Fuse Chansin and a Holy Blade. Holy Blades can be obtained in Wisps or in post-battle rewards from fighting Orcanos.

Yo-kai Watch 2

Fuse the Sublime Whetstone and the Battered Blade to obtain a Holy Blade for Chansin. You get the Sublime Whetstone from the Oni Crank-a-kai while you get the Battered Blade for 600 Jungle Points at Jungle Hunter.

Quotes

  • Blasters T camp: "The mere touch of my divine sword will serve to rend our foes!"

Etymology

  • "Gleam" means "to shine brightly."
  • "Glitza" is a corruption of glitzern, meaning "glisten."
  • "Dortre" is a combination of "Dorado" (Golden) and "Corte" (Cut) with "Destreza" (Skill) or a combination of "Dorado" (Golden) with "Lustre" (Sheen).
  • "Aurio" is a distortion of "aureo" (golden), or "aura."

Origin

Gleam's Japanese name, Kusanagi, refers to the sword of the same name, one of the Three Imperial Regalia, originally named Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi ("Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven"), which the warrior god of storms Susanoo had carved out from the tail of the slain Yamata-no-Orochi, (see Venoct#Origin) and gifted to the goddess Amaterasu as an apology gift for his past misdeeds. It was later given to the legendary hero Yamato Takeru (see Fitwit#Origin).

One day an enemy warlord lured the hero into a trap while he was hunting on an open grassland, launching a volley of fiery arrows that set it ablaze. Desperate, Yamato Takeru used the sword to cut a path through the burning grass, and in doing so discovered it had the power to control the wind in the direction it was swung. With that newfound ability, he pushed the flames back against his enemies and turned the tides in his favour. In celebration of his victory, he renamed the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi ("Grass-cutting Sword").

Trivia

  • Gleam's random nicknames are: Glorio, Kusa, Scarf, and Sunny.
    • Kusa is in reference to his Japanese name Kusanagi.
