D'autres armes, potentiellement meurtrières et dérivant des moyens de défense immédiats à la portée des paysans, sont également utilisées, parmi lesquelles le "nunchaku", transposition moderne du "fléau à céréales" (= "Dreschflegel für Getreide"), n'est pas le moins efficace.

When viewed etymologically from its Okinawan roots, "nun" comes from the word for "twin", and "chaku" from "shaku", "a unit of measurement". The popular belief is that the "nunchaku" was originally a "short flail used to thresh rice or soybeans" (that is, separate the grain from the husk).

It is also possible that the weapon was developed in response to the moratorium on edged weaponry under the Satsuma daimyo after invading Okinawa in the 17th century, and that the weapon was most likely conceived and used exclusively for that end, as the configuration of actual flails and bits are unwieldy for use as a weapon. Also, peasant farmers were forbidden conventional weaponry such as arrows or blades so they improvised using only what they had available, farm tools such as the sickle. The modern weapon would be an ineffective flail.

Although the certain origin of "nunchaku" is disputed, it is thought to come from China through the Japanese island of Okinawa; and they were created in their current incarnation for the movies. The Japanese word "nunchaku" itself comes from the Hokkien (Min Nan) word "nng-chiat-kun" ("no-chiat kun"). When viewed etymologically from its Okinawan roots, "nun" comes from the word for "twin", and "chaku" from "shaku", "a unit of measurement".

En el Japón feudal, la palabra "samurai" designó a una clase de guerreros japoneses, especialmente entrenados en la práctica de las artes marciales, que se hallaban vinculados a un señor de la corte imperial, quien los utilizaba como guardia personal, función que se refleja de manera clara en la etimología, pues el término primitivo fue "saburai" (de "sabuna", 'estar al lado'), de donde derivó "samurai", que literalmente significa "guardia".

Das mittelalterliche Japan war von gnadenlosen Machtkämpfen und blutigen Familienfehden geprägt. Die Samurai hatten in dieser kriegerischen Gesellschaft die höchste Stellung eingenommen und übten wesentlichen Einfluss auf Politik, Kunst und Kultur aus. Der Ehrenkodex dem sie folgten, war den ritterlichen Idealen des europäischen Mittelalters ähnlich. Ehre, Treue, Aufrichtigkeit und auch der Schutz der Schwachen und Wehrlosen gehörten zu ihren Tugenden. Die japanischen Ritter, ihre kunstvollen Rüstungen und einzigartigen Waffen, faszinieren uns noch heute.

Es geht hier sicher nicht um die Verherrlichung von Krieg und Militarismus, sondern um die Beschreibung des hochinteressanten und geheimnisvollen japanischen Rittertums.
