Hey. Hey hey hey hey hey.
I've already been making that joke. Don't steal my thunder.

I wonder why Souji needed her NP before she used triple stab.
Like felt like she needed for stats to get behind Musashi? Or like is it a requirement?
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
To Look cooler
Well the outfit gives an overall boost to stats right? So I guess she needed it not to keel over using her special move, she was near dying when it was over, and getting slapped in the face by Not-Nobu didn't help I'm sure.

Thats just the sideffect of Tuberculosis.
I don't think her combat outfit changes the effects there.
... I think you misunderstood. I know the whole spewing blood is from the TB, it's part of her Weak Constitution skill thing. But if the Shinsengumi uniform raises all her stats, including endurance, it stands to reason it would lessen the strain on her from the TB while performing a move that breaks causality. So while she might not 'need' to invoke her uniform to use the move, it might help her do it without completely keeling over afterwards.
It's also possible that maybe she needed the boost in stats to bring down Nagayoshi, cause he took a spear to the skull before from a guy called 'God Spear' and still didn't frickin' die.

Since everyone has been calling Okita's Noble Phantasm a Tsubame Gaeshi rip-off, I should note that ironically Okita actually has more real-life mythological claim to the Multi-Dimensional Refraction Phenomenon concept than Kojirou.
From Wikipedia:
Okita really did have it in his legend the ability to hit three body parts simultaneously with one thrust attack. In contrast, traditionally Tsubame Gaeshi is thought to be conceptually more like a realistic Gae Bolg, where the blade is changes direction rapidly midair to follow the swiftly dodging swallow target, which is why it means "Turning Swallow Cut".His signature technique was named the Mumyo-ken [7] (which roughly translates as "no light blade" or "unenlightened blade") or Sandanzuki (which translates as "Three Piece Thrust"), a technique that could attack one's neck, left shoulder, and right shoulder with one strike. (the Mumyo-ken supposedly could hit all three points simultaneously, but this is an embellishment.)

Nah, in popular folk lore and legend, Tsubame Gaeshi is like multiple strikes at god-like speed so one can romanticize Musashi even more, whereas in reality it is believed to be a changing-direction attack. Just like, in popular folk lore and legend, Sandanzuki has the embellished multiple strikes at god-like speed to romanticize the sad fujoshi dream of this genius sword boy that died too young, but in reality was probably just three quick strikes.
Watch as Trust and Betrayal even shows how potentially slow it could be!

Indeed, of course it's an embellishment, but the Fate universe runs on power of beliefs and legends. My point was that Okita actually had the three simultaneous strike as part of his legend. In contrast, Tsubame Gaeshi has godlike-speed, but it's very name implies it's not about being simultaneous, but rather lightning fast turning of the blade to slash in a reversed direction ("swift cuts downward and then immediately upwards. Hence, the "Turning Swallow Cut" has been reconstructed as a technique involving striking downward from above and then instantly striking again in an upward motion from below. The strike's second phase could be from below toward the rear and then upward at an angle, like an eagle climbing again after swooping down on its prey. Sasaki created this technique around 1605.") to follow the target.
So Kojirou's technique sounds potentially faster, but at least in real life the legend of the technique is about turning/reversing the blade, and thus has a name that translates to "Turning Swallow Cut" or "Swallow Reversal/Return". Hence it's by definition not supposed to be simultaneous.

To anyone who suffered reading my terrible English post:
Theres an army of Musashis now?
Isn't it just the armor thing.
I mean, i don't read moon, but didn't the Nazis(?) use Shinji's hand to fuel those armours?
That's what i'm getting at least
Assassin-Saber Izo, damn it sounds awesome.
real Ryouma is Rider huh, his NP must be a Ship.
^
Caren was looking for Hands of Glory, not Nazi.

Nah Mori just cut that off because Shinji was trying to make him kill himself with a CS.
The hand Caren brings up is the Hand of Glory, it's what she's after (it's sealing designated?)
Ryoma NP should be Capitalism
- - - Updated - - -
So whats that ominious panel about Shinji's lost hand(?) about?
People need to stop putting Command Seals on a place that's so easy to cut off. Sajyou sisters had the right idea having it on their chests.
So who are the woman and man who fought against Izo?
