Brunestud of the Crimson Moon (朱い月のブリュンスタッド, Akai Tsuki no Buryunsutaddo?), also called Crimson Moon (朱い月, Akai Tsuki?), is the Ultimate One of the Moon (月のアルテミット・ワン, Tsuki no Arutemitto Wan?), otherwise known as Type-Moon (タイプ・ムーン, Taipu Mūn?).[1]

Profile[]

Background[]

He responded to a call from the collective will of the Earth, Gaia, over four thousand years ago, and made a deal to allow for him to live on the Earth in exchange for protection against human corruption. The planet, unable to use a mirror to reflect itself, is unable to set its own standards, so only another celestial body is able to understand the death of a celestial body.[2][3] True Ancestors based in his image were created as a natural protective system for the Earth, and were set to return it to its natural state.[3] Brunestud traveled the planet, challenged random beings to defeat him, such as Gransurg Blackmore, who was nothing but an average magus, and the villagers holding Merem Solomon. He also gathered a number of followers, such as Blackmore and Trhvmn Ortenrosse, in an attempt to eventually take the Earth as his own kingdom.

In 300 AD,[4] he was defeated by Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg wielding the Second Magic. He tried to pull the moon to collide with Earth but it was pushed back by Zelretch's magic, so it was unable to affect the planet. With all of his power, Brunestud did not foresee being defeated by a human, but lost to Zelretch due to being too late in understanding the power of Magic, "a rule outside of the rules."[5]

Tsukihime worlds[]

Brunestud foresaw that his own life was reaching its end due to having too many enemies, as he has a "world corrosive will" that does not abide by either Gaia or Alaya. He desperately wished to have a vessel that abides by the standards of the world, and planned to use the True Ancestors in preparation for his extermination. They are considered to be spirits of nature accepted by Gaia, and even though they are considered the enemies of humanity, the subconsciousness of humans both accepts and denies them as keepers of nature, causing them not to be marked as targets of elimination for the Monsters of Alaya. Normally they were only created by the planet out of necessity, but Brunestud decided to teach them how to make their own kind themselves in order to speed up the creation of a proper vessel. He sought various other possibilities when an heir in the form a True Ancestor could not be born, such as the creation of Altrouge Brunestud, a being born between a Dead Apostle and a True Ancestor. While he was destroyed by Zelretch before the creation of a perfect vessel could be realized, he still has a method for revival. His Reality Marble has been left behind to spawn the True Ancestors, allowing them to inherit a "seed" on which he can imbed himself. Its purpose is so that when a True Ancestor reaches the same purity as him and body of his scale, the Reality Marble allow him to take over their bodies through spiritual possession. Michael Roa Valdamjong considers this to be an inefficient method compared to his own means of resurrection, as it is hard for a being on such a scale to be brought into existence.[5]

Altrouge and Arcueid Brunestud (Remake), who have both inherited the Brunestud name, are considered to be those closest to reaching the point of being suitable vessels.[6] Arcueid, created naturally by the True Ancestors, a method which Brunestud had given up on at the time, is considered a perfect body especially close in purity as she can summon the Millennium Castle through her Marble Phantasm ability. Altrouge still lacks the right amount of power and she is considered too unstable, though her control over Primate Murder can give her the right to be called a greater monster more powerful than Brunestud himself in a way. While the True Ancestors were his "children" based on him, only he can be considered perfect, while all of them are considered failures. This is the cause of their blood-lust, their corruption upon feasting on humans, and their connection to the moon. Each has a piece of Crimson Moon inside them and a place to accept him, which manifests in Arcueid as a type of alternate personality hiding inside of her consciousness waiting to fuse with its host. It takes the form of Arcueid's initial state before having her hair removed, and it is able to move around the Millennium Castle while she sleeps.[5] It also stays active in her unconsciousness, such as when Shiki Tohno connects to her dreams in Kagetsu Tohya.[7]

