History Main / FlamingSword

** Both also appear in the fangame ''VideoGame/GensouSkydrift'' as part of their respective owners' [[LimitBreak Last Words]], although only Flande uses hers to attack directly.

* Kyojuro's Flame Breathing [[spoiler:and Tanjiro's Sun Breathing]] in ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' are actually subversions. Their attacks are associated with the movement and power of fire and in the anime are visualized to look as if their blades are on fire, but in reality their techniques are just highly advanced sword techniques and the flames are special effects. [[spoiler:However, this is played straight when Tanjiro's first use of Sun Breathing is supplemented by Nezuko's recently-developed Demon Art of setting her blood on fire.]]

* [[https://thecrewofthecoppercoloredcupids.wordpress.com/2020/03/24/cupid-comic-19-perspective/ One]] ''Webcomic/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids'' strip showed that Sneernobiel the Self-Righteous has one, and appears to be of the opinion that it's cooler than Cupids' bows and arrows.

* In ''The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands'', the most powerful weapon that you can develop for your guards and warriors is the flaming sword, which is made through the solar forge - a magical forge developed by your alchemists. The flaming sword is an improvement of the already formidable steel sword.

%%* Rohan's weapon of choice on ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog''.

** The Balrog in ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' has one of these, [[DualWielding along with]] [[WhipItGood a fiery whip]].

* The Balrogs in Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium (''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'') wielded not only a flaming sword, but also a flaming cat-of-nine-tails [[WhipItGood whip]]. Well, the one in ''The Lord Of The Rings'' used a flaming sword at least. Gothmog (the leader of the Balrogs) used a flaming axe, the weapons of the other Balrogs are not known, but were presumably flaming as well. Also, while Andúril is not on fire, it does shine "as though on fire." Even more, Túrin son of Húrin has his own blade, which after a very [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina-esque speech]], he thrusts in the air and a great fire leaps up all around him. One of Gurren Lagann's writers just has to have read that for Kamina. At one point Andúril did burst into actual flame, courtesy of Gandalf the White. Also, the Witch-King's sword has red flames during his encounter with Gandalf, just as depicted in the extended movie version.

* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', Alibaba Saluja's sword becomes fused with the fire Djinn Amon, thus allowing him to utilize the power of its flames. Later on, his sword gets bigger the more he uses its power, and gradually it gets to the point where it's completely enveloped in flames.
* In ''Literature/KazeNoStigma'', Ayano has Enraiha, a wooden sword always in flames, other than the times she gets disarmed and Enraiha is on the ground.
* In ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', through a unique mishap involving a virtual [=MMORPG=] and a RealityWarper feather; both Syaoran and Kurogane end up with flaming swords outside of the game as well.
* Shishio in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''. It's a particularly nasty one, too. Instead of using magic or a napalm-like substance, Shishio's sword burns because, after using it to kill countless people, the blade's serrations have become filled with human fat. One spark from a clash of swords, and all the fats and oils the sword's soaked up go into a blaze.
* Hiei in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' occasionally uses the Sword of the Darkness Flame. Kuwabara's Rei-ken is a combination between this and a LaserBlade, since it's made of his own {{ki|Manipulation}}.
* Signum's Laevatein in ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' is both this ''and'' a WhipSword. Bonus points for being named after the mythical Norse sword that will bring about the end of the world, and for Signum (a.k.a. "Blazing General") bearing resemblance to ArchangelMichael (a.k.a. "Strategos of the Heavenly Host"). When using ''Karyu Issen'', Signum [[spoiler: and Agito]] create a shaft of flames and holds it as if it were a sword. By swinging her arm, she can throw the condensed flames against enemies that are far away.

