It thus comes as hardly any surprise that the sword is originally referred to as Roy's "Toughsword" in the Japanese version of ''Awakening'', where it reinforces the homage that has thus far been paid towards the bulwark nature of not just Roy's resolve, but also his insistence on up-keeping a certain decorum, even when faced with the threat of impending danger.

Roy's Blade (ロイの硬剣, Roi no kataken, lit. Roy's Toughsword) is a special Sword that hails from Fire Emblem: Awakening. Contrary to what its name suggests, this sword is not specifically bound to the character of Roy alone, and can instead be wielded by any sword-user who has attained at least a D rank in sword proficiency. In a manner reminiscent of Leif's Blade, however, this sword could potentially have been designed to reflect various characteristics that its namesake possesses; for one, the blade's fairly high Might value of 8 could essentially function as an allusion to the indomitable nature of the spirit that he is wont to adopt, in spite of the heavyweight responsibilities that are mounted upon him as the appointed leader of firstly, the Pheraen Army in Eliwood's stead, followed by the Lycian Army, and finally the Etrurian Army in the course of Binding Blade. The blade's possession of such a competent Might is complemented by its high Hit Rate and fairly substantial Critical Rate, both of which essentially function as attributes that allude to the calm, cool and collected composure that Roy is inclined towards, one that he stalwartly displays even in the face of adversity. It is through the employment of such a demeanour that Roy has been able to effectively tap on the rich reserves of his tactical genius, where he, instead of acting out of rashness, is known to have weaved brilliant strategies that have proven to be more than efficacious in bolstering his achievement of resounding victories in the battles that he leads his troops into partaking. This could also be why it is called the "Toughsword" in the Japanese version, referring to his strength even when in danger.
