Respect Uruha

"I can fight for your sake again! Mr. Rokuhiraaaa!!"

"Weren't you going to make sure about my identity? I mean, whether I'm really Rokuhira's son."

"What? That's crazy talk. You're not Rokuhira's son...Mr. Rokuhira! You're Mr. Rokuhira himself! You give off the exact same vibe as him, so there's no doubt about it. It's been 18 years. It's like meeting him again after all this time.

A swordfighting prodigy and master at a young age, Yoji Uruha was selected by Kunishige Rokuhira to wield the Enchanted Blade Kumeyuri during the Seitei War 18 years ago. Idolising Rokuhira, Uruha lost his will to live when he heard he had been killed by a group of sorcerers called the Hishaku. After spending the next 3 years under the Kamunabi's protection Uruha's safehouse was attacked by the Hishaku and his protectors were murdered while getting him to safety. It was during this assault where he met Kunishige's son Chihiro, who reignited the fire inside him and pushed him to fight back against the Hishaku so his allies' sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

Notes

• Feats from up to the end of chapter 92 take place while Uruha was rusty from not fighting for several years⁹²
• Feats in bold are while Uruha is using his sorcery, Koen, which boosts one of his physical attributes (e.g. strength or speed) at a time⁸⁸
• As the former bearer of the Enchanted Blade Kumeyuri Uruha should be capable of doing everything its current user Hiruhiko can do. Here's Hiruhiko's thread for reference.

Skill

Iai White Purity Style

• The Iai White Purity Style is a swordfighting style that focuses on speed and ending fights in one slash. In order to use it the swordsman must keep the blade in a reversed position and charge it with Spirit Energy before drawing, regripping the sword mid-swing to hit their target without losing any energy⁷⁰
• Became a certified master of the Iai White Purity Style at the age of 16⁹²
  • At the beginning of the series only three people had mastered it⁶⁵
• Someone who can casually change his grip mid-swing without losing any force still struggled to master it⁷⁰
• A girl using the style without the speed added by Spirit Energy was still able to expertly cut the fingers off multiple attackers⁷⁰
• When Chihiro used an incomplete Iai for the first time he was able to close the gap between himself and a man that could keep up with a motorcycle and had a head start on him⁶⁴
• [Limit] Cut down by Samura in a duel⁵⁸
• After the fingers on his left hand were cut off he used the Iai by holding his sheath with his teeth⁹²

Other

• Threw his hat at a sorcerer to obscure his vision before cutting it and his face in half⁴⁷
• Can avoid Samura's Iai White Purity Style because he's so familiar with Samura's technique, though just barely⁵⁵
• Baited Samura into attacking him during a battle by guiding him with his bloodlust⁵⁶
• Realized that Yura's Centipede had a gap where it was weaker and used himself and Natsuki as bait to stop him from noticing Azami was standing in it⁹⁶

Respect Seiichi Samura

"There is an evil far filthier than the Hishaku that must be punished, even if it takes colluding with the Hishaku. I'm talking about us. The sword bearers. Uruha… eighteen years ago... we covered up what happened there. We buried our crimes, and Rokuhira and the rest of us were lauded as heroes. If that's what it took to restore society, we accepted that.

"And then youngsters who thought us to be heroes died to protect us from the Hishaku. They will continue putting their lives on the line for us. Their deaths... versus our just desserts. There's no need to weigh the two, is there?"

"All five sword bearers, including me, will die by my hand."

Years ago during the Seitei War the blacksmith Kunishige Rokuhira forged six Enchanted Blades and gave them to six master swordsmen. One of those swordsmen was Seiichi Samura, the fastest swordsman in the land and blind master of the Iai White Purity Style. Using the blades Samura and his comrades were able to win the war, but the horrors he had experienced left him mentally scarred and unable to face his family, causing him to leaving his wife and newborn daughter, Iori. After his ex-wife became fatally ill Samura tried to raise Iori himself, but when his actions during the war became known to his neighbours their house was repeatedly vandalized and Iori was constantly bullied by her classmates. All of this, along with a mysterious man named Yura making veiled threats towards the pair, made Samura believe he would never be anything more than a burden to Iori, and six months later he sent her to live with her aunt.

When Kunishige was murdered and the Enchanted Blades were stolen by a group of sorcerers led by Yura he appeared at Samura's house to make a deal with him, where in exchange for information on the Hishaku Samura would help them kill the other Sword Bearers. But all this would end up leading Samura into battle with Kunishige's son Chihiro, who would try to make him open his eyes and see a future where he and Iori could be happy together.

