Jashin Blade

The is Jugglus Juggler's katana and his primary weapon to complement his proficiency in the swordsmanship. The weapon first appears in Ultraman Orb and has since been associated with the character in the subsequent media after that.
When not in use, Juggler either keeps the Jashin Blade sheathed and/or stored in the void. He also brings the katana to Jinobe for regular maintenance at times, as only the cold waters of Planet La Rochefoucauld is strong enough to withstand the Jashin Blade's heat upon reforging. 
==History==
The Jashin Blade has been in Juggler's possession since his time working alongside Gai as a rescue team member.
===Ultraman Orb: THE ORIGIN SAGA===
Juggler uses the weapon as part of his and Gai's participation in the campaign against Psychi and his army of Bezelbs. It was through his display of Jashin Blade that draws Micott's attention to him, hoping to learn the ways of Jashin Style under his wing. He was briefly disarmed from his signature weapon, forcing Micott to fetch for him but she was killed by a Bezelb when she failed to use the Jashin Blade to defend herself. Falling into a state of despair, Juggler obtains his Demon Form for the first time and use his sword to chop the Tree of Life, an act which forever changes the fate of Planet Kanon. 
===Ultraman Orb Chronicle===
Having denounced his partnership with Gai, Juggler went off to take on mercenary jobs while slowly descending into darkness. The Jashin Blade also played a part in his downfall by goading him to embrace the darkness even further. 
===Ultraman Orb===
Juggler's first use of Jashin Blade was during a card game with the Planet Invasion Union members as a form of self defense. He also uses the Katana again as a form of self defense and intimidation tactics against his prey. At one point, it was stolen from his by Tarude to avenge the fallen Planet Invasion Union members, forcing him to rely on Orb's help to reclaim it. Having lost his Dark Ring prior to the aforementioned incident, Juggler trains with the Jashin Blade to settle his fight against Gai/Orb, using the sword first to harvest the darkness to grow big and finally clashing it against the Orb Calibur in what appears to be their final showdown. When Magata no Orochi rampages on Earth, Juggler once again delivers his help to Gai, using their swords to fight the planet eater before he seemingly held the monster at bay for Orb to deliver the finishing blow.
===Ultraman Orb The Movie: Let Me Borrow the Power of Bonds!===
Juggler uses the Jashin Blade to conjure a portal and banish the Dark Ring to ensure Murnau's plan did not come to pass, as well as freeing the petrified Ultras. 
===Jugglus Juggler Chronicle: Ja no Michi wa Hebi===
Juggler returns to Planet Kanon after the events of Ultraman Geed The Movie: Connect the Wishes!, discovering that his act of slicing the Tree of Life with the Jashin Blade created a series of events which led to Planet Kanon transformed into a tourism center under Interstellar Alliance. Juggler uses the Jashin Blade as his main weapon and at times displaying its vulnerability to EMP-based attacks. After saving an amnesiac Biranki, Juggler brings her to Planet La Rochefoucauld where he puts her under Jinobe's care while getting his recent maintenance for his Jashin Blade. 
===Ultraman Z===
Although the weapon spent most of its time wielded by Juggler, its most prominent role was engaging in a match against Alien Barossa II to compete for the possession of Beliarok. Juggler was last seen using the Jashin Blade to stun the SAAG members, allowing STORAGE to retake their base and finally preventing Celebro from escaping.
==Powers==
*Length Increase: Juggler can increase the length of his sword; doing so causes the blade to glow purple.
*Energy Slash: Juggler can unleash a purple, crescent-shaped energy slash from his sword, whether he is in his giant or human-sized forms. In THE ORIGIN SAGA, when Juggler increased the length of his sword, he was able to release an energy slash the same length as his extended sword. When arriving to assist Orb in the final fight against Magatano-Orochi, a variant of this technique is seen, which is yellow in color with yellow sparkles.
*Wormhole Creation: Through the Jashin Blade, Juggler can summon a wormhole in the sky. This was used to bring Maga-Orochi's tail as one of the components of Zeppandon, then used again to seal the Dark Ring.
*: Juggler unleashes a powerful dark energy slash attack via his katana.
*Size Change: Juggler raises his katana, which calls upon the darkness to envelop his body and turn him into a giant. He lost this power after injuring himself in an atmospheric re-entry to Haruki's Planet Earth.
*: Juggler's finisher, where he unleashes a dark red crescent-shaped energy slash from his sword upon his opponent. A successful hit has an electrocuting effect on the victim.
*Darkness Detection: Juggler's katana is capable of detecting huge amounts of darkness underneath the Earth's surface. The katana glows purple when doing this.
*Barrier: Juggler creates a dark barrier using his sword.
*Item Duplication: By calling the power of the , the sword is capable of duplicating any item to their dark counterparts, which is how he copied Haruki's Z Riser to create the Dark Z Riser.『ウルトラマンZ 全バトルクロニクル』ISBN 978-4-06-521873-0 page 20

As revealed in Ja no Michi wa Hebi, electromagnetic-powered weapons are the only ones capable of incapacitating Jashin Blade and its wielder, Juggler, since the blade is incapable of repelling EMP projectiles.

==Trivia==
*Given that Juggler had to wait for Orb to kill Tarude, it's implied that in spite of his attachment to the weapon, Juggler could not reclaim it through his own powers and requires the death of its confiscator to do so.
*In episode 23 of Ultraman Orb, the gigantified Juggler summoned Jashin Blade, appearing as if it was pulled out of a red mini-portal. In behind the scenes footage from Blu-Ray releases, the filming crew members actually put the sheathed Jashin Blade and for Juggler's suit actor to remove it, all while scabbard is edited out in the final product.
*Dynazenon's designer, Tsuyoshi Nonaka, sketched a hypothetical variant of the Beliarok if Juggler were to be the weapon's template instead of Ultraman Belial. The grip was designed after the Jashin Blade's, with Juggler's face acting as the basket hilt.
