Changes: Sword of the Thunder God

Latest revision as of 11:13, 20 January 2024

This article is about Sword of the Thunder God. For anime-only character, see Raijin.

The Sword of the Thunder God is a blade that was once wielded by Tobirama Senju.

History

The Sword was previously stolen from Konohagakure by Idate Morino after Aoi Rokushō deceived him with a promotion to chūnin. Aoi then took the sword for himself but lacked the knowledge on how to use the sword at its full potential. The sword also came with a scroll of instructions on how to properly wield it that Idate's older brother Ibiki had stolen back from Aoi. During a mission to sabotage the Todoroki Shrine race, Aoi wielded the Sword against Team 7, only for it to be broken by their combined efforts.

Appearance

The blade glowed bright yellow and was apparently infused with pure electrical energy, hence its name. The blade was unusual in that, though it appeared to retract into or emanate from the hilt or crossguard like a lightsaber (and producing the same sound).

Abilities

Thunder God Sword Telekinesis — The Sword of the Thunder God in use.

The sword itself had many uses that involved its ability to manipulate lightning. Being made of concentrated lightning, once making contact with the enemy, it would give them a strong electrical shock capable of incapacitating them afterwards. The sword was capable of producing rings of electricity that can paralyse the enemy while continuously shocking them; even magnetically suspend them mid-air. Defensively, the blade can channel its electrical properties in mid-air to block incoming attacks. As shown in Aoi's fight with Naruto and Sasuke, the blade was shown to not only be able to easily cut through any solid object, but also through chakra as well, including A-rank techniques like the Chidori and Rasengan.

Trivia

The hilt of the sword seems to resemble a vajra, mimicking the symbol of the blade's owner's clan.
Although an anime-only tool, this sword first appears in the video game Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 by the name of Raijin Sword, with the description reading, "Second Hokage's blade". It is one of the secrets within the game and is unlocked by obtaining the Silver Blade Ticket and talking to Shizune afterwards.

+The '''Sword of the Thunder God''' is a [[sword|blade]] that was once wielded by [[Tobirama Senju]].
-This sword was owned by [[Tobirama Senju]]. It was stolen from [[Konohagakure]] by [[Idate Morino]] because [[Aoi Rokushō]] told him that he could become a [[chūnin]] if he managed to get the sword. Aoi then took the sword for himself until it was destroyed by the combined efforts of [[Team 7]].
+== History ==
-The blade glowed bright yellow and was apparently infused with pure electrical energy, hence its name. The blade was unusual in that, though it appeared to retract into or emanated from the [[Wikipedia:Hilt|hilt]] or [[Wikipedia:Crossguard|crossguard]] like a [[starwars:Lightsaber|lightsaber]] (and producing the same sound), it was apparently solid and subject to stressing and being shattered when sufficient force was applied. The forces required were extraordinary, however, as a weakness in the blade had to be created first with a sustained attack from [[Sasuke Uchiha]]'s [[Chidori]], an extremely powerful lightning based attack itself, and then in order to actually break the sword it needed to be struck with [[Naruto Uzumaki]]'s [[Rasengan]] in the exact weak point that was created. Before then the sword could easily cut through both Chidori and Rasengan without harm.

-It is, however, extremely valuable from a combat point of view, as Aoi claimed that the wielder of the blade was essentially invincible. However, if one relies on the sword too much, it was proven that with skill and teamwork, a [[jōnin]] wielding the sword can still be defeated by a pair of [[genin]], albeit they were using A-rank techniques. On the other hand, it is also possible that not being the proper owner of the blade and having had no formal training on its use, Aoi simply did not know how to use the weapon to its full potential.
+== Abilities ==
-When the blade made contact with the enemy, it would give them a strong electrical shock. The sword was capable of producing electrical rings energy that can hold the enemy in mid-air while shocking them. The wielder of the blade can use this to throw the enemy a good distance away. This weapon would have been especially efficient when combined with the Second Hokage's water techniques due to water's properties as an electrical conduit.
