Yamato's Sword
大和的刀
This is an ancient blade handed down through the generations, and it now rests in Yamato’s hand. In her eyes it has never been a mere weapon; when others praise the sword, she has only one thing to say:
“It's family.”
“它是家人。”TL
The blade is indeed a family heirloom. When Dynamo asked, she readily admitted as much, but would say little about its history:
“It is.”
“是的”
Apollo carries an heirloom sword of his own, yet when he sought common ground she flatly refused it: “You don’t understand.” On that, see Apollo's Ancestral Blade.
Toward outsiders who come too close, she shows no mercy:
“Touch it, and you die.”
“碰它一下，你就没命了。”TL
So cherished a thing has drawn covetous eyes as well. Paradox of Paradox makes no secret of hungering for it, and once declared:
“I can't wait to steal that sword.”
“我迫不及待地想拿那把刀”
When Violet painted Yamato, she was certain that the blade was what anchored the whole portrait:
“That blade anchors the piece.”
“那把刀撑起了整幅画。”TL
She has also asked Yamato if she could see the sword for herself.
Word on the Street
“Who would've guessed the woman swinging an antique didn't survive?”
“谁能想到这个挥舞着古董的女人竟然没能活下来？”
