The inventory screen, translated.

You will collect items throughout the game that will help you in your quest. Some items can only be purchased in shops in exchange for gold, while other items can be collected during gameplay. Of the items which can be collected, some items are deposited in predetermined positions, while others are obtained by defeating enemies. Items are broken down into three major categories: Attack items, Defense items, and miscellaneous. While some Attack items and Defense items can only be used one time, most can be used indefinitely. Only one Attack item and one Defense item can be active at any time. Pause the game and use the A button and B button buttons to cycle through your available Attack and Defense items.

Attack items[edit]

Defense Drum Rock Sword Devilish Top
Getsu Fuuma Den item defense drum.png
"Mamori Taiko"- providence drum. Instead of swinging a sword, you will beat this mystical drum which produces a 力 symbol, a symbol meaning force. The power is fixed at 10, regardless of your sword strength. It is useful early on when your sword is still weak, but once you gain strength, it's usefulness diminishes.
Getsu Fuuma Den item rock sword.png
"Iwa no Ken"- rock sword. The paths through some stages have obstacles that you can't jump over. Instead, you will need a weapon capable of cutting through them. You can use the Rock Sword to cut a path through these walls and reach your destination on the other side. This weapon has the same power as your sword strength.
Getsu Fuuma Den item deveilsh top.png
"Mashura no Koma"- top of devilishness. By activating this weapon, you become a living weapon whenever you jump through the air. Each time you leap, you will somersault and attack any enemy that gets close to you.
Shuriken Curse Dynamite Curse Clothes

"Shuriken"- litrally hand out-of-sight blade. A simple but useful weapon, you will throw out three throwing stars with each attack while you activate the Shuriken.
Getsu Fuuma Den item curse dynamite.png
"Noroi no Bakuraku"- explosive spell. A spell of enchantment has been cast on these explosives to help you rid the under world of demons. Each time you throw them, the dynamite lands on the ground and rolls forward a bit before exploding. The power is fixed at 16, regardless of your sword strength.
Getsu Fuuma Den item curse clothes.png
"Noroi no Koromo"- coating spell. Donning these clothes does not put a curse on you. Rather, it makes you invincible to your enemies, allowing you to charge right through them. It last for about four seconds, and it will disappear after you use it, so you will have to by another one to replace it.
Wave Motion Sword
Getsu Fuuma Den item hadouken.png
"Hadou Ken"- wave sword. This is the ultimate weapon. You can only activate this weapon once you have retrieved all of the stolen Hadouken swords. It shoots three giant waves able to break walls like the rock sword. The power is fixed at 64, same as the maximum sword strength. (The ken in Hadouken means sword, unlike in Street Fighter II where it means fist.)

"Jumon no Aotama"- sapphire charm. Similar to the Red Charm, the Blue Charm is used to instantly eliminate any enemies that happen to be on the screen in the side scrolling portions of the game. It can only be used once, and it does not work well against bosses (except for a glitch).
