Sword Of Justice: Sakurai's Blade - Cirno's Divine Gemblade!

Custom Iramasha Gem

Name: Sword Of Justice: Sakurai's Blade
Type: Weaponry
User Type: Angel

Sakura's Blade Appearance: The blade itself is rather slim and thin. This is so that the weapon is rather easy to use and swift in its strikes. The Sakurai Blade is no longer than twenty fives and resembles a wakizashi in terms of it's length. While, on it's handle, there is nothing but pure gold glistening with the greatest shine possible. And along it's blade, there is an icy, glittery glow which exudes from the sword and gives off a wicked chill colder than that of the frigidness of space itself. Indeed, The Sakurai Blade is one piece of work that Cirno developed.

Background Information: This sword was forged shortly after the events of The Platinum Heart Tournament. It took roughly one month to perfect after Cirno instilled all the values she desired into the gemblade. Primarily, Cirno needed to ensure all of the energies which comprised the effects of Sakurai's Blade were in harmony and stable. Additional testing was then needed to test them out in practical combat and even out the edges. And her capacity to manipulate the forces of Chaos Magic were further tampered with to a bridge connection to her heart's innermost desire and enforce the blade's abilities.

As for it's name? Well, this sword's title was taken from a few key elements that have influenced Cirno's life. The first of which is being her desire to be a true champion and heroine of justice. So, it was only natural to her to call the first bit "Sword of Justice". While, the latter half was meant to take into account her partner's last name: "Kazumi Sakurai". Hence, Sakurai's Blade.

Now, having said that, this weapon was meant to otherwise enforce Cirno's own sense of justice. Her perception of it can be as followed:

1. Ensure that those who cannot defend themselves are defended.

2. Do what you can to make the world a bit of a better place with whatever power you have.

3. Do not kill unless it cannot be avoided or is being committed for a truly just cause.

4. If a soul is lost, guide them to the light and utilize your power as an angel with care.

5. Do not tolerate forces which damage or destroy innocents property or well being if they lack proper reason or justification.

6. Become charitable and kind to help your fellow man.

7. Stand up for what is right even if you are alone in the matter.

8. Allow common sense to prevail over iron fist law.

These principles are what were forged into her sword. If any of them are endangered or need to be enforced, she will call upon this blade when needed and seek to help influence the world for the better through her morality. And, while it is true Cirno understands she cannot force her way upon others, this does not stop that desire to want to do good and act accordingly to the impulse. For what is more important is intent and the willingness to stand up for your own values; so long as they do not harm the greater good.

Hence, we can then begin to understand the abilities of Sakurai's Blade.



Judgement Oversight: Judgement Oversight is the unique ability that Sakurai's Blade possesses. Essentially, it applies the values of Cirno's justice into an a materialized form of attack. Therefore, once one of her values are marked, the blade goes on and carries out Cirno's judgement. These can result in Cirno altering the world around her based upon the verdicts deemed appropriate by her own code of justice. Ergo, it can range from a variety of sword slashes which can seal, banish, erase, augment or otherwise enforce Cirno's authority as an angel of justice.

These abilities can be energy drainers at time for the blade, but they are quite the game changers in the way that it is used. However, to keep things balanced, only way special move may be used in a given post. Although, she isn't limited to these techniques, she primarily uses them because they are fleshed our concepts clearly defined. To create a new abilities would drain her in combat and she would need to put the utmost of effort into making new Judgement Rulings.

It should also be known that while only one ability at a time should be used, that doesn't restrict her from making multiple applications of it. For example, it is possible for Cirno to activate one Judgement Ruling and utilize it in numerous sword slashes until the ability defuses and deactivates from extensive usage. It will just require focus and the utmost of care to wield in those moments.

Now, below are the applied abilities of Judgement Oversight:

Judgement Ruling - Erasure Strike: This mode is devised purely for combat; as opposed to living beings. Whenever something is deemed an obstruction of Cirno's judgement, she is given permission to utilize Erasure Strike in order to vaporize the target. So, one can think of this as an expunging type of ability that is fueled by her natural angelic inclination to purify and eradicate unjust phenomenon in the world. Once this mode of Sakurai's Blade is active, Cirno could, for example, attempt to abolish all of a major portion of something akin to an energy attack. In this way, she would be nulling the wrongful assault and attempting to enforce her justice by stopping the obstruction in question.

