Item from Re:Zero by Tappei Nagatsuki
The legendary weapon of the first Sword Saint — a sword that judges its wielder and only manifests for the truly worthy. Reinhard carries it. It refuses to draw for him.
The Dragon Sword Reid is the weapon of the original Sword Saint, Reid Astrea — a man who was arguably the most powerful swordsman in history and definitely the most unpleasant. The sword doesn't just cut things; it judges its wielder and decides whether they deserve to use it. It can only be drawn by someone the sword considers worthy, and 'worthy' by Reid Astrea's standards apparently means something very specific and very demanding. Reinhard van Astrea — the current Sword Saint, the most powerful human alive, a man with every Divine Protection in existence — carries the Dragon Sword Reid. It will not draw for him. The most powerful warrior in the world wields a legendary sword that has decided he is not good enough. This is either a cosmic joke or a profound statement about the nature of worthiness, and the series treats it as both. When Reinhard fights, he fights with ordinary swords that shatter after a single swing because his power is too much for normal steel. The Dragon Sword hangs at his hip, silent and judging.
