Brave Blade

Brave Blade is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is often one of the stronger and rarer weapons. It made its debut in Final Fantasy V, and it is often opposed by the Chicken Knife. The Brave Blade has two distinctive appearances: as a sprite it appears a lot like a regular sword but with a gold cross-guard with two arcs pointing upward at its end; and as a model, it is a stylish gold-and-red sword with a green gem placed at the center of its cross-guard.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy V ===
Brave Blade is (if the player has not ran away from battle even once) the most powerful weapon in the original SNES and Anthology versions, being exceeded only by the Ultima Weapon in the Advance and 2013 versions, and can only be obtained in the merged world in Moore. Its counterpart is the Chicken Knife.
To obtain the Brave Blade, the player must head to the left of the inn and go as far as possible, then go down, to two barrels in a line next to a tree. The player should then head in front of the barrels and go down into the small building and into the woods. In the woods the directions are: down, right, down, left, up, right, down. On the last direction, the party will suddenly freeze and the screen will go fuzzy, when two boxes and a old man will appear. He will tell the player to pick a box, one with the Chicken Knife, and one with the Brave Blade. The old man will still make chicken noises even if the player chooses the Brave Blade.
Brave Blade is a unique weapon in that it loses power each time the user runs from battle even before the weapon is obtained, and at its maximum power is stronger than Ragnarok. However, should the user run even once, the weapon's strength will greatly diminish. However, since the update of the Pixel Remaster in patch 1.0.7, the sword can be recharged to max power for each battle fought in to restore its power before or after obtaining the weapon. It has a starting Attack Power of 150, and grants +5 Strength.

=== Seiken Densetsu 3 ===
The Brave Blade appears as the ultimate weapon of Duran for the Light most class of the Knight path, the Paladin. It is a simple silvery steel double edged sword with a golden fin flanged cross guard studded into the ricasso of the blade and a brass rimmed leather wrapped handle. Unlike Final Fantasy's depiction of the weapon, the Brave Blade is the mark of true heroes, and lends itself only to those who have come to understand the ways and principles of being a great warrior.