* Shana of ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'', [[PlayingWithFire contractor to the Flame of Heaven]], can set her sword on fire. It makes a complement to her large [[HotWings flaming wings]], fireballs, and hair.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** [[TheLancer Zoro]] once had all three of his swords on fire during a firestorm, and used them to great effect during the Little Garden Arc. Also, he can apparently light his swords on fire with the force of his swing, which he used to defeat [[spoiler: Ryuuma]]. May also qualify as a DesperationAttack.
** Hannyabal uses a flaming ''naginata'' called Kessui.
** Fossa of Whitebeard's Commanders is able to set his sword on fire, by lighting it with his [[CigarFuseLighting cigar]].
** Kin'emon has a fighting style revolving around this, to an extent. Zoro later learns to copy his technique, and uses it to great effect in the Wano Country arc.
** Caesar Clown can create a flaming sword by compressing oxygen in the shape of a sword with his powers, and then lighting it on fire.
** Charlotte Oven of the Big Mom Pirates can ignite both his sword and [[WreathedInFlames himself]] by using his Devil Fruit power, which allows him to increase an object's heat.

* ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''; a HumongousMecha with a [[CallingYourAttacks Blazing Sword!]]
* In ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', Hikaru's sword does this in a variation: [[EmpathicWeapon it only ignites if someone that isn't her touches it]]. Later, in the anime version's second season, the Rune God Rayearth's sword is almost constantly alight. When the series got into ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT'', the flame sword became her most powerful solo attack, surpassing her signature, named spells like Flame Arrow or Ruby Lightning.
* Variation done in ''Anime/CodeGeass''. The Japanese [[HumongousMecha Knightmare Frames]] wield superheated {{chainsaw|Good}} {{katanas|AreJustBetter}}, with General Tohdoh having a customized version with rocket thrusters.
* ''Manga/FlameOfRecca'' has Saiha's En Jin, which focuses Recca's flame into a fire blade [[BladeBelowTheShoulder attached to his wrist]].
* Madoka Mawari has two in ''Manga/TenjhoTenge''. She also burns her skirt off to give herself higher mobility while using them.

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'':
** Isidro's Salamander Dagger, a gift from the witch Flora, has a blade crafted from molten lava and crawls with the spirits of fire elementals. A stab from it can unleash a burning power that's hot enough to melt steel.
** During the Kushan invasion of Vritannis, when Guts and Serpico are fighting the sorcerer Daiba and his giant water elemental familiar the Kundalini, Schierke comes up with a spell to enable Guts to counter the serpent's water cannon and make its true body vulnerable. Using the same spell she employed earlier to destroy a group of Daka with a wheel of fire, she superheats Guts' BFS so that it vaporizes the water it touches into steam.
* In ''Anime/YuGiOh'', the Flame Swordsman's [[CallingYourAttacks Flaming Sword of Battle]].
* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'':
** Stiyl Magnus and his fire demon Innocentius both wield swords of solid flames.
** Fiamma of the Right's flaming sword also doubles as a {{BFS}} that's '''''forty kilometers long'''''.
** A minor antagonist named Richard Brave wields Lævateinn, a flaming sword of his own creation that uses a combination of magic and science to work. Unfortunately, creating this weapon caused the Magic Side to condemn him as TheHeretic for violating the laws separating Science and Magic. Richard swore revenge for this injustice and for the Magic Side dissing his awesome creation.
* The sword Kurikara in ''Manga/BlueExorcist''.
* An inversion appears in ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'' with Tsukiumi's Water Blade.
* [[PlayingWithFire Starjun's]] sword from ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'', though according to him it's actually a Flaming Kitchen Knife.

* The titular character of ''Anime/TheBraveFighterOfSunFighbird'' has one, naturally dubbed "Flame Sword". Oddly enough its upgraded version actually switches it to a HotBlade.
* Akari from ''Anime/DayBreakIllusion'' has one. Unusually, it's a rapier, and not actually flaming. Just made of of concentrated fire (or [[ThePowerOfTheSun sun]], rather).
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Natsu has twice used such a sword under varying circumstances.
** The first time was in [[AlternateUniverse Edolas]], where [[YourMagicsNoGoodHere he couldn't use his normal magic due to lack of Ethernano]] [[spoiler:until Mystogan gave him the X-Balls]] and had to rely on a magic sword that in theory could be used up to 100 times by drawing upon the stored magical energy to form a flame blade. Unfortunately, due to both his usual recklessness and lack of skill he used up all the stored magic energy in a single attack that blasted fire everywhere.
** The second time was in the Tartaros Arc where [[spoiler:Silver]] threw one to him and Lisanna to escape their magic-hampering cuffs and their cell. Unlike the Edolas sword, this one had a proper blade but when touched would rapidly heat up until it caught fire. It worked out pretty well for him, but he ended up breaking it in two when he attacked [[spoiler:Zeref]] with it, [[spoiler:to no effect on the Black Wizard.]]
* Kyojuro's Flame Breathing [[spoiler:and Tanjiro's Sun Breathing]] in ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' are actually subversions. Their attacks are associated with the movement and power of fire and in the anime are visualized to look as if their blades are on fire, but in reality their techniques are just highly advanced sword techniques and the flames are special effects. [[spoiler:However, this is played straight when Tanjiro's first use of Sun Breathing is supplemented by Nezuko's recently-developed Demon Art of setting her blood on fire.]]

