The Sword of Plun-Darr was meant to be the sword to house the War Stone. He was able to get the fragments and was able to have the Sword of Plun-Darr forged as well.

Before they could do anything, Mumm-Ra was successful in destroying the Plun-Darr Star System. In the end, this caused both of them to betray their master. However, destroying the Plun-Darr Star System was something Leo and Panthera were against. With achieving his goals, Mumm-Ra had Leo and Panthera helping him out. To be more specific, it was the destruction of the Plun-Darr Star System. Just to have the materials for the sword, Mumm-Ra needed the “blood” of a star which meant the destruction of a star system. With Mumm-Ra’s goal for dominating the whole universe, he was told by Ancient Spirits that he needed a blade for the most powerful stone, the War Stone (Eye of Thundera).īut to create such a blade, a huge sacrifice was required in order for the materials to come into existence. The origin of the Sword of Omens is closely tied with the story’s main villain, Mumm-Ra. For example, you might get to think that the material used in forging the sword is unknown, however, the creation of the sword was explained with the remake of ThunderCats in 2011. While we might all be familiar with the Sword of Omens and its power, some of you might not know the origin of the Sword of Omens. What is the Origin of the Sword of Omens? With the ThunderCats remake of 2011, much of the sword’s design stayed true to the original. In the original ThunderCats animated series, the hilt of the sword had green details and the grip had raised lines running through it. Only lords are able to wield the sword which gives them access to the infinite power of the Eye of Thundera.īecause the Sword of Omens employs the Eye of Thundera, it can be classified as one of the strongest weapons, if not the strongest weapon that ever existed. Until such time, the Eye of Thundera was embedded into the hilt of the Sword of Omens. Through many generations, the Eye of Thundera has been passed down by the Thunderan rulers. Regardless on if the cause of the danger was the sword deciding on doing the harm itself or something else causing harm to the orb, the Thunderans would face serious consequences. While that may be true, because the Eye of Thundera is the source of life of all Thunderans, if something bad were to happen to it, it could be catastrophic to all Thunderan life. (if you want the sword for yourself check it out on Amazon here) Because the sword was only shown to have a good nature, you might have thought that it could not cause danger to the ThunderCats. Because of its nature and powers, its existence was kept a secret from the rest of the Thunderians to protect it from being stolen.Īs a young kid who used to watch the show back then, you might have your focus solely on what the sword can do and how it was used by the Lord of the ThunderCats to fight off evil. We’ll discuss much of its abilities later but to give you an idea, it can almost do everything. The sword has red and blue stones fixed to the all metal handle for decoration.The Eye of Thundera is a very powerful orb that can have godlike powers. The sword comes with its own horizontal stand decorated with the Thundercat emblem. The sword comes with a light up feature and lights up the cat picture with the push of a button. This is a replica of the Sword of Omens that was carried by Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats. Eventually, the ThunderCats return to New Thundera to rebuild their society, while still protecting Third Earth. In later episodes, Mumm-Ra magically reconstructs Thundera in order to gain the Sword of Plun-Darr and locate the Treasure of Thundera, which harbors the ThunderCats' secrets.

The battle for ownership of the Eye fuels the conflict between the ThunderCats and their enemies at first but eventually, the Mutants and Mumm-Ra want nothing more than to retake Third Earth in the name of evil and do away with the ThunderCats entirely. The Mutants and Mumm-Ra seek to possess the magic Eye of Thundera, the source of the ThunderCats' power, embedded in the hilt of the mystic Sword of Omens. The ThunderCats bring to Third Earth their code of Truth, Justice, Honor, Loyalty, which threatens the evil dominion of Mumm-Ra, an ancient devil priest of First Earth. The Thundercats enter cryopods, except for one who stays back to pilot the ship during the long trip. The ThunderCats left Thundera, their home planet after it was destroyed by the Sword of Plun-Darr's magic. Both the ThunderCats and the Mutants are from other planets. Thundercats was set on what was called "Third Earth". The ThunderCats are humanoids with distinct cat-like qualities, and appearances, while the Mutants are a bunch of goofy looking goons. ThunderCats is a classic battle of good versus evil.
