Manji (Blade of The Immortal) - Weapons

Weapons

Aside from his high bodycount, one of the most notorious things about Manji is the number of weapons he carries with him at all times, earning him the nickname "Mister Twelve Blades." In addition to owning a number of his own, he sometimes takes weapons off his defeated opponents and tends to name them after their previous owners. Below is a listing of his weapons including a short description of each and their previous owners.

  • Karasu (The Crow) - A pair of weapons that resemble large throwing stars, but with a hole in their centers allowing them to be spun on a finger for parrying or attacks. One has four blades while the other has three, though they are both used in exactly the same way. They were previously owned by Kuroi Sabato.
  • Shido (The Four Paths) - A pair of forked blades (sort of resembling bladed jitte) with holes at the pommel and hilt areas allowing them to be spun similar to the Karasu, or to be linked by a chain. They were previously owned by Shido Hishiyasu.
  • Imo-No-Kami Tatsumasa (Sister Defender Tatsumasa) - A pair of katana forged by famed swordsmith Toratoru Kotetsu. The handles are removable, allowing for one blade to be attached to the pommel of the other. Previously owned by Saitō Tatsumasa.
  • Aun - A collapsable double bladed spear. Previously owned by Hage, a member of the Itto-Ryu.
  • No Name - A pair of sickle-like blades linked by a seven-foot length of chain that's fitted into their handles. Manji will occasionally attach them to the ends of other weapons, like the Shido. Taken by Giichi when Manji breaks the Mito-no-Kami.
  • Sukehiro Ametsubaki (Rain Camellia) - A nihon-to forged by the master swordsmith Sukehiro.
  • Kotengu (Little Devil) - A short forked blade, almost dagger sized, with one of the blades forming a hook. Frequently used by Manji for climbing things.
  • Okorobi (Man Toppler) - A large straight sword (club?) with multiple hooks coming off it.
  • Merabi (Lady Gadfly) - A heavy looking sword with an odd wave like blade.
