Overview

The Moon Blade is a secret weapon spoken of only in legend, first brought up in Chapter 153. Its counterpart is the Sun Blade, and the old tale insists that whoever wields the pair together will attain strength that has no equal. Chasing that outcome has become the long-standing purpose of the Council of Swordmasters.

Function

Because the sword has never actually appeared, its powers are known only through the legend that binds it to the Sun Blade. On its own it is simply the missing half of the set; the promised unmatched might is said to arrive only when both blades are held by a single swordsman. Where the Moon Blade currently rests is a mystery even to the swordmasters who seek it.

No living wielder is recorded, and the blade's owner and status are both listed as unknown. Its closest tie to the plot comes during the clash with the Monster Association, when Nichirin passes the Sun Blade to Atomic Samurai and charges him with tracking down its lost twin.
