Katana



The katana is a weapon in Yandere Simulator.

Gameplay
In the game, the katana is found by the school entrance for debugging purposes, but will be moved to a sensible location in the future, with an explanation for that in the Headmaster's Tapes. The katana cannot be concealed and is seen as suspicious, so if any student sees the player hold the weapon, their reputation will be damaged by ten points.

The player cannot use a katana when fighting a Heroic student and will automatically lose as of the February 15th, 2016 Update, as the weapon is too unwieldy to use in close quarters.

Katana Animations
In the future, there will be different katana animations depending on Yandere-chan's level of sanity. For now, there is only one stab animation with the katana so far.
 * High Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Medium Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Low Sanity: Unknown so far.
 * Stealth Kill: Unknown so far.

Trivia

 * YandereDev once stated in an interview that the katana was once something The Headmaster confiscated but never got rid off.
 * In a more recent tweet, YandereDev has stated that in the Headmaster's Tapes, there will be a reason why a katana is in school.
