Boomerang

The Boomerang is a sub-weapon that appears in some games instead of the Cross, or in addition to it. In most of his appearances, the weapon returns back in an arc after being thrown. In RPG opus, the weapon is often dropped by the Skelerang.
A flaming version of the boomerang, called the Fire Boomerang, also exists in some games.
==Game specific information==
===Haunted Castle===
First appearance of the weapon in the series. Like the Dagger, it only flies forward a limited distance and does not return. However, it can cross the enemies. 
===Castlevania: Bloodlines===
The Crystal Blade Boomerang is one of the three sub-weapons that John Morris or Eric Lecarde are able to use in Bloodlines (the other two are the Sacred Water and Battle Axe). 
Unlike the previous opus and true to its real use, the weapon can be launched forward to go back, slightly above the player. It can be considered as a replacement for the Cross.
By pressing up and the sub-weapon button at the same time, a special attack is unleashed which consumes more jewels. The player then summon three boomerangs running in a straight line while moving away and getting closer to each other.
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
A new type of boomerang make his appearance, the Fire Boomerang. Its use is identical to the standard boomerang but, as the name suggests, it inflicts fire damage.
===Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow===
Like Haunted Castle, the boomerang launches in a straight line until disappearing from the screen. However, unlike Symphony of the Night, its use is infinite.
The throwing of the weapon can be accelerated by equipping with Skelerang's soul.
===Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin===
Boomerang is just one of the many items that, once found, is selectable in Jonathan Morris's inventory. Like in Symphony of the Night, the weapon comes back behind the player, allowing to hit an enemy behind the player.
Mastering the weapon changes it from blue to red and doubles its size.
