| - The Mugenjin ( lit. Unlimited Blade ) is a sword belonging to Hoshin Seikijinshuu and is used while performing any of his Entoryu techniques. The sword is specially made to compensate for Hoshin's inability to use elemental manipulation. The blade of the Mugenjin is coated in oil and combustible materials, and with a bit of friction ( such as flicking a fingernail over it ) catches on fire, allowing it to burn and slash an opponent at the same time. Even without its burning capability, the Mugenjin is a deadly blade, possessing a serrated edge that tears more skin, and is sharp enough to slice through thick wood with little effort.
- The Mugenjin (無限刃, "Unlimited Blade") is the personal sword of the former Isshin Shishi hitokiri Shishio Makoto, and the last killing sword forged by the swordsmith Arai Shakku. This makes it the direct predecessor, and "brother" of the two Sakabato wielded by Himura Kenshin during his years as a wanderer. In Shin Kyoto Hen, the sword finds its way jammed into Kenshin's right shoulder, and extracted by Arai Seikū to be the new holy sword of the Hakusan Shrine.

| - The Mugenjin (無限刃, "Unlimited Blade") is the personal sword of the former Isshin Shishi hitokiri Shishio Makoto, and the last killing sword forged by the swordsmith Arai Shakku. This makes it the direct predecessor, and "brother" of the two Sakabato wielded by Himura Kenshin during his years as a wanderer. It has several unique properties to allow it to kill without losing its edge or otherwise stagnating. Its self-sharpening edge is berthed to it by having a sizable portion of the blade chipped away in a regular, serrated pattern, which allows it to lose none of its feel regardless of the number of men it slays. In addition, while most swords would rust and dull from continued exposure to human blood and oils, the Mugenjin appears to suffer none of these consequences, and instead the fat it has absorbed during the many years it was used allowed it to ignite itself and catch fire when friction was applied. This gave Shishio the ability to use fire-oriented techniques such as the Homura Dama and Kaguzuchi, as well as use gunpowder to incapacitate his enemies at point-blank by lighting his gloves on fire. As with Shakku's later blades, it is extremely durable despite its thinness, being able to withstand a direct hit from the first strike of the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki when Shishio blocked it. However, it is not indestructible, as when its owner finally spontaneously combusted, it burned away with him. In Shin Kyoto Hen, the sword finds its way jammed into Kenshin's right shoulder, and extracted by Arai Seikū to be the new holy sword of the Hakusan Shrine.
