There is something a sword has that other weapons don't. It could be that it is an Elegant Weapon for a More Civilized Age, or perhaps it's because sword fights just look so impossibly cool. Often Heroes Prefer Swords. These weapons even come in multiple categories: Longsword (two-handed): The quintessential knightly weapon of the Late Middle Ages, with an average blade length of 90 cm (35 in). Sometimes used as a generic term referring to any sword that long or longer. This type of sword came into vogue in the late 13th century, and remained in use until the 17th century. Prone to a lot of misidentification, it's commonly mistaken for a bastard sword, greatsword, broadsword and other types of swords from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The longsword was made to be wielded with two hands, and thus has a handle long enough to comfortably accommodate them, yet doesn't qualify as a BFS since it can be used one-handed, although you would lose dexterity in your swordplay if you did. Greatswords ARE the BFS of the real world, sometimes as tall as a man of their period and with pretty big handles and handguards. Some of the specific types of greatswords are mentioned below. Both the German and Italian schools of swordsmanship deal with the longsword. Zweihänder (two-hander): With a blade length of 120-150 cm (4-5 ft) it's the longest known sword, the real life BFS. Bigger. Longer. Better. Used for intimidation, decapitation, and decimation. Especially good for lopping enemy pike tips off, not to mention enemy heads. Claymore (two-handed): Scottish sword with a blade length of 100-115 cm (39-45 in). Sometimes used by blonde women to kill human-eating monsters. Rapier: Ho ho! Ha ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust! Quip! A one-handed sword with a long (~40 in), stiff, narrow blade for thrusting play. The favorite weapon of The Cavalier Years, where swashbuckling heroes and Pirates roamed. Expect Implausible Fencing Powers and lots of Flynning. See also: foils (which are blunt and used in fencing). Falx (two-handed): The Dacian Legionnaire-killer. This awesome weapon is long, and it's curved, but unlike most curved weapons, it is sharp on the inside curve instead of the outside, so it can hook up any lorica segmentata (Roman plate armor), decapitate you with a push and a pull and hack off limbs. One of the few weapons that actually changed Roman standard armor. There was also a shorter, one-handed version of the weapon as well. The Montante, a two-handed longsword almost as tall as a man, also called the Spanish/Hispanic/Iberian Montante, was the Spanish and Portuguese BFS, deeply feared in the battlefield at a time when Spain was the dominating world power and, despite its enormous size, wielded with great agility. A textbook example of the use of the Montante was when employed by a lone warrior to defend a small position against several attackers. Transition Sword Category: typically has an average blade length of 70 cm (28 in). Bastard Sword/Hand-and-a-Half Sword: Smaller in blade and hold than a longsword, but longer than a shortsword. These swords can support about a hand... and a half. It is designed to be used primarily one-handed, but can easily switch to two-handed for more powerful strikes. The pommel of the weapon can hold the back half of the non-dominant hand. Primarily used in medieval and European settings. Compare longsword and arming sword. Tachi/Katana (two-handed): The weapon of choice of the Samurai and certain Ninja (especially of the highly visible variety). Tachi were in vogue for most of the time, being supplanted by katana after the Sengoku Period. Are considered the coolest swords of all by some people. Not all Japanese swords were katana, but popular culture doesn't know that...nor are they generally aware of the Katana's European counterpart, the German Großes Messer and the two-handed Kriegsmesser Scimitar (one-handed): Includes all kinds of curved, non-katana swords, including the Pirate cutlass, the Indian talwar, the European falchion and sabre, and the Chinese dao. Usually wielded by heroes in the "Arabian Nights" Days, as well as good-hearted dark elves. Falcata (one-handed): Similar to a kukri or kopis, and probably a distant relative to them via Greek trade, these pre-Roman Spanish machetes are curved downwards, yet also retain a sharp thrusting point. It is considered the ancient Hispanic sword par excellence, even although it was actually only characteristic of Southern Spain and probably never saw the wide usage pop culture attributes to it; its relevance may come from being highly distinctive in shape and absolutely beautiful overall (they were considered luxury articles, and Hannibal Barca likely had one as his sidearm given his Iberian connections). Spatha (one-handed): Longer than a Gladius, but too short for a longsword, pattern-welded for greater strength. From late Roman days to the First Crusade, this was one of the most common sword types in Europe. King Arthur is likely to have historically used one, and any Viking that isn't swinging an axe or stabbing with a spear might have one of these. Also called a broadsword or broadblade, the literal meaning of Spatha, although modern use of "broadsword" refers to an Arming Sword or a basket-hilted sword. The other translation for 'Spatha' is 'spade' or 'shovel', because it was 'invented' by enlarging the Gladius in order to make it more useful for jobs around the camp. It is therefore the ancestor of not just most later medieval European straight swords, but also of the entrenching tool. Viking sword and its descendants (one-handed swords): The classic, cross-shaped knightly weapon, a descendant of the Spatha and those originally used by the Vikings, and commonly paired with a shield. As such, this is usually found in the hands of the Knight in Shining Armor, though heroes of all kinds have made use of them. Often mistakenly called a "longsword," especially by Tabletop Gamers. The term "Arming sword" is often mistakenly applied to all one-handed swords. The word only entered the language in the 15th century, and in general refers to swords as they transitioned from a main weapon to a side weapon. jian is the Chinese equivalent, with many of the same cultural associations. Claymore, Basket-Hilted (one-handed): Descendant of the above with a blade length of 75-90 cm (30-35 in). Jian (one-handed): Known as "The Gentleman of Weapons", the jian is not just a national weapon but a cultural icon. One of what is considered the four "main" weapons of Chinese antiquity, the jian was the weapon of officers, nobles and men of high standing. The typical jian has a double-edged blade and often include a colorful tassel in the pommel. Most modern blades are flexible for ceremonial or performance purposes. A staple of Chinese historical fiction, it is a requirement of any proper Wuxia film. Shortsword Category: Most variations are shorter than a transition sword, but not quite a knife, having an average blade length of 50 cm (20 in) that is closer to a machete. Are so short that they are always one-handed. Xiphos: A type of Greek sword that has a vague leaf-like shape to it. The end is slightly wider than the middle, so it has more centrifugal force and is thus much better for breaking things and cutting stuff. Gladius: The sword of choice for stories set in Rome, even although, ironically, it originated in Hispania, where Celtiberians, Lusitanians and other tribes used it to chop each other's heads; the Romans adopted this highly efficient blade after watching what Carthage's Hispanic mercenaries could do with it. If it's not a gladius but about the same size, it's a likely weapon of choice for children or Hobbits. The Japanese equivalent is the kodachi/wakizashi, which samurai often carried with the tachi/katana. Sometimes the sword is especially special because: Absurdly Sharp Blade: It can cut through (practically) anything. ...Like Cannot Cut Like: except another equally cool sword. Ancestral Weapon: It was owned by some important ancestor. BFS: It's frickin' HUGE. Bifurcated Weapon: It's combined with another weapon. Black Swords Are Better: It's dark. Blade Below the Shoulder: It's attached to the wielder's arm instead of being held. Clingy MacGuffin: You can't get rid of it. Double Weapon: It's got two blades instead of one. Empathic Weapon: It's got a mind of its own. Only the Chosen May Wield: And it chose you, and you alone, to be its personal wielder. Talking Weapon: Or it talks! Living Weapon: Perhaps it has a life of its own. Evil Weapon: It's evil. Flaming Sword: It's on fire. Forged by the Gods: It was made by a god. Giant's Knife; Human's Greatsword: Big creatures consider it a dagger, this doesn't stop you from using it as a BFS. Infinity +1 Sword: It's rare. It Was a Gift: Someone significant gave it to you. Especially when it's a token that you're his successor. Laser Blade: It's made of Pure Energy. Legendary Weapon: It's famous. Named Weapons: It's got a name of its own. Situational Sword: It can only be wielded in the right circumstances. Soul-Cutting Blade: It cuts more than just the body. Sword of Plot Advancement: It's the villain's Achilles' Heel. Vibroweapon: It vibrates. ...Er. Weapon of X-Slaying It is especially effective against a particular type of creature; or maybe a singular entity. Or even the only thing that can hurt said entity. Wrecked Weapon: It was broken. Reforged Blade: ...and remade. This trope is Older Than Feudalism, because the sword is a very, very old weapon and there are tons of examples from mythology. Possibly the most iconic Cool Sword of all is Excalibur, the sword the Lady in the Lake gave to King Arthur (which supposedly wasn't the original Sword in the Stone). And no, having a sword is not (necessarily) Compensating for Something. Recording the sheer number of characters who use swords in media would make for a VERY long trope. Basically, name any hero from a Heroic Fantasy series or an RPG (of any genre), and chances are he'll be using a sword. Thus, this trope should be reserved for cool swords; those with some exceptional quality, name, or power. Not just any old sword will do. For swords that aren't fantastically and impractically cool, see our Useful Notes: Swords page. Oddly Shaped Sword is the Sub-Trope for swords that have a really weird shape. |

