MADOUGU ENCYCLOPEDIA

Madougu are the Elemental Weapons constructed by the Hokage Ninja Clan. Many of them have survived to the future, and are encountered during the Ura Butou Satsujin.
^_^ Also included in this list are various attacks which aren't necessarily Elemental ones.
All of this information is collected by my *consistent* research and hard work, including taping all the episodes and watching over and over, and taking notes...so please don't copy them word for word if you want it on your site...ok?

An- Koganei Kaoru's Kougan Anki's fifth form: a bow and arrow.

Bakuju- Used by Noroi of Uruha Kurenai. This reanimates the dead. It is a helmet which wanders to find the perfect body, and possesses people by erasing their memories.

Cyclone Paper Dance- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this attack with his Shikigami. Swirling paper strands can wrap around an attack and extinguish it, or wrap someone up like a mummy. Saicho's aura protects the paper from being burned.

Dokumashin - This is the madougu which is attached to Mikoto in the shape like the claws. There are ten on each side, both the left and the right side. When a person is injured by dokumashin, the poison will produce a very awful smell. Dokumashin comes in pairs with Gedokugan.

Dosei - Ishijima Domon's nose ring given by Kagerou. It amplifies one's strength. At first, Domon isn't very successful with it, but he seems to improve with time.

Eikai - allows a person to see what's happening in another place, somehow similar to a witch's magic crystal. It can also projects image and it does not seem to be able to attack. It can also teletransport people.

Ensui- Mikagami Tokiya's madougu. It uses water as its element, and as such, can enable him to use the attributes of water. (This includes steam and ice.) Its usual form is merely a handle, but when he dips it into a water source (ie, a pool, a fountain) the water becomes the blade. It can gallop water and form it into a sword as much as the water in your swimming pool. When Tokiya doesn't need it anymore, the water sword just disperse from the sword grip and falls to the ground. It is because of this madougu that Tokiya lost his precious sister, Mifuyu.

Flame Dragons- Hanabishi Recca has the ability to produce flame from his hands. This is his birthright, not a weapon. He wears the Tekkou on his arm to keep his flame under control. He can control Eight Dragons: Saiha, Nadare, Madoka, Setsuna, Humura, Rui, Resshin, and Ohka. These are all spirits of former flame masters.

Fugue- Neon, of the Uruha Oto, uses the Fukyo Waon in this attack. Fugue is a blast of noise.

Fukyo Waon- Neon, of the Uruha Oto, uses this in her battle against Recca and Mikagami. It's a green ball which seals unlimited energy. It allows her to focus soundwaves created with her flute, to destroy her target. Fugue, Prelude, Quartet, Requiem, and Rhapsody are the attacks she can make with it.

Fuujin[1]- An arm band which gives Kirisawa Fuuko of Team Hokage control over the wind. Its original central crystal, the Kaze no Tama, was missing when Kagerou obtained it. The central crystal she replaces it with, designed to take over the mind of its owner, was destroyed during her fight with Recca and was not a part of the original Fuujin. The Fujin has four smaller red jewels which carry a small furry creature it, the Kazedama. They can exist independently from the main orb. Fuujin is usually associated with Raijin the god of thunder. Raijin current weilder is Raiha of the Uruha Jushinshu.

Fuujin[2]- Small, white fuzzy creatures which live in the Fuujin. They are the true form of its 5 small gems, the Kaze no Kadama. They have powerful attacks, but can only be used once.

Fuujin Kamatachi- "Air Cutter". Like a blade of wind, allowing Fuuko to slice through things.

Fuyo Sword- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this attack with his Shikigami. He used it to put down his rebellious students--which later became referred to as his "slaughtering 1000 men". (No, it wasn't 1,000!) It is a sword made of paper, which doesn't get burned by Recca's flame, because it is protected by his aura.

Gedokugan - This is the madougu that comes in together with dokumashin. It contains the antitoxin for dokumashin.

Genjutso Wakemi- "Illusion Technique Offspring". This is not a madougu, but a technique perfected by Genjuro, and imitated by Kurei. The victim is confused by many images of the attacker. These illusions can actually fight.