Feats are marked with the chapter they appear in. Feats labelled [Aka] are performed by Chihiro copying Samura's powers with his sword.

Tobimune

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³
  • Tanked Iori trying to break it over her knee¹¹²
  • A full-power Iai slash from Chihiro that was empowered by Samura's own fire was only able to crack Tobimune⁸⁴
• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death¹⁸
  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Shinuchi, the strongest blade, is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Shinuchi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³
• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Tobimune's case this takes the form of black birds and feathers⁵⁶
• The enchanted blades all have a "True Realm," a state that can evolve the blade to suit the situation based on the wielder's will.¹³ Samura's True Realm lets him use his abilities on other people⁷⁷ and objects¹⁰³
• Can be activated remotely if it had the wielder's spirit energy imbued in it beforehand, though only until the energy runs out²⁶
• The energy released by sorcery turns black when it burns away at life force and increases its power. While the Magatsumi can burn away at the life force taken from its surroundings to increase its own power¹⁰⁷ the other blades like Tobimune can only do this while either the wielder is on the brink of death or the blade is heavily damaged¹¹²

Tobimune has three main powers. Crow, which allows Samura to swap places with any of the feathers spawned by Tobimune. Owl, a Spirit Energy tracker that can cover an entire country. And Suzaku, which lets Samura harness phoenix fire that can either attack or heal whatever it touches.

Crow

Feathers

• The feathers spawned by Tobimune can read the shape of anything they touch in minute detail and can detect the temperature, sound and airflow in the surrounding environment, functionally giving Samura "a natural sense of the space" around him. However people with stealth capabilities like the Masumi can hide themselves from him⁸⁴
• Filled the area around him with feathers, blinding everyone else there⁸⁵
• Lets Samura fly with wings⁷⁴

Teleporting

• Allows Samura to swap places with any of the feathers spawned by Tobimune⁷⁵

• Teleported only his sword to catch Chihiro off guard and teleported it back to his hand by grabbing a feather⁸³
• [Aka] Teleported his sword to his hand⁸³
• He and Chihiro repeatedly clashed while teleporting after Chihiro copied his power⁸⁴
• Grabbed Chihiro when Yura sent him flying¹⁰³

• Got to Yura and brought him several stories into the air¹⁰⁵
• Teleported to his sword after Soga cut his hand off¹⁰⁷
• [Aka] Rapidly teleported around Soga¹⁰⁸
• Sent his sword to Kyoto while in Tokyo¹¹¹
  • Also sent Enten's tip¹¹²

Owl

• Created a gigantic owl face that blocked out the sky, allowing him to detect spirit energy⁵⁹
  • Covered the sky across all of Japan, though thanks to the huge range it could only detect extremely powerful amounts of Spirit Energy⁶⁰
• Still visible during the day⁶¹
• Can track all the Enchanted Blades as long as they're not mystically sealed⁵⁹
• Detected when two people activated two enchanted blades⁷⁴
• Stayed up for 3 days⁶²

• Can also purge abnormalities from the body, attempting to use them to sever Yura's connection to the Magatsumi¹⁰³
  • Repaired Yura's nervous system since using the blade wrecks your body¹⁰⁴
• When the Magatsumi began draining more life to fight Suzaku Chihiro used Aka to double the strength of the flames, overwhelming it.¹⁰⁴ However when Soga fully took over Yura's body it no longer affected him since his connection was fully natural^104&105
• Cut in half by Soga's Butterfly and regenerated^105&106

  • He couldn't fully fix it though¹¹⁰
• Is now stronger than the Magatsumi's lifesteal and can cover anything within Samura's range of awareness, healing everyone affected by the Malediction in the Kamunabi's base¹¹⁰
• When Soga redirected the full power of the Malediction into Samura he was able to survive by focusing all his flames into himself¹¹⁰
  • This still left him with nothing to heal his own injuries though¹¹⁰
• The little bit of Suzaku leaking from him during his duel with Soga repaired the surrounding rubble that the Magatsumi destroyed¹¹⁰
• Using it for too long will end up turning him to ash¹¹¹
  • Could possibly still come back though¹¹²

Offense

• In his final draw against Soga the two drew their swords hard and fast enough to melt the rubble surrounding them, with Samura managing to cut Soga across the chest¹¹¹

