+The '''thunderbolt blade''' is a recurring sword in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a very powerful sword and can be used as a tool in battle to call thunder and lightning.
+==Characteristics==
+The thunderbolt blade has a curved orange blade much like a scimitar but with a jagged shape meant to evoke the shape of lightning. The entire blade is covered with a golden filigree and the hilt is blue with a golden pommel and a red jewel on its crossguard. The blade also has a white section in the center of its blade which is tapered on both ends and inscribed with runes, as well as a black circle surrounded by triangles closer to the hilt. When the sword is swung in battle, it is accompanied by lightning.
