Hello, I’m KENTA, a Japanese manga enthusiast! In this article, I’ll be exploring the reason why Gyomei Himejima didn’t bring his Nichirin Blade to the Strategy Meeting during the Pillar Training Arc. This curious detail caught the attention of many fans watching the anime. We’ll dive into the unique characteristics of Gyomei’s Nichirin Blade and how it influences his fighting style. The Pillars at the Strategy Meeting First, let’s look back at what the Strategy Meeting was like. This meeting took place after the battle in the Swordsmith Village and discussed the “marks” that Mitsuri Kanroji and Muichiro Tokito awakened during the fight. In the meeting, each of the Pillars is shown placing their Nichirin Blades at their feet. However, Gyomei was the only one who didn’t have his blade with him, raising questions among fans. Characteristics of Gyomei Himejima’s Nichirin Blade Next, let’s examine the unique characteristics of Gyomei’s Nichirin Blade. Unlike the other Pillars, Gyomei’s weapon is composed of a handheld axe and a spiked flail connected by a chain. While the other Pillars wield sword-shaped Nichirin Blades, Gyomei’s weapon is clearly designed for a specialized fighting style. Some theories suggest that the spiked flail has a diameter of about 40 centimeters and weighs up to 300 kilograms, showcasing Gyomei’s extraordinary strength.
