Evidence: 4 community-reported · Last verified: 2026-11-14 · Sources: 1
The EI sword in Akayuki is described as having a very long dash, which makes it difficult to use for the bamboo parkour course. If you are struggling to land on the bamboo, the available community guide recommends changing your equipment rather than repeatedly attempting the course with the same dash.
What to Know Before Using It
“EI sword” is the name used in the supplied community transcript; its exact in-game spelling is not established. The documented advice concerns its performance during bamboo parkour, not its damage, combat effectiveness, or overall value.
The main limitation is its dash length. The guide creator reports trying the course with the EI sword repeatedly and finding its long dash very difficult to use for the required jumps. This is a situational drawback: the evidence supports caution on this course, not a general recommendation to avoid the weapon.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Identify whether the dash is making your jumps harder
The demonstrated parkour involves dashing, jumping, and landing on bamboo. If you are attempting it with the EI sword, keep its unusually long dash in mind when judging why a landing is difficult. The creator specifically identifies the EI dash as a problem after repeated attempts. [src-356d0a0244]
The excerpt does not provide exact dash distances, jump timings, or a complete sequence of bamboo platforms. It therefore cannot support a precise EI-sword route through the course.
2. Switch to Tachi if you are following the demonstrated approach
Instead of continuing with the EI sword, the creator switches to Tachi, explaining that it has more poise recovery. This is the alternative equipment choice shown in the guide for continuing the climb. [src-356d0a0244]
Treat this as a practical recommendation for the bamboo course rather than a claim that Tachi is better in every situation. The source provides no numerical comparison of either weapon’s dash distance or poise recovery.
3. Consider unequipping your sword for jumping
The creator also advises unequipping your sword to make jumping consume much less poise. If jumping costs are another obstacle during your attempts, this is a separate adjustment the guide suggests. [src-356d0a0244]
The excerpt does not specify the amount saved or establish exactly when to equip or unequip a weapon between individual jumps. Use the advice as an equipment option, not as a documented platform-by-platform sequence.
4. Continue toward the top of the bamboo
After discussing the equipment changes, the creator continues upward and reaches the top of the bamboo. The excerpt supports that destination, but it does not describe enough of the route to reproduce every movement reliably. [src-356d0a0244]
If you need exact platform locations or jump inputs, those details are not established by the supplied material.
Tips for Bamboo Parkour
- Reconsider your equipment after repeated failures. The creator’s response to difficulty with the EI sword is to switch weapons, rather than demonstrate a special technique that makes its long dash easier to control. [src-356d0a0244]
- Distinguish dash length from poise management. The EI sword’s long dash is the reported movement problem; Tachi’s poise recovery and unequipping a sword are the guide’s suggested equipment adjustments. [src-356d0a0244]
- Do not assume the course requires the EI sword. The demonstrated attempt proceeds with a different weapon after the creator struggles with EI. [src-356d0a0244]
Reward Context and Limits
The footage comes from a guide about obtaining the Shoots and Leaves skin. After reaching the top, the creator shows the skin and describes its appearance as green and jade-like. This provides context for the parkour advice; it does not establish that the EI sword itself is a reward from the course. [src-356d0a0244]
The creator also mentions receiving 250 on repeat visits after obtaining the skin, but is unsure whether this occurs every time or every other time. The excerpt does not identify what that amount represents, so it should not be treated as a confirmed payout or reliable farming method. [src-356d0a0244]
The supplied evidence does not explain how to obtain the EI sword or provide its stats. Its clearest supported use advice is narrow: for bamboo parkour, its very long dash can be difficult to manage, and the demonstrated alternative is to switch equipment.
