TriviaEdit
- The has the same attack stat as the Supreme Sword of Light. This can possibly be due to the Supreme Sword of Light being strengthened by holy power, while the Sword of Shadows is strengthened by darkness.
- Many characters comment on its unsettling appearance, referencing how it is much more fitting for a villain rather than a Hero.
