These paper tags, also known as "ofuda", are used in Shinto and Onmyōdō for purification and exorcisms or as wards. They are sometimes used with Shide, and most commonly at Shinto Shrines or by Miko. Taoists also use a version of the tags called Fu. In Buddhism and Hinduism they are called Sutras. In Korean shamanism they are known as Pujok. The western equivalent would be a conspicuously-placed rosary or crucifix, although it was common practice in the Middle Ages to use thin parchment prayer scrolls and wax seals in a similar fashion. In Anime and Manga they can do anything, even explode. If in the form of a card, a Death Dealer may use these. Compare with Paper Master, a form of Functional Magic that uses paper. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, upon entering the Arbiter's Grounds miniboss room, you see a huge, ominous sword tied down with a bunch of ropes with papers hanging on them. Every single gamer, viewer and troper instinct screams at you not to remove the seals, and indeed, viewing the sword with wolf senses shows an otherwise invisible demonic spirit kneeling, gripping the sword, and patiently waiting for some fool to show up and release it. As if it wasn't obvious, you gotta be that fool. | |

These have a particularly funny use in the first A Chinese Ghost Story movie. The unlucky protagonist, having gotten his clothes soaked, accidentally backs into a stall selling these, ending up with six of them stuck to his back (and the inscriptions remaining after the angry shopkeeper peels them off, resulting in another dunking later). | |

Americas: A rare pre-Columbian equivalent is seen in the twenty-first episode with the sheets made of gold used by the Quimbaya tribe (in the territory that is known today as Bogota, the capital of Colombia) by placing them in the fences surrounding their homes so the sound made with them and the wind repels the evil spirits. | |

Dark Cloud features these in the form of preventing the game's status effects. They were localised as "Amulets" - which caused some people to wonder why they would eventually "rip". Its Sequel also brought them back, but they were still called "Amulet". | |

Naruto - Exploding paper tags can be used as mines, time bombs, or even grenades (if tied to a kunai and thrown). One infamous ninja even attaches them to his sword, and the resident Paper Master uses them to great effect. Additionally, binding talismans show up every now and again, such as those worn by Ao and the First Hokage's wife, Mito, as well as the seals used to take control of the people summoned with Impure World Resurrection (Edo Tensei in the Japanese). | |

Power Rangers: In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, Kamdor uses these to turn objects (always blue like his armor) into the Monster of the Week, and to invoke Make My Monster Grow. For extra anime ninja-ness, he controls them via Hand Seals. In Power Rangers Wild Force, Princess Shayla once sealed a Monster of the Week in this manner in a Flash Back (said monster was uncanned at the episode's beginning.) |

Whateley Universe: A number of mages in the series use 'spell slips', even when a given wizard's or witch's magic is otherwise from a Western tradition. Bladedancer, whose powers stem from Taoist magic, uses Fu for binding spirits and demons, and as a way of preparing spells ahead of time. Abracadabra, who is a middle school student, uses disposable paper sheets to write Runic Magic, though the implication seems to be that this is a crutch until she learns how to cast with Instant Runes. Glyph, who is unable to use magical incantations due to her specific Avatar spirit, has to use various kinds of written or drawn spells, which often includes scrolls or slips of various kinds (as well as Power Tattoos). During a trip outside of the school, She-Beast is shown enchanting an otherwise ordinary deck of cards with various cantrips meant to calm, confuse, or distract anyone who might attack her as a way of de-escalating any conflicts. |

The second case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies takes place in a remote village whose culture is centered around fear of the Youkai. One of the characters you meet is Jinxie Tenma, who uses talismans everywhere to ward off anything she believes will invite the Youkai (including Apollo himself, whom she mistakes for a demon, as well as on herself). | |

Yurie of Kamichu! makes very little use of ofuda, which is kind of surprising given that it's virtually the only use of her power that doesn't put her into an exhausted sleep while getting very powerful results. A full episode is devoted to her improving her handwriting by studying with the boy she loves, Kenji, which results in her writing absolutely no ofuda (though one of Kenji's is later empowered.) | |

