Juji Shuriken

The Juji Shuriken , also known as the 4-Point Shuriken, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. Initially the primary weapon of Yuffie Kisaragi from Final Fantasy VII, it also makes appearances in Dissidia Final Fantasy sub-series, as well as in Final Fantasy XI. Iconic to Yuffie, the large shuriken was chosen as her weapon because in previous Final Fantasy games, the shuriken was an especially powerful weapon for the ninja job.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy VII ===
The 4-point Shuriken is Yuffie's initial weapon and provides 23 Attack, 100 Attack %, and 6 Magic. It has one unlinked slot and one linked slot with normal Materia growth. It is a long ranged weapon with the Shoot element. It can be bought for 600 gil.
Yuffie wields the 4-Point Shuriken in her confrontation against the player's party as the Mystery Ninja.
A long-range throwing weapon that returns to its wielder, the shuriken's design resembles a cross, its four extended points fused at the center with an iron ring. With the shape of the individual limbs and blades, the overall appearance makes it look akin to a giant kunai tossed in midair with a spinning toss, or a composite giant shuriken that utilizes four fused kunai. Later appearances further pronounce and detail the kunai shape of the blades.