* In ''Literature/TheExecutionerAndHerWayOfLife'', Ashuna Grisarika's signature weapon is a sword which she sets aflame with her magic.

This is what happens when you combine two of childhood's most reviled taboos...playing with sharp objects, and PlayingWithFire.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2'', Hiccup wields a retractable sword coated in Monstrous Nightmare spit, with a mechanism to ignite it when needed. The sword's hilt can spray flammable Zippleback gas, which Hiccup can then ignite with his sword.
** It returns in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld''.

** The [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Burning_Bamboo_Sword Burning Bamboo Sword]], if you can believe a [[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter a wooden sword]] being set on fire.

* You do not get to pick up and attack with a Flaming Sword in ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2: The Shadow and the Flame''. In ancient Persia, a Flaming Sword picks itself up and attacks you!

* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'': The Flame Swordsman card depicts a warrior wielding an orange blade wreathed in a thin layer of flame. The Blue Flame Swordsman is much the same, but with a blue blade and blue flames.

* In ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil'', The BonusBoss [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Flandre Scarlet]] has a gigantic flaming ''[[MagicStaff rod]]'', that's [[AxCrazy swung around as a sword]]. There's also [[LightIsNotGood Hinanawi Tenshi's]] [[CosmicKeystone sword]].

* In ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma'' Ayano has Enraiha a wooden sword always in flames, other than the times she gets disarmed and Enraiha is on the ground.

* Shana of ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'', [[PlayingWithFire contractor to the Flame of Heaven]], can set her sword on fire. It makes a complement to her large [[HotWings flaming wings]], fireballs, and hair.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':

* In ''LightNovel/TheExecutionerAndHerWayOfLife'', Ashuna Grisarika's signature weapon is a sword which she sets aflame with her magic.

* ''VideoGame/MinecraftDungeons'': You can invoke this if you enchant a sword with the Fire Aspect enchantment.

* In ''Franchise/TheDCU'', the Jean-Paul Valley [[LegacyCharacter incarnation]] as ComicBook/{{Azrael}} not only wields a flaming sword, he can ''shoot'' several of them. Azraels throughout history have wielded a flaming sword in their guise as angels. The ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'' novelization lovingly details how the sword has advanced through the centuries, from a sword wrapped in soaked rags and set on fire just before Azrael's appearance, to its then-current twin hollow gauntlet-mounted daggers with compressed air propelled through them to fuel the fire.

* Zauriel, the first angel to join the Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, wields one of these.

** Lourdes, the leader of Pax Galactica, wields a magical flaming sword that burns even in the vacuum of space. Franchise/{{Superman}} borrows her weapon and uses it to slay a PlanetEater.
** Variant in ''ComicBook/SupermanVsTheAmazingSpiderMan''. ComicBook/LexLuthor created a sword which gave off red sunlight.

* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s created fire giant Brimstone creates a sword out of literal flame to deal with "Justice League Detroit" in ''ComicBook/{{Legends|DCComics}}''.

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':

** Lord Beric Dondarrion wields an flaming sword when [[spoiler:he duels Sandor Clegane. After cutting his palm on the blade, fire bursts from the blood. Unlike the other swords, the flames really burn, which is bad for the pyrophobic Sandor. However it's mentioned earlier that setting your sword on fire makes the steel brittle, and Sandor wins because the sword breaks when Dondarrion is about to make the killing bow]].