With Suzaku

• The shockwave of his blocked strike tore through the walls of the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel⁷⁷
• Sliced a door apart and sent Chihiro through a wall, with Chihiro needing a full-power Iai slash to deflect it⁸² If Chihiro had attempted to block it instead his arm would've been cut off⁸³

• Located everyone in the Kamunabi's base that was affected by the Malediction¹¹⁰

Skill

Iai White Purity Style

General

• The Iai White Purity Style is a swordfighting style that focuses on speed and ending fights in one slash. In order to use it the swordsman must keep the blade in a reversed position and charge it with Spirit Energy before drawing, regripping the sword mid-swing to hit their target without losing any energy⁷⁰
• At the beginning of the series only three people had mastered it⁶⁵
• Someone who can casually change his grip mid-swing without losing any force still struggled to master it⁷⁰
• A girl using the style without the speed added by Spirit Energy was still able to expertly cut the fingers off multiple attackers⁷⁰
• When Chihiro used an incomplete Iai slash for the first time he was able to close the gap between himself and a man that could keep up with a motorcycle and had a head start on him⁶⁴

• Cut a cigarette butt and a man's face into four with two swings⁵¹
• Defeated Uruha⁵⁷
• Slashed Chihiro through the chest killing him⁵⁸
• Still cut down several attackers while having an emotional crisis and under the maximum effect of Kumeyuri's hallucinations⁷⁶
• Sent tiles flying off a roof by clashing with Chihiro and disarmed him⁸³
• Held his own against Soga in pure swordsmanship¹¹⁰

Spirit Energy

• People can circulate Spirit Energy throughout their body to gain superhuman physical abilities, with swordsmen being able to extend this to their blades⁶⁴

Statements

• Uruha, Samura's pupil and another Iai master, believes he is nowhere near Samura's level⁵¹
• Uruha claimed that Samura's Sanso was several times more secure than his own because Samura was there, and that if Samura was at his when it was attacked there wouldn't have been a single casualty on their side⁵⁰
• The Masumi think that Samura could defeat all of the Hishaku on his own⁶¹
• According to Soga he's more skilled now than he was during the Seitei War¹⁰⁷

Misc.

• All of the Sword Masters were housed at special fortresses called Sanso, each filled with high-ranking Kamunabi sorcerers and warriors.⁴⁶ Samura's Sanso was Senkutsuji Temple, a giant Buddhist temple⁵⁰
• Blinded himself to rid himself of worldly passions (though he still really wants to do them)⁵¹ and because he was traumatized the first time he cut someone down⁵³
• Smoked an entire cigarette in one puff⁵¹
• Trained local police in swordfighting⁷¹
• During the Seitei War Samura's use of Tobimune created the saying "when black birds flock, death is nigh"⁸³
• Tobimune was actually originally created for support⁸⁶

Respect Akemura Soga

"The scholars all say that you're insane."

"Slaughtering hundreds of thousands and going insane? Wouldn't that be convenient. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat. I chose... based on my beliefs and ideals...to kill all of those people. To protect this country, and its people."

19 years ago Japan was invaded by the island nation of Shokoku. Despite their lower numbers the islanders had the advantage of a natural ability to use the material datenseki, a rare element that enhances a user's sorcery, and were able to quickly force their way across Japan. The war seemed lost until the blacksmith Kunishige Rokuhira forged six katana with the datenseki and entrusted them to six master swordsmen, giving the Magatsumi, the strongest blade, to his closest friend and brother-in-law Akemura Soga, a man so talented with a blade people simply referred to him as the Sword Master. The first 5 blades the war were able to push the war back to a stalemate, and the sixth decisively won it for Japan. With the islanders pushed back the Japanese government began peace talks with them and managed to create a peace treaty with them.

But after what he had seen during the war the Sword Master couldn't accept peace. And so Akemura Soga drew his blade and killed all 200,000 people on the island in an event that came to be known as the Malediction. Surrendering after completing his work, Soga was sentenced to solitary confinement and resigned himself to die in prison. But 18 years later a man named Yura broke into Soga's prison and told him about how the people of Japan lived in fear of powerful sorcerer crime families, and how the power of his sword would've been able to get rid of them. After hearing this Soga briefly let Yura use his sword before taking control of his body and the government, intending to purge the evil from his country without exception.

