Chapter 14

## Father's Secret

**Chapter 14** is titled "Father's Secret".

## Short Summary

In the aftermath of the battle with Ata's duplicate, the Kongo-Yasha group is rewarded for their victory with the truth of Hachimaru's origin and the Ususama School's end goal. Also, Furuta faces the consequences of his stand against Ata, and encourages Hachimaru to go and save the galaxy.

## Long Summary

Hachimaru is introduced to his seven identical siblings, and the first one - Ikkaku - reveals that Furuta is not their biological father: he is merely the scientist who created them. He explains that the seven of them were created to serve as Samurai Keys who could open a certain box. However, Hachimaru's accidental creation disrupted the balance of power between the brothers, making them unable to be proper keys. To become true keys, they must reclaim Hachimaru's power by killing him. Daruma fears that they have accessed Pandora's Box, but Ata clarifies: their plan is to open both Pandora's Box and its counterpart, Mandala's Box, in order to attain godhood. Daruma scolds his former student, who vows to take everything from his master when they next meet. As he cuts his feed, he mentions a "present" left behind for him.

While Daruma ponders Ata's words, Furuta regains consciousness. Hachimaru asks Hagamichi to fly his dad back to his house, hoping to use his old life support device to save him. He then asks Ann to endure her fear of high-speed flight for the journey, and she agrees. Before they can move, it begins to rain, making conditions too bad to move Furuta. Hachimaru suggests finding a medical facility nearby, but Furuta reveals the one flaw in the device he used against Ata: he cannot live after its activation. He goes on to confirm everything the Ucchusma group said. He also mentions that he tried to kill Hachimaru as a baby. He wanted to keep the siblings from having the power to open the boxes, but when he tried, he was moved by that baby's will to live, and instead fled his masters along with him.

Furuta laments his efforts to raise and protect his son failing, but Hachimaru tries to correct him. He then apologizes for lying, and says that he now understands that Hachimaru is strong. Instead of needing protecting as he believed, he now understands that he was always strong, and has what it takes to be samurai that can protect others. Hachimaru apologizes for all the grief he gave him, but Furuta tells him that those very qualities allowed him to enjoy his life, and the he was happy to have him as a son. With his last moments, he challenges Hachimaru to look out for Ann and protect the galaxy from Ata. Hachimaru agrees to try, and Furuta says that it is time for him to go, passing away as Hachimaru and company mourn.

Handle Bone

**Handle Bone** (柄 (つか) 骨 (ほね) , *Tsuka Hone*?, lit." Bone Hilt") is a bone-shaped hilt given to a Samurai by a Holder as a symbol of their bond. When a Samurai claims a Handle Bone, the Holder becomes known as a **Key Holder**. The Handle Bone is usually stored in a compartment in a Samurai's forearm. It's also possible for a Samurai to have more than one Handle Bone.

## Abilities

With the Handle Bone a Samurai can access two abilities.

* **Holder Control** - A Key Holder typically recognizes the wielder of their Handle Bone as their master, so they respond exclusively to their commands. They can also create Samurai Armor from the Key Holder's outer layer of flesh.
* **Samurai Soul Blade** - A Handle Bone serves as a control device that changes the form of a Samurai Soul. By putting the two together, a Samurai can transform the Soul into a **Samurai Soul Blade**.

## Trivia

* The inspiration of Takatsuna is a mix of some Japanese lore. His name comes from Sasaki Takatsuna (佐 (さ) 々 (さ) 木 (き) 高 (たか)  綱 (つな) }} (1160 – December 8, 1214), a Japanese samurai commander in the Genpei War, the great conflict between the Minamoto and Taira clans and from **Watanabe no Tsuna** (渡 (わた) 邊 (なべ)  綱 (つな) , ***Watanabe no Tsuna***?) (953–1025), a Japanese samurai, a retainer of Minamoto no Yorimitsu (also known as Raikō), one of the earliest samurai to be famed for his military exploits. The name of the Samurai Soul Blade comes from **Dōjigiri Yasutsuna** (童 (どう) 子 (じ) 切 (きり) 安 (たか) 綱 (つな) , ***Dōjigiri Yasutsuna***?) that legends say Minamoto no Yorimitsu(Watanabe no Tsuna's leader) knows as Raikō too, killed the monster **Shuten-dōji** with this sword, as Yasatsuna being the bladesmith that forged it. Shuten-dõji is an Oni like the Benkei race.

* The warriors in their oi (portable chests; "pannier" according to Noriko T. Reider) conceal their armours and swords, many of which have proper names. Raikō's chest contained the sword **Chisui** (ちすゐ, assumed to be "血吸", thus "Bloodsucker"), vermilion armor (hiodoshi) called randen gusari (らんでん鎖, Randen Chain), and a vermilion helmet called Shishiō ("Lion King" or "Lion Lord".) Hōshō's contained a two-foot halberd (ko-naginata) called Iwakiri (Cutting Rock or Stonecutter). Tsuna had a sword named Onikiri (Cutting Demon or Demon Slasher) and yellow-green set of armor and helmet. A real existing sword named **Dōjigiri**, which is one of the Five Best Swords under Heaven and designated national treasure of Japan, is associated with the tradition of being the sword that killed Shuten-dōji.

## History

Ichigo is a little girl who lived alone on her world with her mother. Despite her youth, Ichigo developed an insanely powerful Mind's Eye, granting her perception of the universe in a way no one around her could understand.

While her mother spoke with the principal, Ichigo was sent outside to play. There, she was approached by a hooded stranger who grabs her and takes her to a Holder that speeds offworld once she is aboard. Unfortunately, Ichigo's apocalypse speech was actually a vision of her planet being destroyed, which comes true when an Angular Warhead blows the planet up as she is being flown to safety. Tragically, the ship was close enough for her to see her world exploding, so its owner - Hanaichi - has to explain what she is witnessing. Ichigo is moved to tears as she realizes that her mother has just died.
