Gear

Signature Weapons

• Bo shurkens: Icepick throws many kinds of bo shurkiens. His accuracy and power are incredible.
  • Rei-tetsu: ("Iron Spirit"): 8.5" (21cm) spikes that can penetrate many types meshwork armor.
  • Hi no Hari: ("Needle of fire"):
  • Yumeikazuchi:("Dream Lightning Hammer"): Can go around corners as long as Icepick sees the target before the target is obscured.
  • Kagemusha Rei: ("body double ghost"): When this spike hits an object, it creates a perfect illusion of another Icepick. The illusion pretends to attack the original target. The illusion is autonomous.

• Jōko Sōken ("the Twin Blades of Joko": Forged in the ancient Jokotō period, a time when Japanese swords were evolving and blending influences from mainland Asia with local innovations, this pair of Wakizashis stands as a testament to early Japanese sword-making. While the curved katana would later become the iconic samurai sword, these blades represent an even older tradition, characterized by their straight, formidable blades.
