Background / History
The sword first appears in Molly’s hand when a dark-blue bead becomes her Transformation Device and she transforms into a magical girl. Although the weapon initially seems inert, Molly uses it to develop Basic Swordsmanship through repeated, precise practice 1 3.
Monster Demon fragments reveal another function: the sword absorbs them and conveys new techniques to Molly. Later, Molly discovers that Sword Intent can mend its damaged blade, while absorbed Divinity can repair and strengthen it further 5 6 42 63 79 100.
The God of Desire knows the sword’s origin but offers to explain it only if Molly becomes her agent. She also warns that other Demon Gods would hunt Molly if they learned she possessed it. Molly rejects the proposed contract, leaving the sword’s origin undisclosed 99.
Appearance
In Molly’s transformed form, Broken Sword is a silver-white blade with a chipped edge and a conspicuous damaged gap 3 42.
- Its balance improves after Molly partially mends the gap with Sword Intent 42.
- After absorbing Hypnosis Divinity, its silver-white body begins turning purple-black, with violet light and a sinister aura 100.
- A small purple-haired, purple-eyed girl emerges from the blade and calls Molly her master; she resembles Little Mo but behaves differently 100.
Abilities & Skills
Monster Demon Shard absorption
The sword absorbs fragments or shards left by defeated Monster Demons, sometimes automatically 6 61.
- Shards can increase Molly’s Holy Judgment proficiency 21 61 74.
- Energy returned through the sword can replenish her stamina and heal wounds 61.
- A sufficiently small fragment may be absorbed without unlocking a new skill 6.
Skill transmission and attacks
The sword conveys techniques to Molly and serves as the weapon through which she releases them 5 6 61.
- Warrior’s Breathing Technique — received after the sword absorbs a Slime fragment 5.
- Holy Judgment — unlocked through a Corrupted Tentacle Monster fragment; Molly channels its light-element finishing attack through the blade 6 61.
- God-Demon Sacred Annihilation Slash — a single-use super finisher unlocked after the sword absorbs God of Happiness Divinity 79.
- Bloodshed — a passive skill granted after Hypnosis Divinity is absorbed; it raises Molly’s damage as her HP falls, up to a 50% bonus 100.
Repair and divine absorption
Molly can direct Sword Intent into the damaged blade, but her first attempt exhausts her Sword Intent after mending only part of its gap 42.
- The sword independently absorbs remaining Desire Divinity and grows stronger 63.
- God of Happiness Divinity and Hypnosis Divinity each produce further repairs and new abilities 79 100.
Relationships
- Molly / Magical Girl Pale — wielder and the person addressed as “master” by the girl who emerges from the blade. Molly trains with the sword, repairs it and seeks to learn its origin 3 42 99 100.
- Little Mo — a companion associated with Molly’s Transformation Device who later emerges from the sword. She does not remember the purple-black girl who appeared there moments earlier, leaving their connection unresolved 46 100.
- God of Desire — knows the sword’s origin and uses that knowledge in an attempt to recruit Molly 99.
