13 Month Series

The 13 Month Series consists of 12 sentient weapons and an Arms Inventory made by a craftsmaster, Ashul Edwaru. They are bestowed by the King Zahard to a formal Princess. This Series has great importance and a member of the RED called Lo Po Bia Ren was sent to retrieve the Black March and Green April when they appeared on the 2nd Floor.

The 12 sentient weapons vary in shape and function, for instance, one is a Needle, another a Hook, and the Rainbow Undecimber is actually an Arms Inventory rather than a weapon. The only S-Rank weapon among the 13 Month Series is the Gold November.

The 12 sentient weapons are like half-beings and have human forms sealed within. When Ignited by the user, these forms will be unsealed and unleash the extreme powers of the weapon.

Only a formal Princess can ignite a 13 Month Series, though there're exceptions like Anak Zahard or Baam(Ch 65). And this restriction might be related to the qualities of the Princess possesses or some other factor.

And in addition, the weapon may not Ignite for any user as it depends on their personality. For example: the Black March will only activate for "Good Looking" men and it won't listen to anyone else. And it doesn't matter how skilled the Princess is, she cannot force a 13 Month Series to Ignite (for example Yuri Zahard being ranked roughly 500th was and so far still is unable to Ignite the Black March).

It's unknown what special attributes the Rainbow Undecimber possesses.

Finally, when weapons of the 13 Month Series meet, they will resonate(Ch 19) but it is unclear if the same condition applies to the Rainbow Undecimber.

Receiving a 13 Month Series
Only a formal Princess can be chosen to receive a 13 Month Series(Ch 32), provided she accepts it. And all formal Princesses are Rankers(Ch 32).

Rules binding a formal Princess
When a formal Princess accepts one of the Series, she automatically takes part in a set of rules.


 * 1) She may not give or even lend a 13 Month Series to another person or she will be executed by the King(Ch 2). And it is likely some or most of the people accompanying the Princess will be executed too, for failing to prevent the 13 Month Series from leaving her hands.
 * 2) And it is also unknown what punishment is meted by the King, when a Princess goes missing with a 13 Month Series.
 * 3) It is possible a Princess may challenge or even kill another Princess for her 13 Month Series but this is currently unconfirmed. Although, it's true the Ha Family is hoping Yuri Zahard will collect all of the 13 Month Series so there may be some truth to this.

Note: Heice Zahard, upon becoming a Ranker, was presented with a 13 Month Weapon but she turned it down for reasons unknown.

Notes and Trivia
The 13 Month Series all have their names engraved on them. The engraving is in Japanese, because their creator Ashul Edwaru uses a language based on Japanese. SIU has (in his blog) made it clear there is no significance behind this, and that the use of other languages also will occur. It's possible the 13 Month Series may be based on the Japanese Kiku-ichimonji swords, which follows a similar theme of one sword for each 13 months, including one intercalary month. However, it's also possible there might be no relation to these Japanese swords.
