The Wooden Sword (木刀 Bokutō?, Wooden Blade) (also known as Wood Sword in the SNES/PS version) is a weapon in Chrono Trigger. It is Crono's initial weapon.
Effects[]
It has an attack power of 3 and can be sold for 50 G.
Etymology[]
In Japan, Wooded Swords (also called Bokuto) are Samurai training swords. Since Crono starts the game with this weapon, it alludes to his start as a swordsman. The introduction in the PlayStation release of the game depicts Crono practicing sword techniques with a wooden blade, furthering this idea.
In-game, the weapon like with all of Crono's weapons still is rendered as a katana in his sprite, only its "blade" is colored light-brown mixed with yellow. Its slashing trails are shown as small yellow-colored sparks (with slight orange outlines).
