Death
Eventually Yakakina lost a duel to death, but his weapon was passed down to his son.

Aftermath
Following in his fathers footsteps, Yakakina'son became a duelist, but he was not able to hide the weapon's sinister side from his opponents. He was discovered, disgraced, and expelled from a Kakita tournament. He passed the knowledge of the Shosuro Blade to the Shosuro Daimyo, who through Shosuro O-Kido avenged the clan's disgrace. O-Kido used the Shosuro Blade to exact revenge upon the Kakita in the next tournament.