Finn's swords from Adventure Time are often cool. For example there's his golden sword (which surprisingly is a good weapon), his twin golden katanas, and his root sword. More notably, in one episode, his golden sword got upgraded to a fourth dimensional sword. In another episode, it's revealed that Finn and his adoptive brother Jake have a family sword made out of demon's blood. After said demon-blood sword is drained and shattered, Finn later acquires a Grass Sword, which stores as a wrap on his forearm when not in use, and is permanently bonded to him…until said arm is ripped off, only saved from the elbow-up by the semi-sentient sword sacrificing itself. Much later, after Finn's arm grows back, a secret plan is put into motion to revive a cosmic Wish Master, involving a lot of Timey-Wimey Ball stuff; Finn actually earns yet another new sword from all this, the Finn Sword, made from an alternate time-duplicate of himself! After the Finn Sword merges with the remnants of the Grass Sword in Finn's arm to become its own entity with an exact copy of the Grass Sword, Finn used a fairly normal rapier, but after that gets destroyed, he got his final onscreen sword. The Night Sword, forged by Peppermint Butler and blessed with Nightosphere magic by the Nightosphere's king, Hunson Abadeer. Billy the Hero's sword Nothung. He can even Summon to Hand by calling its name, and even then it's so sharp if he doesn't have his gauntlet on it will damage him. |

Zodiac, Tooi's sword in The Reunion With Twelve Fascinating Goddesses. It normally takes the form of a black short sword, but changes in appearance depending on which of the goddesses possesses it. It has possibly the coolest origin story as far as swords go, being forged by Zesca, the Deity of weapons, using Etherium mined by Gushana, the Deity of earth, and finally completed using Tooi's blood and the souls of all twelve goddesses. | |

Samurai Jack: Jack has a very cool sword. It was forged by the gods into a holy katana that is one of the very few things that can actually harm Aku. The Scotsman has a blade that is just about as cool. His sword of choice is a huge claymore that also has magical properties, like nigh-unbreakability, due to being inscribed with "MAGIC RUNES!" The Winter segment of the episode "The 4 Seasons Of Death", had a race of orc-like creatures constructing one, forging it from crystals mined deep in a mountain, heating it with a dragon's fire, cooling it within an ancient glacier, imbuing it with the power of lightning, having seven blacksmiths all hammering it at once, and holding an gladiator-style arena battle to decide who should wield it. When the wielder encounters Samurai Jack, he immediately cuts the sword in half with his katana before the guy even has a chance to fight back. |

The titular Bloodsword and its twin, the Demon's Claw in Blood Sword, these two weapons were made by the angel of Death to separate the world of dead from the living. As such they are easily the most powerful weapons in the series and are especially devastating against undead (capable of killing them instantly). Other interesting swords include Bludtranker, a sword that was forged from a sliver of the sword belonging to the god Frey and deals extra damage to giants, and the sword of Loge which is blue crystal sword whose blade turns invisible in combat - making it easier to hit enemies as they have a difficult time defending against the unseen blade. | |

In The Song of Roland, we have Durandal, No, not that one., the sword of Charlemagne's paladin, Roland. Said to be indestructible, in addition to containing various holy relics in its hilt, including a tooth of St. Peter, blood of St. Basil, and a hair of St. Denis. This sword was so indestructible, that when Roland attempted to smash it to prevent it being taken by the Saracens, he accidentally created La Brèche de Roland, a large gap in the Pyrennes mountains forty meters wide and a hundred meters tall. |

It comes with the handy ability to reveal truths, free people from possession or parasitic influence, and in a pinch can be used to stab someone. It has a truly ludicrously complex origin. Approximately: It was retroactively created by Old!Loki (there are several Lokis in the comic) from curse and greed and revenge through the power of legend to free/defeat himself. Basically it's weaponized Brutal Honesty. | |

X-Men: Illyana Rasputin's Soulsword, forged from her very soul. It's incapable of cutting purely physical objects (though it still blocks things just fine), but it can cut through anything the least bit magical — artifacts, enchantments, demons, etc. — like a hot knife through butter. It also generates a kickass armor when she wills it. Ilyana's own magical abilities are also enhanced while wielding the Soulsword. Finally, the sword is a symbol of her mastery over Limbo. The Muramasa Blade forged for [[Wolverine, containing a "shard of his soul", is said to be the only weapon that can kill him (or his kin, apparently) for good. It ultimately killed Sabretooth. Wolverine's son Daken had part of it melted down and grafted onto his wrist claws (which retract, like Wolverine's). The Crisis Crossover X of Swords deals with a contest involving ten legendary blades being used by ten X-Men to battle ten foes wielding their own cool swords. Besides Wolverine's Murasama and Magik's Soulsword, the other blades used here: The Skybreaker, the first Vibranium weapon forged, used by [[spoiler:after stealing it from the ComicBook/BlackPanther. Warlock, the technoorganic being and friend of his welder Cypher. The Light of Galador, a sword formerly used by the Spaceknights, now used by the young Cable. The Starlight Sword, a mystical weapon forged from the walls of the Starlight Tower, taken by Betsy Braddock, the current Captain Britain. The Sword of Might, one of two weapons that could be used to create a new Captain Britain, now used by Brian Braddock, now Captain Avalon. Scarab, a kopesh-like weapon, used by Apocalypse. Godkiller and Grasscutter, mythical god-killing weapons, both welded by Gorgon. |

Sluggy Freelance: Torg's sword Chaz (a.k.a. Unholy Evil Death Bringer) is a quasi-Ancestral Weapon that, when bathed in the blood of the innocent, is able to talk and "kill most things that can be killed." Oh, and it glows red, to boot. Torg is very aware of just how cool that is. | |

Hrun's sword Kring from The Colour of Magic is so cool it can not only hold a conversation (probably better than Hrun can), but can also take over anyone wielding it. It has various motivations, from forcing its wielder to be a hero, as with Rincewind, to avoiding being stuck in a coal seam for millions of years (it was thrown in a lake once, possibly for being annoying, and didn't enjoy that). Ironically, what it really wants is to be a ploughshare ("I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like an existence with some point to it"). | |

Bleach. All Shinigami (and then some other characters) carry zanpaktou (soul swords). Usually they look like normal swords, but when the wielder achieves First Release (Shikai), they can be temporarily made... well, variations on larger, longer, sharper, they become two swords, one of them becomes something like a few dozen razor-sharp cherry blossoms. Final Release (Bankai) is something else entirely. Usually, the weapon can't even be classified as a sword anymore. The resident Mad Scientist has one that turns into a Kaiju Caterpillar, a member of squad 11 has one that's a giant combination of a Dao and some kind of pendulum-blade thing which he spins around to increase its power. It's Shonen Manga, so you get what you pay for. | |

Hellboy: While few of the swords Hellboy has used were particularly elaborate, they were all very old. Only ever used as improvisational weapons, you'd think a rusty piece of metal wouldn't be that cool. But they are. May be Mike Mignola's love of Gothic antiquity rearing its head. He was recently given Excalibur, which appears as a somewhat ornate and unusually long gladius. There's also his father's sword, which waits for him in Pandemonium and will herald the Apocalypse. |

Glamdring ('Foe Hammer'): this elven-blade was originally wielded by Turgon, the king of Gondolin; it was lost over the years, but was later rediscovered by Gandalf. Quite possibly, this was the weapon used to slay Durin's Bane, the Balrog in Moria. | |

