True White Fang

Growth-type swordLast documented retrospectively; later custody is not established

The True White Fang is Kraugel's legendary silver sword, initially called White Fang, and is made from Bunhelier's fang. Its concealment effect and dangerous dragon-linked curse accompany its considerable combat performance. (Chapters 241, 352, 461, and 1360)

History

White Fang and the early duels

Kraugel first appears carrying White Fang after acquiring it from the great demon Drasion, whom Sword Saint Muller had defeated. He relies on the legendary sword in his early confrontations with Piaro and Grid, and it remains his recognizable weapon through several National Competitions. (Chapters 241, 349, 352, 423, 754, and 772)

True White Fang and Bunhelier's curse

By Chapter 461, the weapon is identified as the enhanced +9 True White Fang. The supplied evidence does not show the exact enhancement event, so its transition from White Fang to True White Fang cannot be reconstructed more precisely here. (Chapter 461)

Later explanation identifies the blade's material as a fang of the evil dragon Bunhelier and connects that origin to the curse called Bunhelier's Gaze. Kraugel's acquisition of White Fang also disrupted Baal's plan to unleash Nevartan on the Saharan Empire, though the supplied retrospective does not describe the full causal sequence. (Chapters 1360 and 1761)

Abilities and properties

  • White Fang can spread a white cloud around the battlefield to conceal Kraugel's body. The effect does not make him impossible to locate against sufficiently high insight and specialized detection. (Chapter 352)
  • The sword is durable enough to strike the God Hands, but those attacks only stiffen the autonomous hands briefly rather than destroy them. (Chapter 423)
  • As +9 True White Fang, it contributes to an extremely damaging counterattack that bypasses most of Grid's defense. The scene also involves Kraugel's counterattack skill, so the full result should not be assigned to the sword alone. (Chapter 461)
  • Its Bunhelier-fang origin carries Bunhelier's Gaze, a curse that draws the dragon's attention and pursuit. Exceptional material therefore brings an exceptional risk to its wielder. (Chapter 1360)
  • The blade channels Kraugel's sword skills, including Space Sword and Condemnation Sword, but those techniques belong to Kraugel's class rather than being built-in powers of True White Fang. (Chapters 754 and 772)

Ownership and custody

Holder or custodianRelationship to the item
KraugelDocumented owner and wielder throughout the sword's active appearances. Other weapons are compared with True White Fang, but no supplied scene shows another person taking custody. (Chapters 241, 349, 550, 754, and 772)
Later custodyThe latest supplied reference looks back on Kraugel obtaining White Fang rather than showing him currently wielding it. The evidence establishes its historic importance but not its final physical location after its active appearances end. (Chapter 1761)
