Spaku-kun’s Friend

“This legendary sword was used by our nation’s hero to purify the evil tribe!”


That’s way too unsettling


Spa-kun’s Friend

It is said that when the Demon King appeared in this world, a hero chosen by lot took up
this legendary sword and challenged the Demon King.


Hero Gacha

Spa-kun’s Friends

They say that sword, which anyone can draw, is meaningless unless the hero draws it…


But someone ends up drawing it right in front of the real hero

Spa-kun’s Friends

The hilt is sticky from hydrolysis


The Know-It-All Old Man: “Apply white petroleum jelly first, then wipe it off with anhydrous ethanol.”

Supa-kun’s friend

The legendary weapon said to “shred enemies to smithereens with a single flash”—
but no matter how you look at it, it’s clearly a hammer


Its attack attribute is listed as “Blunt” too

Spa-kun’s friend

Only those who have been bathed in the blood of a hero can wield it


I’ll have to take it from the previous hero…

Spa-kun’s friend

A vague legend that says, “If someone really strong uses it, it’s really amazing.”


I accidentally let someone with a limited vocabulary slip in there

Supa-kun’s friend

It’s said that the hero of old gripped the hilt of this legendary sword and struck down the Demon King with his clenched fist


Super close-quarters combat

Spa-kun’s friend

The Legend from Two Years Ago: An elegant swing
brimming with legendary flair. Last Year’s Legend: A once-in-50-years event
. This Year’s Legend: A radiance illuminating the darkness like nothing seen in recent years.


Is this Beaujolais Nouveau?

Spa-kun’s friend

Only sold at select home improvement stores


Category: “Specialty Tools”

Spa-kun’s friend

The sword pattern is slightly misaligned—it’s not symmetrical


It really bothers me when I hold it

Spa-kun’s friend

It has a dragon motif and is embedded with large, sparkling stones—the kind sold at souvenir shops in Kyoto and Nara


I used to have one of those!

Spa-kun’s friend

No matter who you ask, you get a slightly different legend


It’s like a game of telephone

Spa-kun’s friend

It’s said that the hair growing on the handle is still growing to this day


First of all, why the heck is there hair growing there?

Supa-kun’s friend

The books only refer to it as “Legendary Sword,” but in the game, there are several items with inconsistent spellings, such as “Legendary Ken,” “Legendary Tsurugi,
” and “Legendary Ken”


It’s full of fakes

Spa-kun’s friend

It can seal away the Demon King, and it’s also great for sealing
half-eaten snacks and pre-portioned raw meat


It shines at the dining table now that peace has returned


Spa-kun’s friend

Suddenly became the talk of the town in a village on the brink of financial collapse


A Legend That Came Out of Nowhere


Nessie III

Can be equipped in any slot other than the arm slot


Hero: “Head!?”

Spa-kun’s friend

Despite being created in the Age of the Gods, it can be modified and repaired using modern technology


As expected, modern technology is more advanced

Spa-kun’s friend

Whoever can draw this sword is deemed worthy of being a hero


Japanese is interesting

Spa-kun’s friend

Legend has it that a valiant hero carried this at his waist, but
history records her as a queen


Maybe she tried to draw it but messed up…

*See all answers.
