my sword X3 and yes its a her lol
redemption has been with akuma kanji since he could remember it was was the family sword of his clan, who ever could wield it had great potential to be the king of all things, though the story was lost on kanji since he dosn't believe in prophecies and destiny but the sword holds his memory of a time before so he keeps it close to him at all times
the sword itself has tremendous power and the more is used the stronger it gets, one swipe can level a forest in the right hands.
