This technique also works on the dead, similar to the Tao Family's. Although the people remain alive during the technique, they cannot be turned back to normal. Placing the talisman on the person's forehead forcefully seizes control of their spirit. The Dong Family, on the other hand, practices a technique which utilizes dark-colored paper talismans to control the spirits of living humans. Dong Family Īppearance of the Dong Family's Jiang Shi

This method enables the Jiang Shi to operate without talismans. In rare circumstances, a spirit willingly allows a Dàoshì to integrate them back into their corpse. As later shown with Pyron they can also add mechanical parts to the body to increase power, in his case adding a piston to increase the power of his basic punch. As long as the bodies are not destroyed too much, they can be repaired and improved over and over again. The corpses can be improved in many ways, such as replacing limbs with animal parts or weapons, in order to create even stronger warriors. The commands on the talismans are written with the Daoshi's blood. The Tao Family practices a technique known as Tiao Shi Song Shi ( 跳屍送尸術, Chōshisōshijutsu), in which a spirit is reintegrated with its dead body and then controlled by yellowish white paper talismans that are placed on the corpse. There are two different schools of creating Jiang Shi: The controlled people are capable of utilizing the skills they had in life. At that point, the only ways to stop it are to destroy its body completely or break the spell binding the spirit to the body. If a Jiang Shi's talisman is removed and the Dàoshi is unable to replace it in time, the Jiang Shi will enter a mindless rage. As corpses, they do not feel pain or grow tired. Jun fires an RPG at Honhon, who defends herself with her Over Soul 'Zantsahan'. Honhon refuses to allow them to escape, so she releases Keiten. After Tao Jun shoots Enki, her group gets in a helicopter to leave. It first appeared in Hiroyuki Takei's "Itako no Anna" one-shot where its owner is a hitokiri named "Tojiro".The talismans are placed on the bodies' foreheads and suppress the spirits' emotions in order to keep them under control, as well as to make them better soldiers since they will not hesitate out of fear. There, she watches Enki attack Horokeu, but Lee Pyron interferes and destroys Enkis Jiang Shi.The name of the blade comes from the time when Amidamaru, touched by Mosuke's work, shed a tear on it and claimed it was a raindrop.Tamao would later use it as a medium for her Over Soul with Dai Tengu. Īfter the Shaman Fight, it somehow came into the possession of Tamamura Tamao who, when she snapped, used it to run amok in Tokyo for three years straight. The second time was when Yoh clashed with the Archangel Michael, and Mosuke was once again summoned to repair it again. After it was repaired again, Yoh never returned it and instead kept it, using it as a medium for his Over Soul with Amidamaru. The first time was when the spirit of a bandit Tokageroh, who was killed by Amidamaru, stole it and used it against Amidamaru to get his revenge. This was when Asakura Yoh appeared where he and Oyamada Manta learned about Amidamaru's true history from Mosuke, and voluntarily lent his own spirit to Yoh to repair the blade before passing. 600 years later, it was put on a glass case display at a local museum where Mosuke's spirit watched and cry over the rusted katana.

It was believed that with Harusame, Amidamaru would never lose a fight and ironically he died fighting the one time he was unable to use it. With Amidamaru doing the fighting and would often break the blades he used, Mosuke decided to use his late father's cutting knife as the only quality steel he could gain.

It was the greatest masterpiece created by the Blacksmith Mosuke during the Sengoku Period, when he and Amidamaru were in their boyhood protecting orphans from bandits.

Harusame is a katana with a hilt wrapped in red cloth and a golden tsuba with indentions at the four corners and crescent markings on the sides of the blade.
