Etymology[]
The buckle is unnamed by characters in the manga and anime. It is named and described in only in the DVD booklets.
Description[]
Locking device used to secure spaulders on shoulders and the sword carrier on the spine between the cervical and thoracic.
No two buckles are alike.[3][4][5][6] Buckle design varies as much as hairstyle.
During the Initial Male Era, buckles take the form of simple bands.[7] Later during the Old Generation and afterward, the designs become more intricate. They take the form of flowers, ribbon bows, butterflies and complex geometric shapes.