It is unable to fuse with her while she sleeps in the castle, as she is not currently in a state to accept him, and admits to Roa that, while identifying itself as Crimson Moon, it is still nothing more than an aspect of it. Every True Ancestor is an incarnation of Crimson Moon, but at the same time, they are totally different beings. The part inside Arcueid is nothing more than a shadow of her that only exists as a hologram that has possibility. It is not yet confirmed as "Crimson Moon", as it cannot become "Crimson Moon" while "Arcueid Brunestud" is still identified as "Arcueid Brunestud." It realizes it itself didn't know exactly where it stood, and states "And to think I was planning to take over." While it wishes for Roa to unbind Arcueid's chains, he speculates that as long as Arcueid is bound in her own chains, that she will eventually give up her name.[5] This personality speaks to Shiki briefly, amazed that humans are such noisy creatures, and that Arcueid can get along with such an "impolite person." It tries to insist that it is separate from Arcueid, that it is only an aspect of her that is separate from her at the same time. Shiki identifies that while it has long hair and speaks with an accent, and even as just an aspect of her, that it still is Arcueid. It is amazed by those words, as someone who would see Crimson Moon as an enemy who will take Arcueid's body is still using words that affirm its existence. Accepting the enemy means that Crimson Moon is near, to which Shiki replies that he will simply take her back by force. While "fighting with Arcueid to save Arcueid" can be considered a contradiction, he states that he will fight it, and save the Arcueid who has been bound by her own chains. It responds to him with "I hope your words will come to be more than just a simple joke" in a tone that seems like an awkward request betraying her noble self.[7]

Fate worlds[]

In Fate worlds Zelretch was not bitten by one of the Dead Apostle Ancestors and remained a human. Crimson Moon's loyal follower Gransurg Blackmore despaired at his death and allowed himself to be killed by the Holy Church.

Personality[]

Appearance[]

His eyes are red, and are described as both "kind" and "scary."

Role[]

Notes[]

He is the one who would appear before the last part.[8]

Tsukihime series[]

In the setting of the original Tsukihime series, Brunestud bit Zeltretch during their fight, transforming him into a Dead Apostle.

Fate/stay night[]

His battle with Kishua Zelretch Schweinorg is mentioned by Rin Tohsaka in the Heaven's Feel route.[9]

Melty Blood[]

The equivalent of the Crimson Moon appears in Melty Blood Actress Again as Archetype: Earth, the alternate action ideology hiding inside of Arcueid's consciousness, who takes the appearance of Arcueid's initial state before having her hair removed. She declares that she came to experience the human world for the first time. She shows a great level of power to the point that Riesbyfe Stridberg calls her "the Ultimate One" and Shiki Ryougi recognizes an overwhelming aura flowing from her and can't see her death. Ciel believes that Arcueid managed to awaken her Origin, but Archetype: Earth denies this declaring that they are intrinsically a single being, and that she simply has a very long waking period, as the basis of life for her is far too vast compared to the living organisms that live on the surface.

Abilities[]

Brunestud is the Ultimate One of the Moon, and is thus the strongest life-form on the Moon, capable of singlehandedly wiping out all living beings on Earth.[10] The appearance, abilities and very thoughts of Archetype: Earth could be called the Crimson Moon.[11] After he vanished, individuals close to him in power and purity started being honored with the title of Brunestud.[12] But in the long history of the True Ancestors, only Arcueid (Remake) and Altrouge have ever received the name Brunestud.[6] Arcueid in particular is beyond all other True Ancestors, as she can stand her ground with the first True Ancestor, Crimson Moon.[13]

All creatures known as Dead Apostles are descended from him in some way, and as with True Ancestors, he can create strong Dead Apostles by drinking the blood of a human, having created at least two members of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, Merem and Zelretch, and having had both Blackmore and Ortenrosse become vampires through magical research in order to follow him. Despite the impact the Twenty-seven Ancestors have on the planet, they can be considered nothing more than a footprint that he made on the world.[5] In the Remake, Crimson Moon was noted to have also been responsible for transforming Caubac Alcatraz into a Vampire due to sensing his potential.[14]

Crimson Moon possesses Mystic Eyes that fall under the Noble Color "Rainbow" which even exceeds the "Jewel" ranked Mystic Eyes of petrification. His ultimate Mystic Eyes, which blend and mix all seven colors of the rainbow like a kaleidoscope, are considered to be the mark of the King of the Moon.[15] He also holds a Reality Marble, which contains the Millennium Castle Brunestud.[6] Its purpose is to give him a new body: when a True Ancestor reaches the same purity as him and body of his scale, the Reality Marble allows him to take over their bodies through spiritual possession.[3] During his battle with Zelretch, he was able to create a mirror image of the moon and drop it towards the planet in an event known as the Moon Fall (月落とし, Tsuki Otoshi?), which forced Zelretch to use a virtually limitless Ether Cannon to push back.[16]

