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.

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.

==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.
