Appearance

The Fire Sword has two appearances. The first form is that of a dark red sword with a red gem at the base of the blade before it joins with the guard.

The second appearance is its true form; the fire elemental Efreet. A red giant with a lion-like mane, horns, and dragon wings.

Power

The Fire Sword is an incredibly powerful sword, said to be on par, if not slightly stronger, than the Raijin-Ken.

The owner of the sword gains the ability to use fire spells beyond their own ability.

History

The history of the Fire Sword is unknown. Efreet, the spirit of the sword, has stated that he is 300 years old.

At some point in the past, the Fire Sword came into the possession of Ninja Master Gara, but he was unable to master it, and left it as a trap in his castle.

The Fire Sword eventually comes into the possession of Dark Schneider. While moving through Gara's Ninja Fortress, to try to rescue the kidnapped Tia Noto Yoko, Dark Schneider and Princess Sheila Metallicana run across the sword. Sheila attempts to pick up the sword, but the sword is trapped, and poisoned, causing Sheila to attack Dark Schneider, and poison him. Efreet emerges from the sword immediately after, forcing Dark Schneider to battle him. After Dark Schneider defeats Efreet in battle, he submits to Dark Schneider, and accepts him as the master of the sword. Dark Schneider takes the sword with him, and uses it in battle against Gara.

Dark Schneider carries the sword with him until his fight with Kai Harn, where he uses the sword to break Kai's weapon and armor. The sword disappears from Dark Schneider's possession after being partially petrified by Kai's use of the Talas spell.

The sword later returns to Dark Schneider during his fight with Arshes Nei. Having sensed his master was in danger, Efreet flies to aid Dark Schneider, who has had his magic inhibited by Nei's Def Leppard spell. Efreet eventually sacrifices himself, by throwing himself, and Nei's Raijin-Ken, into the orb created by Def Leppard, destroying the orb, and freeing Dark Schneider's magic.

The sword again returns to its master during Dark Schenider's fight with Lich. After being thrown into extra dimensional space by the Lich's use of the Gillian Ian spell, Dark Schneider and Arshes Nei find their swords in the extra dimensional space. The spirits of the swords use their powers to protect their masters. Once Lich reopens the portal, in an attempt to kill Gara, Dark Schendier and Nei escape with the help of Efreet and Nue. Dark Schneider then uses the Fire Sword to kill Lich.

Dark Schneider eventually regains the sword after journeying to Hell, and wields the sword for a short time in his fight against Porno Dianno, blocking one of her attacks with it.

Four years after the crash of King Crimson Glory, Dark Schneider is seen to still be in the possession of the sword. The sword is seemingly destroyed when the demon Conlon destroys Dark Schneider's body, however it returns when Dark Schneider rebuilds his body. The sword makes its final appearance as Dark Schneider transforms into his Majin Mode, vanishing from his possession after the transformation has occurred.