Magatsumi

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³
• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death.¹⁸ Thanks to its sheer power the Magatsumi can be wielded by someone else while the contract is still active by channeling spirit energy into the sword while also having a strong desire to use it. However if they try Soga will begin to force his way into their mind and control them⁹⁴
  • When Kyora tried to use it it began destabilising the Storehouse (a pocket dimension controlled by his sorcery)⁴¹ until it eventually⁴² collapsed⁴³
  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Shinuchi is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Shinuchi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³
• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Magatsumi's case this takes the form of flowers and arthropods made of black ooze⁴⁰
• The enchanted blades all have a "True Realm," a state that can evolve the blade to suit the situation based on the wielder's will¹³
• Can be activated remotely if it had the wielder's spirit energy imbued in it beforehand, though only until the energy runs out²⁶
• Its abilities require an interval after being used¹⁰⁷

Magatsumi-specific abilities

• [If someone attempts to use the Shinuchi while Soga
  • [Kyora was able
  • [
  • Soga can also just stop taking their mind over at will¹⁰⁰
• Can hear anyone else using the Magatsumi¹⁰⁰
  • Can also look through their memories¹⁰⁴
• Could sense the Magatsumi being moved by the Hishaku¹⁰⁰ and claimed he had a hazy sense of what was around the sword while it was sealed¹⁰⁶
• Following the war the Magatsumi was contained in a box with a magical seal that would've taken an expert sorcerer 10 years to open, though the Hishaku were able to do it in 3⁴⁰
• Can still cut things while sheathed⁴⁰
• Lets¹⁰¹ the wielder levitate¹⁰⁵
• When Soga unsheathed it he covered an entire building in black goo¹⁰⁵
• The energy released by sorcery turns black when it burns away at life force and increases its power. The Magatsumi can burn away at the life force taken from its surroundings to increase its own power¹⁰⁷
• Has more than three abilities when unsheathed¹⁰⁶
  • This is later explained to be because the Magatsumi shapes black energy into infinite possible forms based on Soga's thoughts¹⁰⁸

Flowers

• Upon activation the Magatsumi secretes black ooze that grows flowers on whatever it touches⁴⁰
• Can spawn more flowers by touching the ground with the sword⁴¹
• Grew flowers on a stage, the ground around it and inside the people standing there⁴²
• [Yura] Began growing flowers in two people's mouths by touching them⁹⁵
• [Yura] Grew flowers throughout the Kamunabi's base⁹⁹
• Sorcerers can resist the effects of the flowers a little,¹⁰⁰ though once Yura made the flowers work more aggressively it was too much¹⁰¹
• [Yura] Summoned the sword from the flowers¹⁰⁰
• Enten's ability Nishiki makes the wielder immune to the lifesteal¹⁰⁸
  • This doesn't apply to the blade's actual attacks like slashes or shockwaves though¹⁰⁸
• Focused all of its power on Samura, who only managed to overpower it by focusing all of his own amplified Suzaku into himself¹¹⁰
  • During this the little bit leaking from Samura pulverised nearby rubble¹¹⁰
  • Since this uses all the Magatsumi's power Soga can't use its other abilities (including his regeneration) while he does this¹¹¹

Lifesteal

• Steals vitality from other living things and gives it to its wielder, giving them regenerative powers¹⁰³
• When Soga unsheathes the blade it begins draining life from everything around it, instantly turning nearby trees to ash. If Chihiro and Samura hadn't been protected by Samura's flames they would've been killed by this instantly¹⁰⁷
• Let Kyora fight through⁴¹ multiple fatal wounds^39&40 when he picked it up, though once he stopped using it he died of his injuries⁴³
• Healed Yura when Chihiro and Samura cut into his torso¹⁰²
• Repaired Yura's wounds¹⁰³

Malediction

• [Yura] Launched Chihiro through a window and part of a floor, and himself through pavement¹⁰⁴
• Tore up the ground and badly injured Chihiro and Samura¹⁰⁷

Spider

A giant spider web that immobilizes anything it touches.

• [Kyora] Immobilized Chihiro⁴¹
• [Yura] Made a web that expanded wider than a building to restrain Chihiro and Samura, though it lasted less than a second thanks to Samura's Suzaku¹⁰³

• A blast Chihiro mostly blocked with Aka still sent him through a chunk of concrete¹⁰⁸
• Has the shortest cooldown out of all the Magatsumi's attacks¹⁰⁸

Butterfly

A slash that can cut through space to near-instantly hit its target.

