History

Ultraman Tiga Gaiden: Revival of the Ancient Giant

Seen in the beginning, Mahoroba, the passing-through monster slayer had killed Kurayaminoorochi with a single slash. Later, she took the legendary blade, Yaminaginotsurugi (ヤミナギノツルギ, Yaminaginotsurugi ) which was believed to be inside the monster all along that would be given to anyone whom killed the beast. At the same time, she also discovered the Bronze Spark Lens that was among the rubble.
