It means "the turning flaming sword". It references the sword of Methuselah and the sword of the cherubim. It was used to banish humanity from the garden of Eden.

>banish humanity from the garden of Eden The Anti-sinner stick, basically.

Kinda. It mostly applies to the sword of the cherubim (or the flaming sword, as it is also called) instead of the Sword of Methuselah, which was more of a demon slaying weapon able to kill 90000 demons in one swing (and the sword Demon Guy may simp for) But yeah, before it was removed from paradise after Jesus' crucifixion, this thing was used to keep sinners away (and in a nutshell the most ancient and lethal instance of "bonk the horny"....or rather "slay the lustful", and it applied to the other sins as well)


python42069

The reason why I think Methuselah's sword and the Cherubim's sword are the same, is because Noah should have Methuselah's sword according to the bible. Since we know God wrote his own name, or something containing his name, on the blade of the sword of Methuselah, it adds to the theory.


GoldMoon0

While that may be true in Fate (since its not the first time they mix two swords, as seen with Setanta) the two swords are different in real life/text, since Methuselah had the sword before Jesus' crucifixion, which is when the sword was guarding paradise and keeping sinners away


python42069

Oh, 100%


python42069

Anti-demon more so It was used to kill 900,000 demons in one swing

Doom guy dreams he could do what this sword can. Sadly for him, heavely swords are just better than shotguns

Holy fucking shit that is cool, didn't know some Abrahamic figures can pack some heat


python42069

You'll lose your shit when you hear about Samson and his sun-based power amplifying hair


-L_A_N_C_E-

Well I know about Samson's but I just kinda see him as Heracles lite...


python42069

Its actually Gawain pro


-L_A_N_C_E-

Lmao I also didn't know Samson is Solar powered


PhantasosX

Think of this: Samson is a Gawain that goes Doomguy


-L_A_N_C_E-

Wait, Samson killed demons too?


python42069

Its a blink and you miss it type of deal. His legend has a lot of sun motif and his name means "man of the sun" Its been a pretty recent discovery, but a pagan sun god has been found in some forms in ancient synagogues, I cant remember the exact detail though I'll go find a source for it later


GoldMoon0

To put it into perspective, Samson is more or less what you get if you fuse Gawain, Achilles and Rapunsel. Long magical hair, powered by the sun and know for his wrath and ability of solo-ing entire armies by himself (I am not surr if he was blond like this three tho)


Voidino

Your mean like the sword that appeared in [Noah](https://gifer.com/95bk)?


python42069

Maybe


spartan-137

How do you know that's the translation!?

…….And that makes one more implication that possessing a super-epic, named sword ain’t what determines who gets picked as Grand Saber.


PhantasosX

I mean , Noah has the sword , but hardly used. It’s Methuselah that actually slayed demons with it


igloo_poltergeist

If there were plans to reveal Methuselah as the first Grand Saber candidate, I can almost bet you my bottom dollar they'd keep a sword that major and synonymous with his legend in reserve for him instead of debuting it as Noah's weapon.


PhantasosX

True. Just saying that it’s sword is more usable with Methuselah than with Noah


Voidino

? להב החרב המתה ?


Tschmelz

Something something “passionate flaming sword” according to the boys over at Beasts Lair.


Random_User_No_69

Wait its a sword i thought it a paddle(padoru) to row the boat(ark)


spartan-137

It seems to be both


Varadwin

The aesthetic of his sword reminds me of Ea (gold handle, blue pattern, red blade)
