The story of Bushi Noct

"Its body becomes a blade upon death, to be taken up by the next generation. If the Bushi who inherits it has a weak heart, the voices of the dead will drive it mad. The madness turns it into Bushi Noct that endlessly wanders."

Bushi Noct is what a Bushi becomes when the cursed blade breaks its wielder — a maddened wanderer of the dark. In play it's the batch's top striker and a Lumbering-Lv-5 base worker.
