The Blade of Hubris was one of the Shameswords made by the madman Kokujin.

Soul[]

There were fears that the soul imprisoned within the Blade of Hubris was that of Tamori. Others insisted however that not even Kokujin would have been able to shackle such a powerful spirit. [1]

Existance[]

The Blade of Hubris was the least understood of among the Shameswords, and it's existance was known only because of the vaugue recollection Hitomi Kobai had of it's creation. [1]

Appearance and Abilities[]

The gleaming blade was as white as snow, with a fine blue silk handle and a black tsuba mad of iron. [2] Hubris was a heinous sin for a samurai, placing their own personal interest over that of their lord. [1] It glossy inflated the ego of any samurai who carried it. [3]

Doji Jotaro[]

Somehow Doji Jotaro was in possession of the blade. It haunted his thoughts, destroying his sanity, but he could not part with it. [4] Jotaro believed he could master the blade, [5] but his behaviour changed and became a disgrace to him and his clan. [6]
