The upcoming Tomb Raider King anime has unveiled a striking new relic visual spotlighting Muramasa, the legendary Japanese katana that serves as protagonist Seo Joo-Heon’s first major relic. As one of the most iconic and lethal artifacts in the series, Muramasa perfectly sets the tone for how dangerous these ancient items can be.
The lore behind the blade is deeply dark, drawing inspiration from the real-life Muromachi-era swordsmith whose creations were ordered destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu after claiming the lives of his close family. This cemented their reputation as cursed weapons. In the series, this malevolent curse carries over intensely, with the katana demanding blood and actively compelling its wielder toward violence, leaving fans highly anticipating how these legendary relics will be brought to life.