Hikuu - Kazetsume when detached from Fuujin. Hikuu can listen to the orders of Fukko and being able to control air currents with Fuujin, Hikuu acts like flying claws and can attack the enemy from any direction. First used against Fujimaru, and is also called the Demon Claw.

Homura- Recca's third dragon, one whose flames are crooked, so that it can wind and attack, somehow like a whip, only much, much more powerful.

Houmashin- Magensha's madougu which looks like a giant grinder. It can send people to the Evil Dimension, or, when used with the Jigen Kaigyoku, it will melt their opponent.

Hyoumaen - This is a madougu that is a sister weapon to Ensui. It can convert moisture in the atmosphere to water (Homonhin) and then to ice. It is a weapon that can speak and loves sucking blood. It's rather a horrifying madougu. In addition, Kai can also use the ice sword as Tokiya so their attacks are quite similar. Another technique is (Hisame Freezing) which forms a layer of ice over the person's body to defend him. This is a technique created by Kai himself.

Hyomon Ken- Mikagami's fighting style with the Ensui. See Tsurara Mai, Water Snake and Zettai Reido.

Idaten- Miki, of the Uruha Oto, used the Idaten in her fight against Recca and Mikagami. The Idaten are two small green Elementals which, when placed on her boots, allows her to move like the wind.

Jigen Kaigyoku- Magensha's technique with the Houmashin which melts his opponents.

Jiger - Used by Magensha of Uruha Ma. This is a madougu that enable a person to easily travel through time and space, and allows the person to stay inside and be protected and hidden by this madougu. It is really powerful because the enemy will be unable to identify the location of the person. What is worse is that it can also act like a time warp and trap enemies inside the madougu. Once trapped, it is almost impossible for the enemy to escape.

Kaigetsu- used by Tsukeshiro, of Uruha Ma. It is a curved sword which can boomerang, and is similar to Mikazuki, the fourth form of Kaoru's Kougan Anki.

Kata Kugutsu -Ganko's madougu, which takes the shape of a small red ball. It allows her to animate inanimate objects, such as stuffed animals (Kondo the fox), and mannequins (Reiran). It can distract the attention of the enemies to attack the wrong target. It also allows her to manipulate real people by tying them up with invisible threads and then puppeting them like a marionette.

Kazedama- "Wind Ball". This is an attack used by the Kaze no Kadama. Very powerful.

Kaze no Kadama- The small gems within the Fuujin. They can act on their own. They can absorb all of the wind in an area and use it in an attack. Their true form is the Fuujin (See Fuujin[2]).

Kaze no Toma- The original central gem to the Fuujin, which is missing. Until this is reobtained, Fuuko does not have all the power of the Kaze no Kadama.

Kaze no Tsume- Allows Fuuko to slice through things. Like 3 white claws extending from her Fuujin.

Kiba - First form of the Kougan Anki. It is a large, curved sword with handgrips in its center.

Kodama- An madougu which creates plants internally and allows the master to control them. When this weapon gets implanted into Makoguren, of the Uruha Maboroshi, its powers are vastly increased. (It was implanted via Genjiro's Psychic Surgery.) Makoguren actually changes into plant-form after the implantation, and his powers are magnified, although he loses the ability to feel things when he becomes a plant.

Koku- The seventh Flame Dragon, who appears as an ecchi little old man with a scar over one eye. He steals Recca's six dragons before his fight with Kurei, and teaches him how to properly combine multiple dragons into one attack. He tends to appear in human form more frequently than the others, and seems to have some kind of friendship with Resshin.

Kotodama- This Elemental is a ball which creates illusions. Aki of the Uruha Oto uses it in her fight against Domon. It can realize your greatest fears or desires; or it can force a victim to be incredibly open to the power of suggestion. If the Master says "there's a snake", the victim sees a snake. If the illusionary snake bites the victim, and the Master says the victim feels pain, the victim will feel pain. The victim cannot hear any voice but the Master's, and his mind will force his body to hurt itself.

Kougan Anki- Kaoru, previously of the Uruha, and later of Team Hokage, possesses the Kougan Anki. Its first form is the Kiba. Its second form is Ryu. Its third form is Kyoku. Its fourth form is Mikazuki. Its fifth form is An. It later goes on to possess a sixth form, after the end of the Anime.

