Shurikens

Shurikens are basic throwing weapons similar to throwing stars used in Ninjago, primarily used by ninja. They resemble metallic discs with three sharp points and a hole in the middle to decrease their weight. The shurikens are also large to be used in close combats. Although they can be used in melee, their small size makes them impractical in close combat.
Zane initially specializes in the use of shurikens, including the Shurikens of Ice.

==Trivia==
*Shurikens have appeared on the TV show in gold and silver from the beginning, while in the sets they were introduced in gold in 2011, redesigned in 2015, and debuted in silver in 2017.
**Despite the redesign as of the Possession sets, shurikens in the series remained with the original design until Sons of Garmadon.
*Tommy Andreasen originally had an idea to make a Ninjago DVD shaped like a shuriken.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1298690002235334660
*Different types of shurikens appear on the Ninjago Spinners cards, "Throwing Star" and "Double Stars."
*Zane has a spinning drill in his arm that is shaped like a shuriken, as seen in "Versus".
*Ronin has an icon of a shuriken on the belt of his original outfit. Kai's suit also had two four-sided shurikens printed on it.
*It appears Echo Zane can also produce shurikens as seen when he shatters a mirror with one in "The Last Resort".
*In "The Call of the Deep," Maya says "shuriken and throwing stars," implying the two terms refer to separate weapons.
*In Enter the Ninjago, Zane uses a LEGO Friends star stud piece representing a shuriken.
