Developed off the same base as the Akatsuki, the Zangetsu (meaning "slashing moon") is an elite model knightmare frame designed specifically for Black Knights Shogun Kyoshiro Tohdoh. It boasts incredible performance as per Tohdoh's exacting specifications, which stipulated that it be able to fight Suzaku Kururugi's Z-01 Lancelot on equal terms. The Zangetsu's primary weapon is the Seidotou, the special chain-sword wielded by Tohdoh's previous customized Type-3F Gekka, and is supplemented by a slash harken and a pair of retractable machine cannon. For defensive purposes, the Zangetsu features not only the same radiation barrier as the Akatsuki Jikisan Type, but has the rather unusual capacity to use the hair-like ornamentation on its head as a shield as well. Tohdoh proves the effectiveness of his machine and his skills when he does indeed stand toe-to-toe with his former student Suzaku during the Black Knights' battles in the Chinese Federation.
