The '''thunderbolt blade''' is a recurring sword in ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a very powerful sword and can be used as a tool in battle to call thunder and lightning.

==Characteristics==
The thunderbolt blade has a curved orange blade much like a scimitar but with a jagged shape meant to evoke the shape of lightning. The entire blade is covered with a golden filigree and the hilt is blue with a golden pommel and a red jewel on its crossguard. The blade also has a white section in the center of its blade which is tapered on both ends and inscribed with runes, as well as a black circle surrounded by triangles closer to the hilt. When the sword is swung in battle, it is accompanied by lightning.

In addition to melee attacks, the sword could be used during combat as an item which would have the effect of casting [[Woosh]], but with a visual effect of lightning.
