When the Eye of the Dragon is fitted into the Dragon Sword’s hilt, it unleashes the spiritual power of the Dragon hidden in the blade. The weapon in this state is called the True Dragon Sword, and its incredible power is unrivaled. The bearer of this divine weapon must possess the physical strength, vigorous spirit, and proficiency of techniques necessary to wield it properly. If a weaker being were to attempt to use it, the blade may very feed on the bearer’s soul. The immense power contained within the True Dragon Sword upsets the delicate balance of a peaceful world, and it is argued that there are very few instances in which such a powerful weapon should be allowed to exist. Thus, it has become customary to store the Dragon Sword and Eye of the Dragon in separate locations. It may be safe to assume that all life – malevolent or otherwise – should be wary, as young Hayabusa has not only located the Eye of the Dragon, but also combined it with the Dragon Sword!
