Blazing End (ブレイズエンド, Blaze End) is Pyra's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

When used, Pyra throws the Aegis Sword forward like a boomerang. The sword then spins in a vertical circular motion, hitting multiple times, before returning back to Pyra. Tapping the control stick increases the range of the attack. The sword does not have an hitbox while returning to Pyra.

However, Pyra is unable to attack while her sword is out, which includes using Prominence Revolt should she fall offstage while using this move, making it risky to do so, but she can still jump, shield, roll and dodge. The sword acts as a projectile and thus can be reflected and pocketed when thrown. If the sword is pocketed, another Aegis Sword will appear in Pyra's hand to maintain her moveset; the pocketed Aegis Sword can be used for one use of Blazing End before disappearing.

When catching the sword as it returns, Pyra is put in a 14 frames long regrab animation. This animation can be canceled by performing another animation such as shield, dodge, roll, jumpsquat or even footstool. The latter is very useful as it allows Blazing End to be used to set up jab locks.

Move List

Throw the sword forward and spin it at a new location. Flick the stick to throw it even farther.

Origin

Blazing End is Pyra's Level 3 Special in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. In the original game, the move had an additional swing from Pyra and stab in the air before transitioning into the spinning, both of which are absent in Smash.
