Kagari Rokushikisouken: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:10, 30 November 2017

The Kagari Rokushikisouken (篝=六式双剣) are a set of paired twin swords with detachable blades. They are currently owned by Hibiki Kohaku.

These swords are short and thick. Each blade is made up of multiple segments and can detach from its handle through the use of a trigger. The blades come with a sheathe to slot blades into. Hibiki generally uses the Kagari Rokushikisouken with one held in a reverse grip and the other sheathed, his hand resting on its handle. After certain moves or winning a round, Hibiki will detach both blades and reach for replacements.

Kagari Rokushikisouken's segments are inconsistent, being shown as having as many as ten segments or as little as six.

Etymology

The character for kagari is 篝, which means brazier (a type of heater), and which is the same kagari in Touya Kagari's name (the two are otherwise completely unrelated). Rokushikisouken is 六式双剣, literally Type-Six Twin Swords. The whole name could be translated as: Brazier: Type-Six Twin Swords.^[1]

-The exact kanji for Rokushisouken is unknown as its name has only been spoken out loud and never shown in written form. ''Kagari'' may be 縢り, which means ''darning'' (to sew up), or the less likely 篝, which means ''brazier'', a type of heater. ''Rokushisouken'' is likely 六枝双剣, literally ''Six Sets of Twin Swords''. The name could be translated as: ''Darning: Six Sets of Twin Swords''.
