The Nakatsukasa Clan (中務のクラン, Nakatsukasa no Kuran) is an ancient, special weapon clan notable for it's ability in inheriting the weapon abilities of their ancestors.[4]

History[]

The Nakatsukasa Clan was formed centuries ago around the time the demon weapons were first created, their ancestors having directly originated from demon weapons created by the Mother of Demon Weapons, witch Arachne Gorgon.[1]

Nearly over two decades ago, the latest generation of Nakasukasa members were born under Sanjuro Nakatsukasa and his significant other, with the firstborn being Masamune. Unlike other previous generations, he notably did not possess the multi-form ability like other firstborns of the Nakatsukasa Clan members of previous generations, instead inheriting only the Uncanny Sword form. Sanjuro's secondborn, Tsubaki, was instead born with the multi-form abiity. As the children grew, Masamune came to resent his younger sibling, as pity from others & his sister influenced his viewpoint on himself. Eventually, Masamune pursued the Path of a Kishin.[5][6]

Overview[]

The weapons clan is notable for it's members inheriting the same weapon forms of their ancestors (particularly Japanese-based weaponry) in which includes the weapon forms of a ninja sword, chain scythe, smoke bomb, transformation, and a Japanese sword. For much of the family's history, the firstborn child of a generation typically inherits the majority of the weapons transformations although in Masamune's case, the weapon forms instead skipped him and was later inherited by the second-born and youngest.[6]

The Japanese sword weapon form of the Nakatsukasa Clan is known as the Uncanny Sword, a powerful weapon capable of soul possession and is inhabited by an entity known as the Will of Nakatsukasa, a soul wavelength within the possessor of the Uncanny Sword in which governs it's power towards a Nakatsuaksa clans member's meister.[6][7]

Special Abilities[]

The Nakatsukasa Clan are known for practicing various special abilities such as:

  • Soul Possession (魂憑依, Tamashī Hyōi): A technique in which allows a weapon to possess another's soul and consume it. A specialty of those who inherit the Uncanny Sword, it is also a technique used by ordinary members although to a lesser degree of skill usually.[6]

Weapon Forms[]

A special clan, members of the Nakatsukasa Clan inherited weapon transformations of their ancestors.

  • Uncanny Sword (妖刀, Yōtō): A very formidable and powerful weapon originating from the clan that allows a meister to control their own shadows for offensive attacks.[5] Masamune Nakatsukasa inherited this weapon transformation but was later passed onto his younger sister, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa.[6]
