User blog:WanderingAsura/Oniyukiyasu (Sword)

Appearance
The blade of the Oniyukiyasu is made of an unknown red crystal that is rumored to be of extraterrestrial origin that pulsates with crimson magnetic energy. The tsuba, fushi, & kashira have ancient spells & seals in gold, silver, founded upon the 7 Secret Tibetan metals. The saya, or scabbard is made from the Sacred Oak wood with a Midnight Black finish wrapped with scarlet silk wraps.

Abilities
The Oniyukiyasu]has the supernatural ability to absorb many raw energies into the blade without breaking or cracking it. Ancient shamanic spells perfected by Mitsurugi Musashi´s great grandmother Himiko (卑弥呼) granted the blade to become hotter than the surface of the sun or colder than the glaciers of the Antarctica. The blade is rumored to also have some of the mystic forbidden secrets of the Dragon´s Eye forged within her sharper than a razor´s edge.

Drawbacks
Since the red blade is home to a living Oni, the Oniyukiyasu is a powerful shamanic weapon that can not only defeat humans, but monsters & demons as well. Since she was once one of the generals of the evil Oni army, the nature of the blade is that of death, destruction, & darkness. Yet because of how the Oni chose to selflessly sacrifice everything she knew, including herself, the blade has massive amounts of potential for life, creation, & light. This leads to the fundamental flaw of this katana, because of the incredible power it has, it reveals the weaknesses of the wielder. If the person who dares grip her tsuka hesitates or is unsure of who he or she is... the person will be doomed to be ripped apart. Therefore it is vitally important to know exactly who you are & what you are about before attempting to wield this Legendary Katana.

Trivia

 * Oniyukiyasu (鬼雪安) literally means in Japanese (鬼/Oni = devil) (雪/yuki = snow/going) (安/yasu = cheap)
 * In Soul Caliber IV, the blade is one of the most powerful katanas available for Custom Characters based on Mitsurugi, as it has the innate skill of Auto Unblockable Attack B which gives the player a chance of turning the next high damage attack into an Unblockable Attack.
 * It can be gained after defeating Story Mode with Mitsurugi for 22,000 Gold (Ironically, not a cheap price for this blade).
