Brave Sword

The Brave Sword is an ancient, enchanted weapon originating from the planet Konats. During the devastating war between the Konatsians and the colossal monster Hirudegarn, Tapion and his younger brother Minotia used their Hero's Flutes to immobilize the beast. While Hirudegarn was held at bay by their music, a Konatsian Wizard brandished the Brave Sword and sliced the monster in two, sealing each half within the bodies of the two brothers.

The sword's enchantment makes it uniquely effective against Hirudegarn, capable of inflicting real damage on a creature that most conventional attacks cannot touch. Tapion carried the blade throughout his long imprisonment within a music box and continued to wield it after being freed on Earth during the events of Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon.

A Gift for Trunks

After Hirudegarn's final defeat, Tapion entrusted the Brave Sword to young Trunks, telling him that the blade was always meant for him. This gesture references the fact that Trunks' future counterpart, Future Trunks, is famously associated with his own sword. Trunks kept the Brave Sword as a cherished memento of his bond with Tapion and later co-founded the Kikoukenjutsu Sword School alongside Goten.

The exact relationship between the Brave Sword and Future Trunks' weapon remains debated. Some sources state they are the same blade from different timelines, while Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot describes them as merely sharing a similar design. Regardless, both swords occupy an important place in the Trunks legacy across multiple timelines.
