Natsunosuke

The fishers of Waterfall City still talk about the day the water stopped. They say Natsunosuke, a humble blacksmith, was attempting to reforge an ancient, shattered katana—a task deemed impossible. When the forge’s heat proved insufficient, they carried the glowing metal to the river's edge, plunging it into the current. For one heartbeat, the entire city fell silent as the great falls ceased their roar. A blinding blue light erupted from Natsunosuke’s forge, and the river itself seemed to pour into them. When the water crashed down again, their hair flowed like an eternal ocean wave. The shock of that power never left their face, but their eyes gained a weight that could judge the soul of steel, and a power some say not even Asayaka could command.