The sword of Martin the Warrior from the Redwall series. Another case of meteoric iron, plus handed down through many followers. It's been described as having an edge like midwinter, which is just pure badass. This weapon is proof a sword doesn't have to have a unique look (all it has going for it is a ruby pommelstone and black-cloth-wrapped handgrip) to be a Cool Sword, though in the animated series, it has the Arc Words "I AM THAT IS" engraved in the blade. It wasn't always a Cool Sword; in the prequel Martin the Warrior, it's just his family's sword, with nothing else special about it. When Martin arrives in Mossflower, Tsarmina breaks it in a fit of rage, and it later gets reforged using meteoric iron by Ultimate Blacksmith Boar the Fighter into the blade of legend. It goes through dozens and dozens of generations without any sign of tarnish or damage, and may or may not be imbued with the spirit of its original wielder as any hero who picks it up as their main weapon finds it perfect for them and then proceeds to kick ass and take names. | |

The Sword of Riva from The Belgariad. An incredibly large sword made of meteoric iron, it's so heavy it needs the MacGuffin stuck on its pommel to lighten its weight. It also has a tendency to glow with blue fire when aforementioned macguffin is attached. Garion is able to use the Orb of Aldur to give a friend's sword some similar properties. By the time Garion is done with it, 'Zakath is able to use his BFS as a rapier because it weighs absolutely nothing. Cthrek Goru, Torak's black sword, is also pretty damn cool. A cursed BFS that leaks shadow with every swing, it intills fear in all those menaced by it. Wielded first by Torak, and then by the Demon Lord Mordja, it is present at both EVENTs and serves as the Evil Counterpart to the Sword of the Rivan King. |

Umineko: When They Cry gives us the Red/Blue/Gold Key Blades. They aren't much to look at, but are made of truth and theory and are some of the most powerful melee weapons in fiction, according to the Tips section of the novel, with abilities like, but not limited to, preemptively denying any concept of defence, evasion or survival. Despite this, they can clash without the fight ending instantly, though the story handwaves this by mentioning that they've been limited in power for the duration of the story. | |

The legendary Willblade from Huntik: Secrets & Seekers. It was used by the first Seeker, Lord Casterwill himself, to seal the Spiral Mark that can be used to call the Nullifiers.

The Betrayer tricks Lok into unsealing the Spiral Mark with it under the pretense of destroying it. | |

Star Trek: Picard: Elnor's tan qalanq (the iconic weapon of the Qowat Milat) is a straight, single-edged Absurdly Sharp Blade which happens to be evocative of some East Asian swords. Both the hilt and scabbard are wooden, so the tan qalanq's understated beauty mirrors his graceful Fantastic Fighting Style. When it's brandished by a Qowat Milat, this Romulan sword is as elegant as it is deadly, as a lone warrior nun can vanquish multiple foes armed with energy weapons and behead a person with one smooth stroke. | |

The Night Unfurls: All Hunters have at least one Impossibly Cool Weapon that can switch between two forms, called a trick weapon. One of the forms resemble a sword. Kyril currently possesses the Holy Moonlight Sword, once the "guiding moonlight" of Ludwig, the Holy Blade. It is the only known sword in the story that can glow, shoot beams of energy, and have a will of its own. Sanakan's first weapon is the Kirkhammer, a silver sword that can combine with a stone block to form a large hammer. Her current weapon, the Holy Blade, is a silver sword (similar to the one for Kirkhammer) that transforms into a BFS by combining it with its sheath. Both are Bifurcated Weapons. Hugh has two: a katana with a blood rite (Chikage), and a curved sword that can switch into a bow (Simon's Bowblade). The Church Pick, wielded by Lily, has an unusual appearance. It has a broad blade, a long hilt, and no guard. It can also transform into a polearm. Soren's current weapon is a rapier-gun hybrid, named the Reiterpallasch. |

The Poetic Edda of Norse Mythology includes a story called The Waking of Angantyr. The story revolves around the magic sword Tyrfing ("The Finger of the War God"). Odin's mortal grandson Svafrlami managed to entrap some Dwarves and forced them to forge the sword for him. It gleamed like fire and could cut through metal and stone as if through cloth. It would also never miss a strike and the blade would never blemish. But angry at being forced to create it, the Dwarves cursed it so that whenever it was drawn it would kill someone. It was also designed to betray its wielders eventually. However, it was an awesome weapon and Angantyr uses it in a battle between his people, the Goths, and their far more numerous enemies the Huns. The Goths win because Angantyr cuts down much of their army using Tyrfing. | |

In the Shannara series by Terry Brooks there are two of these. The Sword of Shannara, which can reveal the truth about anything it touches, and the jet black Sword of Leah, which, having been dipped in the Hadeshorn, can now cut and parry magic as though it were iron and steel. | |

Dragon Ball: Future Trunks's sword, which was used to kill Freeza. King Cold believed the sword was the reason how he could kill Freeza, but it's soon revealed that the sword is nothing special. However. It got chipped when Android 18 blocked the attack from Super Saiyajin Trunks and he hardly used it ever since. And in the non-canon seventh movie, it broke into two when Trunks fought a One-Winged Angel Android 13. Since after Trunks's training in the Room of Spirit and Time, Trunks never used his sword for the rest of the manga (and Z anime), likely due to its damage. In Dragon Ball Super, Trunks has another sword (or the same was just repaired), and even though it is just a regular sword and not necessary for him to use in combat, Trunks feels comfortable to have it by his side. However, in the finale of his arc, Trunks somehow manages to create a Genkidama and transfers all the energy into his sword, turning it into the Sword of Hope and defeats Fused Zamasu with it. Super Janemba turns an oni's mace into the red Dimension Sword. As its name implies, it cuts through dimension and can create dimension portals. It throws Sword Beams all the time and gives SSJ3 Goku big trouble. |

In Harry Potter, there's the Sword of Gryffindor, which is a goblin-made, pure silver sword capable of being strengthened by the magical properties of creatures it slays. After absorbing basilisk venom, it becomes one of the few known methods of destroying a Horcrux. | |

Tenchi Masaki nets himself a few in the three continuities he's a major player in (re: ones where Sasami doesn't take over.) In the OVA, he has Tenchiken, the lightsaber-like weapon that belonged to his grandpa. It's also set so that if a non-Juraian touches it, it electrocutes them. He also has the Light Hawk Sword, an energy sword he creates from the Light Hawk Wings, powerful enough to disintegrate Kagato... and split his spaceship Souja in half! Tenchi Universe goes back to just Tenchiken, but The Movie shows his mom Achika pulling more out of it by elongating it to the point where she could cleave the monster KAIN. Tenchi in Tokyo gives Tenchi a crystal-like sword, comprised of six gems... but, because Tenchi wants to be normal, he separates the gems and gives them to the girls. |

Lohengrin and the Prince's swords in Princess Tutu. The Prince's sword can even turn into two swans when broken, which... is a bit silly, but still cool, since it allows Mytho to call the sword to him after Fakir breaks it with Lohengrin's sword. | |

Forest Kingdom: There are any number of cool swords in the series, notably the Infernal Devices — Rockbreaker, Flarebright and Wolfsbane (gigantic, malevolent and sentient magical swords) — and the Curtana, known as the Sword of Compulsion. They're all evil, but undeniably cool. The Rainbow Sword from the same novels is something of an inversion, as it appears to be an entirely normal blade, and doesn't even have a cool name, although it does have its own powers and proves pivotal in the story. | |

The Dresden Files: The Swords of the Cross, which each have a nail from the True Cross worked into the blade. They are Fidelacchius, Esperacchius, and Amoracchius: the swords of Faith, Hope, and Love respectively. If that weren't cool enough, Ghost Story confirms that they are also respectively the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Durandal, and Excalibur, or were at least reforged therefrom. In due course, the Sword of Faith breaks, when used by one with impure intent. It is now nothing but a hilt. This hilt comes into the possession of a nerd, in a moment of great peril. The nerd is proved worthy. Fidelacchius appears to be delighted to become precisely the kind of sword that every nerd immediately thinks of when given the specifications "cuts through anything" and "starts out as just a hilt". That said, there is a limit to its awesome power. It will not harm mortals, only the supernatural. So against a mugger or mortal minion of a demon and the angelic light will not touch them. The Wardens of the White Council have some heavily enchanted swords which can cut through magic. Harry didn't get one when he was made a Warden in Dead Beat because the wizard who makes them was rendered unable to do so by the events of the book. |

Inuyasha's title character has his Tessaiga. So cool that Sesshomaru's antagonism is partially out of jealousy over Inuyasha being able to wield it, but not him.

