Yaorochi was very cold and distant to their younger siblings, even escalated to violence on one occasion. Yaorochi looked for centuries for the lost Tasouken and was very disappointed when they found that it was all old and rusted. They were so disappointed and heartbroken that they isolated themselves for years. One day, they saw a clay sword that greatly resembled the Tasouken. They tell the creator of the clay sword, which is actually Sukune, into giving it to Yaorochi such that they could transfer the essence of the Tasouken into it. They also had Sukune build a ritual site at which the ceremony would take place. Preparations complete, Yaorochi pulled the sword out from storage and thrust the sword along with the clay sword into the ground, beginning the ritual. As they began the power transference, the rusted sword crumbled into dust in an instant. As the ceremony was completed, the clay sword's exterior crumbled away to reveal a magnificent metal blade within, the Tasouken was reborn (just with an extra addition of a bottle opener at the handle). Also, after this, Sukune became friends with Yaorochi.] [Info about Mugenri, and it's current state: Mugenri is a forgotten fantasy Japanese-like land that is sealed away from the Outside World by the Mugenri Barrier.
