Poor guy, being paralized must have been awful.
I'm glad his suffering was ended.

just an Off-Topic note,
OK. *Drops kusari* then....Yes. The weapon, a kusari gama is, in essence a "chain scythe."
For those of you who don't know what these are, here are the pictures.
A KusariGama is essentially made up of a Kusari (Chain) and a Gama or Kama (don't know the exact translation, but I do know its bordering on scythe)

The Weapon is supposedly a Ninja Weapon, because of its stealth and disarming and killing cababilities. Here is an exact Transcript
This long range blade and chain weapon is another favorite of the ninja. The chain could be used to entangle and pull in the enemy to finish with the blade. Some kusarigama had hand guards atached to the lower handle for finger and hand protection. The kusarigama was a single edge blade mounted to a wooden handle, a chain of nine to twleve feet was affixed at the end. A iron weight was attached to the end of the chain. On some kusarigama the chain is attached to the bottom end of the handle while others it is attached to where the handle meets the blade. The blade could be used to thrust, slash, chop, and swing. The handle could deflect strike and block. The chain could strangle, ensnare, whip, and aid in trap making. The weight served as a frail or missile

Thanks Loc.

Sickle is a better translataion for kama/gama. BTW when the word, kama, attaches to another word such as kusari, the preceding "i" (vowel) sound is allowed to make the "k" sound in kama elide into a "g" sound as in gama.

A sickle is a hand scythe but a scythe is a two handed tool so my translation was incorrect.
