Paraphernalia[]
- Snow Leopard Kimono- Haruda's main outfit which is made from a demonic Snow Leopards pelt. The fur is thick and laced in multiple layers which makes it quite hard to cut into. The inside is lined with a blue velvet that can repulse the large amount of Yoki Haruda gives when in rage mode. This stops the kimono from ripping up into shreds.
- Iron Whistle- An iron whistle that links Haruda and the Baku. It releases a special frequency that only the Baku can hear. Something unqiue to note is that when blown, the spirit of Haruda's father inside Toumyo reacts to it.
- Hell Pills- Special pills given to Haruda by a dragon elder that let him willingly enter Rage Mode. As Rage Mode takes a toll on his body, he only uses these as a final resort. The reason they are called Hell pills is because they have a dark red color to them. They are also said to be quite spicy.
