Weapon details IV. Credits version history: v0.1 Weapon summary compiled v0.2 First ten weapons added with story translations ___ I. Introduction ___________________________________________________________ This guide details the stories and statistics of each weapon, as well as how to obtain them. There are 65 weapons in total, and all must be collected to open up Chapter XIII in the game. For those unfamiliar with kanji and roman numerals, here is a quick chart to help: 1 I 一 6 VI 六 11 XI 十一 2 II 二 7 VII 七 12 XII 十二 3 III 三 8 VIII 八 13 XIII 十三 4 IV 四 9 IX 九 14 XIV 十四 5 V 五 10 X 十 15 XV 十五 In this guide, I use roman numerals to represent alternate episodes where the story forks. For example, in Chapter IV, the story splits into two different routes. For normal act 6, I use the arabic number, but for kanji act 6 (六), I use roman numerals VI (or vi). This is to keep the format tidier for tables. ___ II.

Story: This sword is a memento from Caim's father. As a king, his father was supremely strong, wielding the sword from his childhood, bringing much admiration from Caim. But Caim's peaceful country was later visited by the shadow of the Empire. Day by day the Empire's strength grew larger, and before long, Caim's castle was being overrun by the Black Dragon's troops. "Caim, run away with Furies," his father told him, inside the castle, as they were coming under fire. Before he could reply, his mother and father were slain before his eyes. Taking the sword of his dead father in his hands, Caim swore, "I will defeat the empire and dragon that overthrew this castle, killing my mother and father." The sword shall be used to kill people with flames of hatred. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2.

Story: A sword made from marble that constantly emits a powerful heat. It is said only those blessed by the Moon Gods, who govern the cold air, can wield this sword without being overpowered by the heat. There is one such soldier, who carried this sword onto the battlefield. He stood on the frontline, roaring. How many archers were standing in front of him... hundreds of arrows must have passed through his body. But, he didn't shed a drop of blood, he didn't lose any of his strength, even though some of those arrows must surely have passed through his heart. He and his men went on to win that battle. With victory won, he returned to the garrison. He lay the sword down and, at that very moment, ice covered his entire body. The Moon Gods' strong, magical power sealed his fate for all eternity. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3.

Story: This is the sword of a painter. A sad and lonely painter who indulged in killing people every night without blame, using their blood to paint pictures so splendid and unworldly. That painter had a dream. "If only I can make the people in the world feel calm with my pictures." He continued to paint, always thinking the same way, but... Without recognising the quality of his art, people in the streets started to look at him in a cold way, as if he were a strange person. The painter's delicate heart gradually collapsed. "Red! The red colour!! Reeeed...!!" This is what the miserable painter screamed as he continued to kill people. Finally, he took the sharp blade to his own smiling face... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4.

The sword, which was never removed from the premises, had its secret formula stolen by a soldier from the opposing country. He learned the technique and returned to his country as part of a plan. However, he was faced with a problem. He fell in love with the daughter of the family. The soldier suggested they disappear together without trace. The daughter left with him... To preserve the secret of her family, that she knew had remained secret from the beginning to this very day, she killed the soldier then took her own life.

Though blacksmiths throughout the land challenged them, none could match. One day, a minstrel appeared who had heard of their popularity. The poet, who was beautiful as an angel with a caring character, stole the hearts of the two girls in an instant. To try and capture the love of the poet, they tried desperately to make a sword for him. But in response to his requests, all they could come up with was blunt sword after blunt sword. Ignoring this, the poet made both of them his wives. Satisfied with the deep affection he afforded them, they improved their skills further, going on to create their signature sword, the "Debol'popol". - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6.

Those children lived with the saint in a similar way to a normal family. Then one time, they were attacked by scores of bandits. The children fought to save the saint, prepared to give up their own lives. Though they were wounded, they continued to fight and protect the saint and their caravan. Before long, the bandits and the guards were all dead. The saint shed tears at the scene, and gave this sword a blessing in honour of those who had died to save him. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 7.

Story: This is the largest sword in the world. No human has ever thought to use this sword until now because it has always been impossible for a normal person to wield. The owner of this giant sword, "General Bacchus", made it by melting down the armour of those he defeated, in an ostentatious display of his strength, and of his cold-blooded, merciless killing of the weak. The sword grew heavier as he took more lives. Gradually the sword became more and more difficult to carry, until noone, not even the owner himself, could wield it. Then one morning, Bacchus' body was found dead, next to it was the sword with a sheet of meat, soaked in blood, attached to it. Who on earth could have lifted this sword?... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 9.

Story: A sword with the meaning, "blaze". A wavelike blade that makes enemies' wounds bigger until they become fatal. It is said this sword started life as a normal sword like any other, a long, long time ago. In ancient times, there was a man who challenged a Dragon to a duel. The sword's blade was continually scorched by flames. With his last power, he managed to pull out the dragon's tongue, wrapped around his sword. The blade shone and became wrapped in fire, equal in strength to that of the dragon. But with that heat, the dragon and soldier turned to ash, and all that remained was this sword. Since then, this sword has retained the strength of the dragon's fire and its strong magical power, such that anyone that tries to yield it without sufficient strength is engulfed in the flame of the red lotus. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 10.

Story: There was a man who made a living, singing songs in the capital city of the country in the Far East. One day, when he was starting to feel like he'd reached the limit of his talent, he made a contract with a ghost. With the power of the ghost, he kept announcing one new song after another. All his songs were wonderful, and he began to get quite a reputation in the capital until, at last, he was made a teacher in the shogun. One day, the ghost said to this reborn poet, "You've used up enough talent for your whole life. You'll probably never be able to write a song again after this." And sure enough, just as the ghost had said, he became unable to write any more songs. Fleeing from the public, he would inflict pain on himself with this sword, and to this very day, it still shines with his blood. ___ IV.
