The Sacred Blacksmith (Seiken no Blacksmith) is a series of Light Novels written by Isao Miura and illustrated by Luna, which was published from 2007 to 2013 for a total of 16 volumes. A manga adaptation was serialized in Monthly Comic Alive from 2009 to 2017, and a 12-episode anime adaptation by Manglobe aired from October to December of 2009.Cecily Cambell, a Knight Guard of the Independent Trade Cities of Housman, is new to her job of keeping the peace in the Heroic Fantasy world she inhabits. She soon meets Luke Ainsworth, an exceptionally skilled blacksmith who is the only one who can make katanas, along with his overly cute Elfish apprentice Lisa. Circumstances soon conspire to reveal Luke has a very unusual and magical way of forging swords; a talent desired by the nearby empire, and that's not all. Demons appear in the Trade Cities along with swords that harness the powers of nature. All three are rooted in the recent Valbanill War, which might not be quite over yet.... | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: Played with. Played straight initially when Luke cuts a giant claymore cleanly in half with his katana, then subverted later on in the same episode when Luke's katana is broken by an ice demon. All of the other blacksmiths in the city make their swords out of unfolded slabs of cast steel, so it's no wonder they're brittle. On the other hand, Luke's katana is magically enhanced and he tries not to cut armor or other weapons. Even Lisa admits that any sword can be broken by abuse and Luke tends to break his katana fairly frequently. Lisa gushes on the virtues of katana. Averted in that the most powerful sword in the city, the "demon sword" Aria, takes the form of an estoc. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: While Sigfried doesn't actually rape Cecily, the scene where he beats the crap out of her, strips her naked, and tells her that she's pretty for a country girl while straddling her naked body, as well as Cecily's reaction to it, crying out for help that never comes, and vomiting afterwards, all evoke this trope. This is especially the case when one remembers that rape isn't just about sex, but about power and control, which Sigfried clearly robbed from Cecily. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Bollock Dagger is Truth in Television: The bollock dagger (also known as the kidney knife) was an actual weapon used during Medieval Europe, deriving its name from its "unique" shape. Specifically, the bollock dagger was a style of dagger especially popular in the British Isles, with a guard shaped like, basically, two balls (in the geometrical, as well as the colloquial, sense); it was also commonly worn in front, in a deliberately suggestive position. "Kidney dagger" is a later Victorian euphemism, created explicitly so as to avoid sexual connotations. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: The Demon Contracts which uses the "death song" engraved on the victims' hearts (normally sung by their spirits upon their deaths) prematurely, killing them and combining their souls with the ambient magical energy from Valbanill to morph them into giant monsters. Luke believes he created Lisa using one of these, but not quite. Apparently it's also possible for some people to use their death songs to create more benign forms of demon like Lisa (and presumably Aria). | |

Cowboy Cop | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_3dd3951e | comment |
Cowboy Cop: This trope is deconstructed (at least in the manga). While Cecily possesses the single greatest weapon in the city, her unreliability and temperament (trying to punch a diplomat from The Empire because he pissed you off?) makes her unpopular with the rest of the Knights so she's viewed primarily as a Troubleshooter/thug by the city's Powers That Be — with the exception of Hannibal, though he calls her out the most. | |

Exotic Weapon Supremacy | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_421f8eb8 | comment |
Exotic Weapon Supremacy: No one in Housman except Luke can forge and use katanas. For that matter, not many people in the city have ever seen a katana before. Partially Justified: Weapons in Housman are "forged" by pouring molten metal into a mold and then sharpening it. Luke's technique of folding the metal makes the results whole orders of magnitude stronger. | |

Maybe even other people, the more they go on the more the only requisite seems to be to pass near enough Cecily's chest. | |

| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_58102dbd | comment |
Enforced Cold War: According to Siegfried, this is the reason why peace exists in the first place. The war was beyond horrific to the point of severely traumatizing entire nations, which is why: A) they would do anything to avoid a war, and B) Demon Swords are so lusted after by everyone and their mothers. He might be lying, but still it makes a lot of sense in the setting. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Eventually, this becomes Luke's reason for continuing to keep silent about his feelings for Cecily. He knows that his life is coming to a swift end, and he doesn't want his death to cause Cecily the same pain that Lisa Oakwood's caused him. He tells Euen that he's sure that someday Cecily will find happiness with another man. However, when Euen asks Luke if he'd really be okay with watching Cecily fall in love with someone else because of never telling her how he feels, Luke grits his teeth and doesn't answer. | |

