Saishi (sometimes nicknamed Saddi) is arguably one of the best swords in the 
Second Sea - fast, very generous with damage, with moves that have low endlag and the rare ability to stun even 
Blade users. It is one of three legendary swords sold by the 
Legendary Sword Dealer, infused with gold.
How to get it
For sale for 2,000,000 Beli from the Legendary Sword Dealer (Second Sea). This NPC appears only rarely and offers just one of the three legendary swords at each spawn (Saishi, 
Shizu, or 
Oroshi) - watch for its appearances until it sells Saishi.

Strengths and weaknesses
- Very high damage and great combo potential
- Fast moves with low endlag and very good cooldowns
- The [Z] grabs the target even if they have
Instinct - Stuns Blade users (trait shared with
Rengoku only) - Fast M1, good for raids and grinding - all moves hit
Sea Beasts - Long range, good AoE and fast mobility
- Stuns Blade users but cannot damage them
- Dash on the fourth hit - farming is a bit less comfortable
- Both moves are dodged by Instinct (neither breaks it)
- Demanding mastery before the
Third Sea (300 for [X]) - 2M Beli and random dealer spawns - frustrating to obtain
Our take
If the Legendary Sword Dealer offers Saishi, grab it - it's one of the best sword investments in the Second Sea. Fast, very strong in damage and anti-Blade, it will serve you well right up to the doors of the Third Sea.
