Itsu no Ohabari

Itsu no Ohabari, also known as Prototype #2 was an automaton in development who went rogue and destroyed the facility he was being created in. Ever since then, further research on automatons has been forbidden. He is known as The Manmade Calamity. The subjugation of Itsu no Ohabari was the original purpose of the AKCD.

Appearance


Prototype #2 first appearance is as a very large, bulky humanoid figure. Its body is completely black, except for its eyes and teeth which are a shining white. Steam seems to flow out of its mouth.

Itsu is a slender katana about average male height compared to all other Katanas. His hair is black and spikey. Steam can be seen coming out of his mouth from time to time. He has a pattern/line on his forehead that coes around his left eye and down to his left cheek.

Personality
Itsu often shows a very calm expressionless demeanor. There are times he has outbursts of laughter when he can't contain whenever he is enjoying himself.

He will refer to Kusanagi as "nii-san" or "Tsumuha" (Kusanagi's alternative name Tsumuha-no-tachi).

History
Itsu was a part of the automaton research. After they completed Kusanagi, they proceeded to the next stage of creating "Combat Automatons". Amayia Kyouko, director of the Armament Development Section, served as the counselor and educator for Itsu's character building. Her real job was to monitor and observe if he'd be useful as a weapon.

It isn't clear what triggered Itsu to go berserk but shortly after observing Takemoto interacting with his wife and daughter, he killed them both. From there, he murdered all the workers at his surveilance room and activated his armory. He then continued killing everyone he encountered including squad members and Kusanagi. This was then referred to as "The Automaton Incident".

Powers & Abilities
Although its exact powers are unknown, it seems Prototype #2 harbored immense power, enough to completely devastate the facility where the research was conducted. Scorching Arm: The ability to dissolve anything he touches with his hands very rapidly. It is a special armament designed to destroy an opposing Katana's exterior. It has been demonstrated to break chain linked fence just by brushing against it and even break through a Tenka Goken with ease. Subjugation (no official name as of yet): The ability to bend the wills of other katanas to his will. His palm cracks open, extending a syringe like device that he injects into a Katana. He rewrites the hihiirogane built into other katanas using his own soul as an automaton. This forcefully overwrites them and subdues his opponents both physically and through the "soul" practially remaking them. The armament was installed before the Automaton Incident but never activated thus not used until his recent activities. This concept was suggested by Juzo Tsukiyama long ago to imprint memories as data into the structure of hihiirogane.
