Misc.
Asura: He uses only three swords for this and yet manages to give the impression with his spirit and aura that he wields nine simultaneously. Asura is a reference to a Hindu term. The Asura are a group of creatures looking for more power, sometimes called demons, referred to more and more in later years as "evil" creatures.
