The Sword of Hisou (緋想の剣, romanized: Hisou no Ken, literal meaning: Sword of Scarlet Perceptions) is a celestial relic and one of Tenshi's weapons in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. It has the ability to exploit an opponent's weakness, no matter what. First, the sword converts the opponent's spiritual nature into scarlet mist, then into a form that everyone can see. Once the opponent's nature has surfaced, the sword can change itself to channel the most effective attributes to counter that nature.

The spiritual nature evoked by the sword takes the form of weather, which is why it somehow looks flexible. Also, spirits slashed by the sword become scarlet mist, then the mist changes the weather.

The shape-shifting properties of the sword mean that Tenshi can keep it anywhere on her body without taking up space. Additionally, it can be drawn from seemingly nowhere in battle, and is hard enough to channel the powerful strength of the celestials, allowing Tenshi to rupture or even cause earthquakes in the surrounding area. Tenshi can also channel the gathered scarlet energies of living beings through the sword, creating an immensely destructive scarlet beam that inflicts grievous injury to her opponents. 1HisounoKen.jpg
