[i]"Of the Ten, it's said the Toad clings tightest to life."[/i]

[hr][sup][b]ORIGINS & CREATIONS:[/b] 
| It's said by some that Ten Paths Kai forged each of the Beast Arms within their respective spheres of Uesekai, where each Beast gave a piece of themselves to form the Pacts of Kin. Others say that Kai's hand never touched them, and that each branch of the Kin Clan were directly bestowed the ceremonial armaments upon reception of their Pact. The only fact anyone can agree on is that it's been so long that nobody remembers the truth, so the speculation forever continues. |

| Being one of the ten Beast Arms of Uesekai, it is believed that this blade was first utilized by Tennogama, Emperor Toad and Great Beast of the Gama Pact. Due to the nature of it's usage, however, only a handful of Murakin Clansmen have ever wielded it for longer than necessary to defend their Hidden Village. Kenshiro Murakin, the last of his line, earns the distinction of wielding this Beast Arm longer than any other Kin Pactkeeper. |

[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Emperor's Tanto is one of the Ten Beast Arms of the realm of the Golden Beasts: Uesekai. Thousands of years ago, a being of great power came to Uesekai, and claimed to be a God of another world. Through trickery, deciet and combat, each of the Ten Kingdoms of Uesekai were brought to heel, and each of their great leaders were in turn taken under pact, with the one called Kai sealing each of their souls within powerful armaments that would bridge the gap between Uesekai and The Shimmer. 

In the heart of Gama, in the Crown Temple of the Heavenly Toad Emperor, the body of Tennogama is interred and prayed over day after day by the Heavenly Priesthood. It is their energy which allows Tennogama's soul to remain linked to the Shimmer, with his blade acting as the physical medium from which he conducts himself. This, along with the others like it, Sage Kai distributed among the Kin clan - they who would later spread themselves among the Palette Clans as an evenly distributed shade of the Painter. To the Purple and Gold, Mura-Kin, The Emperor's Tanto was given as the power of the toad and their kind over the celestial forces. 

The blade itself, while sheathed in the hands of a human, is nothing more than a personal defense weapon of the most personal order. Six inches in length, its blade is suited only for being kept tight to one's belt, or to slit themselves open in honorable suicide. When channeled with Purple Lux, however, the blade and hilt expand to the size of an intimidating Ōdachi; thus allowing the blade to expel that energy in razor sharp waves of gravity. 
A Pacted individual, such as a member of the Murakin Clan, may additionally channel their Gold Lux into the blade in order to tap into the raw energy of Tennogama himself. This allows the individual to take on a toad-like form, increasing their individual strength, endurance and capability to channel Purple Lux.
