Hammerspace is the notional place where things come from when they are needed, and where they go back to when not. The term was fan coined as the place cartoon characters and anime/manga characters would store the overly-large hammers and assorted weaponry they had a propensity for hitting each other with, especially for comedic effect. The actual location of hammerspace is very hard to determine. There seems to be a great deal of it behind people's backs and on the opposite side (from the camera, that is) of thin things like lampposts and slender trees. It also hides in people's own body, coats, closets, clown cars, large sacks, and occasionally down their bras and pants. Further research into the exact location of Hammerspace awaits solution of a few more basic questions. Such as: "What happens when you turn a Bag of Holding inside out?" and "Why is the inside of the TARDIS only that much larger than its exterior?" It's also referred to as "hyperspace", but that term gets a little confused with the SF term related to Faster-Than-Light Travel (see Subspace or Hyperspace). Just to confuse things further, "subspace" is a word used in Transformers fandom for Hammerspace. It is called "katanaspace" in Highlander fandom, "back pockets" in the cartoon roleplaying game Toon, and referred to simply as "Elsewhere" in the Fantasy Kitchen Sink roleplaying game Exalted. There are multiple versions, in order of size: Basic Hammerspace: This version contains only a few things, not because it is limited in capacity, but because that is all it is ever used for—for example a large weapon, or Optimus Prime's trailer. It is usually played for convenience, and most viewers give it a Hand Wave, although there is occasional Lampshading. Game Hammerspace: Used frequently in games—many of your inventory items are much too large or too heavy to be carried normally, and this is where they are stored until they are used. Game Hammerspace may or may not be infinite, depending on whether your inventory has a limited number of items or weight, but it still holds many things without spoiling the lining of your coat. Infinite Hammerspace: This version is played with a bent towards comedy. It can traditionally hold as much as the joke requires it to hold, may have multiple dimensions to its capacity (eg somebody looking in and finding one thing, closing the 'door' and looking in again to find something else), and often gets larger as the show goes on. If it reaches a limit, it is as a joke. To take even more comedy out of what is already impossible, a character with established access to Infinite Hammerspace may, after packing it full of things, finally fill it up. With Basic Hammerspace, they are more likely to lose access to it for some reason and be unable to retrieve an item. All Point-and-Click adventure games had this to an extent or another, because of the technical limitations of the medium preventing these games from having the hundreds of thousands of sprites necessary to represent your character holding any combination of inventory items you can have. So it's usually treated humorously instead. The term "Hammerspace" originated in the Ranma ½ fanfiction community, ironically largely as a result of Fanon, as neither the titular Ranma nor the character most often associated with it (Akane Tendo) exhibited this trope to an excessive degree, though it was present in the source material. Sub Tropes include: Ass Shove Bag of Holding Bottomless Magazines Collapsible Helmet Compressed Hair Hammerspace Hair Hammerspace Hideaway Hammerspace Parachute Hyperspace Arsenal Hyperspace Holmes Hat Hyperspace Mallet Hyperspace Wardrobe Impossibly-Compact Folding Misleading Package Size Person of Holding Shake Someone, Objects Fall Stomach of Holding Talking with Signs Treasure Chest Cavity Trouser Space Victoria's Secret Compartment Wallet of Holding Physicists are still split over whether or not there is a Hammerspace-Hammertime continuum. May involve Rummage Fail. For more tropes on the spontaneous generation of matter, see Shapeshifter Baggage, Elemental Baggage, Variable-Length Chain, and Telescoping Robot. |

Loopers in The Infinite Loops have what they call a subspace pocket. Not only can these hold quite a bit, they also carry between loops. The oldest loopers are said to be able to carry entire solar systems in theirs. Another type appears in Ruby Rose's "Pocket Lemons", which give a non-Looper an approximation of a Pocket when consumed. |

The Road to El Dorado: Miguel manages to keep the map in his shirt easily, which could be explained by the fact that his shirt is tucked into his trousers, but the map appears to disappear whenever he puts it in his shirt, as it doesn't affect how his shirt lies in any way. Chel and Tzekel-Kan are more direct examples: Chel manages to hide a pair of dice on her despite her outfit having no visible pockets, though at least dice are small, and Tzekel-Kan keeps an entire book under his shirt, if you could even call it a shirt. | |

Disney Animated Canon examples: Pinocchio: Jiminy Cricket pulls out a pair of glasses that, while proportionate to his large head, are far too big for his back pocket. The Three Caballeros: Both Jose Carioca and Panchito are prone to pulling items out of thin air, including telescopes, musical instruments, and capes. True to this trope's name, during the "Baia" segment Jose actually pulls out a mallet from behind his back. Cinderella: After Cinderella's fairy godmother offers to help her get ready for the ball, she searches around for her magic wand, before remembering that she "put it away." She then uses a special hand motion to make the wand appear out of thin air. Alice in Wonderland: The items Alice needs to "access" Wonderland appear out of nowhere. Aladdin: In the Cave of Wonders, both Aladdin and Abu don't have anywhere to put the lamp, since Aladdin's pants don't have pockets, and Abu doesn't have anything big enough to hold it, so when both are preoccupied, the lamp disappears, and reappears when needed. Tangled: Rapunzel carries Flynn's satchel around for nearly a day in spite of the fact that she had nothing to carry it in, and she was with Flynn the entire time. ‘‘Frozen’’: Hans suddenly has his sword when he tries to kill Elsa when all previous shots showed he was unarmed with no way to conceal it. In contrast, when Hans previously used his sword he was shown carrying it in a scabbard that’s missing here. |

