“Unleash the might of weapons empowered by the moon. Keep your foes at a distance until the time comes to deliver the final blow.” Might makes right. To impose order, to bend the world to your will – these are the marks of a true leader. Only a true leader has the strength of will and the force of arms to make his enemies bow before him. Only a true leader deserves the respect and adulation of his followers. These are the guiding principles of Tsukuyomi's existence. Proud, but violent, he is the God of the Moon and the Night. Wielding his twin tonfa, Shingetsu and Mangetsu, he overcomes his enemies with effortless skill and a mocking laugh, forcing them to bow before him – for what good is victory without an audience to see it? He is the opposite in every way of his sibling, Amaterasu. Where she is light, he is dark. Where she is kind, he is cruel. But in his cruelty there is purpose. A true leader cannot show weakness, cannot brook insult – even one unintentionally given. Such was the reason that Tsukuyomi struck off the head of the goddess of plenty, Uke Mochi. For her manner offended him, and offense must be answered as swiftly and surely as possible, lest weakness be revealed. Order must be maintained, whatever the cost. Amaterasu did not understand.
