Firefly Blade is an Odachi in Nioh 3. The Odachi is a long blade with a slight curve used to deal damage to Enemies and Bosses. The Odachi is a Samurai-style weapon, and can only be used when the Samurai fighting style is active. All Weapons in Nioh 3 also come with their own Skill Tree, which can provide Martial Arts for Samurai and Ninjutsu (Ninja Skills) for Ninja.

An odachi known as Hotarumaru in Japanese, forged by the famed swordsmith Kunitoshi of the Rai style in Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto prefecture). This sword was worn by Aso Korezumi, a general of Higo Province (present-day Kumamoto prefecture). Although the odds were stacked against him, Korezumi fought valiantly against Ashikaga Takauji at Tatarahama, but countless nicks in his blade forced him to retreat. It is said that upon returning home and resting the sword against the wall before falling into a deep slumber, Korezumi dreamt of fireflies gathering around the blade. After waking, he discovered the blade had been restored to its former glory. It was eventually enshrined as a treasure in Aso Shrine.