Fate of the Clans: Mordred's Clarent is able to launch a tower of thick hatred and mana as a Noble Phantasm. When he was alive, the sword Cú Chulainn used most often was a demonic weapon. Another demonic sword he used back then was Fragarach, which could deploy from its sheath for a strike without even being touched, forces someone to be incapable of lying as long as the blade's at their throat, and can alter the order of events so even when it strikes last it hits first for a fatal blow and makes it so it kills the other person before they struck so their attack vanishes. The sword is also Forged by the Gods and had an Only the Chosen May Wield rule in which only those the sword considers worthy can use it. |

Tokiya Mikagami of Flame of Recca has a family heirloom sword named Ensui, which also doubles as a ninja madogu. Inactive, it's just a little bone handle with a spike, but when he immerses it in water it becomes a very lethal water blade. Not only can he use any fluid in it (including blood and acid) but he can use any of the forms of water (ice, steam), manipulate his surroundings, and create water doppelgangers. The more liquid he uses, the stronger it gets. The fact that he's a damn good swordsman (and the only trained fighter in the group) does not detract from Ensui's coolness. | |

Other names include Widow Maker and Heart Breaker. Caledfwylch in his Warlord Chronicles, which would become known as Excalibur by the later generations. |

Soul Eater: Ragnarok, who varies in size and shape (though not to BFS standards), but most of the time looks like a longsword. A black longsword, who is not so much attached to his wielder as he is inside them when not being used in combat. Also counts as a Vibroweapon, and a bullying Talking Weapon. Tsubaki would also count after she gains her Uncanny katana mode after defeating her brother and he allows her to absorb him. Then there are her forms after Black Star works out the Nakatsukasa Purpose. Excalibur. To clarify: His sword form is perfectly symmetrical, and gives his meister powers that put them on the level of godhood (super speed, strength, etc.) Though, to wield him one must worship the very ground he walks on and follow all of his demands, if you don't do things EXACTLY his way, he won't do jack for you. The sword and his list of demands (1000 of them!) is SO annoying, nobody in the Manga has managed to use it (Some have tried, but when you bring it up, they always get the exact same look of dread on their face. It looks like a hybrid of the face one gets when constipated, combined with what occurs after a Groin Attack), with the occasional reference to one or two people who have managed to use it in the past. In an anime episode, Hiro (minor character only seen ONCE in the manga series), actually finds Excalibur tolerable and also enjoyable, and becomes the strongest meister in all of Shibusen, even taking out Black Star, Kilik and Death the Kid. This ended when Hiro couldn't stand Excalibur's constant sneezing and puts him back. |

Exalted lives on cool swords. The most common of the cool swords are made of Jade, and are extremely fast because of it. Orichalcum weapons are weapons of perfection, made out of the same stuff as the Unconquered Sun himself. Moonsilver weapons can change shape and slip past defenses. Starmetal swords are made out of meteorites. Soulsteel weapons are made out of the souls of the dead. All of them are already very strong in stats, the material just adds a bonus. | |

Illyana Rasputin's Soulsword, forged from her very soul. It's incapable of cutting purely physical objects (though it still blocks things just fine), but it can cut through anything the least bit magical — artifacts, enchantments, demons, etc. — like a hot knife through butter. It also generates a kickass armor when she wills it. Ilyana's own magical abilities are also enhanced while wielding the Soulsword. Finally, the sword is a symbol of her mastery over Limbo. | |

After he is defeated and briefly restored to his old noble self, Bruford passes on the sword to Jonathan, and adds a "P" to it with his own blood and renames it "Luck&Pluck" in honor of Jonathan's courage. Jonathan later makes good use of "Luck&Pluck" in his battle with Dio. | |

Used thematically in Seven Swords, as it is implied that the heroes' power is because of the swords, rather than their own use of them. As for the swords themselves: The Deity can cut through stone, The Dragon can break it; Heaven's Fall has a sliding blade that can extend from either side of the hilt; The Shooting Stars are two swords which can be attached to each other and used as a flail-whip...thing. | |

Pathfinder has a number of examples as well. Serithtial from the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path is by default a bastard sword, though it can reshape itself into a bladed weapon more favored by its user. It was used to defeat the dragon warlord Kazavon, only to be lost in his castle of Scarwall when his slayers were killed by orcs and the castle was enveloped by a curse. The sword is dedicated to fighting servants of the evil god Zon-Kuthon (of whom Kazavon was a champion) and is instrumental in overcoming the adventure path's Big Bad, who is being influenced by Kazavon's spirit. Once the final boss is defeated, the artifacts she was using interact and attempt to resurrect Kazavon himself on the spot (which if it succeeds is pretty much a TPK). Serithtial is the key to preventing this. Though not directly involved in the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path, the Bound Blade is connected to its events, being one of seven artifacts created from the indestructible remains of the dragon Kazavon. It has the power to bind the souls of anyone it kills, eventually destroying them beyond mortal abilities to resurrect. From the Kingmaker adventure path is the sword Briar. Created when the Eldest of the First World stripped the nymph Nyrissa of her capacity to love, it is found late in the adventure path as a +4 bastard sword. Using it to battle creatures of the First World will gradually upgrade it, eventually turning it into a Vorpal weapon capable of decapitating its targets, potentially including the Big Bad, Nyrissa herself. From the same adventure path is Ovinrbaane, Enemy of All Enemies. The good news is that it's a very powerful greatsword that can counter magical attacks against its wielder. The bad news is it continually modifies its wielder's memories and physical appearance in an attempt to reshape them into the image of its original owner, the barbarian champion Armag the Twice-Born. It also allows its bearer to command the allegiance of a cadre of regenerating skeleton warriors. Lord Marshall Aleseara Cansellarion of the Glorious Revolution, the Hero Antagonist of the Hell's Vengeance adventure path (designed for evil-aligned PCs), wields Heart's Edge, a blade formerly owned by the goddess Iomedae during her time as a mortal. It has all the powers of a Holy Avenger, which is already a very powerful magic item, with a number of additional abilities that make it a very potent weapon against evil. After defeating its wielder and crushing her revolution, players have the option of embarking on a series of difficult quests to corrupt the sword into the very evil Heart's Bane. Vesper's Rapier is a weapon once held by the Eldest known as Shyka the Many— sort of a cross between The Fair Folk and a Time Lord. It was given by him to an adventurer named Vesper (who may or may not have been another incarnation of Shyka). Despite its name, it changes its form to one favored by its wielder, so it is not always a rapier. Its user can temporarily drain the sword's power to teleport themself, or to set up a dimensional lock that prevents teleportation. The Seven Swords of Sin, known originally as the Alara'hai, the Blades of Conviction, were created by the seven Runelords to be wielded by their chosen champions. Their powers are normally suppressed, only flaring to life if their associated Runelord is active in the world: Asheia, Sword of Lust is a flaming longsword that protects its user from enchantment spells, and can charm or dominate those it strikes. Baraket, Sword of Pride is a rapier with an invisible blade. It can cast a deadly illusion to scare its target and their allies to death. Chellan, Sword of Greed is a scimitar made of gold, and thus so heavy that it requires exceptional strength to wield. It can transform those it strikes into crystalline statues. Garvok, Sword of Wrath is a greatsword that can be thrown at enemies and explodes with fire on a hit. Especially potent hits trigger a fireball centered on the sword— which the wielder is not immune to. Shin-Tari, Sword of Sloth is a short sword that gains an appropriate bane ability against whatever it strikes, allowing it to deal additional damage on subsequent hits. It can also teleport its victims against their will. Tannaris, Sword of Envy is a bastard sword that appears to be made of crystal. It aids the wielder's defenses and can dispel buffs from those it hits. Ungarato, Sword of Gluttony drains life from those it hits into the wielder, and animates anything it kills as a juju zombie (powerful zombies that retain their intelligence and abilities) to serve the user. |

