Legendary Holy Sword

The legendary holy sword is permitted only for heroes to wield.
Now is the the time to unsheathe it, swing down with strength, and thrust with all your might.
The ruthless blade will cleave all things; its mercilessly sharp tip will pierce and shatter through all.
JRA Portraits of the Buccephalus[1]

Durandal was a Japanese racehorse that was active from 2001 to 2005. Known for his difficult temperament and an exciting racing style in sprint races, many fans referred to him as the "The Holy Sword of the Turf" (ターフの聖剣 Turf no Seiken).[2]

Name Origin

His name is based on the legendary sword of French epic literature, Durendal, the sword of Roland in "The Song of Roland". According to legend, the sword was able to cut through giant boulders with a single strike, and was indestructible.[3]
