Sunlight Heart

**Sunlight Heart** (サンライトハート, *Sanraitohāto*) was a one-handed long sword, created by Lizbeth for Kirito out of a Crystallite Ingot. Whenever Kirito used the Dual-Wield skill, he wielded it alongside his Elucidator.

## Description

Sunlight Heart is an aqua-colored, one-handed straight sword. Its grip is a darker color than the rest of the blade and is completely straight. It leads up to a crossguard that is exactly perpendicular to the grip and is designed to look like a pair of conjoined dagger blades. At the center of the guard is a large aquamarine gem.

The blade itself is a deep aqua color, the base of the blade has a light-aqua attachment that causes the blade to have a natural indentation when one traces its length due to the angle that the attachment bends at.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 7

After breaking one of Lizbeth's most prized swords, Kirito and Lizbeth set out to obtain a Crystalline Ingot on a quest on June 25, 2024. Far away on the West Mountain on the 55th Floor, there was a Dragon that was rumored to produce a rare mineral. After being pushed into the pit and spending the night there, Kirito and Lizbeth found the special ingot, which was actually the Dragon's excrement, but were stuck until Kirito managed to grab onto the tail of the Dragon, who had returned to its nest for the day. After getting back to Lizbeth's shop, Lizbeth managed to forge a sword on June 26.

After Lizbeth was scared off by Asuna, Kirito tried to console her by telling her that he gave the sword a name. But Kirito ruined the moment by lying that he changed his mind and named it "The Piece of Shit... *Dragon* Shit that is! LOL Trademark Lizbeth" followed by Lizbeth's contact info.

#### Episode 8

On October 18, 2024, Kirito was forced to use the Sunlight Heart, alongside the Elucidator, to defeat The Gleam Eyes in the 74th Floor Labyrinth in order to protect an Aincrad Liberation Front party from being decimated by the Floor Boss.

#### Episode 9

Two days later on October 20, the Black Swordsman used the Sunlight Heart with the Elucidator in his duel against Heathcliff in Collinia, but lost.

#### Episode 10

Kirito used his swords to fight a group of Scavenge Toads, after getting accidentally triggered by Yui, and attempted to fight The Fatal Scythe with Asuna, but was swatted aside within seconds.

#### Episode 11

On November 7, 2024, Kirito utilized the Sunlight Heart, along with the Elucidator, in the battle against The Skull Reaper in the 75th Floor boss room. Shortly thereafter, the swordsman wielded both blades in his fight against Heathcliff, who was revealed to be Kayaba Akihiko. As Kirito unleashed his Starbust Stream against the Guild leader, the Sunlight Heart shattered against Heathcliff's shield.

## Differences from the Original

Kirito doesn't name the sword Lisbeth makes "Sunlight Heart", or claim to name it "The Piece of Shit... *Dragon* Shit that is" etc. The sword instead comes with the name "Dark Repulser" after it is made.

## Trivia

* The name "Sunlight Heart" is a reference to the anime to "Busou Renkin", which is a show YamatoSFX and Hayabusa449 abridged before Sword Art Online, as "Sunlight Heart" was the name of a sword in that show.
* If Kirito did give the sword the name he told Lizbeth, the Japanese would be something like "クソ野郎...ドラゴンのクソのように！ www商標リズベス" (Kuso Yarō... Doragon no Kuso no Yō Ni! www Shōhyō Rizubesu).
