It seems that the inherited Bubuki (Oubu's limbs) change shape to fit the
tastes of the user. It is evident in Kogane's bubuki, it has a flower pattern
matching her hairpins.

Is there any reference that this is indeed so?

Does the kid's inherited bubuki changed shapes to fit their owner's tastes?


The answer really depends on how the Bubuki works. As far as I have seen, they
seem to be a kind of creature that has a core in the form of an eyeball that
has additional armour attached to them. Thus, as long as the core is not
broken, they can regenerate. Thus, it would seem that with a core, the
additional armour becomes the weapon they desire.

As for whether the shape is altered by the user, this is relatively easy to
answer for other people, but not for Kogane's Bubuki. As seen in the below
picture, the Four Heavenly Kings used other Bubuki cores to make new Bubuki
exactly in the form of their old Bubuki. From the Four Heavenly Kings'
example, they clearly had to be in contact with the cores to manufacture the
Bubuki or Matobai could have just made it for them instead of bringing the
cores to them for them to do it themselves. Thus, we can infer that in order
for a Bubuki to be altered, contact need to to made.

As for whether Kogane's Bubuki changed shape, it is most likely a **no**. In
the following picture, we see Kogane's first interaction with her Bubuki, it
already has the flower pins attached. She had not contacted the Bubuki prior
to that incident. Thus, it is unlikely that the Bubuki had been altered prior
to her inheriting it.

More proof would be Hiiragi's Iwatooshi, where we see it sealed here in the
box where he finds it. It already had the shape of a spear he used in the
future, thus he had inherited it as it is without much alteration.