He can also use an ability called Alt Nagel (アルトネーゲル, Arutonēgeru?, German: "Ancient Nail"), which is described as an immensely destructive pillar of wind which stretches as far as the heavens. In the world of Notes, Crimson Moon wields a Knight Arm[17] called Real of the World (リアル・オブ・ザ・ワールド(真世界), Riaru obu za Wārudo(Ma Sekai)?),[8] which is also the title of the True Ancestors' purpose of restoring the world to its natural state.[18]

    Brunestud [Term]
    Despite being Arcueid's last name, strictly speaking it is actually more like a title. It is possessed by all of the members of True Ancestor royalty.
    The Millennium Castle Brunestud where Arcueid had sealed herself away is not her original creation, but was actually created in the past by the most powerful True Ancestor, using marble phantasm. That original lord of Castle Brunestud died long ago, but ever since those True Ancestors capable of forming the castle have been uplifted as royalty. This is why the True Ancestors, who have no concept of hierarchy, nevertheless call Arcueid their princess.
    After being tricked by Roa and killing most of the True Ancestors, Arcueid crucified herself on the throne of the castle she materialized herself. A thousand chains stretched from the castle's outer walls to the throne, so that she may seal herself away forever.
    In Melty Blood, the Tatari Arcueid materialized the Millennium Castle. Later, in Re-act, it also appeared in her Arc Drive.
    Currently, there are only two bloodsuckers with the name of Brunestud: Arcueid and Altrouge.

    Nasu: It was quite difficult to decide. Someone had said "Isn't Aristoteles good enough?" but I didn't like that personally. This is about the Aristoteles from Note. but that naming for me was a case of youthful indiscretion. Then, since we were going for something related to Note. anyway: "...Actually, about that story, just before the last part Type-Moon's identity will be revealed. Also, the Knight Arm it has is called Real of the World(True World)."

    I revealed this material I had been keeping secret, then we decided that in this case Type-Moon would be good.

    For just a second, it is possible to catch a glimpse of the vampire princess Arcueid's true power. The phantom that appears behind her back is her original form. Its appearance, abilities, and very thoughts could be called the Crimson Moon.
    The inspiration for this technique comes from Kagetsu Tohya. Specifically, the episode where Shiki strayed off into Arcueid's dream and received proper retribution for killing her. Because of that, when this technique is used on Shiki it hits eighteen times.

  14. [v] TYPE-MOON Manuscript - Caubac Alcatraz, p.040-041

    Caubac Alcatraz

    Overview
    Ranked 27 among the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors.
    His Idea Blood is a "failed product" or perhaps simply "unneeded".
    A vampire who was a believer to the church before turning Dead Apostle.
    The Crimson Moon made him lose heart shortly before the transition to AD, but the Crimson Moon also saw potential in him and gave him his pure blood, turning him into an Ancestor.
    Since then, he has been holed up in an underground cavern lamenting his vampiric transformation, since he was too ashamed to go see his pious companions, not to mention they would kill him on the spot if they saw what he turned into.
    Later a lot happened, leading him to build the great labyrinth of Alcatraz.
     
    Somewhen around the year 1000AD, he completed the Triten scripture.
    No one saw him ever since.
    The Holy Church and the vampire society believe that he built his castle to protect his written truth, the Triten scripture, and when he got that done, a random dimensional distortion turned the castle into some amazing labyrinth not even he can escape.
     
    He turned himself into an inorganic object out of hatred for his body's need to suck blood to extend his life.
    He takes the appearance of an ordinary padlock.
     
    In Mahou Tsukai no Hako, it was established that Hibiki is an artificial lifeform (the Triten) who turned human and got lost among the people there.

    « Our world was created by the Lord, and its surface is covered in His love. The way humans go hog wild over food and whatnot is also because of Lord's love. The Lord's love is like, super immeasurable to human beings. »



    Under the thoughts quoted above, he comprehended the Lord's love and wrote it down. That's what the Triten scripture is.
     
    The punchline here is there on proofread, he realized that he made a model of the universe.
    He obviously wasn't trying to create a model of the universe, but that was the final result of what he tried to make.
    By reaching the conclusion that the universe is direct proof of the Lord's love, Caubac established he was right and built his labyrinth in order to hide his super ultra awesome treasure literally anyone would desire.
    By the way, the labyrinth was made using the same techniques used to make Triten. For that reason, it's constantly expanding at the same speed that the universe expands. Super inescapable.
     
