Kikyo, also known as Atarasi's Armor, [1] was crafted by Hida Osano-Wo for his brother Hida Atarasi, whom he refused to believe had been killed in the Shadowlands. The armor rested in Kyuden Hida, awaiting the day legends told that a hero with Atarasi's eyes would come and claim it. [2] [3]

Wielders[]

Famous Crab general were given the great honor of donning the Armor for the remainder of his career, which was always brief but glorious. [3]

Abilities[]

The armor brought both a blessing and curse upon the wearer. It granted absolute immunity to all electrical and fire damage, but a piece of Osano-Wo's restless soul resided in the armor, urging the wearer into glorious battle. The wearer would enter in berserker trance when engaging in combat. All Shadowlands creatures had a natural hatred for the armor, and would desire to kill the wearer before any other foes. [3]
