This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias.

The Corrupt Blade (邪刀丸; died 1582) was a Japanese rōnin and participant in kabukimono culture located in Harima.

Biography[edit | edit source]

As a kabukimono, the Corrupt Blade was one of eight rōnin who attacked the communities across the provinces of Izumi Settsu and Harima. Alongside the Laughing Man and the Peacock, he was one of three elite kabukimono. However, the priest Shin'nyo of the Nishinomiya Shrine sought the help of the Kakushiba ikki member Fujibayashi Naoe to eliminate the kabukimono.[1]

By 1582, the Corrupt Blade believed that the entire world was corrupt and thus needed to be destroyed and then reborn. He recruited and twisted any rōnin willing to follow his beliefs. However, Naoe soon found and assassinated the Corrupt Blade before acquiring the ōdachi Kabuki Corruptor, from his personal effects.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The Corrupt Blade is a character in Assassin's Creed: Shadows, serving as one of eight targets in the memory "The Kabukimono". After eliminating all other kabukimono, the player is given a choice how to approach the Corrupt Blade, the Laughing Man, and the Peacock when posting a reply to their recruitment message on a board at the Nishinomiya Shrine. Depending on this choice, Naoe will either kill the Corrupt Blade at the Habayama Camp or assassinate him alongside the other two elite kabukimono at a small outpost in southern Harima.
