Death's Scythe (死神の鎌, Death God's Sickle) is an item that is scheduled to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch. It was revealed in the August 8 Nintendo Direct.
Operation
When the wielder of Death's Scythe is winding up to attack a heavily damaged opponent, said opponent will be covered in darkness, and they will be instantly KO'd.
Origin
Death's Scythe is, as the name implies, the weapon that accompanies Death in the Castlevania series. It kills those who are hit by it, and can sometimes even be used by the playable characters; it is usually considered one of the most powerful weapons of the series.
In real life and other forms of media (including books, cartoons, and other video games), the personification of Death (or, as it is more commonly known, the Grim Reaper) is usually depicted with a scythe as its primary weapon in order to gather souls from those who have passed on.
Trivia
- The inclusion of this item marks the second occurance of a signature item of a particular character appearing as an ordinary item in the Super Smash Bros. series, the first being the Lip's Stick. Unlike the Lip's Stick, other characters besides Death have used Death's Scythe in Castlevania.
- Death also makes an appearance in the Smash series as a boss with Death's Scythe in the Castlevania stage. Lip, however, has not made any appearances in the series. (While a Sticker named "Flower Fairy Lip" appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the character on the Sticker is actually Furil from Nintendo Puzzle Collection, a similar looking but distinctly different character)
- Death’s Scythe is the first third-party item to come from a series represented with a playable character.