The Stormlight Archive: Shardblades are enormous Soul Cutting Blades that often have fancy designs or symbols on the blade. They are much much lighter than their massive size would indicate and can be vanished to Hammerspace when not being used. Word of God is that part of the reason he came up with them was because he was annoyed that the coolest fantasy swords were in a sci-fi series. Also, living Shardblades wielded by an active Knight Radiant are even cooler, having glowing Tron Lines on them on them in the Radiant's order's colour. They don't even have to be swords. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has several, as is to be expected Magic swords can have a +1 through +5 bonus to both attack and damage, which can save your skin in a battle. The Nine Lives Stealer is pretty cool. It's a +2 sword with the potential to, if the player scores a critical hit (1/20 chance), instantly kill any enemy with less than 100 health. Once its 9 uses are spent, it's still a +2 sword. and if you use the Book of Exalted Deeds, it may be redeemed. The most iconic of these are the Vorpal Swords. Roll a critical hit and they'll One-Hit Kill anything that can't survive a decapitation. A Holy Avenger sword is a rather normal magic sword in the hands of most people, but in the hands of paladin, it gains enormous bonuses. |

In Shadow of the Conqueror, Imperious is Dayless the Conqueror's masterpiece sunucle, the most perfect and powerful sword ever created on Tellos: blue and gold, longer than ordinary one-handed swords, capable of Absurd Cutting Power, with a hilt stylized to resemble a flaring sun and enough of Dayless's dark secrets cooked into it to render it impervious to the darkstone that normally shatters sunucles. The sunforger's guild used to constantly petition him to just let them examine it, which he absolutely refused. One of his last regrets before jumping off the edge of the world is that he isn't strong enough to carry Imperious with him so that they can leave the world together, and his first objective after becoming young again is to get back home to reunite with his beloved sword. | |

Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Drift has his Great Sword, which are a common weapon of the Circle of Light. There is a drawback in that they draw power from the user's soul, making it a case of Awesome, but Impractical, so Drift uses it sparingly. Even worse, one of the few times he does use it, it gets stolen and used to chop his legs off. Later on, Cyclonus acquires a Great Sword of his own, and due to unique circumstances manages to charge it to impressive levels. He also at one point repurposes it as a Healing Shiv. |

The First Law The Heroes has the Father of Swords. It's described as an absurdly large two-handed sword of dull gray that looks like something a person who'd only heard about swords in stories would think up. In the book, its current bearer is Whirrun of Bligh, who regards it as a blessing and a curse. Although the weapon looks impractical, he wields it with shocking quickness. Logen is given a sword made by the Master Maker, infused with magic. While it does not look impressive, it has a sharp edge that never dulls. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones: The most prized heirloom of House Stark is the enormous greatsword called Ice. It is made of Valyrian Steel, which makes it impossibly sharp. Ned used it for execution and ceremonial purposes, and in general battle, used normal swords. Jon's parting gift to his little sister Arya is a custom-made rapier she names Needle. Jon is rewarded with the Valyrian steel bastard sword Longclaw by the Lord Commander, Jeor Mormont, who felt the sword's name suited a wolf as much as a bear. Its most distinctive feature is a custom pommel of a white wolf with red eyes. Its functional coolness comes from the fact that as it's Valyrian steel, it's able to hold an incredibly keen edge. It can also block White Walkers' weapons and shatter them with one blow. Joffrey shows off his cool sword Hearteater in "Blackwater" but flees the battle without even unsheathing it. Since House Lannister lacks an ancestral cool sword, Tywin has House Stark's ancestral Valyrian steel sword Ice reforged into two swords, Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper, a status symbol only the Targaryens are known to have matched with Blackfyre, sword of the Targaryen kings and heirs and Dark Sister, Visenya's sword, though probably less because he wants two really cool swords and more because he wants to show how completely House Stark has been crushed, and to manufacture legitimacy for Lannister rule of the Seven Kingdoms. Oathkeeper lacks some of the more spectacular elements of its book counterpart (namely its highly distinctive rippling red-and-black blade), but its handle is still ludicrously baroque. Twyin gives Oathkeeper to Jaime, who in turn presents it to Brienne, who is the one to name it this. Once she swears to Sansa, Ice returns to the North... partially. Following the death of Tommen in the aftermath of the Green Trial, Jaime takes up Widow's Wail. The hilt of Roose's sword is specifically designed to resemble an inverted headless flayed man, with the guard formed by his outstretched arms. The hilts of Daario's arakh and dagger are shaped like naked women. House of the Dragon: King Viserys owns the ancestral Targaryen family sword Blackfyre. Aegon II inherits it after his death (or rather usurps the ownership along with the crown). His younger brother Daemon owns and wields their secondary ancestral sword, Dark Sister. |

In Rocket Age the Silthuri, the Martian Royal Caste, are the only people allowed to use the Silthanka. Long, thin and very light sabres, these swords outclass every other conventional sword in the setting on speed and quality. For the more traditional Earthling, the 19th century cavalry sabre is also available. | |

From Mighty Magiswords, the titular Magiswords themselves. While they function more like wands than traditional swords, they come in an extremely wide variety and have an equally wide amount of uses, and that's not counting the Super Teamwork Combos. Some of them are sentient, like Zombie Pumpkin Magisword, Dolphin Magisword, and Taunting Jester Magisword. Some of them shoot food, such as the Tomato Magisword and Excaliburger Magisword. And others can invoke a temporary transformation, like Muscly Arm Magisword. And the strongest Magiswords of them all, the Legendary Magiswords, can only be used a certain amount of times per day. Averted in the case of Nail Clipper Magisword, which is considered to be the worst Magisword of them all (by the characters and the staff) due to it being little more than an oversized nail clipper. | |

From ThunderCats and Thunder Cats 2011: Protagonist Lion-O has the Sword of Omens, the Ancestral Weapon of Thundera's kings, that extends from dagger to longsword when Lion-O utters a By the Power of Grayskull!, and hosts an Amulet of Concentrated Awesome in its hilt that can shoot Sword Beams, project a Bat Signal in times of distress, and grant Lion-O visions. Depending on the Writer, it can do just about anything that its wielder can phrase in the form, "Sword of Omens! Give me X beyond X!" Mumm-Ra's Sword of Plun-Darr, which is double-bladed and usually on FIRE. Several cool swords feature in the ThunderCats (2011) episode "The Duelist and the Drifter", most notably the Sword of Hattanzo, the Sinister Scimitar favored by predatory sword collector and Master Swordsman the Duelist. |

Star Trek: There's the Sword of Kahless, said to be the first bat'leth, forged by Kahless the Unforgettable, which legends claim was forged when a lock of Kahless' hair was dipped into lava, cooled in a certain lake and forged into the blade. The weapon was used to slay the tyrant Molor, defeat the demonic Fek'Ihri, and form the first Klingon Empire. While it IS a Cool Sword, it had no real power other than the power of symbolism, something Worf and Kor learn centuries later when they retrieve it. Bat'leths are generally considered to be Awesome, but Impractical, as its design robs the wielder of a sword's primary advantage over a weapons with a shorter blade range. Trying to use it like a normal sword results in one of the pointy ends facing your own gut, which can end badly. It's probably good for defense, but not much for attacking an enemy with a normal sword, provided the enemy knows to maintain the range. Not to mention that in a series with phasers, using them in actual fighting is unlikely to ever end well. Star Trek: Picard: Elnor's tan qalanq (the iconic weapon of the Qowat Milat) is a straight, single-edged Absurdly Sharp Blade which happens to be evocative of some East Asian swords. Both the hilt and scabbard are wooden, so the tan qalanq's understated beauty mirrors his graceful Fantastic Fighting Style. When it's brandished by a Qowat Milat, this Romulan sword is as elegant as it is deadly, as a lone warrior nun can vanquish multiple foes armed with energy weapons and behead a person with one smooth stroke. |

Fables features two such swords. There is Maerorgladi, the Sword of Regret, wielded by Goldilocks. This is an enchanted sword that "hungers" and never fails to kill. For every soul slain with intent, it takes another at random, as the blood price for its service. There is also The Vorpal Sword, an enchanted weapon that kills anything with a single cut and makes the distinct sound "Snicker-Snack!" with each strike. |

Nike in Magical Circle Guru-Guru eventually learns to call upon the magic sword of light, "Kira Kira." It's highly effective when used properly, but can be finicky about anything interrupting the process. This has resulted in Kira Kira having where the point of the blade would be instead be an old man's head and a little schoolhouse. On the other extreme, being summoned in an ice cave made it an ice sword. | |

