Mugetsu-Ryu (無月流 Mugetsu-Ryū) is a katana used in the practice of Sword Magic.

AppearanceEdit

In the manga, Mugetsu-Ryu looks like a normal katana with an extremely long blade, reminiscent of a nodachi, with a decorated handguard, and traditional hilt-wrapping and pommel.^[1]

In the anime, however, it is given a much more distinctive appearance, sporting a western-looking red and black handguard and having the traditional yellow and red hilt-wrapping flanked by golden-colored plates on the hilt, which ends in a very ornate, carved pommel. The lacquered sheath is red.^[2]

DescriptionEdit

Mugetsu-Ryu is a sword that is used to perform various Sword Magic spells. Due to its fearsome cutting ability, Ikaruga boasted that with this sword there is nothing that she cannot slice and Erza also suspects that Mugetsu-Ryu is not just a normal sword^[3] which proven to be true as it can slice at least three of her armors.^[4]

SpellsEdit

• Yasha's Empty Flash (夜叉閃空 Yasha Senkū): A technique that allows the user to slash whatever they are attacking without touching it with the blade, shattering even Magic armor or weapons with one attack.^[5]
• Garuda Flame (迦楼羅炎 Karura-en): A technique that creates fire from the user's blade, it has the same properties as Yasha's Empty Flash, and was powerful enough to destroy Erza Scarlet's Flame Emperor Armor.^[6]