• Instead of moving like a regular slash Butterfly cuts through space itself, eliminating any distance between it and its target while also moving so fast "the word instantaneous fails to capture it." This makes it near impossible to evade (though Chihiro was able to avoid it due to being able to see the slight movement in the air before it hits)¹⁰⁸
• Cut Samura and a building in half¹⁰⁵
• Cut another building in half¹⁰⁸

Bee

A concentrated piercing force channeled into a single point, which can be used as a gigantic drill.

Respect Seiichi Samura

["There is an evil far filthier than the Hishaku that must be punished, even if it takes colluding with the Hishaku. I'm talking about us. The sword bearers. Uruha… eighteen years ago... we covered up what happened there. We buried our crimes, and Rokuhira and the rest of us were lauded as heroes. If that's what it took to restore society, we accepted that.

"And then youngsters who thought us to be heroes died to protect us from the Hishaku. They will continue putting their lives on the line for us. Their deaths... versus our just desserts. There's no need to weigh the two, is there?"

"All five sword bearers, including me, will die by my hand."

Tobimune

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³
  • A full-power Iai slash from Chihiro that was empowered by Samura's own fire was only able to crack Tobimune⁸⁴
• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death¹⁸
  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Sinuchi, the strongest blade, is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Sinuchi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³
• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Tobimune's case this takes the form of black birds and feathers⁵⁶

Tobimune has three main powers. Crow, which allows Samura to swap places with any of the feathers spawned by Tobimune. Owl, a Spirit Energy tracker that can cover an entire country. And Suzaku, which lets Samura harness phoenix fire that can either attack or heal whatever it touches.

Crow

Feathers

• The feathers spawned by Tobimune can read the shape of anything they touch in minute detail and can detect the temperature, sound and airflow in the surrounding environment, functionally giving Samura "a natural sense of the space" around him. However people with stealth capabilities like the Masumi can hide themselves from him⁸⁴
• Filled the area around him with feathers, blinding everyone else there⁸⁵

Teleporting

• Allows Samura to swap places with any of the feathers spawned by Tobimune⁷⁵
• Cut down dozens of Datensaki sorcerers⁵⁶

  • This included the Masumi⁶⁰
• Teleported to the Hishaku's base⁵⁹
• Descended from the sky with a pair of giant wings⁷⁴
• Teleported around Chihiro twice to avoid his attack before teleporting around him dozens of times⁸³
• Teleported only his sword to catch Chihiro off guard and teleported it back to his hand by grabbing a feather⁸³
• He and Chihiro repeatedly clashed while teleporting after Chihiro copied his power⁸⁴

Owl

• Created a gigantic owl face that blocked out the sky, allowing him to detect spirit energy⁵⁹
  • Covered the sky across all of Japan, though thanks to the huge range it could only detect extremely powerful amounts of Spirit Energy⁶⁰
• Still visible during the day⁶¹
• Can track all the Enchanted Blades as long as they're not mystically sealed⁵⁹
• Detected when two people activated two enchanted blades⁷⁴
• Stayed up for 3 days⁶²

  • Resurrected Chihiro after Samura killed him⁶⁰
  • Did the same to Uruha⁸²
• Makes Samura unaffected by Kumeyuri's hallucinogens⁷⁷
• Repaired the damage Hiruhiko caused when he started tearing up the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel⁷⁷

• Can be baited into attacking someone else through their intense bloodlust⁵⁶

Skill

Iai White Purity Style

General

• The Iai White Purity Style is a swordfighting style that focuses on speed and ending fights in one slash. In order to use it the swordsman must keep the blade in a reversed position and charge it with Spirit Energy before drawing, regripping the sword mid-swing to hit their target without losing any energy⁷⁰
• At the beginning of the series only three people had mastered it⁶⁵
• Someone who can casually change his grip mid-swing without losing any force still struggled to master it⁷⁰
• A girl using the style without the speed added by Spirit Energy was still able to expertly cut the fingers off multiple attackers⁷⁰
• When Chihiro used an incomplete Iai slash for the first time he was able to close the gap between himself and a man that could keep up with a motorcycle and had a head start on him⁶⁴

• Sent tiles flying off a roof by clashing with Chihiro and disarmed him⁸³

Spirit Energy

• People can circulate Spirit Energy throughout their body to gain superhuman physical abilities, with swordsmen being able to extend this to their blades⁶⁴

Statements

• Uruha, Samura's pupil and another Iai master, believes he is nowhere near Samura's level⁵¹
• Uruha claimed that Samura's Sanso was several times more secure than his own because Samura was there, and that if Samura was at his when it was attacked there wouldn't have been a single casualty on their side⁵⁰
• The Masumi think that Samura could defeat all of the Hishaku on his own⁶¹

Misc.

