Notes
A remarkably powerful end-game Katana which has unrivaled damage among all piercing Katanas.

The Enforcer outdamages Kusanagi up to 100/106 DEF, assuming both shots hit, while the Celestial Blade will always outdamage Kusanagi due to its superior maximum damage and tighter damage range. Despite boasting superior damage, these UT Katanas do not pierce through enemies, allowing Kusanagi to stay relevant when crowd-control is needed.

History
This item is the T14 katana, which was previously unobtainable. It was added to the game in Patch X.16.0 (Aug 2017), but the katana and projectile sprites were made black squares to reflect the item’s status as unreleased.

In July 2020, the item was released as a drop from Oryx the Mad God 3, along with the other T14 weapons, T7 abilities, and T15 armor.

The Realm Eye says:
Incredible that a mortal would know of such a weapon. Very well, I shall tell you what I know.
The eastern realms are united under the icon of this katana, which has long been accounted in legend as a powerful weapon whose swings control the wind and can slay the immortal.
It was gifted from the heavens unto mortals for some unknown purpose, but I can say that those who are unworthy of even seeing this gift may be stricken from life by divine judgment.