Kuchibashi- Minamio, of Team Ku, had a green marble-sized madougu which makes its master's body as soft as rubber.

Kuchibashi Oh- This madougu is won in a fight against Kuchibashimaru. It has huge blade tied to chain. Kuchibashi oh can improve Domon's physcial ability to attack.

Kurenai- Kurei's girlfriend, murdered by Mori Kouran. Kurei had her become his Flame. Before, it had the shape of a Phoenix.

Kuzetsu ShiChi Kousatsu- An attack made by using the Oni. It attacks all vital points at once, killing the opponent.

Kyoku- Kaoru's Kougan Anki's third form: scissors.

Madoka- The fifth of Recca's Flame Dragons to submit. He is the "king of the impenetrable barrier" and seems to be a relatively nice dragon, although he's just as arrogant as the others are. But he has a pleasant, kindly voice.

Magagumo- "Spider". This madogou provides offense and defense. It is disguised as armor when not in use for offense, but when used, it consists of eight strong tendrils which pursue and attack a victim.

Mikazuki- Kaoru's Kougan Anki's fourth form: a boomerang.

Mizu Kugutsu - In this stage of the Ensui, the steam can produce a false image so that Tokiya's real body will attack from elsewhere.

Morning Star- A 500 kg spiked ball on a retractable chain. Used by Gashakura.

Mugen- A green ball embedded in a staff which belongs to Genjuro, the leader of the Uruha Maboroshi. It will shrink people, and is destroyed during Meno's fight with Recca.

Nadare- The second of Recca's Flame Dragons to submit. She's used relatively often, and creates fireballs.

Ninpo Hell's Mirror- Kashimaru's attack with the Nisebi which can mimic other's attacks, but with real consequences.

Ninpo Skill of Temptation- By using his Nisebi, Kashamaru uses this technique to take the form of a person.

Ninpo Utsusemi- The ninja technique of substitution. Recca uses it frequently.

Nisebi- "False Flame". This madogou copies the talents of a true Flame Master. It is possessed by Kashmaru, who is such an adept at it, he can not only copy Flames, but other attacks (Ninpu Hell's Mirror) and people (Ninpo Skill of Temptation). Kashmaru says he can imitate anything.

Nuno Zurashin- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this attack with his Shiki Gami. A spiral of paper which repelled Nadare's attack. Saicho's aura protects the paper from being burned.

Oboro -Tsukeshiro, of Team Uruha Ma, has this Elemental. It is a sheet which makes its master invisible by not reflecting light. However, if the sheet becomes stained (ie, with blood), it will become ineffective.

Oni- Kukai, Team Ku's leader, has a beaded necklace which turns its master into an Oni until his victim is killed. It activates after the master has been hit 3 times. It is used to make the attack Kuzetsu ShiChi Kousatsu.

Onitsume - Fuuko obtained during a fightwith the three idiots. It is actually a set of claws which are extradordinarily sharp. While not in action, the madougu is in the form of a round stone.  When it is in action, it becomes a set of claws.

Prelude- Neon, of the Uruha Oto, uses the Fukyo Waon in this attack. Prelude is a focussed wave attack which slices.

Psychic Surgery- This is not an Elemental, but Genjuro uses this ability to implant them in others. It is surgery which has no need of cutting open anyone. His fingers penetrate into the subject's body. He can also fuse DNA this way. Shiju is a product of having fused the cells of a man with the cells of a lion.

Quartet- Neon, of the Uruha Oto, uses the Fukyo Waon in this attack. Quartet is the tag-team move using Miki's Yambiko. The attack is reflected off the mirror at a target.

Reiran- The mannequin with which Ganko fights against Team Hokage. It resembles her dead mother, and was animated via the Kata Kugutsu.

Requiem- Neon, of the Uruha Oto, uses the Fukyo Waon in this attack. Requiem is the Final Attack which can be used with the Fukyo Waon, as it unleashes all of the vast energy stored in it. It's an attack designed to kill the attacker, the victim, and just about anyone within the general vicinity.

Resshin- The eighth Flame Dragon. He is the spirit of Recca's and Kurei's biological father, and is neutral in the final fight between Kurei and Recca. While he lends his assistance to his sons when they fight against Mori Kouran's clone, he does not give his powers to either.

