Tasouken

"Show your power..."

- Tasouken in Earthen Miraculous Sword

The Tasouken (蛇叢剣, lit. "snake cluster sword") is a sacred sword used by Adagumo no Yaorochi. It is frequently used in her spell cards and attacks. It's true identity is the legendary Sword of Kusanagi.

General Information
Tasouken is a long-bladed sword said to be a divine treasure, too powerful to be wielded by normal humans. It's form is very difficult for humans to hold. Even if someone uses tools and forcibly try to hold it, it won't exhibit it's power, and in addition it may take off years of the user's life span.

It's said that if there was someone who could know how to use it, that person would become strong enough to rule the world forever. It has the power to sever bonds and relationships. Unfortunately, by now it's all rusted, so Yaorochi planned to restore it by transferring its essence to a clay model. Because of poor communication with the creator of the clay sword, Yaorochi found out at the last minute that the clay model was actually a sword-shaped bottle opener. Yaorochi's sister, Adagumo no Saragimaru knows how to use it, but because she is distanced from Yaorochi, the details are not revealed.
