Description
SamuraiSaber is an Attack Type Blade with an overall round shape. The Gear Chip features a samurai wearing a kabuto helmet.
As part of the Unique Line, SamuraiSaber has resin Launcher Hooks instead of metal ones, which increase Outward Weight Distribution (OWD). In addition, it features an Unique Line gimmick: normally, SamuraiSaber performs consecutive attacks; however, the 2 protrusions can retract. The normal four-sided shape with katana (consecutive attack) changes into a two-sided shape with tachi (single hit). The intention is to increase Burst Attack to deliver a "single hit" (一撃必殺, Ichigeki Hissatsu), causing the opponent to Burst. In the anime and manga, the gimmick activation is called the "Shooting Star" technique.
