Soto Muso is a large and simple sword consisting of only a blade, scabbard, and hilt with no handguard. Its hilt is dark with diamond patterns on it.[1]
Abilities[]
Being a product of Wano Country's superior craftsmanship, Soto Muso is a high quality sword. Combined with Kawamatsu's strength and skills, Soto Muso is powerful enough to defeat large numbers of Beast Pirates in a single strike.[1]
Kawamatsu first bought Soto Muso during his youth when Shimotsuki Yasuie gave him and his fellow retainers money to groom themselves.[2] The sword then became his weapon as a samurai and the basis of his Kappa Style swordsmanship.
Soto Muso was later confiscated when Kouzuki Oden and the Nine Red Scabbards were captured and imprisoned after they were defeated by the Beasts Pirates.[3] After they escaped with Oden's self sacrifice, Shinobu managed to retrieve their weapons including Soto Muso, which was given back to Kawamatsu.[4] When Kawamatsu was caught stealing and imprisoned in Udon thirteen years ago, Soto Muso was again confiscated and separated from its master until Raizo freed Kawamatsu, returning the sword.[1]
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.
