Now that I'm thinking about it, it kinda does.

@Doctor

Well then, I suppose this makes the Thousand Hands' existence a borderline cosmic sin, then. The Thousand Hands is classified as an artifact, but also a piece of armor for it fills the left arm of the wielder up to the elbow in the blackest of shade, back enough to offer no reflection from any natural light, cementing it as an unnatural artifact.

These are relics of the far past, the monument to the wielders' descent to the monsters they once fought. The amalgamation of everything they once stood against now becoming them. It is a cursed item that clings to those who have forsaken their humanity, becoming the personification of unending resentment for those they view to have wrong them, now or before...for those unfortunate enough to be killed by someone wearing a Thousand Hands has their soul shackled to the judgement of the wielder.

The Thousand Hands is literally a gate to the the depth of hell reserved for the worse of sinners. With it, anyone they kill, their souls, they drag straight to hell, making sure that their afterlife is spent in unending agony, the worse given to those residing in these incomprehensible realms.

When the Man Who Hides In Another's Shadow threatened his old unwilling puppet to drag him in the bowels of hell itself, it was no metaphor. It was no ambient threat to some unseen torture. It was a promise. A very real promise that he is blindingly waiting to inflict.

Him and the wolf that walks by his side. A promise he has inflicted on incomprehensible numbers of monsters that he killed, in the past and in today's era. The Thousand Hands is a condemnation wielded by the worst of grudge-bearers who still view the mamono of today as nothing more than animals on borrowed time...
