Kōtaku

Kōtaku (杭磔, Crucifixion Stake) is a tool used by Ruika Kishiraku for torturing purposes, but also within battle if necessary. These specific weapons are rather large variations of the standard Senbon, designed with the penetrative power and brute force to impale through virtually any opposition effortlessly. It renders the flesh apart and leaves it nothing but a mesh of skin, blood and bones, should it penetrate deep enough. While not exactly practical in the middle of battle, the Kōtaku are highly effective tools of torture and interrogation. However, if used in combat, they can be rained down on an opponent from an aerial standpoint to maximize their effectiveness.
