In "Akame Ga Kill!",Lubbock is wielding a very complex weapon (a Teigu
actually) named Cross Tail,Infinite Possibilities I think...He used it in
countless ways,as the name implies,so I was wondering if it would be at least
theoretically possible to use such a weapon in an actual fight,with the enemy
knowing about your presence and intentions. I know that such a weapon could
only be used for suffocation (stealthily,from the back) or by setting
traps,and I'm not very sure about the second one anyway. Now,I'd like to hear
some opinions!

Is it possible to wield a weapon similar to Lubbock's?


Purely theoretical? Yes, you would be able to apply it in real combat. The
usage of the weapon would probably be similar to that of a whip or
[Kusarigama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusarigama). Yet allot harder, due
to the lack of weights. This would mean that the user requires the whiplash
effect for this weapon to be even have the slightest effect. And this is not
even taking armored opponents into account. And in case you were wondering, it
would be possible to create such a wire.
[WorldBuilding.stackexchange](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/a/19258)
seems to deem it possible.

Realistically speaking, it would be highly unlikely that a weapon such as this
would be used in real life combat, as it would require a tremendous amount of
skill to effectively use it as a weapon. And most likely wouldn't be feasible
against armored opponents.

Finally, with the above said it is save to conclude that the way Lubbock
wields the wires would not be realistically possible. With the exception of a
few moves.
