  • The legendary swords of Muramasa Sengo were famous for their sharpness and quality. The Japanese also called them cursed. Their were stories of owners of Muramasa blades suddenly striking down their enemies, lost in bloodlust. The famed swordsmith himself was called crazy, a bloodthirsty demon.
    Tokugawa Ieyasu believed in these stories and was convinced that Muramasa blades were cursed. He thought these demon blades targeted the Tokugawa clan. It is not surprising why, his family had a history of bad luck with Muramasa blades.
    NOTE: I mispronounced some of the names here. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

      Linfamy Did you know that there is a special satanic ritual which uses a Katana to raise the body of a mercenary. The ritual involves removing a virgin girls face with the katana and singing "in the name of Hecate I command the dead killer to breath one more" After the girl has died from blood loss to the face the ritual is complete and an undead mercenary will be at your disposal. Ps the only reason I said virgin girl is because this spell raises a male mercenary. If you want a female mercenary then you have to use a virgin boy. :)

    I'm not the invincible swordsman, Jūbei,
    I'm not the one praised as a master of espionage, Hanzō,
    I'm not the renowned caster Abe no Seimei.
    Why, out of all people, I, a swordsmith, was summoned.
    For being unable to foresee that, this is your defeat.
    Once seeking for the ultimate blade.
    A blade of steel cutting no flesh, nor bones and neither life.
    What I seek for is the clearance of resentment.
    The cutting of bonds, fate and destiny.
    That is, to free oneself from Karma.
    Upon one's arrival are countless tools.
    Carved over a thousand blades, forming a pile of swords.
    This is the place where all paths cross.
    This is the place where all desires flow.
    This is the place where all deaths await
    My whole life was for this single swing.
    The heart of the blade is right here!
    Take this, This is my Tsumukari Muramasa!!!

    Muramasa is an enemy sword for Shogun's Tokugawa.
    Another name is Sengo Muramasa or Senji Muramasa.
    Muramasa takes the Tokugawa family and is said to be an ominous sword.
    Because it is a sword that the samurai of the opposition regime wanted.
    So, at the end of the Tokugawa period, Samurai who tried to defeat the Tokugawa family wanted Muramasa and imitations came out.
    It's a sword that was so popular.
    Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather was killed by Muramasen's sword.And the thugs who struck Ieyasu's father used Muramasa.
    Also, the sword when Ieyashu's eldest son Nobuyasu used Hara-kiri,
    And the sword used when cutting the neck was also Muramasa. Ieyasu himself is also wounded many times with Muramasa's sword.
    Sanada Yukimura, as a wish to destroy Ieyasu, is said to have always had an ominous Muramasa to the Tokugawa family..Sanada Yukimura wins the Tokugawa army twice.
    I think the creator knew the balance between the quality of the sword and the labor of work. Although it is a mass-produced sword of low price, it can be said that it is a miracle sword that it is really sharp and sharp.
    Katana can chop when Samurai wants to chop,it can not chop when he do not wants to chop. it is best to make katana like thats.
    Muramasa is always chopable and sharp
