 * The reason why Midare is dressed differently compared to his brothers is because of his unique style. Yoshimitsu is known for forging tantous with suguha hamon(直刃), a straight style hamon, while Midare is the only one in-game with midare hamon(乱れ), an irregular wave. The hamon is the crystalline pattern of the hardened cutting edge of the blade, it is a key point for artistic appreciation of Japanese swords.
