Soto Muso

Soto Muso is a shirasaya wielded by Kawamatsu.

Appearance
Soto Muso is a large and simple sword consisting of only a blade, scabbard, and hilt. Its hilt is dark with diamond patterns on it.

Techniques

 * Menamugawa (滅南無川): Kawamatsu lunges toward his opponents, holding the blade's tip toward them and overwhelming them. It was first used against several Beasts Pirates guards in the Prisoner Mine. Namu (南無) is a transliteration of Sanskrit नमस् (námas, literally "to bow") and it is used in Buddhist salutations or expressions of faith. In the VIZ manga, this is called River of Retribution.

Trivia

 * Soto muso is a sumo wrestling move where the wrestler takes out an opponent's leg with their arm, fitting with Kawamatsu's background as a sumo wrestler.
