Kubikiribocho

### ▰▰▰ Kubikiribocho Description:

The Kubikiribōchō; Literally meaning "Decapitating Carving Knife", is a massive broadsword shaped like a giant butcher knife, earning it the title of "seversword". The blade has two cut outs, a circle close to the top and a semi-circular one nearer the handle, that is used for decapitation by placing the victim's head in the hole while stepping on the back and plunging the blade deep into the earth. The latter notch allows a strap to be wrapped around the weapon, making it easier for the user to carry. Its extremely long handle is also detachable to further aid transportation and then reattached when required for combat.

### ▰▰▰ Kubikiribocho Abilities:

• Red Iron | Once the blade draws blood, Kubikiribocho's techniques are considered overwhelming during collisions for the remainder of combat.

• Broad Blade | Blocking with the sword treats the weapon as a large shield.

• Great Sword Expert | Wielders of this sword gain access to both the Great Destructive Blade and Edge Punisher bukijutsu.

• Blood-letting | When Kubikiribocho successfully cuts a target, that target suffers triple the bleeding effect from the trauma status and the length of time it remains active is doubled.

• Cursed Blade | When the warrior becomes the recognized wielder of Kubikiribocho they receive access to a pool of 400 corrupted natural chakra from the blade while it is being wielded. This chakra is blood red in color and makes all spiritual and complex bukijutsu used from Kubikiribocho overwhelming if half the cost of the technique is paid by the corrupted chakra. When the chakra is exhausted it regenerates at a rate of 50 chakra per post out of combat and 25 chakra per post in combat. This corrupted chakra pool cannot be accessed while the wielder is actively using a forbidden seal but this ability permanently raises the corrupted nature chakra reserves of one forbidden seal of the wielder's choice by 100.

### ▰▰▰ Wielder Attributes:

▱▰▱ Berserk Rage | After taking any melee damage from an opponent, the user enters a berserk rage for one post per body rank of the user. During this time, the user does not feel physical pain, preventing any trauma, paralysis caused by physical damage, or technique effects that physically debilitate the user (not genjutsu) from affecting them until the end of this stage. Additionally, the user's techniques used with this sword are reduced by one rank for the duration of the rage. This can only be used once per combat instance.

▱▰▱ Homicidal Healer | Damage caused by Kubikiribocho that draws blood heals the user of damage equivalent of two ranks less than the technique that was used by it's wielder.

▱▰▱ Barely Human | The wielder of Kubikiribocho gains an additional [1] stat point from techniques that give stat boosts. Additionally, transformation techniques such as Sage Mode, Demon Cloak, Forbidden Marks, Gates, Ect, grant an additional [1] point increase in a stat cap that the specified transformation already grants.

### ▰▰▰ Kubikiribocho Style:

#### Stage One

▰ Homicidal Presence [ Satsujin-teki Sonzai ] | Rank X | Spiritual | Supplementary

While wielding the blade, the user is able to exude a ferocious and terrifying presence by expelling a crimson field of chakra around themselves. The dread created by this chakra expands ten feet per body rank of the user and inflicts tiered full body paralysis to all within it's radius. This technique lasts for five posts and when viewed inflicts tiered insanity.

▰ Demon's Maw [ Akuma no Ukibukuro ] | Rank X | Simple

The user brandishes their massive blade in one hand as they rush toward the target, blade poised behind them as they move. Upon reaching striking distance, the user rotates their entire body to bring the blade slashing horizontally, reducing the target's endurance by 1 point when used at C rank and below while B rank and above decreases their stat by 2. Additionally, the user may use any taijutsu or basic combat art strike as a supplementary action following this attack while the opponent's stats are still reduced.

▰ Executioner's Counter [ Shikei Shikkō Hito no Gyakuten ] | Rank X | Simple

The user blocks an incoming physical attack, requiring this technique be paid in equal cost and strength to the technique it is defending against while decreasing the target's strength by 1 point when used at C rank and below while B rank and above decreases strength by 2 points. In defending successfully against a technique they are able to trap the target's limb in either the hole in their blade of the half circle cut into the edge when pinned against a surface. This is treated as a grapple to break. While this is engaged, the user may pull the target around if snared by expending stamina equal to their body rank per action done in that manner.

