“I suppose for quite some time,” Togame said, “our rivals have shown no signs of being stricken with the venom of the Shikizaki blades – especially with Rinne Higaki and Seito the Garland, and with Zanki Kiguchi and Oto the Cured, but also with Nanami Yasuri and Akuto the Eel. Her genius gobbled the venom up. And don’t forget Konayuki Itezora, who only had Soto the Twin for a short while. Which means the last time we were up against someone noticeably affected by the venom was way back with Kanara Azekura.”