These are... pretty common in Touhou Project. Reimu and Sanae, the resident Miko, are the most strongly associated with them, but they get used by a fair number of bosses and even some generic fairies. Reimu's Ofuda are unusual in that, rather than any kind of spiritual message, the writing on them is 大入 ("ooiri"), a phrase written on red and white envelopes of money given as gifts or bonuses. It's been suggested that she does this to trick youkai into approaching them, or it could be taken as another sign of Reimu's own money-hungry personality. Several characters have ofuda as parts of their outfits: Mokou has them attached to her pants (possibly to make the pants fireproof), Yoshika has one on her hat (as a magically-raised zombie/Chinese Vampire), and Tojiko has her dress adorned with them (for no apparent reason). Shion can be mistaken for having them randomly plastered all over her clothing, but those are actually debt notices. |

In each of the first three parts of 3×3 Eyes, paper talismans play an important role: In the first part: while promising of capturing the "moster" haunting Huang's villa Ling Ling offers a huge demon-repelling talisman for protection, causing all the presents (who are all supernatural beings of sort, unknown to her) to become scared and step back. Later on Ju use a paper talisman to bind Pai. Said talisman is later used to finish him off. In the second part: Zhou Gui can use paper talismans to cast magic, called "Soul Cutting Dragon" (Zhang Ling Long) and "Soul Freezing Dragon" (Dong Ling Long). He usually carries the blank papers and a pen with him. In the third part: Huang Shun Li/Xun Gui plans to summon a soul-eating monster called Quan for her plans, and it's said that 108 sacred talismans are required to make him manifest in a physical form. Said talismans also shields him from other magic, but also make him easy to burn. For the rest of the series, paper talismans are commonly employed as demon-killing or demon-repelling tools by taoists and sorcerers, as Hasrath Hahn or Steve Long, most notably to protect the world-wide communication system from Shiva's soul-harvesting spell. |

Onmyōji (2016), of course, but it seems that Seimei is the one using them most frequently, tossing them around in most of his skills. And then there's the Summoning feature, which is basically a game of lottery in which you draw weird shapes on talismans before sending them off into the summoning circle, hoping to acquire a shikigami of high rarity. | |

Dragon Ball: The Mafuba (Evil Containment Wave) lets one use any mundane container — even an electric rice cooker — to seal away an opponent, so long as one uses the proper ofuda. In the Piccolo Jr. Saga of the original series, Kami gets around this by simply writing the kanji for the technique on the jar itself (though the fact that he's God probably helps), while in the Future Trunks Saga of Dragon Ball Super, the technique would have defeated an immortal enemy if Goku hadn't forgotten the ofuda.note In the manga he accidentally grabbed one of Master Roshi's coupons for a naughty cabaret shows instead; in the anime he forgets it completely. | |

Fengshen Yanyi: taoists Immortals can use enchanted paper talismans applied to people to protect them or to invoke various effects. Taiyi Zhenren possess a set of talismans which he uses to turn Nezha invisible, while the sage Jiuliusun owns a set of talismans that can transmute the earth into solid steel, used to counter the magic technique of his disciple Tuxingsun (who can move underground freely). Jiang Ziya also makes use of demon-repelling talismans in a few occasions, such as applying them to the Jade Pipa Spirit's human disguise to keep her from running away and applying them to peach wood columns to set up a trap for the Gao Brothers, the tree spirits. | |

Mana also uses a teleportation Sutra vs Kaede during the Festival Arc, apparently they cost 800,000 yen each (Single Use). Kaede herself uses these in one of her stronger attacks. She throws Fuuma Shuriken (smaller than that one, though) to wrap chains around her opponent. Chains with ofuda dangling from the links. If you've seen the series below, you know what comes next... |

Sailor Moon - Rei, a miko as well as a Magical Girl, uses these to complement her magic. They have effects such as dispelling a petrifying venom, immobilizing the Monster of the Week, and making Jadeite's possessed planes chase him instead of the Senshi. Mostly used for immobilization so Usagi can attack, though. Noteably the only Senshi attack not tied to her transformed state (though it's given stock footage anyways). In the anime she combines it with her actual Senshi powers to create the Fire Soul Bird attack, while in the Manga, Minako gets to use the attack during a side story that involved Rei getting possessed. One of the movies lets her use it against dozens of possessed humans at once, complete with her apparently summoning dozens of the Ofudas in a fancy non-stock footage attack, while not transformed. | |

The Kiki Kai Kai series has the main protagonist Sayo-chan, a miko who uses ofuda as ranged weapons and an oharai stick as a melee weapon. | |

Deadpool's enemy T-Ray used pieces of paper with Japanese-looking writing on them to achieve various magical effects. They may have been Ofuda. | |