Rokka Sen- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this attack with his Shiki Gami. Sharp, pointy origami embed themselves in an opponent.

Rui- The 6th Flame Dragon, a Dragon of Illusion, who bestows her powers on those who answer her quiz. Then, she makes illusions which the Flame Master thinks up into reality.

Ryu- Kaoru's Kougan Anki's second form: a hook on a chain.

Saiha- Recca's first flame dragons. Saiha creates a blade which can cut through nearly anything.

Saturn's Ring- See Dosei

Setsuna- Recca's fourth flame dragon. This is the most cruel, fierce, bad-tempered, arrogant flame of all. Even while he was alive, he was rejected by Hokage. He has incredible speed and the flame will burn anyone who looks into his eyes. It's funny, when Recca saw Setsuna's name on his arm, he flapped it around saying, "I don't need you, you crazy dragon!" Genjuro attempted to steal him from Recca.

Shikigami- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this madougu. It allows its master control over paper. His aura protects it from being burned. He can do a variety of attacks and defenses with it, such as the Cyclone Paper Dance, Fuyo Sword, Rokka Sen, Nuno Zurashin, and Thousand Cranes.

Shikigami- This is Meno's madougu, of Team Uruha Maboroshi, which is implanted inside her. It controls hair. Although this is a lower-level Elemental, because it is implanted within her, its power is increased. Her hair can grow, or become as sharp as a knife, and can chase an enemy around. This is different from Saicho's Shiki Gami, which is pronounced the same, but has different kanji. Also, she fights because Genjuro has used his Mugen on her father.

Sleeping Medicine- Kashimaru coats his sword with it.

Taishaku- Used by Joker of Uruha Kurenai. This is a powerful weapon which uses the principle of changing mass. Within the attack realm of Takshaku, it can change the mass of any object. For instance, it can turn a piece of paper into a paper that weighs 1000 tons or it can turn a metal bell into as light as paper. So, it is a pretty complex weapon and it is huge.

Tekkou- Recca's arm band which keeps his Flame under control. His potential is vastly increased when it is removed.

Tetsu Gan- A madogou which changes its master's body to iron when swallowed.

Tendoujigoku - Used by "The Chosen One," and translated as "heaven and hell." This is the most powerful weapon which has ever been created in the history of the Hokage Clan. So far, the exact power of Tendoujigoku remains a mystery. All is known is that it has the ability to give eternal life to anyone. Unless you are the chosen master, you will find yourself rottening, feeling hungry, thirsty, and yet can never die. You are a walking corpse bearing the pain of living. It is because of this unique and yet horrifying power of Tendoujigoku that it is considered as the most dangerous weapon of all. Almost the whole second part of the story is based on this madougu. In order to save his mom, Recca and company has to destroy Tendoujigoku but the Evil Mori Kuran wants its power .

Thousand Cranes- Saicho, of Team Ku, uses this attack with his Shiki Gami. Misora, Kukai's daughter, made Saicho 1,000 origami paper cranes. They can fly of their own accord. Each has the power to blow off the arena's roof. Saicho planned on using this as his final attack, putting all of his life force into it, but it was defeated by an indirect attack by Nadare, who had lain buried in the ring after being deflected by the Nuno Zurashin.

Tsurara Mai- "Dancing Icicles". One of Mikagami's attacks with his Ensui. It uses underground water that turns into icicles, which attack the enemy through the floor. They rise into the air and use the humidity to form more icicles, which rain down. The cycle continues until the enemy is destroyed. Used to destroy Neon's Fukyo Waon.

Water Snake- This is to form water bubbles from the four corners of the world and then turn these water bubbles into a snake like wave that can attack the enemies.

Yambiko- A mirror which reflects anything, including soundwaves. Miki, of the Uruha Oto, uses it in conjunction with Neon's "Quartet" move, which uses the Fukyo Waon.

Zettai Reido- One of Mikagami's "Hymon Ken". Also kown as "Absolute Zero." Tokiya sticks the Ensui into the ground and it is to use ice to freeze whatever object. It is at 0�Kelvin so that any life activity will be stopped immediately.
