==History==
Brave originally wielded a simple, nameless sword in Quest Gamer Level 1 form, but it was destroyed by Genm. When he transformed again to face the Aranbura Bugster in the old church, the Legendary Sword was summoned by the game field, rusted and stuck in a stone. He triggered his Quest Gamer Level 2 transformation, prompting Aranbura to try and attack his hostage, but Brave rushed to the sword and pulled it from the stone, slashing Aranbura across the back to stop his attack. The sword then burst off its outer coating to reveal the Gashacon Sword Fire Mode.

==Ganbarider==
The Gashacon Sword is also among the various Rider Weapons used by Ganbarider in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
==Behind the Scenes==
In filming, the Gashacon Sword (not counting its original rusty version) has three props: full Fire Mode, full Ice Mode, and a version with one attribute on each side for use during the scenes of Brave changing the weapon's mode and the blade spinning around.
In outdoor stage shows, the Ice Mode prop for the Gashacon Sword is actually a prop casing (most likely made out of rubber) wrapped around the Fire Mode blade portion of the prop. This becomes especially clear when the prop casing is not put on properly, resulting in the Gashacon Sword looking as if its blade was "drooping".
==Notes==
*Unlike any other weapons of Gamer Riders in Ex-Aid, the Gashacon Sword had to be retrieved from its starting location in the game field instead of appearing in the Rider's hand. After its first acquirement, it can be immediately summoned like other Gashacon weapons.
**It being embedded in a stone references , a well-known chapter in involving a sword stuck in a stone that only the fated next king can remove, though similar tales also appear in other mythologies such as the Legend of Zelda game series with the Master Sword.
*Aside from its upside-down cross guard and non-segmented blade, the Gashacon Sword's original rusted form appears almost identical to Kamen Rider Kuuga's Titan Sword.
*The handle of the Gashacon Sword was later retooled for Gashacon Parabragun.
