Laser Blade

This article is about a weapon in the Metal Hero Series.

Laser Blade (レーザーブレード, Rēzā Burēdo^?) is the name of the Space Sheriff's signature sword.

List of Laser Blade[]

Gavan[]

A single-handed sword that serves as Gavan's main weapon. At first, it is a normal steel blade, hidden in his left forearm when not in use. When Gavan channels Dynamic Laser Power (ダイナミックレーザーパワー, Dainamikku Rēzā Pawā^?) from his palm, it turns into a sword of light. Its signature finisher is Gavan Dynamic. In the movie Gokaiger Vs. Gavan, Gavan showed a function of his sword, which the blade can be turned into a ribbon, much like Shaider's Laser Whip.

This sword was then handed over to Geki Jumonji, who has become the new Space Sheriff, Gavan Type-G. Geki launches a different finishing attack with the first Gavan, known as Gavan Hyper Dynamic.

Sharivan[]

A single-handed sword that served as Sharivan's main weapon, hidden in his left hip compartment when not in use. By injecting Solar Energy (ソーラーエネルギー, Sōrā Enerugī^?), it demonstrates three times the sharpness of its original state. It is then able to perform its signature finisher, Sharivan Crash.

This sword was then handed over to Kai Hyuga, who had replaced Den as the new Sharivan.

Shaider[]

Statistic

• Total Length: 100 cm
• Weight: 1 kg

The photon energy sword, serves as Shaider's main weapon. It can be transformed into a whip called Laser Whip (レーザー・ウィップ, Rēzā U~ippu^?). Its signature finisher is Shaider Blue Flash. It cannot be used unless the user's energy and concentration are narrowed down to the limit^{[note 1]}. Unlike Gavan and Sharivan, energy is injected into the blade with the right hand, so once the energy is injected into the left hand, the energy is injected into the right hand again. In the series, Shaider often showed a pattern of firing a Shaider Blue Flash after attacking with a combination of his Laser Blade and a weapon stolen from the enemy.

This sword was then handed over to Shu Karasuma, who had replaced Dai as the new Shaider.

Estevan[]

Just like the three main Space Sheriffs, Estevan was also armed with a Laser Blade while fighting, also used to launch the signature finisher, Estevan Aggresion.

Laser Blade Origin[]

Laser Blade Origin (レーザーブレードオリジン, Rēzābu Rēdo Orijin^?) is a Laser Blade that was once used by the first Gavan. It was destroyed during the battle with Makuu, but was rebuilt on Juspion's hometown of Planet Ejin.

After being handed over to Geki to replace his broken sword, Geki uses this sword by launching a new finisher, Gavan Cosmic Dynamic (ギャバンコズミックオールダイナミック, Gavan Cosmic Dynamic^?).

Notes[]

• In the early part of the series, it was a sword with a short blade, and the grip was engraved with a mold with the motif of the Planet Bird's emblem^{[note 2]}. Later, there was an accident that broke the sword during shooting, which changed in the middle series to a longsword, along with the previous pattern to a mere striped groove.
• When it shines, it is mainly processed by optical composition. However, from the middle series, a scene where a fluorescent sword for special effects is used due to realistic light adjustment and composition.
• In the Tagalog dub of Shaider, Laser Blade was changed to Shaider Cutter and Shaider Blue Flash finishing move was changed to Shaider Super Slash.
