The 4th legendary sword

[Kratos123]

There's the sange, the Yasha, the third one and one final one, what is it? Is it even real?

[VioletSkye]

Kamui and Agito. The 1975 Agito can be transformed into Orotiagito.

Thankyou, I had forgotten about the Kamui being one and I have been searching for an Agito not thinking it was one of the swords however I had a theory it might be cause whenI looked it up the description said that it was maid by Jou'un.

[Neith]

No, the 4 legendary swords are Kamui, Sange, Yasha and Agito, but ONLY the 1975 model Agito- the rest are replicas. The real one is made by Dousetsu. Then Sange is Jou'un, Kamui is Tengai, and Yasha is Kikoku.

if I remember correctly, it is 3 blacksmiths and an appentice that are said to have made the swords.

[KaFKa]

You remember correctly, Uriko.

[Charmander02]

So is the apprentice of the blcksmiths is the guy who turns your Agito-1975 into the Oriagito?

[Neith]

No, he (as far as I'm aware) is just a tekker who offers to clean the 1975 Agito up, restoring it to it's former condition (The Orotiagito).

I'm not actually sure where the story of the blacksmiths and the apprentice came from, I just remember seeing it somewhere.

[Saffran]

The tekker in that quest explains it to you.

[Kratos123]

Okay tell me this, though off topic, what is the stoy behind the Musashi, Yamato and the Asuka. Yeah lets see if you know that! Cause I do.

[xxTrystanxx]

No idea. But I do know there was a real samurai named Musashi who specialized in wielding two swords.

[Forte1224]

They're Japanese words. Can't remember what they mean though.

nothing else.

[Kratos123]

You haven't heard of the tale. I'll tell you. Musashi Yamato or Iyamato was a legendary double wielding swordsman that once beat a guy to death with a paddle instead of having to waste the honor of using his swords. They say that he has so much Chi or Ki that if he walked into a room people would feel his lifeforce and just step away, there was no getting in his way. Also the Musashi and Yamato were famous Battleships in World War 1. Musashi Yamato kicks as*!

[xxTrystanxx]

Musashi Miyamoto. Close Enough.

The USS Yamato was also the Enterprise's sister ship http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Kratos123]

Rock on man!!! Now is there a story behind the Asuka? That ,newblets, is the question.

[Solstis]

The Yamato never actually sunk another ship, from what I remember.

It was annihilated by US bombers. Too big, too slow.

Wikipedia comes through again;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asuka

The top part of the article reads;
"Asuka is the name of the old Japanese capital of the 6th century, Asuka (飛鳥, Asuka?). The capital gave the Asuka period its name.

Also derived from this city is the fairly common Japanese given name Asuka. It is written with the same characters and can be male or female. There is an alternative way of writing the female name, 飛鳥 or 明日香."

Then it lists some places and people.

'Yer Welcome.

1. Yamato goes back further than the name of a ship. It refers to both a historic part of Japan, c.500AD & a plain near Osaka.

2. The story of Miyamoto Musashi told here is partially true. He actually wittled the wood to create a simple sword. Nothing too fancy, just enough for it to be effective. He purposely waited to annoy his opponent then appeared. With 1 crack on the man's head, he was instantly killed. Musashi satisfied, walked away.

[xxTrystanxx]

Musashi in fact preferred wooden swords as well.

Theyre lighter & easier to use. It would take great strength to crack someone on the head & kill them in 1 blow. I dont just mean physical strength. Focusing inner power into 1 blow requires some mental strength & endurance.

The warrior is the weapon. The sword is the extension.
