==Trivia== | |||
* 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]], 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. | |||
* In the original , the Star Dragon Sword's name changes when upgraded at a blacksmith from ''Star Dragon Sword'' to ''Black Dragon Sword'' and ''King Dragon Sword''. It is also the weapon which gives the highest attack boost when upgraded to Level 16 (185). In [[Suikoden II]] and [[Suikoden III]], the weapon name does not change when upgraded. | |||
* While the weapon has its own weapon class in the first two Suikoden titles and thus upgrades like no other weapon, its weapon growth in Suikoden III is the same as hammers and halberds. | |||