* In the ''Series/{{Fallen}}'' mini-series, [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] and {{Nephilim}} can wield swords made of pure divine fire, which they can summon from thin air. Being hit by one usually incinerates the target. Strangely enough, the protagonist, a regular kid until recently, can match his swordfighting skills with angels, who have been doing this since before humans were around, and TheDevil.

* ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'' has {{Excalibur}}, but fortunately it extinguishes itself whenever Arthur puts it down. As he discovers later, it only catches on fire when held by a person of incredible destiny, to his sword master's chagrin and [[TheChosenZero Perceval's surprise]]. It can't ignite anymore once Arthur comes back to reclaim it in TheMovie, ''Film/KaamelottPremierVolet''... until the climactic duel against Lancelot, where a [[DivineAssistance lightning strucks Arthur]] and reignites the sword.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'''s ''Tribunal'' expansion has you tasked with reforging [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement True Flame]], the flaming iconic weapon of the [[FounderOfTheKingdom original Nerevar]]. Unlike a standard fire-enchanted weapon, it does actually burn with flames. (The flaming component turns out to be a rare tar that burns eternally when set alight, but has become LostTechnology since the blade was originally forged, complicating matters.) [[PhysicalGod Tribunal deity]] and the original Nerevar's wife, Almalexia, wields its twin blade Hopesfire, a [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] equivalent.
** The Sword of the Crusader, in the ''Knights of the Nine'' expansion to ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]''. Like the True Flame in ''Tribunal'', you first need to recover it as an ordinary sword, and in this case, reconsecrate it to the Divines before it will light on fire for you.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Sword of War and Peace. Mostly war.]]

** Captain-commander Yamamoto, besides [[IncendiaryExponent being on fire himself]] when fighting, has a flaming sword. Bearing in mind that he can drive people to the ground with a glance, it's no surprise that his sword puts off enough heat to burn the clouds out of the sky. His Bankai trades in the fire for all the heat of his flames being concentrated along the edge of his blade. The heat is so intense that just by touching the ground with the sword's '''tip''', he atomizes the ground in the direction he was cutting.
** The Filler villain Shusuke Amagai's bankai. It's basically a BFS with an afterburner for a hilt.

** Kin'emon has an entire fighting style revolving around this, to an extent. Zoro later learns to copy his technique, and uses it to great effect in the Wano Country arc.

* In ''Anime/DigimonFusion'', Dorbickmon uses them for his Tyrant Collbrande attack. Bonus points because it is literally a flame shaped into a sword.

* ''Manga/SoulHunter'': Nento Dojin's Paopei is the Hienken (Leaping Flames Sword), a hole-riddled sword which is entirely enveloped in flames. Downplayed as Nento is so powerful he can perform flame jutsus powerful enough to outmach many Paopei.

* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': Heimdall's CoolSword can create [[TechnicolorFire blue]] [[{{Hellfire}} "cosmic fire"]] and of course Surtur's black sword "Twilight", Marvel's version of Laevateinn.

* The High Priest of the Mayan temple in ''Film/TheFountain'' wields a flaming sword with which to defend the Tree of Life. It's actually a bit of {{Deconstruction}}, as the Mayan priest basically [[spoiler: distracts Tomas with the sword and stabs him in the gut with a dagger]].
* In ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest'', Will Turner lights his sword on fire by dipping it in oil then smashing a lantern, in an attempt to intimidate and fend off a number of Davy Jones' crew. Note that he never actually fights anyone with his flaming sword. This is because the prop for this scene was actually quite dangerous as it was basically a tube through which flammable liquid was pumped to fuel the fire.

* In ''Film/{{Noah}}'', Methusaleh is shown [[OneManArmy destroying an entire army]] of Cainites with a huge blast from his flaming sword.

* The Balrogs in Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium (''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'') wielded not only a flaming sword, but also a flaming cat-of-nine-tails [[WhipItGood whip]]. Well, the one in ''The Lord Of The Rings'' used a flaming sword at least. Gothmog (the leader of the Balrogs) used a flaming axe, the weapons of the other Balrogs are not known, but were presumably flaming as well. Also, while Andúril is not literally on fire, it does shine "as though on fire." Even more, Túrin son of Húrin has his own blade, which after a very [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina-esque speech]], he thrusts in the air and a great fire leaps up all around him. One of Gurren Lagann's writers just has to have read that for Kamina. At one point Andúril did burst into actual flame, courtesy of Gandalf the White. Also, the Witch-King's sword has red flames during his encounter with Gandalf, just as depicted in the extended movie version.