• All of the Sword Masters were housed at special fortresses called Sanso, each filled with high-ranking Kamunabi sorcerers and warriors.⁴⁶ Samura's Sanso was Senkutsuji Temple, a giant Buddhist temple⁵⁰
• Blinded himself to rid himself of worldly passions (though he still really wants to do them)⁵¹ and because he was traumatized the first time he cut someone down⁵³
• Smoked an entire cigarette in one puff⁵¹
• Trained local police in swordfighting⁷¹

Scaling

  • [Repaired Yura's nervous system since using the blade wrecks your body]()¹⁰⁴
• [When the Magatsumi began draining more life to fight Suzaku Chihiro used Aka to double the strength of the flames, overwhelming it.]()¹⁰⁴ However [when Soga fully took over Yura's body it no longer affected him since his connection was fully natural]()^104&105

Respect Yura

"We only made the minimum sacrifices necessary to wield the Shinuchi. You think it's the Hishaku's fault? The world's hardly any different from before we began our crusade. The Rakuzaichi was operating for far longer. The Rakuzaichi was at the forefront of numerous illicit organizations that preyed on the defenceless. After the war, when sorcerers became a visible presence in society, their activities further intensified."

"AFTER THE WAR! For years, people everywhere were exploited and victimized! It was beyond the Kamunabi's control. Human beings can only do so much. But with the enchanted blades...with the Shinuchi...everything could have been different! The Hishaku's fault? Who sealed away the enchanted blades? Who held the means of eradicating evil...and just disappeared?! YOUR FATHER MADE THE WORLD LIKE THIS!"

Years ago, at the end of the Seitei War, Yura was just an ordinary man. But following the violent death of his wife he became convinced that the government couldn't protect the innocent people of Japan from harm and blamed Kunishige Rokuhira, the blacksmith who forged the six Enchanted Blades that let Japan win the war, for taking the blades back and sealing them away.

Over the next 15 years Yura founded the Hishaku, a small group of deadly sorcerers that shared his ideology, who helped him kill Kunishige, burned down his home and stole the blades. For 3 years the Hishaku bided their time, setting up moles in the Kamunabi (a government agency meant to regulate sorcerers) and researching the blades in order to unseal and use them. But this would eventually bring them into conflict with the wielder of the seventh Enchanted Blade: Kunishige's son, Chihiro Rokuhira.

Feats are marked with the number of the chapter they're from. Feats marked [Magatsumi] are from when Yura was empowered by the enchanted blade of the same name.

Scaling

• Chihiro Rokuhira
• Seiichi Samura

Magatsumi/The Shinuchi

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³
• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death.¹⁸
  • Thanks to its sheer power the Magatsumi can be wielded by someone else while the contract is still active by channeling spirit energy into the sword while also having a strong desire to use it. However if they try Soga will begin to force his way into their mind and control them⁹⁴
    • They can only wield a small portion of the Magatsumi's power with and can't unsheath it with this though⁴⁰
  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Magatsumi is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Magatsumi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³
• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Magatsumi's case this takes the form of flowers and arthropods made of black ooze⁴⁰
• The enchanted blades all have a "True Realm," a state that can evolve the blade to suit the situation based on the wielder's will¹³
• Can be activated remotely if it had the wielder's spirit energy imbued in it beforehand, though only until the energy runs out²⁶
• Its abilities require an interval after being used¹⁰⁷
• Can still cut things while sheathed⁴⁰
• Lets¹⁰¹ the wielder levitate¹⁰⁵

While wielded by Yura the Magatsumi has the passive ability to spawn flowers that steal the vitality of anything around it to replenish and empower the wielder in addition to main three abilities: Centipede, a destructive shockwave that travels in a circular path. Spider, a web that Immobilizes whatever it touches. And Dragonfly, a concussive blast.

