Welcome to Gaia! ::

The items are emant to supplement what Vahn already has. They don't actually amplify his abilities, more like harness and force the rawness of them into specific things.

If I actually win this match with Viper, when I go against Yusuke, you'll see how out of control Vahn will be with his power and how he learns that the three items actually were not meant to be offensive, but actually helped to protect people from himself.

Because, as you all know from reading the fight, what he's meant to become, yadda yadda, can't handle it yet, etc, cakes, profit.

I don't know the full details to be honest.

Maximos has just warned me against doing it, and told me I'd never be the same if I did do it.

Edit: I wanted to use it.. but I actually never used the Fang at all.

I maybe referred to it.. once or twice... but never took it out.

For all we know it could have been left in the sidelines or something. I just plain forgot about it.

Then Viper took his out, and I was like-- hey, waitasec.

Back to Shin Natsume, then?

"It's not that he couldn't use his abilities without the sword... it's that he can't control them without it."

Back to unleashing the beast all over people's heads.

I ahdn't actually thought of it like that, but yea, Josh.

And if I make this canonical, I;m sure Vahn can recover enough remnants of the items to have atleast 1 of them re-forged when hes in the Fire Plane.

The greaves would definitely make a come back.

Unmounting from a sword? I got a way to stop that.

You reach over his face and grab his left ear with your left hand while you reach across the weapon's hilt with your right hand to grab at the (your) left side of it, and then you pull outwards with either hand.

Swords gets twisted to the right. Head/body goes to the left. Pain. Plus you got a hold of their ear.

Splitting them in two works. Threading their body like a needle just seems awesome to me. Kinda hard to do with a flamberge.

Hand and knife come out the back, arm bends, knife goes into skull.

Or, in the traditional 'movie' way... reach around and grab the blade with your free hand, then throw him or something. Though that usually works best if you're on the ground.

You should totally shove your arm into his chest and crush his heart in your hand.
