I'll have to say no on both of them, because

Nagi uses her wand to purify impurities

Keiichi uses his bat to play baseball/hurt people (lol)

So for me that makes them not just accessories anymore

From Wikipedia:

Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as jewelry, gloves, handbags, hats, belts, scarves, watches, sunglasses, pins, stockings, bow tie, leg warmer, leggings, necktie, suspenders, and tights.Accessories are also available in the form of bracelets, necklaces and earring.

A bat and a Wand are more like weapons, so I'd have to say No.

I agree that they're more of a weapon than accessories.

Geez people, you don't know what baseball is, do you.

lol. Once again, he uses it not only as a weapon, but also as a baseball bat (which is what it actually is, BEFORE being a weapon).
I don't get it. An "accessory" is a object that a character carries with him/her, am I wrong? Then why so much fuss about it, I wonder.
Also, what about if someone tries to claim something like a guitar (random example)?
You'll deny his claim too, I guess, since guitars are not accessories.

Nagi's magic wand isn't a "weapon" at all. It's something she often carries with her and it doesn't actually have powers, it's just a toy. The powers to kill the impurities come from herself, not from the wand. And the real reason why she bought it is because she really liked the anime it came from. How is it not an accessory? I think this should count.

I think that's where we're disagreeing here. Accessories aren't something people carry around, but something they have for decorative purposes. Keiichi's bat isn't exactly...decorative. And yes, guitars would be denied as they are used to play music. But something like a necklace shaped as a guitar would be accepted.

Fine, I'll claim something else because I got quite sick of this situation, and I have something else I want to claim anyway.
Let me say just another thing.
Yumichika's Peacock Feathers, which Yuki claimed, are yes ornamental things he puts on his hair, but they're also used as weapons in Bleach.
To sum it up, you must be more specific with what IS claimable and what is NOT.
From what I understood, only ornamental, secondary, kinda "useless" things are considered as accessories (such as ribbons, hats, necklaces, rings).

And of course, I expect Tsuruya's claim to be denied as well as mine, since objects that are used like weapons or which are used as magical/powerful/useful items aren't allowed, it seems.
Let's be fair, ne?

I think they should count.
if we turn this claims down, then we'll have to turn more of them down.
Glasses aren't decorative, Tamaki"s rose is something he carries with him.
That's the same as Nagi's magic wand.
Someone claimed an eyepatch, that shouldn't count either if we don't accept these one's. And an pocket watch.. That's not decorative either.
And Zero's Mask and Cloak are claimed, They are not decorative.
Ect.

Simply put, an accessory is like "an addition to the wearer's outfit" or "the secondary part to an outfit" (both basically mean the same thing)
An accessory helps to add completeness to an outfit.
Gloves, masks, capes, hats, necklaces, scarves, etc. would be considered accessories.

If the character's (Nagi & Keiichi) were an actual mahou shoujo or baseball player, I think the items could be considered an accessory to their outfits, because it would be "adding completeness to the outfit".
But in Nagi and Keiichi's case, they use their items for purification (wand) and violence (baseball bat).

In the end, I say count them as accessories because the margin between whether they are or not is very thin, and it only changes based on the character's use of the item.
I think it'd turn out to be a pain if you had to know the character's use of the item to determine whether it was an accessory or not.. right?
