Four Holy Swords

The Four Holy Swords (四聖剣, Shisei-ken), an elite unit consisting of four of his most devoted followers are soldiers who serve Tohdoh. Initially, they are a part of The JLF, but once Kyoshiro Tohdoh is freed from execution, they join the Black Knights. The Four Holy Swords were an elite unit in the JLF and they piloted their more advanced frames, and were used as an "Ace in the Hole" against Britannian forces. They are highly skilled in piloting knightmares which allowed each member to become captain of a squad in the Black Knights. Initially, they use the Burai Kai before switching to the new Gekka models in order to save Tohdoh from his execution. In the second season, they finally switch to the Akatsuki Command Model Zikisan. A signature move for the Four Holy Swords was called the Spinning-Life or Death Formation which is a synchronized four way attack. Throughout the course of the series, Urabe, Senba and Asahina die. By the end of the series, only Chiba and Toudou survives.
