeflectStuff use it as a shield]], but she also tends to pull it from [[{{Hammerspace}} Highlanderspace]]. There are notes in some side material that indicate that the individual blades do indeed break apart for easier storage, but it's still way too big to hide like she does. Later in the series she gains a Pactio artifact that is basically {{hammerspace}} and makes storing the shuriken more plausible.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[RetractableWeapon Luckily it folds up for easy storage]].]]

* One of the weapons in ''VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry'' are a pair of angelic blades known as Aquila.

* Tsubaki from ''Manga/SoulEater'' can transform into one.

* UsefulNotes/SarutobiSasuke dual-wields these in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''.
** It also stars Fuuma Kotaro, who can be considered a TropeNamer (and whose shuriken is much bigger than Sasuke's). Although he doesn't use the shuriken outside the games (though a keen-eyed viewer may notice him standing on it in his first appearance in the anime as Hojo Ujimasa introduces him).
* In ''VideoGame/ShounenKinindenTsumuji'' Tsumuji's main weapon is a large fuuma shuriken which is called Wind Demon.

* Lu Bu of ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' wields a version of this called Crossed Pikes in the sixth game. It can also [[BifurcatedWeapon split into two]] {{Double Weapon}}s.
** His daughter, [[DaddysLittleVillain Lu Lingqi]] uses the same type of Crossed Pikes (with the ''6'' version moveset with some additions) in ''DW: Xtreme Legends 8'' as a ContinuityNod, since her dad got his traditional Halberd back since 7.
* ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}} 2'' introduces these as the primary ranged weapon of the [[TheGreys Vahnatai]] (although it refers to them as "razordisks.") They're uncommon, expensive, and non-reusable, but they make up for it with ''incredible'' base damage.
* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' Adventure Mode, [[DeadlyDisc a large serrated disc]] left around an abandoned Fortress (usually used for traps) can be picked up and throw around like one of these. In Fortress Mode, the same effect can be achieved by loading a minecart with them, accelerating it to relativistic velocities, then inducing a crash; this will turn pretty much anything it hits into puree.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Kubikiri]] [[note]]lit. "neck slicer"[[/note]] [[CameBackWrong Basara]] from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' is armed with a large three-bladed shuriken connected to his gauntlet with a long chain, allowing him to catch it back when its thrown.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'', Painwheel's Buer Drive effectively serves this purpose.
* ''VideoGame/GrandChase'' has the [[{{Mon}} pet Ninkoro]] who attacks with one of these. Later the resident {{Ninja}}, [[GenderBlenderName Lass]], also gained it as a optional SpecialAttack, oddly named "Hornet Sting" for whatever reason.
* ''VideoGame/GotchaForce'' features the aptly-named Shuriken Ninja, who has one of these strapped to his back. He uses it in two ways -- if using his standard melee combo, he somersaults and hits with it a few times as the last hit of the combo. If you use his special dashing attack, he flings himself in a horizontal line, spinning the entire time. The latter is useful as a rapid multi-hit combo and as it's somehow immune to gravity while spinning. Slightly subverted in that the Ninja in question is the size of an action figure: it's huge to HIM, but...
* The second character in ''Kung Fu Chivalry'' for the Mac has this for a special attack.
* One of the Ninja class' two primary weapons in ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline''. It can be thrown with the powerful Throw Fuuma Shuriken skill, or used a melee weapon.

* The night elves of ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' fame use huge multi-bladed weapons known as glaives. In a vain attempt at quasi-realism, they're mostly used in melee combat or thrown a very short range (the original users, Huntresses, were technically ranged but in all ways were used and intended as the elves' primary melee combatants). The exception is when they're attached to Glaive Throwers, ballista-like siege engines. Their special ability? Linear splash damage, meaning that the blade cleaves through the first victim and just keeps going.
* In ''VideoGame/MysticWarriors'', one MiniBoss wields a Fuuma Shuriken as a slow-moving PrecisionGuidedBoomerang.
* In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', Alucard can throw Cross Shuriken and the massive Buffalo Star at enemies. He also has the slightly smaller, but even more damaging Flame Stars.
* One of the weapons in ''VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry'' are a pair of angelic blades known as Aquila.

A ''shuriken'' (throwing star) which is really, really big. ''Fuuma'' literally translates as "wind demon" and is taken from the name of a famous {{Ninja}} clan. Mostly used by ninja for thematic purposes, [[HighlyVisibleNinja despite it having lost the quality which made it useful to them in the first place]]. Can sometimes be folded for easier storage.
