Notes

This weapon is intended to have only one

Refinement Rank, which is confirmed by Refine
page of weapon's Details menu.

Description

A long blade of the color of blood, upon which has

been bestowed the name Isshin. It is remarkably
sharp and vividly ominous.
It is said that this blade can easily cleave through a
porous bamboo basket and the water within it before
the latter can even leak out.

People often say that within the body of every blade

rests a blade-spirit.
Then it is natural to assume that a blade forged by the
Tatarigami is dwelled by a demon of malice.
The renowned blade Kagotsurube Isshin is forged by
the swordsmith Akame Kanenaga, who failed to
become the head blacksmith.
Though forged by the hand of an Inazuman
swordsmith, this blade was not made in the nation of
thunder and Jade Steel, but in a snow-covered land
in the far north.
If beheld in the moonlight, the blade's hamon would
look as if it were flowing, like the blood and tears of a
wayfaring wanderer.

"The 'Tatarigami' is pure malice by nature. It bears

resentment against mortal desire."
"Swords are merely instruments of misfortune.
Without wickedness, they will not birth slaughter.
Without hate, they would never know the taste of
blood."
"'Isshin' is the stillness of the mind, free of
distractions. This purity of desire empowers the
swordsmith to forge tirelessly."
"But by this token, resentment against living beings is
the metal from which a blade that kills shall be
forged."

In their frenzied passion to practice "Isshin," the

Akame School had always pursued the forging of a
killer blade that could reach the extremes of lethality.
As such, the body and mind of the members of the
Akame School were often withdrawn and short-
spanned, their hearts venomously graven.
The blades made by the Akame School were keen
indeed, but many of them had some evil within that
ultimately led to the school itself being regarded by
the authorities as "undesirable."
For this reason, the Akame School's position as the
leader of the Isshin Art, passed down from Mitsunaga,
did not last three generations before being rescinded
by the authorities.

After that, Akame Kanenaga was involved in the Case

of the Eccentric and committed treason.
This led him to change his name and leave for a
snow-covered nation in the far north, to make a
humble living in the land ruled by imperious ice.
The only wish of the deceased Kaedehara was to see
the Isshin Art celebrated by those who understood a
sword's beauty.
But the swordsmith, the blade, and the Tatarigami
were all tools and titles for people to wield...

"I spent half of my life in pursuit of the vanity that is

the Isshin Art, it only turned out that I became
another 'Kaedehara'!"
"Ah, what's done is done. My only hope is that the
sword born in the ice and frost will not be as weak as
its useless title..."

The Kaedehara Clan were master swordsmiths whose

works best symbolized Masagomaru's style; whilst the
Niwa Clan were humble and diligent, skilled in clay
tempering.
In their frenzied passion to practice "Isshin," the
Akame School had always pursued the forging of a
killer blade that could reach the extremes of lethality.
As he passed away amidst the vast snow, the man
only wished to forge a renowned blade with which to
restore the name of Kaedehara and win back the
recognition of the people...

Lore

Akame Kanenaga, a skilled swordsmith who fled

Inazuma to Snezhnaya when Scaramouche was
executing the destruction of the Isshin Art of the
Raiden Gokaden, forged Kagotsurube Isshin out of
regret. He used the power of the Tatarigami to infuse
the blade with its own consciousness and, on his
deathbed, told the blade of his wish to show Inazuma
that the Isshin Art could still produce magnificent
blades and was still worthy of the Raiden Shogun's
trust.

The blade then began his long journey back to

Inazuma. However, the hatred that is intrinsic to the
Tatarigami warped the blade's drive into a desire to
rival the gods at any cost, and he began to use
humans as tools in his journey by possessing them
until they were no longer of use before discarding
them.

By the time the blade arrived in Inazuma, his power

was greatly diminished. During the events of
Kaedehara Kazuha's Story Quest, Acer Palmatum
Chapter Act I: A Strange and Friendless Road, he
encounters Kazuha and is forced to face his lack of
power as well as the truth of his own corruption by
the source of his consciousness. He then decides to
control Kazuha, with Kazuha's consent, to forge
himself anew at the cost of his own consciousness so
that Kazuha may use it in his studies, with the hope
that the Isshin Art will one day produce a blade that
will place the Isshin Art back in high regard by the
Raiden Shogun. Before the blade's consciousness
fades away, he reveals his name, Kagotsurube Isshin,
to Kazuha.