#### Stage Two

▰ Wrathful Barrage [ Mōretsuna Danmaku ] | Rank C | Simple

The user brandishes their weapon in both hands, performing three vertical slashes straight down on a target at the rank of this technique for a single activation. This requires the user pay the cost of all three strike's stamina cost.

▰ Snare Slam [ Makikomu to Suramu ] | Rank X | Simple

The user swings their blade, artfully catching a target's neck in the open hole of their blade. The user then swings their blade overhead and slams it into the earth, negating armor and treating armor techniques as one rank lower. The target suffers a 1 point decrease in endurance when used at C rank and below while B rank and above suffer a 2 point decrease. Finally, this technique causes two additional tiers of trauma and fractures the spinal column if successful.

▰ Dual Massacre [ Nijū Gyakusatsu ] | Rank X | Simple

The user allows the target's physical attack to land upon them, increasing their endurance by 1 point when used at C Rank and below while B rank and above grants a 2 point increase. When this strike lands, the user entraps their blade or limb, turning any increases they have to agility into a negative modifier, allowing the user to deliver a devastating slash that treats all armor as one tier lower and, spiritual armor techniques as one rank lower.

#### Stage Three

▰ Demon Gale [ Akuma Fū ] | Rank X | Simple

The user hurls their blade from a single hand, sending it flying through the air as it rotates rapidly. This blade pushes air away from it in such a rapid manner that it is able to repel ninjutsu as though it were spiritual. Additionally, this attack gains a 1 point increase to speed when used at C rank and below while B rank and above grants a 2 point increase.

▰ Devil's Flight [ Akuma no Hikō ] | Rank B | Simple

The user swings their blade diagonally in an upward motion. Should this encounter a physical attack, the user may pay the cost required to break through this attack as a supplementary action, allowing this slash to overwhelm it. As the blade moves skyward, cleaving into the target it sends them flying forty feet into the air if evaded. Should this attack be successful, the user vanishes and appears directly above the target at the peak of their flight and is able to use any bukijutsu technique as a supplementary action from this vantage point that strikes without fail.

#### Stage Four

▰ Berserker Fury [ Kyōbōna Ikari ] | Rank B | Training

The user has become attuned to the weight and balance of the master crafted weapon and is now able to utilize a single defensive activation for free at the beginning of their post. This effect has a five post cooldown.

▰ Demon's Grip [ Akuma no Haaku ] | Rank A | Simple

The user performs a slash at the target's lower leg that negates any agility bonuses the target has. If unevaded, the target is thrown to the ground and loses both offensive activations the following post. A bukijutsu technique may be used as a supplementary action to this technique.

#### Stage Five

▰ Demonic Fury [ Jakuma no Ikari ] | Rank A | Simple

The user rushes forward with unmatched rage, gaining a 2 point increase to their speed for the duration of this combination. The user is able to combine three techniques of any bukijutsu technique to be used with this sword by paying only the activation of this technique.

▰ Mountain Cleaver [ Yama no Hōchō ] | Rank S | Simple

The user raises their sword over their head, wielding it in both hands. With a mighty downward slash they plant the giant blade into the earth. The force behind the slash causes a compressed pressure wave to follow the path of the blade that measures fifty feet in height and travels one hundred feet, negating armors, treating spiritual defenses as one rank lower and ignoring endurance modifiers.

#### Stage Six

▰ Evil Cross Wind [ Aku Yokokaze ] | Rank S | Complex

Infusing their blade with chakra, the blade begins to crackle with a blood red energy that exudes malice and inflicts fourth tier mental stress when viewed for three posts. The user swings the flat of their blade in an arcing motion towards an incoming attack. If directly striking a physical attack, the target has all stat increases negated for the interaction. Upon swinging, the user's evil chakra explodes forward and creates a concussive consuming wall of force that causes tier four vertigo, destroying everything within a one hundred foot conical direction from the user's slash. Target's within the affected area suffer a 2 point decrease in agility for the next three posts.

▰ Berserk Twister [ Kyōbōna Tatsumaki ] | Rank S+ | Simple

The user rotates their body rapidly, slinging their blade with them as they gain centrifugal force in mass. The user's attack gains a 2 point increase in speed as they shred everything within striking distance of their blade. This technique, due to it's intensity, the user's mobility and rotating force requires three activations to block against while requiring two to evade.
