==Appearance==
The Mint Decavitator is an oversized toothbrush contained within a large plastic sheath with a hinged cap at its tip and a wordmark on the outside. The toothbrush bristles are blue and are adorned with a blob of striped toothpaste (alternating stripes of white and the wielder's ink color). When performing uncharged slashes, the toothbrush remains inside the sheath, but during a charged slash the wielder will draw the toothbrush to perform an ''[[wp:Iaido|iaidō]]''-style slash before re-sheathing it.

"Mint" references the color (and presumably flavor) of the toothpaste inside the weapon. "Decavitator" comes from "de-" + "cavity", as toothbrushes are used to prevent tooth cavities. It also sounds like "Decapitator", which may be an intentional reference to decapitation, which is the act of cutting off a person's head; this would be apt given that the Decavitator is modeled after a sword, though it could be coincidental.
