Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate: Crazy Diamond hammer - MightyKombat - 09-10-2013
One of the special event weapons in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is a hammer called "Crazy D" that when used to attack your allies, will heal them.
This weapon was the result of a collaboration with Hirohiko Araki, the author of the manga "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" and references Part 4's protagonist Josuke Higashikata, who's Stand was named "Crazy Diamond." Said Stand possessed incredible physical strength and speed but its main special ability was to restore things back to their original state, or in other words, heal people's injuries and repair broken objects.
IIRC the weapon's been renamed and reskinned outside of Japan due to overseas unfamiliarity with the Jojo franchise and licensing issues with the names.
I'm gonna be posting this here along with info sources that I could find in regards to the weapon since the last time I tried posting it, the sources were insufficient. Hopefully it'll go a bit better.