Of course, it isn't just limited to that. It could be used on a whole variety of barriers, seals, objects and so on. However, the potency will vary depending on whatever she is up against as nothing is absolute and set in stone. For example, she could attempt to use it to break through a mystic barrier, but perhaps she would only destroy one layer of it and would have to apply more power in order to try and break through the other sheets of protection. Or, a foe could attempt to pull back an attack, face partial damage and then finish her with the fractured attack.

Although, it is also worth mentioning that she could apply this effect to physical attacks as well. An illustration of this would be if a foe attempted to deliver a punch that could flatten numerous city blocks against Cirno. She would rise the blade, attempt to align it with their strike and have the sword null the blow by absorbing it and disbursing of its destructive power.

Now, with all of this said, it does come with the most obvious drawback: it takes up power to activate and use this ability. SO each time an application of Erasure Strike is put into effect, it is steadily drawing at the resources of Cirno's Purification Core; which is a cluster of internal energy the sword uses to generate its effects. Once that core is out of energy, then the effects no longer are usable and this ability becomes moot. Therefore, each slash needs to be on point and accurate in order for this not to be wasted energy and effort.

Judgement Ruling - Impaling Punishment: This is meant to be one of the final punishments that Cirno dishes out. Essentially, Impaling Punishment is an ability that allows her to seal that which is injustice according to her sense of mortality. So, for example, there be a serial killer on the loose whom is attempting to slaughter any and everyone he sees. Having observed this, Cirno would activate Impaling Punishment, impale him in the stomach and attempt to seal off all or a majority of his powers. The effectiveness depends on how deep her strike is able to penetrate their spiritual or physical being; as it will attune itself to whatever energy the opponent operates on. And due to the wide variety of opponents Cirno has encountered, it is ready for most unorthodox energies that exist within the PH Verse.

Having said that, we'll go back to the potency of the attack and how efficient it can be. In some cases, she can end up severing half of a persons power; in other case she can do as much as one hundred percent if the conditions are right or their durability is down. It is also able top be applied to attacks as well in order to sever and seal off its attack power. Such as if a foe attempted to later the reality around Cirno, she could pierce the range of effect and attempt to shatter and banish the opposing force with Impaling Punishment. So, it can stand to reason that this ability is quite adjustable and dangerous.

Therefore, Cirno must use it with care and be careful with it because it is quite the energy drainer given it's effects. It can quickly leave the sword drained if misused or abused. Henceforth, she needs to be totally assured that this strike is going to make it in order for her attempts not to be wasted. Additionally, none of the effects of Impaling Punishment are absolute and are able to be countered if a foe has something to fight back against it with. They can move out of the way, attempt to shield themselves with a barrier or imagine some other means of defense since this is still a sword strike; after all.

Note: This just severs the power for the thread. After they start their next thread, it'll come back.

Judgement Ruling - Charitable Tap [Plot Based Ability]: Charitable Tap stems from the principle that one should be hospitable to their fellow man. Thus, This function of Judgement Oversight is one that allows for Cirno to share the wealth and attempt to augment her allies and unlock the potential of those who desire it. This works through a will based system where Cirno is able to utilize her willpower as a medium to otherwise connect with an opponent and attempt to release their hidden power. If they should accept, then they may find themselves receptive to undergoing massive changes.

For instance, if this was utilized during a training session with one of her pupils, Cirno could attempt to help them reach the next level through Charitable Tap altering their body and inducing accelerated growth in order to assist in unleashing a new form akin to shikai or bankai. Or, if someone was having difficulty attempting to reach the next tier level, Cirno could utilize Charitable Tap in order to pierce them in the chest and transfer her power into them in order to assist with that means.

Now, while this sounds simple enough, they must then undergo some act to prove they are worthy of retaining this power. This can be done either by sparring with Cirno herself, committing a heroic act or otherwise doing something that requires great willpower. But, no matter what the user does, they must make that first step towards this blessing they were given. And, if they do not pass the buck, or use it for good, then there is a fair chance the grace will dissipate after one usage.

