=Zankantou=
==Aspect: The Sword That Cleaves Evil==
The name Zankantou literally means "ship-cutting sword", and it derives from the fact that the first Zankantou was used to cleave a cargo ship used by a kaiju as a makeshift weapon, along with the kaiju's hand and the kaiju itself. Every Zankantou since then has been proven by cutting a (mothballed) battleship hull in two. These weapons are extraordinarily heavy and it is a testament to the Nagasumi style that their practitioners are able to wield them at all, let alone with the speed and power needed to dismember skycraper-sized entities in a single blow. 

==Stunt: Wired Harpoons==
Zankantou are also loaded with multiple grappling blades that can pierce through flesh and latch onto almost any solid surface, a property that has many uses in the hands of a trained practitioner. For instance Takeru frequently uses the handguard grapples to grapple onto buildings and kaiju, swinging up into a position where he can deliver a guillotine-like blow with the Zankantou's heavy edge, and he uses the pommel-mounted grapples to extend his reach by about fifty meters; the right length to chain-scythe a kaiju extremity from the ground. The tip mounted grapple is probably the most useful, being able to latch onto kaiju bodies or heavy objects so he can grapple up to them immediately or throw them like a slingshot, as needed.
