Once [[Neclord]] reappeared, however, Viktor reluctantly returned to the Cave of the Wind with [[Kahn Marley]] and [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] to retrieve it. Enraged at having been abandoned, the Star Dragon Sword attacked the group but was subdued and agreed to be used again after Viktor groveled for its aid. Later, it helped in slaying Neclord once and for all together with [[Sierra Mikain]]. It also inspired the blacksmith [[Tessai]] to join the New State Army. | Once [[Neclord]] reappeared, however, Viktor reluctantly returned to the Cave of the Wind with [[Kahn Marley]] and [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New State Army]] to retrieve it.

Edge would use the sword to earn a living, wagering it in duels against passing travelers, much to the sword's consternation. Once Edge was defeated by the [[Fire Bringer]], both he and the Star Dragon Sword would be pressed into service. Following the [[War of the Champions]], the Star Dragon Sword would encourage Edge to travel south in order to find and defeat a new foe. | |||

* The Star Dragon Sword's name would be more properly translated as the Constellation Sword. The Star Dragon Sword gained its name through Konami's translation of [[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]], when they translated the kanji making up the name of the Star Dragon Sword/Constellation Sword individually - thus 星辰剣 became Star (星) Dragon (辰) and Sword(剣), rather than Star Sword. The name Zodiac Sword is popular in the fan community, and was used in the fan translations of [[Gensosuikogaiden Volume 1|Suikogaiden Vol.1]] and [[Gensosuikogaiden Volume 2|Vol.2]]. | * The Star Dragon Sword's name would be more properly translated as the Constellation Sword.
