![]() ![]() In the live-action series of RuroKen films, Sakabatō Shinuchi is apparently known as Sakabatō Keishi.However, this story is also the only one-shot which is not canon, as the characters Megumi, Kaoru and Yahiko are siblings who inherited the Kamiya dojo. The Sakabato that Kenshin uses in all versions of the series are visually identical, with the sole exception of the one introduced in the first Rurouni one-shot drawn by Watsuki, where the decorations around its hilt are very different.Kenshin then takes and uses the sword while in Hokkaido. Unlike most of the Japanese sword names mentioned in this article, Shichishito is from a sword whose design does not lend itself to combat. In the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc, Yahiko gave the sakabato back to Kenshin. In the non-canon OVA Samurai X: Reflection, Yahiko in turn passes the sword on to as his own genpuku gift.Īs a testament of its quality, when this sword clashed with Sojiro's Kikuichimonji Norimune, which was far superior to the Nagasoni Kotetsu which snapped the Kageuchi Sakabatō, on an even battoujutsu, it wasn't even scratched while landing a crack on Sojiro's sword. My son reviles, but for my grandson, I bleed." After transferring shinuchi into kageuchi's old hilt and a new steel sheath, it becomes Kenshin's new sakabatō until 1882 when he passes it on to Myōjin Yahiko as a genpuku gift. On the steel inside the hilt, Shakkū had engraved a short poem reading "Slashing myself, I have trained countless blades. After Himura took possession of Sakabatō Shinuchi with the permission of Shakkū's son Arai Seikū, using it against Sawagejō Chō of the Juppongatana, the wooden hilt is unable to withstand being used for Kenshin's Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū: Ryūkansen Tsumuji and crumbles, revealing a hidden engraving. Of stronger forge than Kageuchi, the shinuchi was hilted and sheathed in a shirasaya mount for storage and adorned with paper charms. ![]() While the kageuchi was given away, the Sakabatō Shinuchi was prepared for and given to the Hakusan Shrine in Kyoto as the temple's holy sword. The sword was broken in May of 1878 when Kenshin dueled Seta Sōjirō in Shingetsu Village.ĭespite only being the kageuchi or shadow of the true sakabatō, this sword possessed superior quality than a normal Japanese sword, having easily broken one used by Saitō. Its hilt is without decoration and set in a simple, oval handguard and the sword itself is worn in a black steel sheath. Given to Himura by Arai Shakkū immediately after the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, Sakabatō Kageuchi served as the rurouni's trusted sword for ten years afterward. However, each copy eventually makes its way into the hands of Himura Kenshin. Like with all manufacture of holy swords, two copies of the Sakabatō were made, a kageuchi (影打, Shadow Performer) and a shinuchi (真打, Star Performer), as was the custom. Its fittings are humble and simple, but vary upon depictions throughout.įorged as a holy sword, the last of Arai Shakkū's blades were made in offering to honor the new peace that the Meiji Era would bring, and for him and its wielder, the end of his career of creating weapons for violence and death, and for Kenshin, the end of his days as a hitokiri, and the promise to never take another human life again.