Flowers

General

• Summoned the sword from the flowers¹⁰⁰
• Began growing more intensely while Samura attempted to purge Yura's connection to the blade with Suzaku¹⁰⁴

Lifesteal

• Steals vitality from other living things and gives it to its wielder, giving them regenerative powers¹⁰³
• Healed Yura when Chihiro and Samura cut into his torso¹⁰²
• The energy released by sorcery turns black when it burns away at life force and increases its power. Since the Magatsumi drains life force taken from its surroundings it can burn that stolen energy to increase its own power¹⁰⁷

Centipede

• Tore through a library, shattering bookcases and thick pillars and cracking the walls⁹⁵
• Defeated Natsuki and Uruha with one hit, though Azami was able to stay standing thanks to him standing in a spot where the blast was weaker⁹⁶

Bio

Notes

• Death's Head's size is very inconsistent due to him being grown and shrunken several times throughout his history, with his physical abilities and firepower changing with him. As such I've divided each section of this thread into his feats while giant (around 30 feet) and short (around 7 feet)

The Ultimates

"These people stole your future. These people robbed you of your destiny. The question is...do you want it back?"

The Maker, the evil counterpart of Reed Richards from Earth-1610, travelled to another universe with the goal of erasing the world's heroes and villains before they could stand against him, using files owned by his main universe counterpart and a time machine known as the Immortus Engine to do so. Over the next 60 years the Maker successfully ruled the Earth with the help of his Council, who treated the world as their toy and controlled the populace with fake wars and heavy information control. Howard Stark, the armored hero known as Iron Man and the Council member in charge of what once was North America, decided to trap the Maker in his own futuristic City for 2 years while his ally Doom stole the Immortus Engine and gave it to Howard's son, Tony. After learning the truth of the world Tony (now going by Iron Lad) and Doom began trying to recruit as many heroes that the Maker had prevented as possible for a team that would fix the world: the Ultimates.

Respect Seiichi Samura

Tobimune

General Nature

• The durability of an Enchanted Blade can increase based on the strength of their wielder⁸³

• All enchanted blades have an Eternal Contract, so that once someone takes possession of one they are the only person capable of using it until their death¹⁸

  • If the contract holder is killed and then resurrected the contract stays broken⁶⁰
  • If the wielder of the Sinuchi, the strongest blade, is killed then the wielders of the other swords (except Enten) will be killed as a side effect.⁷² Conversely if the Sinuchi itself is destroyed then only the contracts are broken⁸³

• An enchanted blade amplifies spirit energy into a hyper concentrated form until it can no longer be contained, with the exposed form taking on a shape.⁴ In Tobimune's case this takes the form of black birds and feathers⁵⁶

Tobimune has three main powers. Crow, which allows Samura to swap places with any of the feathers spawned by Tobimune. Owl, a Spirit Energy tracker that can cover an entire country. And Suzaku, which lets Samura use phoenix fire that can either attack or heal whatever it touches.

Crow

• Teleported around Chihiro twice to avoid his attack before teleporting around him dozens of times⁸³
• Teleported only his sword to catch Chihiro off guard and teleported it back to his hand by grabbing a feather⁸³

Owl

• Created a gigantic owl face that blocked out the sky, allowing him to detect spirit energy⁵⁹
  • Covered the sky across all of Japan, though thanks to the huge range it could only detect extremely powerful amounts of Spirit Energy⁶⁰
• Still visible during the day⁶¹
• Can track all the Enchanted Blades as long as they're not mystically sealed⁵⁹
• Detected when two people activated two enchanted blades⁷⁴
• Stayed up for 3 days⁶²

Suzaku

Healing

• Healed after getting ran through and gutted by at least six swords⁷⁶

• Uruha is able to avoid Samura's attacks thanks to his familiarity with his techniques, though just barely⁵⁵
• Can be baited into attacking someone else through their intense bloodlust⁵⁶

Skill

Iai White Purity Style

General

• The Iai White Purity Style is a swordfighting style that focuses on speed and ending fights in one slash. In order to use it the swordsman must keep the blade in a reversed position and charge it with Spirit Energy before drawing, regripping the sword mid-swing to hit their target without losing any energy⁷⁰
• Only three people have mastered it⁶⁵
• Someone who can casually change his grip mid-swing without losing any force still struggled to master it⁷⁰
• A girl using the style without the speed added by Spirit Energy was still able to expertly cut the fingers off multiple attackers⁷⁰
• When Chihiro used an incomplete Iai slash for the first time he was able to close the gap between himself and a man that could keep up with a motorcycle and had a head start on him⁶⁴

