Robigus Ironside: The Red Sword (赤い剣, Akai Ken?) is the first Noble Phantasm of Gareth (Swimsuit).
The sword once belonged to the Red Knight – Ironside – whom Gareth defeated in the siege to recover Lioness. Its crimson pattern is nothing but a product of its ability to expel flames. The Red Knight’s roots can be traced back to its Fire Emblem, which is said to depict the ungovernable nature of chaos itself; a long-lost connection to the Roman God Robigus. In this work, it’s fundamentally a Noble Phantasm without a true name release, working only as a piece of equipment that Gareth uses as a weapon in her Saber version. In short, a continuously active Noble Phantasm.[1]

« The sword wielded by the Red Knight ― It was shattered in the middle of the battle, and now the crimson Demonic Sword rests beneath the earth. The one who broke the sword was none other than me. I brilliantly snapped the Red Knight's sword by wielding my spear that the Great Mage Merlin had reinforced himself. The same Great Mage has once said: The Red Knight is the embodiment of the Demon of Calamity itself. Then have you… Rid Britain from all its disasters for once? From all the calamities? ― I couldn’t reply. My silence was the omen for the endless calamities that would still threaten Britain. All that my young-self did was remain idle, just peering over the sword that lay there broken. » |

In Fate/Grand Order it also manifests as a C Ranked Skill of the same name.
Variations[]
Lupus Strikefang[]
Lupus Strikefang: Maiden Wolf’s True Sword Draw (真・乙女狼抜剣撃, Shin - Otome Ōkami Bakken-geki?) is the main Noble Phantasm of Gareth in her swimsuit.
A super-rotating slash stemming from her other Noble Phantasm, the Red Sword. A Noble Phantasm that embodies her outstanding physical abilities and skills that have been honed to the hilt. Thanks to the Demonic Sword traits, a foolproof killing blow can have its destructive power increased even more. In other words, it’s a Super Noble Phantasm built from super skills that wield a super sword.[1]