    Now, the following section is about progress caused by the events of Mahou Tsukai no Hako:
    Caubac had complete faith in Triten, but he took his eyes away for one moment and Triten disappeared from its storage and went to be human in some Japanese café.
    Triten was supposed to be his proof, Triten = the Lord's love, and yet the result of its evolution was a human being!
    No true Catholics would see God inside themselves.
    Caubac shat himself from shock when he learned about Hibiki.
    "In my attempts to prove God is real, I proved that He isn't."
     
    ※Addendum:
    The following thoughts are the reasons why he considers Triten a mistake:
    - We must not see God in ourselves.
    - We must not pray for our own benefit. (Prayers are for the Lord's benefit. It's wrong to pray out of desire for salvation. You pray only for the Lord. Caubac's mindset is the same as Caren's.)
    - The Lord's love is absolute and must never be questioned. Therefore we must not wish for the Lord to exist in any form different from the forms described in the scriptures.
    God's Love = the world.
    The fact that we're alive is a manifestation of His love and no matter how much suffering there is in the world, it's all part of grand system of God's deeds (love).

    The world is a product of the Lord's thoughts.
    Upon closer inspection of the components of the human being (body, mind, and soul), Caubac had the idea that he could prove the Lord's love by replicating all these components in text form.
    He then started building his model from all possible accounts, probed into His whole Creation, gave it shape, and ended up with a model of the universe. (He didn't notice it was a model of the universe until it was complete)
    And the fact that this universe was functional (even if there was no life in it) was all he needed to go ultra-convinced on his assumption that the Lord's love was real and that it approved his project.
    Caubac built his labyrinth to protect this treasure. (Not because he was afraid of it being misused, simply because he was afraid of it being stolen from him)
    He believed Triten was the only thing he needed in the whole wide world.
    To be fair, that practically completed his purpose as a Dead Apostle as well, leaving him in a complete NEET state. He was right about Triten being the only thing he ever needed.
    But imagine the panic when he found out Triten was operating as a human being.
    It's the level of shock you get when your computer gets infected by a virus from a porn site.
    He made a perfect image of God, and then it turned human.
    Would that mean God is human?
    That God is made from humans?
    God eventually becomes human?
    None of these options were possible. There is no God in humans.
    But Triten became human.
    The conclusion here is that human beings were all there was to the universe.
    = God doesn't exist.
     
    After approaching this line of argument, Caubac practically stopped thinking.
    His strong will and proneness to delusion kept him on his feet, although in an unmoving state.

    « One more time. I need to see Triten one more time. I could have just made a mistake somewhere along the way. Or maybe Triten really is... No, forget that thought. »



    And so he started looking for Hibiki. That's the whole backstory for Mahou Tsukai no Hako.

    ※Completing his "Or maybe Triten really is..." sentence:

    « Triten was a model for the universe with no life in it. (The word "life" here refers specifically to intelligent lifeforms capable of self-evolution.)
    But in the process of its expansion, the universe birthed lifeforms.
    That is God's true deed.
    If Triten, an in-depth inspection of the Lord's love, birthed a human being, that's evidence pointing to the thought that the world is made from the Lord's love.
    I knew I was right!
    But... the problem is that by creating Triten, I kinda violated the creed that we mustn't create God. Actually, if a human can create God, then...  »



    He got lost in this labyrinth of thought.
    All that said, even if Hibiki is indeed Triten (God), Caubac would deny the notion on the logic that "God is an omnipresent essence, not something with a physical presence".

    « God's love exists.
    But it can't take a human form.
    It can't take a form humans can comprehend.
    He can't be alive. »



    Above is an example of cool speech he would to reject Hibiki's nature or pretend he never saw it.
    ...This is the story of how he ruined his own beliefs and came out of his 2000-year-long battle in total denial, but even after all this, he still prioritized the ideal form of God's love over his own happiness and salvation.

    コーバック・アルカトラス
    死徒二十七祖、序列の二七。
     原理血戒は「失敗作」あるいは「余り物」。
     「死徒になる前から教会の教徒」だった吸血鬼。
     西暦に切り替わるちょっと前に朱い月に撓み、見所があったために純血を与えられ、祖にされた。
     それ以降は吸血鬼になってしまった自分の身を嘆きつつ、かつての仲間たち(信者たち)に合わせる顔がない、 そもそも会ったら殺してしまう、という事で地下洞窟に引きこもった。
     それが色々あって一大迷宮・アルカトラスを作る事になる。
     
     西暦1000年ぐらいのタイミングで聖典トライテンを完成させる。
     その後、彼の姿を見たものはいない。
     聖堂教会、および吸血鬼社会において、コーバックは「自らが書き上げた真理の書・聖典トライテンを守るため に居城を改築していったら、いつのまにか次元のゆがんだ大迷宮になってしまい、本人さえ出られなくなった」 とされている。
     
