Sacred treasures


Sacred treasures


All heavenly beings have the potential to master a total of ten attacks which correspond with different levels of their growth. These attacks are called Jingi, or "sacred treasures". Higher level sacred treasures have a higher damage capability than lower ones. If a heavenly being is a power-user (having received a power from a God Candidate), their power is merge with their sacred treasures. In the case of Ueki, he manifests these abilities through his talent of tree growth. A heavenly being's sacred treasures with no special powers will take the form of stone. In the Battle Game, there are only six heavenly beings: Ueki, Robert, Kilnorton, Diegostar, Balo and Ban Dicoot, but only Ueki and Robert have level two sacred treasures.

[edit] List of sacred treasures

Kurogane (nomenclature: iron; The barrel of the weapon.)

The 1-star sacred treasure, gained through consciousness/realization of the fact that the user is a heavenly being. It is a large cannon grown out from the user's arm that fires a large ball at the opponent. For Ueki, a large cannon grows out from a tree and fires a large ball of wooden strands at the opponent. It is first seen in the battle between Ueki and Alessio Iuliano.

Hood (nomenclature: immobile; Hood cannot be moved.)

The 2-star treasure, gained through perseverance. It is a giant arm grown out of the ground to protect the user from attacks, but it can also be used offensively by striking at enemies. It is first seen when Ueki was defending himself from Tenko.

Ranma (nomenclature: chaos; A blade from an arm is really chaotic!)

The 3-star treasure gained through firmness. Ranma is a gigantic knife grown from the arm of the user. Ueki's Ranma grows out from a tree to strike the opponent. It is first seen in the battle where Ueki uses it to retire Oni. The shape of the blade varies from user to user. It is also called Ranma Sword.[1]

Mash (nomenclature: crush; Seriously, just look at what Mash does.)

The 4-star treasure gained through body and strength. Mash is a cube-like big mouth that chomps the opponent. It can jump out of the ground towards the opponent. Ueki's Mash is a big mouth with tree legs that comes from the ground to chomp the opponent. It is first seen in the second battle between Ueki and Don. Mash can be used to defend against attacks as well by chomping on Kurogane, Ranma and Pick.

Ressen/Pick (nomenclature: pick; A large stick.)

The 5-star treasure, gained through centralization. Pick is a large column that shoots out very fast from the arm of the user towards the opponent. It can be pointed downwards to propel the user upwards or it can be detached from the arm and used as a ramp. Ueki's Pick grows from a tree and has yellow and black stripes. Each heavenly beings Pick are made from differing matter and have different markings on them, but Robert Haydn's pick is the shape of a corkscrew and Balo's pick is also pointed at the end. Pick is first seen in the battle between Ueki and Yunpao in the Dogura Mansion.

Raika (nomenclature: flash of lightning; This weapon lets you travel really fast!)

The 6-star treasure, gained through anticipation. Raika is a pair of rollerblade-like attachments on the user's feet allowing them rapid movement on the ground. However, the user cannot jump when using these. It is first seen in the battle between Ueki and Karl Paccho.

Galiper

The 7-star treasure, gained through speed. A grid of light appears on the ground, followed by a boxed wall that is shot up from anywhere on the grid to capture the opponent. Any attempts to attack while inside the box are futile and can be directed back at the captured. The opponent only has half a second to avoid imprisonment. It is first seen in the battle between Ueki and Caption.

Namihana (nomenclature: wavy plant; See namihana's features.)

The 8-star treasure, gained through an unknown test. The appearance is that of a massive whip. It is a highly flexible weapon which can be turned in any direction desired by the user. It is first seen in the match between Ueki and Gitar.

Seikū (nomenclature: mastery of air; Wings offer lots of air capabilities.)

The 9-star treasure, gained through balance. A pair of wings will appear on the user's back, granting them flying capabilities. It is first seen in the second opening theme of the series, although it was first used in a fight between Ueki and Anon. The color of the wings varies from user to user.
Maoh
The 10-star sacred treasure, gained through will. Summons a creature that varies from heavenly being to heavenly being. Maoh is a formless weapon. The power of the summon is based on the desires of the fighter, which in Ueki's case was to protect his friends. Ueki's Maoh takes the form of Kobayashi and is relatively weak compared to Anon's Maoh due to his low will power. But due to an increase in Ueki's wishes to save his friends, his Maoh's strength increased and he gained control over it.
Robert's Maoh is an extremely hideous black skeletal ram and is the embodiment of his hatred for humanity. It is used by Anon after Anon absorbs Robert. Maoh can only be used only six times in a lifetime. First mentioned in the ending scenes of the battle between Robert Haydn and Ueki. First appearance in the last battle between Ueki and Anon, although it was attempted by Robert in the Dogura Mansion where he was prevented by Kobasen along with the ending of round 1.
This level is attained only by Robert Haydn, Kosuke Ueki, God and Margarette (Robert's God Candidate).
Demi-weapon - Tenso
The unknown sacred treasure that changes the geography of any place. Only God has this power, but since Anon can absorb powers from whom he devours, he wielded it and created the pathway, where the last battle took place.
