Description
Gekido is Arashi Akakichi's weapon. Arashi is a medium to close range fighter. However, he usually fights from a distance even at close range. This stems from his use of the spear-like naginata, Gekido. Befitting the name, the pole of the weapon is decorated with gorgeous criss-crossing patterns that snake up to the blade, as well as a an intricately designed base that at first seems incredibly oversized but serves a very distinct purpose. In combat, Gekido is used to engage from a mostly safe distance, with Arashi preferring to let the distance between himself and his opponent to make up the majority of his defensive strategy. As such, lunge attacks and forward thrusts are habits of his offense.

However, he can also engage targets from a distance using Gekido’s secondary mode. The entire front half of the weapon retracts into the base before the base itself shifts forward and reveals a crank on the side and a barrel on the front. This transforms the naginata into a Dust-powered beam cannon, which is why Gekido is a APBN (Accelerated Particle Beam Naginata). The beam cannon is quite destructive, but has an immense cooldown rate, which means that it takes hours before another shot can be fired, and requires a lot of Dust meaning that every single shot is expensive.

Trivia
