1st Shift/Armaments & Abilities[]
Just like with the Silent Zephyrs , the Kurokishi boasts superior agility and has 6 drone/shield bits in compairison to its predecessor.
Perhaps the most noticeable addition to the Black Knight's armaments is the addition of a large two-handed energy sword, Buster Sword which allows Madoka to engage in close-quarters combat. It is a devastating weapon that cut down an abundance of military IS units prior to her defeat at the hands of Ichika Orimura.
The Kurokishi's original Star Breaker also appears to have been modified, It was now named Lancer Bit, a two jousting pole-like hip-mounted cannons with extremely high energy output.
- Buster Sword "Fenrir Blow": A purple-colored energy two-handed sword exclusive to the unit.
- Lancer Bit(modified Starbreaker Rifle) : Two jousting pole-like hip-mounted cannons.
- 6x Drone/Shield Bit: Mounted on Kurokishi which fires lasers or projects energy shields. Madoka has master level control over it.
- Arm Gatling: A machine gun mounted in Kurokishi left arm.

Trivia[]
- The Kurokishi is another reference to Madoka's relation to Ichika and Chifuyu as the White Knight was the name of the unit Chifuyu used when the IS was first unveiled and the core of the White Knight is the same as the of the Byakushiki.
- Oddly enough, despite the fact that the unit is relatively new, Chifuyu Orimura immediately identifies it as "The Kurokishi" when she sees it for the first time. Perhaps this realization was triggered by the fact that the unit greatly resembles the original White Knight.
- From full-body perspective, it seems to resemble a butterfly.
- Helmet seems to resemble the monsoon's from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
