Zankaen

Zankaen is Katsuo Myoukouin's primary melee weapon in Hazard ReBurst.

Design
The Rave Edge Type K that Zankaen is built from is, essentially, a high-tech katana. A typical Rave Edge Type K is a katana with an angular hilt, Rave Energy outlining its cutting edge, and a polished silver blade. Zankaen features a significant amount of red in the hilt, a red Rave Energy edge, and a dark silver blade. Its sheath is red, with thin windows running along the length of sheath and ending about 3 inches from the sheath's tip.

Capabilities
Zankaen is wielded in an Iaido fashion, with Rave Energy being used to launch the sword itself out of the sheath for lightning-fast draw times. The energy coating the edge enhances cutting power significantly, allowing it to cut through most armors and solid surfaces with relative ease. Zankaen is dual-wielded with Katsuo's other sword, Radiance. In this style, Katsuo is able to use Radiance's extra weight for stronger attacks while wielding Zankaen in a precise, rapid barrage of slashes.

Trivia