* In the ''Series/{{Fallen}}'' mini-series, [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] and {{Nephilim}} can wield swords made of pure divine fire, which they can summon from thin air. Being hit by one usually incinerates the target. Strangely enough, the protagonist, a regular kid until recently, can match his swordfighting skills with angels, who have been doing this since before humans were around, and even TheDevil.

** [[spoiler: Just before the start of the Battle of Winterfell, Melisandre causes the ''arrahks'' of the entire Dothraki cavalry to burst into flame in order to give them a better chance against the Army of the Dead. Sadly, it doesn't do much.]]
** Of note is the fact that the flaming swords in the show are ''not'' done by CGI. It's an actual practical effect, albeit one that can only be used for a few minutes at a time because either the fuel powering it runs out or waving it around puts the flames out naturally.

* ''Series/KrodMandoonAndTheFlamingSwordOfFire''. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Yes, that is the show's name]], and yes that is the title character's weapon. However, being a parody and all, Krod has no control over the flaming part. It tends to catch fire when he's "excited". Hell, the first time someone asks about it, Krod says he thinks the sword is somehow defective and he needs to get it fixed.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' has the Shogun Megazord Fire Sabre and the Lightspeed Megazord Sabre. The [[ElementalPowers elementally-powered]] Rangers will occasionally get to do this too, such as in ''[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]]'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]]'', and the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' seasons ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'' and ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger''. Of special note is the fact that some of these and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' examples involve ''really lighting the weapons on fire''. The Centaurus Phoenix of Mystic Force had this back in [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiranger]].

** Surtr, the leader of the giants of Muspelheim had one (called "Lævateinn"); his having it plays a major role in Ragnarok. It will burn nearly all of the earth. Oddly enough, he gets stopped by a ''tree'' of all things (granted, it ''was'' [[WorldTree Yggdrasil]]).
** Lævateinn itself was forged by [[UltimateBlacksmith Volundr]] and owned by [[TricksterGod Loki]]. The Old Norse translation literally means "Damage Twig" and may in fact not be a named sword, but a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenning kenning]] for a sword.

* Commonplace in {{Garbage Wrestl|er}}ing (and sometimes makes its way to the professional world), it's entirely possible to see things set aflame to look more intense and painful, including but not limited to tables, two-by-fours wrapped in barbed wire, [[ManOnFire and the wrestlers themselves.]]

* In the third ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'', there is an artifact called the Red Dragon Flame Tongue, part of a [[SetBonus set]] of artifacts. In addition the [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Archangels]] wield flaming swords which, for bonus points, are flamberges (a sword made to look like a flame). Also, while [[InfinityPlusOneSword Armageddon's Blade]] isn't ''technically'' on fire, its ability to call down a [[DeathFromAbove rain of fire]] on the entire battlefield surely counts for something.

** Throughout the ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' series, Swordy Two enemies have flaming swords and Swordy Three enemies have ice swords. You, [[PowerCopying of course]], ''also'' have fire and ice swords once you've beaten them. In the third game, along with the fire and ice swords, there are also swords made of electricity and bamboo. There is even a Program Advance in that game that allows you to smack your enemies with ''all four swords'' in just ''one and a half seconds'' for ''massive'' elemental damage.

** The Mystic Knight job originating in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' can apply Black Magic spells to their sword. Among those spells, of course, is Fire.

** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'', if you return 10 Power Gems to the spring at Spirit Island, and equip the Fairy of Power, Link's sword becomes coated in flames. Ten more and they burn hotter and the tip is literally aflame.

** The sorceress can also enchant weapons with fire. Of course, this ability is almost completely useless in solo play, due to their SquishyWizard status. But with the right gear and Minmaxing, they ''can'' dish out 100k+ damage per hit turning them somewhat into [[GlassCannon Glass Cannons]] dealing more damage than just about anything else in the game.

* In ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'', Fire Melee and Fire Manipulation give the player access to swords literally [[IncendiaryExponent made of fire]].