A Man of Iron continues Westeros' tradition of having lots of cool swords lying around. In addition to the canonical Ice: Tony has forged two Valyrian steel swords, Lawkeeper (which he gave to Rhodey) and Shadowfang (which he gifts to Jon, hoping to create a new Ancestral Weapon for the Iron Pointe Starks). Bonus points to the latter, which has a sunstone in the hilt, which makes it lighter to wield. House Bracken's Ancestral Weapon, Hate Eternal, which is powerful enough to cut through both of a man's hands in one blow even when used by a teenager like Theon. Gerion Lannister, now called Nikolos Fury, retrieved and now wields Brightroar. |

In Transformers: Prime The Star Saber that Optimus Prime obtains in the episode Legacy, it glows and is really damn sharp. Megatron's Dark Star Saber is basically the same, only it glows purple, has a jagged edge, and shatters the Star Saber. Also from Prime's supplementary fiction is the Chaos Edge, one of a handful of weapons made by Solus Prime and wielded by Nexus Prime (both Cybertronian Precursors). Its abilities are never elaborated on, but hinted to be particularly nasty - Nexus actually only used it as a threat with no real intention of using it though. |

Several examples appear in R.L Stine's Wizards, Warriors and You series for the titular Warrior. He can choose from a cutlass that can fly and fight on its own, a claymore with a flawed enchantment that allows it to regrow a new blade if broken but may attack its own wielder, and the Warrior's main weapon - the Sword of the Golden Lion. The Sword of the Golden Lion was forged by the creator of the Excalibur and rivals that sword in power. There's even one book where the two swords are used in fight with each other, as the Warrior has a duel with the evil phantom of Sir Bedevere who turned out not to have returned the Excalibur. | |

In The Wheel of Time we have the impossibly cool Callandor, a sword-shaped crystal artifact capable of greatly amplifying magic, one of the most powerful magical artifacts in existence, which only The Chosen One could pull out of its magical stasis. Our hero pulled it out, then jammed it back into the ground to remind everyone he was coming back for it, rather than use it. Turns out this was smart, as Callandor was flawed, and constant use would drive him insane even faster than normal, if it didn't kill him first. He's used it once or twice since then, and even for him, gone nutty. The series also has Rand's first sword, his father's, marked as a blademaster's weapon which could never be damaged. It was destroyed when he stabbed Ba'alzamon with it. Rand then got the sword of King Laman of Cairhien. Even Mat has an ashandarei, a spear with a sword blade on the end. There was also Justice, the sword of Artur Hawkwing. The swords with heron marks have different degrees of coolness. Most of them are mundane and modern, albeit of excellent workmanship. The rest are relics of the Age of Legends. Most of them are just mass-produced standard issue weapon (like the Japanese WWII-era Shingunto swords, but wrought with the One Power), while the very few are individually crafted for prominent personalities. | |

The Kingdom's Disdain series: The Castle of Aldroy has a "Hall of Swords", a whole room of them. The most prominent so far is Valsofren, a sword as long as a man is tall that is said to only cut those the weilder hates, never an ally or loved one. This tragically doesn't apply to Accidental Murder. | |

In Truth and Consequences, Adrien recieves Fang, a green katana fueled by the Power Of Hate, forged by combining the powers of the Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous, and wielded by Sarutobi Sasuke, who was a past wielder of the Black Cat. It can't even be drawn from its sheath unless the wielder has enough hate for whatever they want to destroy, but is impossibly sharp in the instant after it's drawn. Sarutobi refuses to give it up until Adrien proves he's worthy of it, and puts him through hell to do so. | |

In Dragon Ball Super, Trunks has another sword (or the same was just repaired), and even though it is just a regular sword and not necessary for him to use in combat, Trunks feels comfortable to have it by his side. However, in the finale of his arc, Trunks somehow manages to create a Genkidama and transfers all the energy into his sword, turning it into the Sword of Hope and defeats Fused Zamasu with it. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire has some: Valyrian steel blades are, by definition, cool blades. There are only 200-something remaining blades in the world, as the secret of their making is lost. They are light, durable and incredibly sharp, and one of the only known weapons capable of harming the Others. Some Valyrian steel swords appearing in the books: Ice, the Stark's Valyrian steel greatsword. Longclaw, a bastard sword for a bastard, originally an heirloom of House Mormont but remade with a wolfhead pommel and gifted to Jon Snow. Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail, two swords with a blood-red coloration made from Ice. Aegon the Conqueror's Blackfyre. His sister/wife Visenya had Dark Sister. Both became legacy weapons, with Blackfyre wielded and inspiring the name of the bastard pretender Daemon Blackfyre, while Dark Sister would go on to be wielded by Prince Daemon Targaryen, Aemon the Dragonknight and Brynden "Bloodraven" Rivers. Both are currently unaccounted for. Lady Forlorn, ancestral sword of House Corbray. Heartsbane, ancestral sword of House Tarly. Other, cool swords also appear, including: Dawn. It's made from a fallen star, milky-white color, one of the few non-Valyrian blades that are on par with them Lightbringer, Azor Ahai's legendary Flaming Sword. Needle, Arya Stark's skinny Royal Rapier. Thoros of Myr's swords, set on fire with wildfire (and later, Blood Magic). The former is for pure showmanship, and he keeps needing to buy new ones because setting ones sword on fire absolutely ruins the thing. The arakh, the weapon of choice for the Dothraki, described as half sword, half scythe and capable of taking a man's arm off. |

In Kaamelott, there's of course Excalibur. Arthur Pendragon manages to pull the sword from the stone at age six (as he was chosen by the gods of Brittany), and it becomes a Flaming Sword whenever he wields it. He puts it back in the stone in Season 5 before disappearing. In Kaamelott: Premier Volet (The Movie), Arthur reclaims the sword, but it seemingly loses its powers... and regains them in the climactic duel pitting Arthur against Lancelot, only this time the flame is blue and produces lightnings. | |

Contest of Champions (2015): French heroine Guillotine's sword, La Fleur du Mal, is capable of cutting through damn near anything (it actually manages to cut an alternate Captain America's shield). And if for some reason making contact with a being is unavailable, the sword can command the souls of its previous owners to attack. This is outweighed by the drawbacks, such as the sword being alive, bloodthirsty, and that it binds the souls of its owners to it even beyond death. And also speciest. | |

In The Unhandsome Prince, the enchanted sword that Prince Hal picks up at a tavern appears to be utterly useless—one character comments, "Mr. Genius here gets the only magic sword that guarantees you'll get your butt kicked"—but it's still a cool sword, beautifully crafted from the finest quality materials. It's a "singing sword", which, as Hal explains, doesn't mean it actually sings, but that it's so well made that it emits a musical tone when tapped. It becomes even cooler once Hal figures out the trick to using it. | |

Game of Thrones: The most prized heirloom of House Stark is the enormous greatsword called Ice. It is made of Valyrian Steel, which makes it impossibly sharp. Ned used it for execution and ceremonial purposes, and in general battle, used normal swords. Jon's parting gift to his little sister Arya is a custom-made rapier she names Needle. Jon is rewarded with the Valyrian steel bastard sword Longclaw by the Lord Commander, Jeor Mormont, who felt the sword's name suited a wolf as much as a bear. Its most distinctive feature is a custom pommel of a white wolf with red eyes. Its functional coolness comes from the fact that as it's Valyrian steel, it's able to hold an incredibly keen edge. It can also block White Walkers' weapons and shatter them with one blow. Joffrey shows off his cool sword Hearteater in "Blackwater" but flees the battle without even unsheathing it. Since House Lannister lacks an ancestral cool sword, Tywin has House Stark's ancestral Valyrian steel sword Ice reforged into two swords, Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper, a status symbol only the Targaryens are known to have matched with Blackfyre, sword of the Targaryen kings and heirs and Dark Sister, Visenya's sword, though probably less because he wants two really cool swords and more because he wants to show how completely House Stark has been crushed, and to manufacture legitimacy for Lannister rule of the Seven Kingdoms. Oathkeeper lacks some of the more spectacular elements of its book counterpart (namely its highly distinctive rippling red-and-black blade), but its handle is still ludicrously baroque. Twyin gives Oathkeeper to Jaime, who in turn presents it to Brienne, who is the one to name it this. Once she swears to Sansa, Ice returns to the North... partially. Following the death of Tommen in the aftermath of the Green Trial, Jaime takes up Widow's Wail. The hilt of Roose's sword is specifically designed to resemble an inverted headless flayed man, with the guard formed by his outstretched arms. The hilts of Daario's arakh and dagger are shaped like naked women. |

