Editing Burning Sword

'''Burning Sword''' ({{ja|バーニングソード|Bāningu Sōdo}}, ''Burning Sword'') is [[Pyra]]'s [[Final Smash]].

Pyra summons [[Rex]], who says "Do it, Pyra!" ({{ja|いくよ、ホムラ！|Ikuyo, Homura!}}, ''Let's go, Homura!'') and performs an overhand slash to transition into a cutscene. In the cutscene, Pyra says "Yeah, on it." ({{ja|はい，レックス|Hai, Rekkusu}}, ''Yes, Rex.''), and she and Rex hold the Aegis Sword together and leap toward the trapped opponents, shouting the move’s name. The game then transitions back into normal gameplay, where Pyra and Rex summon a large pillar of fire in front of them, which then explodes; the trapped opponents are moved into the center of the pillar to prevent their escape, regardless of where they were when first hit. Pyra says "Witness our power!" ({{ja|これが私たちの力です！|Kore ga watashitachi no chikaradesu!}}, ''This is our power!'') at the end of the Final Smash. Compared to Mythra's [[Sacred Arrow]], Pyra's Burning Sword deals less total damage and has less horizontal coverage, but has much higher KO potential.

 

Up to three opponents can be trapped into the cutscene; if no opponents are hit, the move fails.

*Burning Sword, [[Sacred Arrow]], and [[Final Blaster]] are the only Final Smashes that start off with a cinematic but end in-game. The opposite holds true for [[Infernal Climax]].

**Along with {{b|Petey Piranha|Final Smash}}, these are also the only Final Smashes from DLC characters in ''Ultimate'' to contain non-cinematic elements.
