The Seven-Branched Sword is a real-life artifact, and hence any resemblances to the Moonlight Greatsword are coincidence. Miyazaki himself has called out this misconception.

Given that most shinobi arts seem to be reactionary, built to counter something specific, and the fact that every other thrust attack in the game can be avoided pretty well in some capacity, it makes sense that shinobi would create some kind of technique specifically to counter other shinobi. In addition, Owl is the only boss that has a counter to shadowrush, and it is very easily countered by Wolf in return. The Mikiri seems to be intended to counter other shinobi.

More evidence that supports this is the fact that the Demon of Hatred largely utilizes fire, and has an arm made out of flames as the Sculptor lacked an arm, while the stuff is rolling off of the body of the Watchdog, and its legs start flaming when they are broken by the Hunter]].

[[WMG: Levels where Sekiro returns to events from his memories, such as the Hirata Estate, isn't simply a {{Flashback}}, but literally TimeTravel.]]
The narrative may frame locations like the Hirata Estate as Sekiro re-living a past event/memory, yet what's actually happening is he's physically returned to that point in time. It's possible players may be able to change the past during these levels, such as ensuring an [=NPC=] survives into the present.

Given the presence of the "Dragonrot" affliction and how it affects {{Non Player Character}}s, if too many of them die from Dragonrot, it will determine whether a particular ending has been triggered or not, as [=NPCs=] from prior Creator/FromSoftware video games surviving or not until the end of a play-through influenced such endings (such as ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'').
[[WMG: One of the endings will force Sekiro to kill his master.]]
To keep preventing the Ashina Clan and other rival families from obtaining The Young Lord's "Dragon Blood", Sekiro will be forced to kill his liege - a DownerEnding; it may also be affected as a result of Dragonrot infecting [=NPCs=], including The Young Lord. With his master dead, Sekiro will commit {{Seppuku}}.
[[WMG: There will be references to the "[[MythologyGag Moonlight]] [[CoolSword Sword]]".]]
Per usual, the Moonlight Sword from past Creator/FromSoftware titles will make an appearance in some capacity:
* As a new ''katana'' for Sekiro to use.
* One of Sekiro's techniques on the SkillTree allows him to unleash a "[[SwordBeam moonlight wave]]".
* An enemy wields a {{BFS}} reminiscent of the Moonlight Greatsword from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', particular a boss.
* No explicit weapon exists, but is mentioned by [=NPCs=] and/or enemy {{Mook}}s from eavesdropping conversations.
[[WMG: Other tools present for Sekiro's "[[ArtificialLimbs Shinobi Prosthetic]]" in the game, aside from the ones seen in previews.]]
* A "[[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Hidden]] {{Blade|BelowTheShoulder}}"
* An ArmCannon or {{Automatic Crossbow}}s, so the references to [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]] becomes more apt
* A PowerFist
[[WMG: There will be an {{Expy}} of Patches.]]
He'll still remain as a merchant like his ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' counterparts, after attempting to trick Sekiro into a trap (his own or the enemy's) and confronting him.
