Finally: the terrifying steampunk future portrayed in Hello Kitty Online makes sense. While the Hello Kitty Chainsaw is puzzlingly unavailable on Sanrio's website, and may in fact be entirely made up by the Internet, we are kind of digging the sparkly bronze-studded chain and the cursive "I love you" on the blade.
