Takitsuba (滝唾) is the legendary kitchen knife belonging to the Gourmet Human National Treasure, Setsuno.
Appearance[]
It is a jagged and very sharp blade in the shape of zigzagged lightning bolt and has a very sleek and bright surface. It appears to have a simple dark-colored firm grip handle. According to Yuda this knife is a one-of-a-kind and there is no other blade like it in the world.
When transformed, the knife looks much more like a modern kitchen knife albeit it keeps its bright, sleek surface and also has a spike on top of the sharp edge, similar to that of Komatsu's Derous Knife.
Abilities[]
It is a powerful blade capable of deflecting giant and deadly pressurized air slashes from the holy knife Cinderella and shifting the full force of it behind Setsuno, all the while not getting a single scratch from the attack. However it was still incapable of protecting its user entirely from Cinderella's attack.
Takitsuba has the ability to change its form to suit the needs of Setsuno. It is unknown how many forms it has or if anyone other then Setsuno is able to fully use them.
