Reincarnated as a Sword, also known as I Became the Sword by Transmigrating (Japanese: 転生したら剣でした, Hepburn: Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita) or Tenken (転剣), is a Japanese light novel series written by Yuu Tanaka and illustrated by Llo. It started as a web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in October 2015. It was later published as a light novel by Micro Magazine, who released the first volume in July 2016. The series has received a manga adaptation by Tomowo Maruyama, published by Gentosha, as well as a spin-off manga by Hinako Inoue, published by Micro Magazine. Both the light novels and manga were licensed for North American release by Seven Seas Entertainment, as well as the spin-off. An anime television series adaptation by C2C aired from October to December 2022. A second season has been announced.

Critical reaction has been generally positive, with its visuals, voice acting, action scenes and chemistry between the two leads being praised; however critics also lamented its writing and lack of originality.

Plot

[edit]

After dying in a car accident, an unnamed man finds himself reincarnated in another world as a sentient sword with powerful abilities and no recollection of his name, though he remembers everything else from his previous life. Accepting his fate as a sword, he begins to seek someone to become his wielder, fighting and gaining powers. He discovers a caravan of slave traders under attack by a two-headed bear. A young catgirl slave, Fran, discovers the sword, and uses him to kill the bear. After being freed from slavery, she names the sword "Teacher", and the two embark on an adventure together.