• Waning Generosity: It is also possible to use Charitable Tap to a lesser extent by temporarily augmenting someone's power for a period of three to six post. This can lead to her allies becoming empowered anywhere from having one tier level boosted (from 1-1 to 0-5), augmentation boost that help enhance skills (up to master) and enhance abilities to become more potent. However, it often has a cool down period of three post before it can be used again. Additionally, excessive usage of it can lead to the user feeling somewhat drained from having pushed their body to a high level of skill in such a short amount of time. So it is advised to be used once for good measure.
  
  Additionally, it's worth noting that Cirno can apply this to allies attacks as well or objects. For instance, if someone was firing off a cero at an advanced level, it would be possible for her to use Sakurai's Blade in order to take it up to master and increase it's potency. Of course, each action takes away energy from the blade, so it must be used with caution and guidance. Otherwise, sh'ell just be wasting energy.

Purified Core: In order to tax Cirno less, the blade has infused within it a secondary gem that generates a high sum of power. In fact, it is comparable to roughly the same amount of energy that Cirno's own body produces. This core was created due to the fact that some of its abilities are quite taxing and drain through energy. Therefore, it was devised that this cluster of energy would be used to otherwise support the blade's effects. If it is damaged, then the blade will either need a secondary power source or Cirno herself will have to power it with her energy.

Wicked Effectiveness: Arrancar, Hollow, Demon's and other creatures that exude negative energy are more prone to being effected by the attacks of the Sakurai Blade. It extends upwards into the range of being 1.5 to two times more effective than usual. This is in part because her purification core reaches into Cirno's angelic blood and seeks to purify these tainted spirits. So it stands to reason that one should be highly cautious against this blade if you are under that wicked alignment.

Tainting Resistance: Additionally, due to the dense amount of angelic energy placed within the blade, it is heavily resistant against corroding, corrupting or tainting effects. So most will find it difficult to blemish this weapon; lest they possess an equal strength comparable to Cirno's own. And, even then, she will be able to strongly hold up against such vile energies until the last dying breathe thanks in part to its unearthly durability. So those who wish to defile this blade will have quite the hard time enacting such a thing.

An Angel's Blessing: The material of Sakurai's Blade was made through the power of Cirno's energy. This energy derives from her soul and willpower; so one can assume that her will's blessing is cast upon the blade. Therefore, the durability of the blade itself is comparable to a grand master's hierro due to the fact that this otherworldly matter is immensely resistant against supernatural and physical assaults thrown against it. It can be damaged, sure, but most foes are going to have to hard work for it. For reference, it's about as durable as a Shinigami's own Zanpukto to further clarify how resilient this blade is.

Extension Of The Soul: Cirno's abilities are able to be extended from this blade. Since it is one in the same with her spirit, it would only make sense that it yielded this ability. So most powers that Cirno wields can channel themselves through the blade. However, it will cost Cirno her own energy in order to augment and combine them. That is, if she attempted to channel one of her frozen attacks through the blade, the initial command will drain her of energy; although the sword may try and share it's energy. So the potential for combined moves, techniques and abilities are possible.

A Heavenly Edge: With it's mystic material also comes an otherworldly cutting power. Powered by the divine blessings of Cirno's angelic blood, this sword is capable of cutting or piercing through even the most rigorous of materials known to both natural and supernatural limits. For example, it yields the potential to slash through grand master hierro with enough power behind the strike. Or, it could endure the harsh power of an grand ray cero and attempt to split it off. In these two illustrations, one can begin to get a sense of how strong the cutting power is when it comes to Sakurai's Blade.

A Frigid Blade: Due to the fact that the material of the Sakurai Blade is an extension of Cirno's own soul, it makes no surprise that the blade is immensely cold. A single touch would be enough to freeze a persons hand if The Angel of The Ice did not tame the sword properly. So it goes without saying that many sorts of opponents and attacks could stand to be frozen by this blade. For instance, if a cero was heading towards Cirno, she could unleash the blade, cut it and attempt to freeze the energy blast in place since the Sakurai Blade can effect both the physical and metaphysical aspects of combat.

And, unlike the other functions of the blade, this comes naturally and is less taxing on the Purification Core's energy reserves. Since, after all, ice is Cirno's most natural element. Therefore, one should watch themselves when engaging in combat with the Sakurai Blade because of this. Even getting so much as grazed can turn into a lethal affair quite quickly if one is not careful fighting Cirno.
