Notes
- September 2008's Item of the Month.
- Mr. Store description:
- Crush your enemies,
perform seasonal attacks,
tranquilize your mind.
- Crush your enemies,
- Grants the following combat skills when equipped:
Spring Raindrop Attack: Recover 10-20 HP and MP. (Removes all usage of other haiku skills.) (0 MP)
Summer Siesta: Guaranteed instant critical hit. (10 MP)
Falling Leaf Whirlwind: Delevels monster. (10 MP)
Winter's Bite Technique: Inflicts cold damage on enemy. (Removes all usage of other haiku skills.) (10 MP)
The 17 Cuts: Damages monster, grants 10 adventures of Haiku State of Mind. (10 MP)
- Holding two katana (with the skill Double-Fisted Skull Smashing) allows the added ability to avoid the removal of the other combat skills after using Spring Raindrop Attack or The 17 Cuts; alternately, you can use the latter two skills twice (once each, or one skill twice) before all the combat skills are removed.
References
- The weapon's name, combined with its description, forms a haiku.
- The five seasonal skills of the weapon refer to the concept of kigo as well as mora count, both of which are important components of Japanese haiku.
- The weapon's plural is shown as it would be in Japanese (i.e. "haiku katana" instead of "haiku katanas".)
