Harisen Fan History Lesson

[Seere LaBeyken]

I was just looking at weapons again and found out some neat history on Japanese Fans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harisen

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessenjutsu

In game there is an outfit that resembles the Guilty Gear character "Anji Mito" who uses Zessen Fans as his weapons i might go for it to bad there is only one set of fans :( (I have to many character ideas)

There is also some history behind the Kan Yu and Asura-hiken:

Kan Yu:
"This weapon is named after Guan Yu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guan_Yu). The shape of its blade is similar to the blade of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Dragon_Crescent_Blade)".

Asura-hiken:
"This weapon may be named after the Asura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asura), a group of supernatural beings in some religions."

Shura-hiken, name after Shuriken obviously <,<

[Ruru]

yes there are a lot of PSU weapons with similar names to ancient japanese myths/legends

shi kikami - shikigami
masamunera - masamune
kusanagira - kusanagi blade
murasamera - murasame

i like how they add quite a few little "easter eggs" so to speak in some of the items/weapon names
