Yeah, if it's jutsu related or coated by chakra. both of which totsuka is not. i think the blade requires chakra to activate (susanoo) but the sword itself is not. similar to orochimaru's living corpse reincarnation jutsu and six path sealing pot. both of which is similar to totsuka since all 3 involves shifting souls to it's new location.
