[edit] Hida Tenburo
Judgement was first given to the Crab Clan Champion, Hida Tenburo, who in 509 used it to murder his children in their sleep, then took his own life.[1]
[edit] Isawa Mizuhiko
Judgement surfaced again in 1170, when it was discovered in the possession of the Dark Oracle of Earth Yasuki Nokatsu. Nokatsu intended on using the sword, but his plans were foiled by a group of Phoenix shugenja. One of the group, Isawa Mizuhiko, used the blade to kill Nokatsu.[2]
Mizuhiko continued to wield the blade, and later used it to kill the Dark Oracle of Air, Soshi Jomyako.[3]
[edit] Effect
Judgement is probably the most subtle of the Bloodswords as it affects a basic task of a samurai's duties - judging others. However the bloodsword drives its bearer to become overzealous in his judgement, harshly punishing even the smallest infractions.
