The Night Sky Sword (alternatively known as the Night Sky Blade) is a divine object-class one-handed longsword used by Kirito during the Alicization arc of Sword Art Online. It reappears again as his primary weapon in Kingdom Hearts vs. Sword Art Online from the Tundra Spirit arc for the remainder of the series.
Appearance[]
The Night Sky Sword is a pitch-black one handed longsword (in contrast with Eugeo's sword) and is less than 120 centimeters (about 4 feet) in length. The sword is a divine object and is made from the wood of the Gigas Cedar, making it far stronger than any metal in the underworld. It is one of the strongest swords Kirito has ever wielded.
Background[]
The Night Sky Sword was crafted by Sadore, from the Gigas Cedar's tip, which was the part that had received the most blessings from Solus and Terraria (the sun and the earth). Kirito and Eugeo had taken it from the tree after cutting it down, and they brought it with them to Sadore's shop in Centoria, where Kirito commissioned the sword. It took a year for the craftsman to finish the sword, even breaking three black-brick whetstones from the eastern empire (which were supposed to last ten years) in the process.
Notes[]
- Kirito specified the preferred length of the sword to Sadore, thus the blade of the Night Sky Sword is the same length as his sword from Sword Art Online, Elucidator.