Transliteration: "Mofumimi ga Deatta no wa Ken Deshita" (Japanese: モフ耳が出会ったのは剣でした)		Kazunobu ShimizuTakahiro NaganoShinji IshihiraOctober 5, 2022 (2022-10-05)
An unnamed man is tragically killed in a car accident and reincarnates in another world as a sentient, magical sword. With telekinesis, he is able to fly and learn skills by killing monsters. He decides to continue slaying monsters and become the most powerful sword in the world while waiting for his destined wielder. Elsewhere, a Black Cat-girl named Fran lives as an abused slave, outfitted with a collar that prevents her from defying orders, but dreams of greatness. One day, after acquiring numerous skills and great warrior abilities, the sword enters a forest where touching the ground drains his magic to zero. Unable to fly, he is trapped for months. The humans Fran belongs to are attacked by a bear monster. Seeing her fellow slaves and one of her owners being slaughtered, leaving her one of the only survivors, she is desperate to help and spots the sword nearby. Touching his handle, he is able to communicate with her via telepathy and fly again. He shares all his skills with her, turning her into a great warrior who uses him to easily kill the monster. Fran’s owner, another one of the survivors, demands she give him the sword and starts hurting her when she refuses. Angered by this abuse, the sword kills him and burns Fran’s slave contract, causing Fran's collar to fall off, freeing her. He officially asks Fran to be his wielder and she agrees as it is her goal to evolve, something no Black Cat has ever managed before. Seeing him as her teacher, Fran names him Teacher. Teacher decides to dedicate his new life to keeping Fran safe.
2"The Hellish Trial at the Adventurer's Guild"
Transliteration: "Bōkensha Girudo ni Ittara Oni Shikenkan Deshita" (Japanese: 冒険者ギルドに行ったら鬼試験官でした)		Ayaka TsujihashiTakahiro NaganoShinji IshihiraOctober 12, 2022 (2022-10-12)
Fran rescues an adventurer named Randell from a goblin ambush. Teacher keeps his sentience a secret and only speaks to Fran via telepathy. In Alessa, a town at the adventurer guild, Nell the receptionist, who keeps her dark side hidden, informs Fran she must pass a battle simulation, and the examiner is Donadrond, a powerful Oni. Fran and Teacher combine sword skills with magic, which Nell notes should be impossible unless Fran had two brains. Donadrond happily admits defeat. Guild master Klimt accepts her as a Sword-Mage. Fran sells some of her loot for a small fortune, earning jealousy from nearby mercenaries. Believing a Black Cat could only be a thief and liar, they pick a fight with her, but Nell, who has decided she likes Fran, defends her. Unable to stand them insulting the Black Cat species, Fran severs the lead mercenary’s legs while beating up the rest. They insist Fran should be arrested for attacking them, but Nell and the guild adventurers all agree it was self-defense and fines the lead mercenary 100,000 gold, with Nell revealing her dark side by refusing to heal his legs until he pays. Teacher decides they need a room for the night and armor for Fran. Meanwhile, a dwarf adventurer, who has the highest level Appraisal skill God Sight, is fully aware Teacher is a living, intelligent sword.
3"The Grizzled Old Blacksmith"
Transliteration: "Mahō Kajishi wa Kusemono Deshita" (Japanese: 魔法鍛冶師は曲者でした)		Hiro ŌkiTakahiro NaganoHiro ŌkiOctober 19, 2022 (2022-10-19)
The dwarf, Garrus, invites Fran to his shop, explaining he is the famous Wandering Blacksmith of Granzell. Other adventurers are jealous as Garrus is notoriously choosy over who he sells his equipment to. After selling Fran enchanted armor, Garrus asks about Teacher. Teacher is worried he is not as strong as other swords, but Garrus reveals that what makes Teacher most powerful is his ultra-high mana conductivity; the more magic Fran puts into him, the more powerful he becomes. Garrus admits he is not skilled enough to forge a sword like Teacher, so he could only have been forged by a Divine Blacksmith. Teacher pays Garrus to make a scabbard for Teacher and other equipment for Fran. With time to spare, Fran and teacher acquire more clothes, food and a room. Elsewhere, the surviving goblins that ambushed Randell use magic to evolve into Hobgoblins. On her first quest, herb gathering, Fran rescues three adventurers, Lily, Crull and Eustace, by slaying the Hobgoblins. The adventurers worry; the presence of Hobgoblins means a Goblin King has recently evolved, and he should locate a Goblin Queen; their offspring will form a Hobgoblin army that could even threaten Alessa city. Fran decides to destroy their nest alone, but Teacher worries as Fran attacks recklessly, ignoring the injuries she receives.
4"The Terrifying Goblin Stampede"
Transliteration: "Goburin Sutanpīdo wa Ōgoto Deshita" (Japanese: ゴブリンスタンピードはオオゴトでした)		Ayumu UwanoTakahiro NaganoAyumu UwanoOctober 26, 2022 (2022-10-26)
Fran kills all the goblins present, saying she must become stronger. The adventures return with reinforcements and they find that the goblins came from a dungeon. Klimt organizes a party to raid the dungeon the next day and gives Fran a promotion. Garrus repairs her armor and says Dungeon Masters are empowered by the Goddess of Chaos. Fran takes Teacher with her to the bathhouse, much to his embarrassment, but Nell reprimands her for bringing a weapon. Nell explains the Goddess of Chaos brings challenges to the world like Dungeon Masters to prevent stagnation. The God of War was evil and slain by other gods, but not before he created goblins and other monsters. Nell complains that August, the captain of the guard who dislikes adventurers, refuses to send knights to assist them and wants Amanda, the guild's ace, to return from her journey. The next day, Garrus gives Teacher his completed scabbard and Fran joins the party, led by Donadrond. The goblins ambush them at the dungeon entrance and kill most of the party. Fran kills several goblins and enters the dungeon. Inside, a goblin gloats that with the monster he just summoned, the Goblin Empire is invincible.
5"The Feeble First Dungeon"
Transliteration: "Danjon Debyū wa Musō Deshita" (Japanese: ダンジョンデビューは無双でした)		Yūri KozukataTakahiro NaganoShinji IshihiraNovember 2, 2022 (2022-11-02)
Fran and Teacher decide to only kill and absorb crystals from goblins with useful skills and leave the rest to the others. They find the Goblin King and Queen, but kill them with one attack to their surprise. They realize the dungeon goes deeper and fight their way through a swarm of giant beetles. They enter a hidden door and find the Dungeon Master, an intelligent goblin who managed to summon a high level greater demon. The Dungeon Master boasts he will take over the world with his servant, but the demon warns his summoner not to give him orders and attacks Fran. He is much more powerful than any enemy she and Teacher have faced before and slices off Fran's hands, but Teacher quickly heals her. Meanwhile, the rest of the party cannot get past the door to help her. Teacher asks Fran to retreat, but she refuses and continues to fight the demon. The demon acknowledges that Fran's sword skills are superior to his, and then uses his special Skill Taker ability to steal her sword skills, boasting that she is doomed.
6"The Greater Demon Cheated"
Transliteration: "Gurētā Dēmon wa Chīto Deshita" (Japanese: 上級悪魔（グレーターデーモン）はチートでした)		Hiroki IkeshitaTakahiro NaganoShinji IshihiraNovember 9, 2022 (2022-11-09)
Skill Taker fails to work because Fran's sword skills are borrowed from Teacher. The Dungeon Master attempts to assist the demon, but he refuses his help. Teacher remembers a Dungeon Master's summons cannot survive without him and tells Fran to aim her attacks at him, forcing the demon to shield him. Fran hurls Teacher at the Dungeon Master, but when the demon tries to attack him, he unexpectedly changes direction and impales the demon instead, killing him. Teacher's blade breaks in the process, making Fran think he is dead before he reveals he can repair himself thanks to absorbing the demon's crystal. They kill the Dungeon Master, making the dungeon disappear. The rest of the party congratulates her, but Donadrond berates her for going off on her own and not waiting for them. Teacher soothes her by promising to make her curry, and reveals he gained Skill Taker, and uses his new experience levels to max Skill Taker and his sword skills. Klimt calls Fran and asks what happened to the demon's crystal, as it is a highly valuable material. Fran conceals the fact that Teacher absorbed it and says it just disappeared.

Determined not to let Fran die, she annihilates the Trickster Spider, but angers Fran by destroying its crystal too. After clearing the dungeon, Klimt gives Fran permission to go to Ulmutt and she is promoted. Garrus gives Fran new armor; Teacher is angered that it exposes her belly, but he shows it protects her with a force field. Garrus says he is going to Ulmutt too, by a different route.

Tarua judges Fran has good character and is not a spy despite her unusual strength. Fran surfs through the sky on Teacher and approaches a floating island, only for them to get knocked down and crash-land in a building on the island where they are confronted by the necromancer Jean du Vix.

Reception

[edit]

Theron Martin of Anime News Network, in his review of the first volume of the light novel, praised the interactions between the two lead characters, and said: "Beyond the action scenes, Tanaka's writing skill is a little above average. Dialogue and character development flows smoothly and world-building, though somewhat limited, does fit with the perspective of the central characters." However, he criticized the story's lack of originality, noting its similarities to So I'm a Spider, So What?, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon.[1]
