The is a katana in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It is a rusty red sword.
==Appearances==
===Castlevania: Symphony of the Night===
The Red Rust is a nearly useless sword and usually the first two handed weapon found in the game. It is always dropped by the second Bone Scimitar encountered. It is very slow, takes two hands to hold, reduces the player's attack power, and occasionally fails to swing due to a curse placed upon it. It is also not possible to swing it diagonally downward. It is also the first weapon found that can Curse enemies, which can be useful against the first Doppelganger, as it prevents him from drawing his sword.
The Red Rust is the weakest of the Katana-style 2 Handed Swords. The next sword in the series is the bamboo blade Takemitsu, which is similar, except that it doesn't jam, has a Hit instead of a Curse attack, and has a little better attack power. It is longer than most weapons found early in the game, however, and can be a great sword to equip if the player wishes to handicap themself.
===Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls===
While it is stated that the Red Rust could shatter at any moment, it plays normally without potentially failing like it did in Symphony of the Night. It is available at the start of the game once it is possible to gear. While it is one of the weakest swords, it does have the Rising Crush skill, which is required to reach higher areas in early stages, so it is good to have on hand as a support weapon.
