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
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
The hilt is sticky from hydrolysis
The Know-It-All Old Man: “Apply white petroleum jelly first, then wipe it off with anhydrous ethanol.”
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
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…
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
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
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?
Only sold at select home improvement stores
Category: “Specialty Tools”
The sword pattern is slightly misaligned—it’s not symmetrical
It really bothers me when I hold it
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!
No matter who you ask, you get a slightly different legend
It’s like a game of telephone
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?
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
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
Suddenly became the talk of the town in a village on the brink of financial collapse
A Legend That Came Out of Nowhere

Can be equipped in any slot other than the arm slot
Hero: “Head!?”
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
Whoever can draw this sword is deemed worthy of being a hero
Japanese is interesting
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…

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