     本人は人の血を吸うことでしか延命できない自分の体を嫌い、無機物に変化したとされている。
     その姿は「錠前」そのものだとか。
     ↓
     「魔法使いの箱」において、ひびきは人工生命(トライテン)が人間になって紛れ込んだもの、という設定が加 わった。
     
     「この世は主が創造したもの、地下は主の愛で包まれている。人間が暴徒化してヒャッハー食料だー、とかやる のも神の愛。神の愛のカタチとかマジ人間には計り知れない」という思想のもと、主の愛を理解し書き留めたも のが聖典トライテンである。
     突き詰めてみたら宇宙のモデルケースになっていた、というオチ。
     
     無論、本人に宇宙のモデルケースなんて作る気はなかったが、作ってみたらこうなった。
     「主の愛の存在証明」=「宇宙」という結論に達したことでコーバックは自分の正しさを認識し、同時に、この 誰もが欲しがってやまないであろう超絶カッチョイイお宝を隠れそう、と迷宮を作り上げた。
     
     だから宇宙の速度で増築されていく。まじ脱出不可能。
     
     ここから魔法使いの箱から進化。トライテンに絶対の自信を持つコーバックだが、ちょっと目を離しているうち にトライテンが保管庫から消失し、日本の喫茶店でなんか人間になってしまっていた。
     
     トライテン=主の愛、証明であるのに、そのトライテンは進化結果として人間になりやがったので ある!
     
     「己の中に神を見てはならない」のがカトリック。
     そんなコーバックがひびきの事を知ったらもう脱糞もののショックなワケ。
     自分は神を証明するつもりで、神がいないことを証明してしまった、 と。
     
     ーーー
    ※補足
     
     トライテンの言う「私は間違っていた」の理由として、「自分の中に神を見てはならない」「自分のために祈っ てはならない」(祈りは主のために。救いをもとめて主に祈る、はダメなのです。あくまで主のために祈るので す。カレンと同じ境地)「主の愛を絶対とし、疑わない。なので教典にある以外の主のカタチを願ってはいけな い」という考えがある。
     神の愛=この世界。
     僕らの生きているのは神さまの愛の具現であり、世界にはどのような苦しみが満ちていようと、それもまた大い なる神の御業(愛)のシステムの一つなのである。
     
     世界は主の思いによって作られたもの。
     
     人間の仕組み(魂・肉体・精神)を突き詰め、きちんと書物にすれば主の愛を明確に提示できるの ではないか。
     そう考えってあらゆる記述、モデルを作り始めたコーバクは、森羅万象をつきつめてカタチにし、結果的に宇宙 のモデルケースができてしまった。
     (完成するまで、それが宇宙のモデルケースだと気づかなかった)
     で、この宇宙が(たとえ生命がいないとしても)正しく機能していることこそが、世界には「主の愛」が存在し 、容認されているのだと超思いこむ。
     この宝を守るために迷宮を作るコーバック。
     (悪用されるのを恐れたのではなく、ホントに奪われるのだけが怖かった)
     彼的にはとトライテンさえあれば他にはもう何もない。
     つーかほとんど死徒としてゴールしたようなものなので、完全ニート状態。彼にはトライテンさえあれば良かっ たのです。
     が、そのトライテンが人間として動きだしたと知ったらもう大パニック。
     エロサイトいったらパソコンがウィルスに汚染されたぐらいの大ショック。
     完璧な神の偶像を作ったら、それが人間になっていた。
     では人間は神なのか。
     神は人間から生まれるものなのか。
     神は人間になるものなのか。
     それはありえない。人間の中に神はいない。
     だがトライテンは人間になった。
     つまり宇宙にはそもそも人間しかいなかった。
     =神は存在しない。
     
     
     みたいな論法になって、コーバックはほとんど思考停止。
     一歩も動けない状態になるものの、持ち前の強い意志と妄想力でなんとか踏みとどまり、
     「もう一度。もう一度、トライテンを見てみよう。
     なにか私が間違ったかもしんないし。あるいは本当にトライテンは—――いや、なんでもない」
     とひびきを探しをはじめる、というのが魔法使いの箱のバックストーリー。
     
