{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|グランドリオン|, Grandleon}} is a recurring weapon in the [[Chrono (series)]].
When used upon [[Magus]], it can lower Magus' defense massively to standard attacks. One half of the blade resides with Frog's ownership and the other half is guarded by the [[Masa & Mune|boss]] of [[Denadoro Mountains]].


==''Chrono Trigger''==
During the events of the activation of the Mammon Machine, it was revealed that the [[Ruby Knife|Ruby Weapon]] is indeed the Masamune in the past. During battle with the Mammon Machine, the Masamune is the only weapon that does not increase its attack nor defense once struck, but instead absorbs it for healing purposes.
In {{CT}}, the Masamune acts as a weapon of [[Frog]]'s, gained as an equipable item once the party travels to the [[Magic Cave]] after Frog joins the party permanently. In a flashback, [[Cyrus]] wields it to stop [[Magus]], but fails. [[Masa & Mune]] make a reference to Cyrus being the last person to successfully scale the mountain and arrive at the resting place of the legendary blade. When used upon [[Magus]], it can lower his defense massively to standard physical attacks. One [[Broken Blade|half of the blade]] resides with [[Cursed Woods|Frog's Burrow]] and the [[Broken Hilt|other half]] is guarded by the twin fiends atop [[Denadoro Mountains]]. After recovering both parts, the sword is taken to [[Melchior]] in [[Medina]] for repairs. Since he originally created the blade, a transcription of his name appears on it. The swordsmith informs the party that Dreamstone is needed to resurrect the sword and bring it to its former glory. Traveling to Prehistory, a specimen of the precious stone is received from the [[Ayla|chief]] of a [[Ioka Village|small village]]. Once the sword is repaired, it is presented to Frog.  


During the events of the activation of the [[Mammon Machine]], it was revealed that the [[Ruby Knife|Ruby Weapon]] is indeed the Masamune in the past. During battle with the Mammon Machine, the Masamune is the only weapon that does not increase its attack nor defense once struck, but instead absorbs it for healing purposes.
==Chrono Cross==
Equipping the Masamune along with the [[Hero's Badge]] greatly increase the blade's critical hit ratio.
 
After [[Dalton]] modifies the [[Epoch]], the sword can be upgraded in the [[Hero's Grave]], as part of a [[sidequest]]. If Magus is present, he will shield himself with his cape as the newly upgraded Masamune shines powerful in mid-air. Reportedly, the Masamune went missing during [[Fall of Guardia|the war]] between [[Guardia]] and [[Porre]].

==''Radical Dreamers''==
Created from the fusion of the [[Ruby Knife]] and the [[Mammon Machine]], the Masamune originally bore holy power. Generations of corrupt wielders influenced the blade to prefer evilly aligned functions. The mythic [[Einlanzer]] was created to counter the evil of the Masamune. <blockquote> "It is a holy white sword, created long ago by ancient sages along with its
demonic brother, the Masamune." - Gil </blockquote>
The sword found by [[Serge (Radical Dreamers)|Serge]], [[Kid (Radical Dreamers)|Kid]], and [[Gil]] is not specified as either the Einlanzer or the Masamune upon retrieval. However, both [[Riddel#Radical Dreamers|Riddel]] and [[Radius#Radical Dreamers|Radius]] believe the sword is the Einlanzer.

In {{CC}}, the Masamune is a blade of pure evil. It drives those who wield it insane as long as they hold it. [[Radius]] has connections with by the fact that he and [[Garai]] went to the [[Divine Dragon Falls]]. There inside the cave atop the falls they found the Masamune. As they were leaving however, the madness that comes with the sword got to Radius and caused him to kill Garai against his own will. [[Dario]] has the greatest connections with the blade in this game though. One day Dario and [[Karsh]] went the [[Isle of the Damned]] in search of the Masamune. When they found it, Dario in joy of finding it grabs the sword without thinking of the consequences and is driven to kill Karsh. Karsh is forced to kill Dario. [[Lynx]] shows not too long afterward and convinces Karsh to tell everyone demons killed Dario. This later comes back to haunt all connected to the blade and Dario. By going to the [[Forbidden Island]] in the [[Home World]], you can find Dario whom survived Karsh's attack in this world but in return he has lost his memories. Putting [[Riddel]] in your party and talking to him will initiate the Masamune to appear and convince him to slay the team. Karsh and [[Glenn (Chrono Cross)|Glenn]] are the only other characters to have phrases unique to the situation.

Defeating Dario achieves the player ownership of the most powerful weapon in ''Chrono Cross'', the [[Mastermune]]. The sword also acts as a plot device in ''Chrono Cross'', blocking the team's way into the [[Dead Sea]] forcing them to fight a former [[Garai |ally]] in the [[Isle of the Damned]].

==Etymology==
Widely recognized for his superior sword-smithing, {{w|Masamune}} was a Japanese man living in the 13th century A.D. The sword's name stems from [[Masa]] and [[Mune]], the [[Fiend]]s from which it was made. Masamune's real name is, GrandLeon, which is linked with the triple tech, [[Grand Dream]] (Master Mune). [[Frog]] (Glenn), also bear a shield with a "great lion" as a crest.
