the sword that can cut through anything

✨🗡⛩ New cover for The Soul in the Sword!!

I'm sooooo happy with the result! The title is written in seal script, with the kanjis "kami" (spirit/god) and "katana" (sword).

I drew this instead of actually writing the fic

They say the sword is cursed. All who touch it die, one way or another: the ones who meet its blade as well as the ones who grip its hilt. Everyone agrees that saying its true name will invoke its wrath, so they call it by other names. Sky-sword. Star-blade. Steel-cutter. Zantetsuken. --- Vampire and master thief Lupin the Third has his eyes on a long lost, allegedly cursed prize: the legendary sword Zantetsuken. But he and Jigen are quickly going to realize the sword is more than they bargained for, and comes with a very possessive ghost.

You can read the first 8 chapters of The Soul in the Sword on AO3 right now, and more are coming soon!

Old cover that I put together in 1h using an old drawing from 2 years ago:

The Soul in the Sword - Chapter 11

The tunnel was damp. It was damp, and cold, and smelly, and Jigen hated it. Lupin didn’t seem to have any issue with it, cold-blooded night-dwelling crypt-loving asshole that he was, and skipped down the humid stairs like he was strolling through a meadow.

The Sentient Sword is back! On this month's installment, Lupin and Jigen explore a damp, cold, smelly AND booby-trapped tunnel. Enjoy!

(Read chapter 1 here) (supernatural AU introduction) (more fic wip)

Some little semi-primed Jokers of the Primals he's collected so far in the story!

...Plus a little bonus Anima from wayyyy in the future, because I love Anima. They should've done more with Anima. :(

Happy early birthday to me!!!!

Probably the first thing I buy for myself after years of savings.

This is literally my first katana, congratulations to me! I will use it as a calming tool exposed in my room to look at and to cosplay Goemon as soon as I cut my hair (thinking about him really calms me down, my nerves are killing me).

I'm happy.

What If Zantetsuken was Goemon's stand the whole time?
