📋 About This Mod
If you use liftedcloud's Sheath Mod that let you (un)sheath anywhere, it's hard for you to ignore how stupid the katana sheathed jogging animation looks and how disturbing the fact that you can't run with katana sheathed is. If you don't use that mod, go use it, it ain't cool holding the Katana all the time, when you're not fighting or when you're facing a friend.https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/502
Why is the right arm not waving? Some may ask.
First, take a look at how sekiro run, he leans his body quite ahead, which makes waving hands easy to break the balance and fall.
Second, that's how Shinobi runs. Reference: Naruto.
Thank foxyhooligans and Rhubens for giving me informations about dsanimestudio, wouldn't have made this little tweak without their help.
And thank Meowmaritus for making dsanimstudio, amazing utility.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 205 endorsements and over 6k downloads
- Fixes a specific animation annoyance for katana users
- Simple and focused—does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects katana sheathed state, not other weapons
- Last updated in 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod manually by dropping the files into your Data folder—it's that simple.
- Make sure you have the katana equipped and sheathed to see the effect; it won't change running with other weapons.
- Since the mod is from 2022, test it in-game after installing to ensure it works with your current Skyrim version.