The Gunslinger Hero: Flintlock: Played with. Izumi’s electronic eye gives her access to her armory, allowing her to summon weapons out of seemingly thin-air as long as they are in the arsenal space. To someone who doesn’t know she has this capability, it comes off as her having a Hyperspace Arsenal instead. | |

RWBY: There is no way Ren's gun-blades should be able to fit into his sleeves, let alone leave no sign that they're there. Nevertheless, that's exactly what happens. Professor Ozpin is always seen with either a cane or a coffee mug, never both. The most blatant occurrence is during the show's very first trial which happens on a cliff edge and in the forest below. Ozpin sends the students off while nursing coffee, no cane in sight. Then he's seen monitoring the lesson while leaning on his cane, no coffee mug in sight. Before this event, the fandom already had a Running Gag that the cane and the coffee mug are the same item, morphing between the two states whenever Ozpin Must Have Caffeine. This event gave that gag wings. An observation among the fandom is that some of the mechshift weapons would be hard to make in real life. Most appear to just telescope, but Coco Adel is able to carry around a retractable minigun in a handpurse. It's implied that the purse is just as heavy as the gun, since Coco uses it to bludgeon a few Grimm to death. Cinder Fall can apparently use her fire powers to summon a pair of blades, which can also double as a bow. There's no indication yet as to exactly what is going on (Cinder has always been something of an anomaly), but her clothes do glow when she summons them. It's eventually revealed that she's using a combination of her Semblance and Maiden Powers to forge glass weapons instantaneously out of the dust in the air, making this a subversion. In Volume 2, Ruby and Yang get a 1-foot mail tube from their father Taiyang, which turns out to contain Zwei (the family's pet Corgi) and a letter asking the girls to watch him while Taiyang is away on business. After Yang gives the tube a couple of shakes, a gigantic pile of canned dog food and a can opener also drop out of it. While most of the above examples are the result of Volumes 1-3 having limited animation, volume 7 introduces Fiona Thyme who has this as an in-universe Semblance. Her first onscreen use is to literally pull a whole truck with supplies into the palm of her hand. |

With This Ring: The ability for power rings to store items in a subspace pocket is canon, but since his ring is based on avarice, Paul uses and abuses it much more extensively to accumulate all manner of material goods. He stores food, clothing, appliances, construction materials, weapons, armour, and at one point, the complete records of play-testing a custom set of Warhammer rules, which he kept on a stack of paper large enough to completely fill a hallway, for reasons he can no longer remember. | |

Used and discussed in the fanfic Tails of the Old Republic, a crossover/ Fusion Fic between Sonic the Hedgehog and the videogame Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Tails basically carries a portable pocket dimension in his tails, and he even calls it Hyperspace Inventory. It's not perfect, however, and Tails feels the weight of everything he's carrying, and his hammerspace can implode if he loses all his Chaos power. Carth Onasi eventually dubs it "tailspace". | |

Beneath the ring could count, as everything including a kitchen sink has been pulled out from under the ring. Hornswoggle even lives under the ring and apparently, so do a bunch of similarly sized people. At first, it was just a joke by JBL, but then after being sued by Hornswoggle, DX has to go under the ring and not only find a full sized courtroom, but a building! So yes, on WWE shows, under the ring is officially Hammerspace. It's also been known to contain a portal to Hell. | |

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: During his tearful goodbye, Spider-Ham gifts Miles a cartoon hammer that will fit in his pocket. In the sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Miguel O'Hara mentions Hammerspace by name when the Vulture from a Renaissance-era dimension pulls out another giant wing from his backpack after his first is pulled off. The term is even defined with a Clue from Ed. (as seen as the page quote above). In a milder example, Hobie's awesomely enormous dreadlocks appear to fit neatly under a skin-tight cowl. |

This is an explicit power of one of the characters in This Bites!. After eating the Human Human Fruit: Model Child, Going Merry becomes a human girl. She still has aspects of her true caravel form while a human, which includes storage space. She can keep just as much inside her coat pockets as she could carry as a full ship, the item easily slipping in and out of her pocket with no issue. It's simply chocked up to the usual case of "Devil Fruit Bullshit". | |

Riding a Sunset has all of the Transformers use this trope, but in this fic it's actually explained. All Transformers have a tool called a Subspace, which turns the matter in an object into energy and stores it until it's needed, and then converts it back into matter. This is used as an explanation for how Transformers (especially in the G1 series) are able to pull tools, weapons, and Prime's trailer seemingly out of thin air. | |

An episode of Monday Night RAW saw Triple H, known for carrying around a sledgehammer, facing off with Randy Orton holding a sledgehammer. Orton suggested they both drop their weapons and just go at it like men. Triple H agreed, both men ditched the hammers they were carrying, and then, after stepping into the ring and removing his jacket, HHH pulled another full-sized sledgehammer out from behind his back and proceeded to chase Orton away. Now, yes, the second hammer was concealed behind his back the entire time, held by a special rig, but the fact that someone managed to pull off the illusion of Hammerspace on a live television program was impressive. Beneath the ring could count, as everything including a kitchen sink has been pulled out from under the ring. Hornswoggle even lives under the ring and apparently, so do a bunch of similarly sized people. At first, it was just a joke by JBL, but then after being sued by Hornswoggle, DX has to go under the ring and not only find a full sized courtroom, but a building! So yes, on WWE shows, under the ring is officially Hammerspace. It's also been known to contain a portal to Hell. |
