Red Lotus Saber concept art in Mega Man X: Command Mission.
Red Lotus Saber is a weapon from the Mega Man X series that appeared in Mega Man X: Command Mission and Mega Man X DiVE.
Mega Man X: Command Mission[]
Red Lotus Saber, known as "Gurenken" (紅蓮剣 "Crimson Lotus Sword") in Japan, is Zero's ultimate weapon in Mega Man X: Command Mission, available by defeating Fourtails in Central Tower after completing the game.
The Red Lotus Saber is a giant flaming blade that drains all of Zero's Armor and Shield and channels it into Power, and unleashes it in a fire elemental triple slash called the Bone Slicer. Although there are three elemental weapons with slightly more Power, Red Lotus Saber causes more damage due to hitting three times per turn, while the other three weapons only hit once. It is also Zero's fastest weapon due to having Weight 0. However, since the blade drains so much power, it almost completely annihilates Zero's defense stats, making him extremely vulnerable.
Combined with two Heat Hazes, this weapon can hit nine times per turn, being able to defeat near every enemy weak to fire in few turns, including Depth Dragoon, and Black Zero Hyper Mode's Power and Speed boost further enhances it. As the Sub Weapon Oil Can reduces fire resistance, having one or more allies with it will also improve the damage against other enemies.

Mega Man X DiVE[]
Red Lotus Saber, known in Japanese as "Shin Gurenken" (真紅蓮剣 "True Crimson Lotus Sword"), is a S rank melee weapon in Mega Man X DiVE. Instead of being completely made of flames, this version of the weapon has a physical blade shaped like a flame that emits flames. Its first upgrade allows the weapon to cause the burn status effect, and when fully upgraded it can also release a large pillar of fire from the user's position.

Etymology[]
Guren (紅蓮) is a Japanese word meaning "crimson-colored lotus flower" that is usually compared to the color of a flame of a burning fire. In Buddhist terminology, Guren is also an abbreviation for Guren Jigoku (紅蓮地��), which is the seventh of The Eight Cold Hells, whose intense cold is said to torn the skin of those who fell here after death, and their exposed blood looks like a crimson-colored lotus flower. The Japanese names of the Mega Man X DiVE skills Fiery Pursuit (業火の追撃, "Hellfire Pursuit") and Red Lotus Salvo (紅蓮の業火, "Guren Hellfire") may be an allusion to the latter.
