𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 / 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

❀   𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈 ; It is incredibly difficult for someone to push or lift Heshikiri around; be it someone trying to push him around or strong winds doing their thing, chances are that it will all be fruitless. This is a reference to his actual sword and the story behind his name as “Heshikiri” translates to “pressure slash” (Hasebe is the name of the swordsmith who made him). The story follows that Nobunaga could not forgive the mistake of his tea servant and was so enraged that he tried to execute him. Following by, this servant tried to hide in a cupboard but Nobunaga cut through the wood and killed him by simply letting the weight of the blade fall down, hence heshi’s name. Putting the story to the side, the downside of this is that if he happens to trip over, the impact is bigger and thus he’ll probably end up with a bruise

❀  𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐔 ; Since ishikirimaru is so tall when someone talks to him he tends to lean down a little !

❀  𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐔 ; On the same note, everyday Ishikirimaru without fault (unless on an expedition) will sprinkle water at the entrance of the citadel both in the morning and evening as a cleansing ritual. If this takes place in a diff verse, he’ll do the same but at the entrance of his saniwa’s home or room. The purpose of this? it serves as to purify sins and uncleanliness alongside with bad luck (amongst others). Another thing is that Ishikirimaru always carries a small pouch with salt for cleansing purposes as well.

❀  𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐍 ; Kasen is knowledgeable in many areas ! aside poetry and tea ceremonies, he knows about growing flowers and plants and taking care of them (which is something we saw in hanamaru) To add to this, he is cultured in the design of landscapes !

❀  𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 ; It is already a known fact in game that Jiji possesses powers related to the moon, just like how he was able to literally become part of the moon for some time during an event in the game; to add to this, I like to think that just like how Gawain benefits from the sun, Jiji benefits from the moon; so if he’s used at night, his powers increase due to this relation he has with the moon

❀  𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐀 ; During his kiwame’s awakened form, we can notice a dragon appearing around Ookurikara, which I like to think that Ookurikara’s dragon tattoo on his arm is not merely an illusion but can actually manifest as an actual dragon as the personification of Fudō Myō-ō, though this is something that he can’t easily control pre-kiwame as he hasn’t yet understood his nature

❀  𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐔 &  𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈 ; (Due to their stats) Ishikirimaru and Shokudaikiri are not the fastest runners and if the team is lacking horses, they are usually the ones that tend to receive them before anyone else

❀  𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐊𝐔𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈 ; Under Shokudaikiri’s eyepatch, he does actually have an eye ! he can’t see well with his left eye and although the circumstances that have affected it (which u will have to find out) are different from the ones that took Masamune’s own due to smallpox, it coincidentally happens to mirror Masamune's own missing eye except on Shoku’s case its his left and not right one like his previous owner

❀  𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐄 ; Despite his former master’s reputation, Nagasone’s character is pretty laid back and friendly. Fighting is entirely reserved for training and real threats only, and despite the fact that sometimes he headbutts with Mutsunokami, he naturally does not possess a violent nature and would never raise his sword against allies or friends. Unlike many swords that tend to share traits their former masters possessed, Nagasone has his own different traits which are a result of his nature as a counterfeit that decided to forge his own story upon acquiring a spirit
