Sword of Selection
A legendary name whispered by fans, yet absent from the official records of Lugunica.
The Sword of Selection is a name occasionally mentioned in fan discussions but does not appear as a named artifact within the primary canon of Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World. While the universe features numerous magical blades and significant weapons tied to major plot points, such as the Witch's Scabbard or the Demon King's Greatsword, no official record confirms an item by this specific title.

Lore & Background
Scholars within the world might speculate on its existence if rumors spread among adventurers, but from an external perspective relying on established canon, the item remains undocumented. The confusion may stem from the significance of 'selection' in the narrative, particularly regarding Subaru's Return by Death or the political selection of a new royal candidate, neither of which involve a specific sword.
In Their Own Story
A dusty tome lies open in the Royal Library, its pages filled with illustrations of famous blades. A researcher searches for the Sword of Selection but finds only blank margins where such an entry should be. They close the book, realizing that some legends are born from hope rather than history, leaving the name as a mystery without a master.
Reader's Guide
Since this artifact is not part of the established canon, no mechanics or limitations can be verified. Fans often associate names like this with plot devices involving choice or destiny. In actual gameplay or lore discussions, users should look to confirmed items such as the Witch's Scabbard for magic containment or Crusch's sword for combat prowess. Attempting to use non-canon terms in official contexts may lead to confusion regarding the true history of Lugunica and its magical systems.
