⇨ Original There is a school of swordsmanship that has been passed down since ancient times in the Eastern Digital World. Established in a mountainous region with many steep mountains, this school is known as "Meidou-ryū" and is characterized by sword techniques that contain "rain" in their names. Digimon who have mastered Meidou-ryū after intense training are said to evolve into Murasamemon as proof of menkyo kaiden. There are likely few Digimon that can fully withstand the surging sword techniques it unleashes through its physical strength, with which it freely wields its enormous greatsword, and skill. During battle, it uses three secret techniques depending on the situation. Its "Gō-no-zan: Murashigure" is a bisecting slash attack unleashed from an overhead stance, and the "forceful" blade that cuts through the enemy's defenses, no matter how fortified they are, its "Jū-no-zan: Tsukishigure" is the "flexible" blade in which it uses its sword to deflect any attack from a low stance, and its "Tsui-no-zan: Kokuu" is the deadly "final" blade in which it leaps toward the enemy while carrying its sword on its right shoulder, and enhances its sword attack by spinning its body vertically in the air. Legend says that those defeated by Meidou-ryū sword techniques see visions of thunderous rain in their dying moments.
⇨ English 東方のデジタルワールドには古い時代から伝わる剣術流派が存在する。険しい山々が連なる山岳地域に根付いたその流派は「瞑怒雨流」（めいどうりゅう）と呼ばれ雨の名を冠する剣技を特徴としている。厳しい修行の末に「瞑怒雨流」を修めたデジモンは免許皆伝の証としてムラサメモンへと進化すると伝えられている。巨大な大刀を自在に操る膂力と技倆から繰り出される怒涛の剣技をしのぎ切れるデジモンは少ないだろう。戦闘の際は3種の奥義を状況に合わせ使い分ける。『豪ノ斬・叢時雨』（ごうのざん・むらしぐれ）は上段の構えから放たれる一刀両断の斬撃であり、敵が防御を固めていたとしても防御ごと叩き切る「豪」の剣、『柔ノ斬・月時雨』（じゅうのざん・つきしぐれ）は下段の構えであらゆる攻撃を刀ではじき返す「柔」の剣、『終ノ斬・哭雨』（ついのざん・こくう）は右肩に刀を担いた状態で敵に向かって跳躍し、空中で体を縦に回転させることで剣撃を高めた必殺の「終」の剣である。伝承では「瞑怒雨流」の剣技により斃されたものは今際の際に雷鳴とどろく雨の幻影を見ると言われている。
Murasame is a sword wielded by Inuzuka "Shino" Moritaka, a protagonist and “Dog Warrior” that appears in the Japanese epic, Nansō Satomi Hakkenden, also known as the The Eight Dog Chronicles. The novel focuses on the Eight Dog Warriors, spirit-children of a Princess and a dog named Yatsufusa. Each Dog Warrior has a peony-shaped birthmark inherited from Yatsufusa, with Shino’s birthmark appearing on his left arm. Murasamemon’s Beast Man design and body markings are inspired by Shino, its sword being inspired by Murasame itself.
