Galaxia is the name of Meta Knight's sword in the Kirby series. It is a gold-colored blade with multiple prongs sticking out from it's side. Galaxia was first named in the Kirby anime before becoming canon to the video games with the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Kirby: Planet Robobot both of which use the name in his Galaxia Darkness ability.
In the anime, Galaxia is described as a holy sword. Forged by the primordial being of fire, Photron, when the universe was still young. Photron imbued Galaxia with a will and life of it's own and Galaxia will only allow itself to be wielded by people it sees as powerful. If someone not worthy of Galaxia tries to wield it, they will receive a painful electric shock.
The sword itself is used in every game that Meta Knight appears in. It's his most prominent blade and Kirby can wield it in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror with the Master ability.
Trivia[]
- Galaxia's design is based on the Shichishito or Seven-Branched Sword, given as a gift by the Korean king of Baekje to the emperor of Japan during the 4th century.
