Flame Sword

Flame Sword (フレイムソード) is Sword Man's special weapon. It's a close range weapon, but is capable of igniting things, such as the Thorn Vines in Search Man's stage. It's especially useful on Search Man himself, when he's hiding in his bushes.

Also notable, this weapon is the most effective special weapon for fighting the second form of Dr. Wily's Wily Machine.