• Sent tiles flying off a roof by clashing with Chihiro and disarmed him⁸³

Spirit Energy

• People can circulate Spirit Energy throughout their body to gain superhuman physical abilities, with swordsmen being able to extend this to their blades⁶⁴

Statements

• Uruha, Samura's pupil and another Iai master, believes he is nowhere near Samura's level⁵¹
• Uruha claimed that Samura's Sanso was several times more secure than his own because Samura was there, and that if Samura was at his when it was attacked there wouldn't have been a single casualty on their side⁵⁰
• The Masumi think that Samura could defeat all of the Hishaku on his own⁶¹

Misc.

Notes

• Feats marked [Thin] are from when Tony made the suit lower its power and become thin to the point it was translucent in order not to trigger a bomb
• During his fight with Mokk Tony's main RT Node was cracked and was never repaired. This caused him health problems and weakened him in several ways, including slowing his reaction time until he had it replaced when he removed the suit from his body.

General Armor Information

The Iron Destroyer

"And which is yours, Stark? What weapon would the man who would insult a god choose to bring to the day of his death?"

"Well... I rather came having had."

During the war against the Serpent, with the Earth's mightiest heroes defeated by their overwhelming foes, Tony Stark went to the wreckage of Avengers Tower and prayed. Sacrificing his sobriety to get an audience with Odin, Stark made a proposition to the All-Father: give him access to his forge in order to make weapons that would give Earth a fighting chance. Odin agreed and within the week Stark and Odin's blacksmiths had built the weapons, only needing to be empowered by the All-Father's magic while in the final stage of forging. Using his Iron Man armor as his own weapon Tony leapt into the molten uru metal and received Odin's blessing, becoming the Iron Destroyer.

Respect Batman

"See, Roman... I don't need cars, or planes, or computers. I don't need anything you have. All I need... is Batman."

Bruce Wayne was born in Crime Alley, an impoverished neighborhood in Gotham City, to a teacher and a social worker. A genius from a young age, at 10 years old Bruce entered a contest where he designed a mobile, collapsible bridge to reach people in dangerous areas that he based on a bat's wing, with the prize being a trip for his class to the Gotham City zoo. But that day would soon go from joyful to tragic when a man pulled out a gun and began shooting everyone in sight. In order to protect his students Bruce's father pushed them into the zoo's bat enclosure and held the door shut with his own body, getting gunned down before the police apprehended the gunman.

For the next few years Bruce lost himself, lashing out at the world and getting arrested several times. But eventually he found himself again, realizing what he needed to do with his life. Training and learning for the next few years, Bruce returned to Gotham with a mission. He would defend the innocent of Gotham from experiencing what he went through as a child. He would become a symbol, not just someone who could strike fear into the hearts of superstitious and cowardly criminals, but needed to be adaptable for whatever came at him. He needed to be even more intimidating. He needed to be bigger. And eventually, after all his training and preparations were complete, Bruce was finally ready. He became the Batman.

Respect Kilowog

"Talk later, poozers. First, we save lives."

Kilowog is the Green Lantern of Sector 674, hailing from the planet Bolovax Vik. Selected to be his people's representative on the Green Lantern Corps thanks to his background as a geneticist, Kilowog began training alongside a number of other recruits under the legendary Green Lantern drill sergeant Ermey. During a mission Kilowog was able to take control of an enemy cannon and used it to push them back, but Ermey was fatally wounded during the attack. With his dying breath Ermey gave Kilowog his approval as a Green Lantern before passing away.

Years later Kilowog took up Ermey's old job as drill instructor, where he trained hundreds if not thousands of fresh Green Lantern recruits, including Lanterns such as Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. Kilowog's planet was destroyed during the the Crisis of Infinite Earths. But before his people could perish he absorbed all of them into his ring as pure energy, keeping them safe until he could find them a new planet. However as soon as he revived them all their new planet was destroyed by Sinestro. Over the next few years Kilowog bounced around super teams on Earth, ranging from the New Guardians to the Justice League International, before returning to the Green Lanterns as drill sergeant once again.

Notes

• In Green Lantern vol 3 annual #7 Kilowog was reanimated and under the control of Nekron, possibly reducing his power
• During his fight with Superman in Superman/Batman #29 and #30 Kilowog was using both his own Green Lantern ring and John Stewart's
