Jinki No. 3
There are 8 mysterious artifacts (named Jinki (神器, literally means "God Vessel") and numbered from #1 to #8) which each was on one of the 8 Sekirei spaceships[1]. Miya described them as items originating from the age of gods, for their possession Ashikabi and Sekirei incessantly have fought over in blood and sorrow[2]. She also mentions them as items with the power to control the life and death of Sekirei, items which can change an Ashikabi's destiny and as items of a very small glimmer of hope.[3] If all eight of them will be gathered together, it will be possible to terminate all Sekirei[4] because then you are able to connect directly to the Tama/Sekirei core enabling an Ashikabi to turn the Tama on and off as he desires[5]. But because the Sekirei mated with their Ashikabi and passed on the Tama, the Jinki can also be used to affect their descendants, causing a human mass genocide[6]. The current generation of Sekirei were altered by MBI to reduce their strength by placing limiters within them, the Jinki have the power to remove these limiters. But not only reduce this limiters a Sekirei's strength, they also weaken the dominant personality characteristic, consequently for example violent Sekirei will become more violent if the limiter will be removed[3]
The Jinki can be used to link to the Tama and thus have an effect on both, Ashikabi and Sekirei. There were various occasions when they recalled memories of the past caused by the Jinki. The most notable ones were when Minato recalled memories of Musubi/Yume[4] and when Tsukiumi saw Miya telling her to get strong when she still was a kid[7]. Yume explained once that the vision Minato had were memories carved into his genes[4].
The Jinki are now used by Minaka Hiroto as prize for the Sekirei Plan matches of the third stage. Minaka is aware of the dangers the Jinki possess, he is willing to take the risk. He also states that "originally the rightful owner of the Jinki would have been there as well" meaning someone from the Izumo Inn[7] referring to Miya. Minaka has also called the Jinki as "a weapon of gods" and claims that if all of them are gathered "the age of the gods will be restored to this world"[8]. During the third stage Minaka Hiroto announced that the number of Jinki an Ashikabi possesses equals the chances he has in the later stages of the Sekirei Plan[9].