In Loyal Enemies, darkans are an entire category of Cool Swords. They're extremely sharp, beautifully decorated and roughly katana-shaped. As druidic weapons, they have an inbuilt Detect Evil ability and glow green in the presence of darklings. This actually proves more annoying than useful, as the darkan used in the story is wielded by werewolf Shelena. Try to sneak up on somebody with your sword shining like a glowstick. | |

In Season Four of Stranger Things, when the prisoners are about to face the Demogorgon, one of the weapons in the cabinet can be briefly seen to be a sword that bears a striking resemblence to the one wielded by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian (1982). Turns out to be a Chekhov's Sword in the season finale, when Hopper uses it to decapitate that same Demogorgon. | |

Super Sentai/Power Rangers has a lot of these, usually given to The Hero. Many Megazords also wield swords. Back in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers there was also the Sword of Darkness which Rita gave to Tommy to keep him from snapping out of her mind control spell and in the second season the Sword of Light, used to transfer Jason, Zack, and Trini's powers to Rocky, Adam, and Aisha. |

Fate/stay night: King Arthur (Saber) has two: The Sword of Selection Caliburn and the Sword of Promised Victory Excalibur. Caliburn was the Sword In The Stone that only the true king could draw; while it was relatively powerful, it was ultimately destroyed without much fanfare. Excalibur was the replacement, a 14,000 year-old relic made by fairies from the core of the Earth itself, said to represent all the hopes and dreams of humanity. It is described as an "Anti-Army" weapon and is the key to victory in most major fights. Saber keeps Excalibur cloaked in Invisible Air because she knows it's too recognizable. Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon lets him summon the Super Prototype versions of every weapon ever created, except for a few like Excalibur which were created after his time. Since he once owned literally everything in the world, everything can be drawn from his Gate. His standard tactic is referred to by fans as the "swordspam," throwing a few dozen ludicrously powerful weapons at his opponents. His weapons include the "Sword of Rupture, Ea", a weapon that Gilgamesh alone possesses. Ea was what "Split Heaven and Earth", it existed before the world as we know it and is older than the very concept of a weapon called a "sword". When activated as a Noble Phantasm "Enuma Elish", it rips the spacetime apart, dealing incredible damage even at the lowest power and utterly obliterating anything when Gilgamesh is serious, from Servants to Reality Marbles. The only known thing that can completely block Enuma Elish is Saber's sheath - Avalon Archer's Unlimited Blade Works lets him copy any weapon he has ever seen (except Ea, which he can neither replicate, nor even analyze), most famously swords. The copies are flawed, but they are still powerful, and he can summon a lot of them. This makes him the perfect counter for Gilgamesh, who normally curb-stomps everyone. |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The sword Will makes for James Norrington in the first film shows up in all the sequels and is regularly noted as a "nice sword". It's replaced by Blackbeard's sword in the fourth movie which can control ships! It is later owned by Barbossa at the end. It seems as if the only redeeming quality of working on the Flying Dutchman under the command of Davy Jones is that you get a really kick-ass sword. Just look at Hadras's. |

(His Transformation Sequence doesn't reveal this, but that's how it works on the toy.) Vector Prime's sword Rhisling, which he posthumously gives to Optimus Prime, who uses it to slay Galvatron, Wing Saber's namesake weapons, formed from his wing flaps, Snarl's sword that doubles as a rifle, Galvatron's conjured sword, Evac's rotor-sword, and Starscream's Cyber Key-activated swords in Transformers: Cybertron. Later retconned as Cyber Caliber. |

Child of the Storm has a few: The Sword of Gryffindor, impregnated with Basilisk venom, is mentioned a few times. Twilight was wielded by Surtur, the original Dark Phoenix. Ván, the Sword of Hope, appears to be a completely unremarkable arming sword to the untrained eye - something which is lampshaded (and is implied to have made the damn thing practically impossible to find, since no one's seen it for the past million years). Despite this unassuming appearance, it is sentient (probably), layered with enchantments, made of uru and vibranium, and designed to both match Twilight and No-Sell Phoenix fire - something at which, remarkably, it succeeded. That's pretty darn cool. Harry's sword, forged for him by Uhtred, with the guidance of Tony Stark, and enchanted by Loki. It was designed along the lines of an Alfheim sabre, based on Harry's preference for speed based attacks, with a few twists. Thanks to parallel evolution, the end result is explicitly described as closely resembling the shashka, the famed sabre of the Russian Cossacks and real life example of this trope. Since this triggers more than a few Red Room based memories, this is not necessarily a good thing. After the Bloody Hell arc, it becomes even cooler, as Dracula impaling Harry with it and then blasting him with magical lightning, causes it to take on attributes of Harry's Phoenix-infused blood, and possibly gives it a bit of sentience. At this point, Harry names it Curtana, after the legendary sword of Sir Tristan. In the sequel, Harry Dresden manages to alter his blasting rod with help from Captain Luccio, and implicitly a dwarf from Nidavaellir who owed Strange a favour, using some mithril and Vibranium. What does this result in? Well, a blasting rod... that doubles as a goddamn lightsabre. |

Conan's first sword when he was just a teenager evading some wolves. He stumbles upon the barrow of a long-dead chieftain. This chieftain had been entombed with his broadsword, which was one of the earliest iron weapons to have been made since Atlantis had fallen. Despite its age, there were only a few spots of rust and was still good condition. It was a fine sword for any age and when Conan took it, the chieftain went undead leading to a fight, with Conan emerging with his first sword. Despite being otherwise mundane, this blade would be the influence for Conan's magical Atlantean sword in the movie and TV adaptations. | |

When he finds it, the sword looks like a plain infantryman's weapon.

Gundam SEED Astray takes this to wild extremes - Lowe Guele creates the Gerbera Straight katana so his Astray Red Frame doesn't run out of juice. Then, he built a 150 meter version of that sword. Then, he built the Tactical Arms for Gai Murakumo's Astray Blue Frame, with one of its forms being a sword! Later on, Lowe makes his own Tactical Arms after the Red Frame gets beat up pretty badly. | |

In Bernard Cornwall's Sharpe novels the title character wields a heavy cavalry sword. Whilst this weapon is not unusual for the period in which the books are set it is unusual for a light infantry officer to carry such a large blade. In Sharpe's Sword Sharpe was given the choice between a cool sword that was more like a work of art, a symphony designed to kill, and a mass-produced heavy cavalry sabre that had been customised with love by his friend Patrick Harper. Guess which one he chose. | |

It's a good thing it's so cool, because Noah, the latest Chosen Ones, is otherwise terribly unfit for the role.

In the old Chinese classic Fengshen Yanyi, most characters use swords, though they're usually pretty mundane and used in normal combat, some are actually cool enough to actually be a magic weapon for the user. Notable examples: Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's Treasure Sword of Moye, which when swung releases a beam of white light that instantly beheads anyone touched by it. Mo Liqing of the Four Demon Clan Generals wields the deadly Azure Cloud Sword, a sword inscribed with the four elements which, when swung, can release a storm of black, shredding wind and conjure fireballs from the sky. Princess Longji has a veritable collection of precious sword and she always use a different one in combat: she has the Double Dragon Sword, the Flying Luan note Luan is a mythical rooster-like bird often confused with the Phoenix Sword and finally the Jade Pond White Light Sword. At least the first one is powerful enough to allow her to counter other magical treasures. Lu Yue, the plague Immortal, carries around the Plague-Sending Sword, while one of his disciples wields the coma-inducing Torpor Sword. Yuding Zhenren has, as his only weapon, the Immortal-Beheading Saber, which does exactly what's implied by the name (note that the Immortals in the book have everlasting life and youth but can be killed). Luo Xuan, the Fire-Wreathed Immortal, dual wields the Flying Smoke Swords, which are implied to be on fire. Tongtian Jiaozhu possess the Four Treasure Swords, four extremely powerful, baleful swords which were created to eradicate scores of Immortals in one strike and are needed to form the Immortal-Executing Formation. They are the Immortal-Executing Sword, the Immortal-Carving Sword, the Immortal-Trapping Sword and the Immortal-Severing Sword. |

