Overview

Narukami is an ukaku-type quinque that sits at the S+ grade, placing it at the very top of the rating scale. Its central trait is the release of densely packed Rc cells that behave like bolts of lightning. A built-in tracking property lets those bolts pursue their mark, so avoiding them is next to hopeless.

Role

In its standard form the weapon fires electrical-style discharges that chase down whatever they are aimed at. Shifting into its alternate mode raises its toughness enough to cut through a limb belonging to the One-Eyed Owl. The quinque was left partly damaged when Arima traded blows with Renji Yomo.

Notable Members

Kishou Arima wielded Narukami throughout its appearances. Hints around the weapon suggest it may have been made from the kakuhou of Yomo's sister, Hikari Kirishima, and its lightning behavior echoes both the kagune of Renji Yomo and Touka Kirishima as well as the quinque T-Human once carried by Hairu Ihei.
