Kanji: Unnamed Romaji: Literal english: English tv: Viz manga: Game names (,): Other names (,): Related Tools: Users: Debut (manga; chapter #): Debut (anime; episode #): Shippuden Debut Game: Debut Movie: Anime OVA In Media: Anime Manga Game Movie Sword of Totsuka: Article Text The '''Sword of Totsuka''', also known as the {{translation|'''Sakegari Longsword'''|酒刈太刀|Sakegari no Tachi|lit meaning=Sake Cutter Longsword}}, is a variant of the [[Sword of Kusanagi (Orochimaru)|Sword of Kusanagi]]. It is sheathed in a sake jar; the blade is actually the liquid inside the gourd that is released and shaped, rather than a conventional sword. It is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade capable of [[Fūinjutsu|sealing]] anything it pierces. Those who are stabbed by the sword are drawn into the jar and trapped in a [[genjutsu]]-like "world of drunken dreams" for all eternity; by extension, Itachi also managed to remove the [[Cursed Seal of Heaven]] from Sasuke by stabbing and removing [[Orochimaru]] from Sasuke's body. It can also cut through objects like a normal blade, thereby giving the wielder great versatility in his attacks. Orochimaru sought the sword for all his life and [[Zetsu]] commented that he could never find it.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 392, page 17</ref> Along with the [[Yata Mirror]], the Sword of Totsuka is a weapon [[Itachi]] equipped to his [[Susanoo]] with the gourd being held by a third hand growing from its right forearm, while the actual blade is wielded by its right hand. Together, they were said to have made Itachi essentially invincible.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 393, page 9</ref> == Influence == * The {{translation|[[Wikipedia:Totsuka-no-Tsurugi|Totsuka no Tsurugi]]|十拳剣|lit meaning=Ten Hands Long Sword}} is the sword used by [[Wikipedia:Izanagi|Izanagi]] to kill his newborn son, [[Wikipedia:Kagu-Tsuchi|Kagu-Tsuchi]], after his birth burned his mother, [[Wikipedia:Izanami|Izanami]], to death. From the blood of Kagu-Tsuchi, eight new [[Wikipedia:Shinto|Shinto]] [[Wikipedia:Kami|gods]] were born. * The Totsuka Sword is the sword used by the god Susanoo to slay the eight-headed and eight-tailed snake, [[Wikipedia:Yamata no Orochi|Yamata no Orochi]], just like it was used by Itachi's Susanoo to defeat Orochimaru's {{translation|[[Eight Branches Technique]]|八岐の術|Yamata no Jutsu}}. == Trivia == * The sword has been popularly mistranslated as a "perfect counter to the Kusanagi". * In the manga, the sword appears as an ethereal blade composed of liquid, but in the anime, it has a fiery appearance.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 138</ref> * Itachi's Susanoo carries the Sword of Totsuka in a gourd. An ethereal weapon inside a gourd could be a reference to the hyōtan-kozō, a gourd spirit from Japanese folklore. * In the anime, the final form of Sasuke's Susanoo was erroneously depicted with a gourd in its secondary right hand.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 214</ref> == References == <references/> [[de:Totsuka no Tsurugi]] [[es:Espada de Totsuka]] Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