* In ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'', some of the entries have flaming swords, whether it's the Firebrand or the Flamberge, or something else entirely. In particular, ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' has a pair of flaming swords, the Firebrand and Marsil. Not only do both swords have a fire aura, but with a command input both can generate a wave of flame, with Marsil's long enough to hit something a 1/5 of the screen away. Additionally many Castlevania games having flaming whips for your Belmont to use.

* Any melee weapon with a Flame Augmentation in ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' will do this from time to time. Heck, you can put a Flame Augmentation on a ''[[NerfArm frying pan]]''.

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfArise'' has the Blazing Sword, a physical manifestation of the astral energy contained in the master core of fire. In a deconstruction, it's too hot for any normal person to wield; the only reason Alphen is able to use it is because he can't feel pain, and even he has an astonishing tendency to [[CastFromHitPoints injure himself while fighting with it]].

* Kazuki in ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' wields a flaming sword. The series goes further in ''Samurai Shodown V'' when a demon who looks basically like Kazuki wields Chains of Fire instead. ''Samurai Shodown 2'' has the WeaponsKitchenSink: Neinhalt Sieger has a flame-enhanced huge gauntlet (which also helps him with his flaming leap), and Wan-Fu uses a flaming stone pillar.

* One ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' succession fort, Deathgate, somehow ended up with a sword made entirely out of fire. This fire was part of a demon's corpse that the moody dwarf had somehow dragged to its forge. It proceeded to kill [[ManOnFire the three dwarves who were assigned to bring it to its shrine]].

** [[JeanneDArchetype Repanse de Lyonesse]] gives her entire army flaming weapons when fighting against [[BurnTheUndead the undead]].

* The Torchmen from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. Not only are their swords on fire, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080730 their entire bodies are on fire]].

** Kin'emon has an entire fighting style revolved around this, to an extent.
** Caesar Clown can create flaming sword, by compressing oxygen in the shape of a sword with his powers, and then lighting it on fire.

* Dr. Clef's proposal for [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001 SCP-001]] from the ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' is apparently ''the'' guardian of Eden, complete with one of these that can strike in multiple directions at once, regardless of distance.

* The Balrogs in Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium (''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'') wielded not only a flaming sword, but also a flaming cat-of-nine-tails [[WhipItGood whip]]. Well, the one in ''The Lord Of The Rings'' used a flaming sword at least. Gothmog (the leader of the Balrogs) used a flaming [[AnAxeToGrind axe]], the weapons of the other Balrogs are not known, but were presumably flaming as well. Also, while Andúril is not literally on fire, it does shine "as though on fire." Even more, Túrin son of Húrin has his own blade, which after a very [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina-esque speech]], he thrusts in the air and a great fire leaps up all around him. One of Gurren Lagann's writers just has to have read that for Kamina. At one point Andúril did burst into actual flame, courtesy of Gandalf the White. Also, the Witch-King's sword has red flames during his encounter with Gandalf, just as depicted in the extended movie version.

** Several weapons in [=BG2=] deal fire damage, including [[AnAxeToGrind "Stonefire"]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Blade of Searing" and "Sword of Flame"]], and [[InfinityPlusOneSword "Angurvadal"]]. Most are useful for killing trolls.

* Rohan's WeaponOfChoice on ''Series/TheMysticKnightsOfTirNaNog''.

** Mari has a pymaric sword that she can activate to be on fire.

* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': When Duane and Lemuel were in the military together Duane would magic Lemuel's swords aflame. While the fire didn't last particularly long, the magic kept the swords glowing hot for a fair while.

* In ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' Alibaba Saluja's sword becomes fused with the fire Djinn Amon, thus allowing him to utilize the power of its flames. Later on, his sword gets bigger the more he uses its power, and gradually it gets to the point where it's completely enveloped in flames.

** Captain Yamamoto, besides [[IncendiaryExponent being on fire himself]] when fighting, has a flaming sword. Bearing in mind that he can drive people to the ground with a glance, it's no surprise that his sword puts off enough heat to burn the clouds out of the sky. His Bankai trades in the fire for all the heat of his flames being concentrated along the edge of his blade. The heat is so intense that just by touching the ground with the sword's '''tip''', he atomizes the ground in the direction he was cutting.
