Trivia

The spear derives its moniker from the myth that a dragonfly landed on its blade and was instantly cut in two. The Tonbogiri was one of three legendary Japanese spears created by the famed swordsmith Masazane Fujiwara, said to be wielded by Honda Tadakatsu.
 * The blade itself resembles those found on Bill polearms, though with significantly larger proportions.
 * At its initial release this weapon could not be researched in the Clan Dojo, this was fixed in Update 15.15.01.
 * Listed as FlowerPowerPolearm in the game files.