Weapons Breaking Weapons | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_66583b22 | comment |
Weapons Breaking Weapons: At least twice in the anime adaptation. Luke makes his grand entrance into the series by cleaving through a claymore with his katana like it was a hot knife through butter. Later in the series, Cecily demonstrates that Luke's Sacred Sword is ready by challenging Sigfried to try to cut through it. Luke's sword is planted tip down in the tabletop, but it doesn't budge when Sigfried tries to break it, though his own sword is cloven by the effort. | |

The Unfair Sex | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_6ae4dedd | comment |
The Unfair Sex: Cecily is often unfair to Luke though more from being too Hot-Blooded and impulsive for her own good than any malice. She will verbally attack Luke without provocation (or information) because she can't handle her own feelings. When she snarks about his sorest point (the death of his first love) before fleeing in tears Lisa insists that he be the one to apologize. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Reginald, who bawls Cecily out for being unable to kill a zombie in episode 03. He calls her a coward and says that she doesn't deserve to be a Knight Guard. Harsh as his words are, he does have a point, when Cecily's reluctance to kill puts herself and others in danger. | |

All of the other blacksmiths in the city make their swords out of unfolded slabs of cast steel, so it's no wonder they're brittle. On the other hand, Luke's katana is magically enhanced and he tries not to cut armor or other weapons. Even Lisa admits that any sword can be broken by abuse and Luke tends to break his katana fairly frequently. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Cecily's anime incarnation takes her first level in the fight against the fire demon and keeps improving from there. Her second fight with Charlotte's handmaidens/bodyguards is a complete reversal of her first, with her splitting them up and then soundly beating each one with tactics specifically designed to counter their abilities. Hell, even the first fight (three against one and she held her own) showed she had improved. In the manga, she manages to take down all of Charlotte's handmaidens/bodyguards one after another without splitting them, sniping Margot behind from a wall and fighting off the other two. | |

Do not even try to say anything about Lisa being a "replacement" to Luke. While he may acknowledge it, he will, at worst, give you a black eye. What really breaks the camel's back is Siegfried attacking, stripping naked, and beating Cecily. This triggers a full-on Roaring Rampage of Revenge with a side of Tranquil Fury from Luke. | |

And that's not even getting into Siegfried's assault on Cecily: He brutally beats and strips her, then leaves her lying in an abandoned barn. | |

Adaptational Wimp: In the manga and original light novels, Cecily is one of the most badass swordswomen who can defeat enemies with her weapons. The anime version, on the other hand, gets rescued three times in fewer episodes. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: It's been shown on a few occasions that Katanas can cleanly slice through other swords.. Even when the Katana is resting and another sword strikes it, the other sword will cleanly slice in half. See Katanas Are Just Better below. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_e34ada78 | comment |
Authority Equals Asskicking: Hannibal may be around 60 years old but the man knows how to kick ass! As expected from a man who's a veteran of the Valbanill War, and present leader of the town guards. Cecily is a noblewoman and so she counts as this in the manga and light novels. There she rallies a group of knights and mercenaries against a large number of thieves with werewolves to victory. | |

Clothing Damage | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_e61d9a3c | comment |
Clothing Damage: Cecily's armor breaks during battle, being about as durable as her sword. One time, it broke when she slapped her hand against it, to her embarrassment. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Luke saves Cecily often. The very first scene in the anime is a Flash Forward to him rescuing her for the third time. It's defied in the manga and light novels, where Cecily decides that she's not gonna just stand there and let Luke have all the fun. Siegfried attacking Cecily is a subversion. While he's tearing her clothes off, Cecily screams for Luke. It's exactly the time when the reader expects Luke to appear in a blaze of righteous fury to save her, just as he's done every other time before... but he never does. Siegfried strips Cecily naked and beats her to make her feel ashamed of her gender. He doesn't rape her but only because he is physically unable to. | |

Power Degeneration | |
| The Sacred Blacksmith / int_f03edab9 | comment |
Power Degeneration: Because their work involves shaping glowing, white-hot pieces of iron, most blacksmith develop damage to one (or both) of their eyes. Luke starts to lose the vision in his one remaining eye. This turns out to be a lie Luke tells to comfort Lisa but the trope is still being played straight. Luke is using his own flesh for "Demon Sword Materialization". | |
