Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven (神祖破天, Divine Progenitor Destroyed Heaven) is Byleth's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Byleth begins by lashing forward the Sword of the Creator in its whip form, shouting "I'll finish with this!" (これで終わります!, Here's the end!). Sothis then appears in the background and bestows Byleth her power, temporarily granting him access to his Enlightened One class. Byleth then readies the Sword of the Creator before extending it into its whip form and lashing out once more with extreme force.

Instructional quote

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Move List Byleth (SSBU) Stretch out the sword, attacking in front of you. If it hits an opponent, Sothis will lend you her strength, allowing you to unleash a powerful attack with the Sword of the Creator. This attack can hit up to three opponents.

Origin

The icon for Sword Combat Arts in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

This is an upgraded version of the existing Ruptured Heaven combat art from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Ruptured Heaven is exclusive to Byleth while wielding the Sword of the Creator. It adds 30% of the user's magic to the weapon's might and deals effective damage to dragon units. In Three Houses, Ruptured Heaven does have an upgraded version known as Sublime Heaven, attained as part of the upgraded Sublime Creator Sword when Byleth attains the Enlightened One class by fusing with Sothis in Chapter 10.

Before Fire Emblem: Three Houses, it had appeared in Fire Emblem Fates and Fire Emblem Heroes under the names Rend Heaven and Ruptured Sky, respectively. In the former game, it is associated with the Basara class, having the ability to add half of the enemy's strength or magic to the user's own strength or magic (depending on whichever stat the skill's user is currently using to attack the enemy). Conversely, the latter depicts it causing the user's damage output to be boosted by 20% of the target's Attack, and further boosting it to 40% if the target is a non-human foe. This form of the skill is considered to be an upgraded form of Draconic Aura.

Trivia

  • Byleth will attain the Enlightened One class regardless of the costume selected.
    • On a related note, Byleth temporarily attaining the Enlightened One class during this Final Smash ironically makes it impossible for this attack to be Ruptured Heaven, as it is replaced with Sublime Heaven thereafter upon accessing that class.
  • Sothis' appearance in the background consists of a simple animated image. As a result, it can be easily swapped out with any image by modders, who often do so for humorous purposes.