Caspian's katana sword in Astral Dawn is an example of this. It has a silver blade and is made from his center. He later creates a more powerful version with a gold blade. Another awesome sword is the sword Caspian has to find in order to defeat Devlyn, Magali's crystal blade Sword of Fracture. | |

Subverted in Beowulf. There's a lot of build-up to his use of Hrunting (any sword with a name is important). And then when he uses it against Grendel's mother it fails. He has to use a sword found in the home of Grendel's mother to defeat her. Being forged by giants makes it a cool sword in its own right, but again, Grendel's mother's blood melts the sword. When Beowulf uses Hrunting again on the Dragon, it actually breaks. |

In Highlander, Connor uses an ancient katana that was made far before its time by the genius swordsmith Masamune. The Kurgan uses a two-handed sword that can be disassembled and hidden in a briefcase.note The filmmaker's intention here is to make the Kurgan seem like a cold-blooded professional killer, but in reality this sword would be Cool, but Inefficient at best; it would break in any real fight. Fasil uses a Toledo steel broadsword that Brenda claims is worth a million dollars, and it certainly looks the part. Kastagir uses a curved Manchu scimitar, and Kim (whose fight with the Kurgan was filmed but never appeared in the film as the footage was sadly destroyed in a fire) opts for dual wakizashi. | |

Touta's "gravity sword" from UQ Holder! is a black katana that is able to alter the effect gravity has on it. It can be rendered completely weightless for effortless wielding, or it can increase its own mass to insane levels, giving it enormous striking power. The highest setting Touta has used thus far is the "10,000x" gravity multiplier, giving the sword an apparent weight of 500 tons. It was apparently created by Albireo Imma, a master of gravity magic. | |

Pretty Cure: In Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GO!GO!, the Cures gain the Cure Flurets, rapier-like swords which... they only use for a tag team finisher attack. In The Movie, it's revealed that Coco, in his human form, can create a gold one and when Cure Dream gains her movie-only Super Mode, she creates the Shining Fluret, which she promptly sword fights with against the movie's Big Bad. The opening for Smile PreCure! reveals that Cure Beauty will be able to create an ice sword. She ends up doing this in episode 25 and by episode 43 reveals that she can dual-wield them and uses them for her second finisher, the Beauty Blizzard Arrow. Averted with Cure Sword of Doki Doki! PreCure - despite the name, she does not have any sort of sword. In HuGtto! Pretty Cure, Cure Yell ends up summoning a weapon called the "Pretty Cure Sword", which bore a glowing rainbow-colored aura. However, she ends up rejecting the weapon when she realizes a sword isn't want the team needed and they end up with standard wand-like devices known as "Miracle Swords" |

Asuna's Ensis Exorcizans in Negima! Magister Negi Magi, a huge demon-banishing sword that can also cancel any magic, even wide-range area spells used to decimate entire armies. Comes in the form of a Paper Fan of Doom if you don't summon it properly. Then there's Jack Rakan. He's called "The Thousand Blades" for a reason. Speaking of Akamatsu's work. In Love Hina the Urashima family had in its possession a sword simply called "Hina". It makes the wielder become a lot stronger and better in combat, but the thing is cursed and the demon that was sealed into it will possess the wielder if they aren't strong enough. It appeared once again in Negima in the hands of an enemy who likely stole it. The blade itself is pitch black and in combat it has its own aura that resembles black flames. |

Lone Wolf: The Sommerswerd. A golden weapon said to have been forged by "a race that men would now call gods". +8 to combat skill, double damage to the undead, only good weapon that can kill a Darklord. Granted, the Darklords made plenty of weapons to use against themselves via Enemy Civil War, but those tend to be Artifacts of Doom. The Ironheart Broadsword from Book 11. It has a badass description, a name that rivals "Sommerswerd" in coolness, and is the only weapon other than the Sommerswerd that can kill the Chaos-master. Unfortunately you don't get to keep it, and if you brought the Sommerswerd, the Sword of the Sun doesn't even let you find it. Maybe it was jealous? |

The Camp Half-Blood Series: Percy Jackson's sword, Anaklusmos/Riptide, which is made of celestial bronze and can only hurt heroes, monsters and gods; it also turns into a pen and reappears in Percy's pocket if he ever throws or drops it somewhere. It can also be used as an actual pen, but it takes 9 main books for Percy to realize this. Then there's Luke Castellan's sword Backbiter, forged of both steel and bronze so it can hurt both mortal and god made from Kronos's scythe and eventually reforged into that shape. Nico di Angelo wields a black sword made of Stygian Iron. The sword has the unique ability to absorb a monster's life force when killed, thereby stopping the Resurrective Immortality of monsters. The Heroes of Olympus has Jason's Imperial Gold sword, which can also turn into a javelin. Sadly, it broke during the fight with Enceladus. Though he gets a new one from Juno herself at the end of the book. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard brings us Sumarbrander, the Sword of Summer/Jack. A sentient, floating, ''talking' sword that can kill pretty much anything, create portals into other worlds, and will boast as it does so. |

The Heroes has the Father of Swords. It's described as an absurdly large two-handed sword of dull gray that looks like something a person who'd only heard about swords in stories would think up. In the book, its current bearer is Whirrun of Bligh, who regards it as a blessing and a curse. Although the weapon looks impractical, he wields it with shocking quickness. | |

A villainous version shows up in Way of the Tiger with the sword, Sorcerak. Your character, Avenger is a Barefisted Monk ninja who avoids using weapons other than shurikens and maybe poison needles (if that skill was chosen). Instead Sorcerak belongs to his archenemy, Honoric who's the grand marshal of an army dedicated to an evil deity. Sorcerak radiates fear in enemies and will absorb opposing magic - this will prove useful to Avenger if he has a chance to kill Honoric early on. | |

Babylon 5: Londo was an accomplished duelist and member of a prominent duelling club in his youth, and owns a matched pair of cotari (Centauri duelling swords) from that period of his life. They adorn the wall in his quarters on Babylon 5, and see occasional use throughout the series. | |

In Lupin III, Goemon has Zantetsuken, a katana made out of either a special alloy or a meteorite (depending on the version), which can cut absolutely anything. (Except particularly strong enemies' weapons. And konnyaku gel.) | |

A lot of Transformers use swords despite possessing lasers. Those that stand out include Star Saber's Saber Blade from Transformers Victory and the unrelated blade known as the Star Saber (made of three Mini-cons) from Transformers: Armada. In Transformers Armada, Starscream's wing becomes a sword, and in Transformers: Animated, Megatron's rotors become his swords. (His Transformation Sequence doesn't reveal this, but that's how it works on the toy.) Vector Prime's sword Rhisling, which he posthumously gives to Optimus Prime, who uses it to slay Galvatron, Wing Saber's namesake weapons, formed from his wing flaps, Snarl's sword that doubles as a rifle, Galvatron's conjured sword, Evac's rotor-sword, and Starscream's Cyber Key-activated swords in Transformers: Cybertron. Later retconned as Cyber Caliber. In Transformers: Prime The Star Saber that Optimus Prime obtains in the episode Legacy, it glows and is really damn sharp. Megatron's Dark Star Saber is basically the same, only it glows purple, has a jagged edge, and shatters the Star Saber. Also from Prime's supplementary fiction is the Chaos Edge, one of a handful of weapons made by Solus Prime and wielded by Nexus Prime (both Cybertronian Precursors). Its abilities are never elaborated on, but hinted to be particularly nasty - Nexus actually only used it as a threat with no real intention of using it though. |

One of the first was Great Mazinger's Mazinger Blades, a pair of swords hidden in its legs and which were generally used one at a time. | |

Conan the Barbarian (1982) features two cool swords, the Master's Sword, which Conan's father makes, and the Atlantean sword that Conan finds. The Master's sword gets stolen and Conan is able to slash through it with the power of the Riddle of Steel, then uses the shards to kill Thulsa Doom. Each prop sword cost $10,000 to make. | |

Saint Seiya: Odin's cloth includes the Sword of Balmung, which is a powerful weapon capable of destroying anything its wielder wishes to. Case in point, Seiya uses it to destroy the curse on Hilda without physically harming her. | |