     
     ※ありは本当にトライテンは—――
     の続き。
     トライテンは生命の存在しない宇宙のモデルケースだった。
     (生命とは、この場合、自己進化を可能とする知的生命体とする)
     だが、宇宙として成長していく過程で生命体を生んでしまった。
     それは本当に神の御業そのものである。
     主の愛をつきつめたトライテンが人間を生むのなら、それはたっぱりこの世界主の愛そのものであることを証明 する材料になる。
     やった、やはり自分は間違っていない!
     けど……問題は、そのトライテンを自分が作ってしまったコトで、神を作ってはいけない教義に反しチャったよ な俺、つーか人間が作れる神ってことは……
     といった至高の迷宮。
     
     
     といえば、コーバック的には、ひびきがトライテン(神さま)だとしても、
     「神はあるものだ。居るものではない」
     と否定する。
     神の愛はある。
     だがそれは人間のようなカタチであってはならない。
     それは人間が理解できるカタチであってはならない。
     それは、生命としてあるべきではない。
     みたいな決め台詞でひびきを否定、あるいは見なかった事になる。
     ……それは彼の二千年にわたる戦いの全否定、自らの信念を自らで台無しにする事になるが、それでも彼は「自 分の幸福、救い」より「理想的な神の愛」を優先したのである。

  15. [v] Fate/side material - Encyclopedia: Noble Colour [Others], p.068 [T]

    Noble Colour [Others]
    A name for inborn special talents, used within the Association.
    Primarily used in reference to those who possess mystic eyes. For instance, the mystic eyes of Tsukihime's Shiki are an example of a Noble Color.
    Rider's mystic eyes of petrification fall under the classification of "Jewel", which exceeds even the "Gold" possessed by the highest class of bloodsucker.
    Further, beyond Jewel lies "Rainbow". These ultimate mystic eyes, which blend and mix all seven colors of the rainbow like a kaleidoscope, are considered to be the mark of the King of the Moon.

    ノウブルカラー【その他】
    魔術協会において、もって生まれた特殊な資質の事をこう呼ぶ。
    おもに魔眼持ちに使われる。月姫の志貴の魔眼もノウブルカラー。
    ライダーの石化の魔眼は最上級の吸血種が持つという“黄金”の更に上をいく“宝石”。
    この宝石の更に上にあるのが“虹”万華鏡の知く七色が混同したモノで、月の王さまの証とされるとか。

    Q: You must tell us the details of the battle between the Crimson Moon and Zelretch at his prime!!

    A: You are asking me to divulge such delicious details from my stash of ideas? Mmmm... I have shown some similar scenes in Mahoyo, they would carry a similar vibe. It would be something like, the Crimson Moon dropping a mirror image of the Moon (HERE IT COMES!) versus Zelretch doing something only he was able to do: a virtually limitless Ether Cannon unleashed through a special magic circle ("Magic Square"). If we had five times the budget of Mahoyo, then we may be able to realize such a scene.

    Q:赤い月VS全盛期ゼルレッチの詳細を是非

    A:そんな美味しいネタをネタコーナーで披露しろと!?まあ、似たようなシーンはまほよでやっているので、あんな感じと思いねえ。月を鏡像化して落としてくる(滑らせてくる。シンカー!)朱い月VS型月世界でゼルレッチにだけ可能な、特殊な魔法陣展開法で放たれる事実上の無尽エーテル砲という感じ。まほよの五倍の予算があればなんとかなる。

  17. [v] Notes - Demonic Sword [knight arms]

    Demonic Sword [knight arms]
    The name of the weapon that Knights carry.
    All human species born in this world are effected by Gin. Babies born with a large amount of Gin in them shape it as if it's their bones during their lives, and when they reach adulthood, it is laid outside their body. Because it is created with the unanalyzed entity Gin, it is able to cause various effects and its power is strong enough to be considered a weapon.
    Only few humans can shape the Demonic Swords, and those who carry a Demonic Sword powerful enough to be used for war are considered as Knights. Only one Demonic Sword exists per Knight.

    魔剣 [knight arms]
    騎士が持つ武器の総称。
    この世界に生まれた人間種は、すべからくジンの影響をうける。生誕の際にジンを多く体内に含んで誕生した赤子は、それを自らの骨子として育て上げ、成人のさいに外界にカタチとして産み落とす。この、いまだ未解明のジンで形成された兵器は様々な現象を誘発し、その影響は十分に兵器とよべるレベルをもっている。
    魔剣を形にできる人間は数少なく、中でも実戦にもちいられるほど強力な魔剣を持つものを騎士と呼ぶ。一人の騎士につき魔剣は一振りとされる。
