Two years later, he grew a rebellious nature and had an argument with her. They separated from each other for a time until he cried out for Sora when he was defeated by Hephai.

Ego Sword - Will[]
(에고소드 - 의지, egosodeu - uiji)
After Sora was promoted to a Great Sword Knight, she was granted the ability to upgrade Ego once. This gave Ego the opportunity to be fused with a weapon of Sora's choice. Sora fed Ego the Light Sword - Will, which led to Ego evolving into a Ego Sword -Will.[7]
Ego became a weapon that absorbed the hero's will. His status and item effects became the same as two items combined.[7]
Linked with 'Taste Wanderer' (식객). Ego is able to use 'eat up' and 'chew and swallow' at the same time.[7]
The attack power of Ego depends on Sora's state of mind. The blade of Ego won't come out if there's anything wrong with Sora's determination, courage or righteousness.[7]
Two years later, Ego grew in power and size, even making his own human form, based on the appearance of the God of Combat.

History[]
Background[]
Ego was given to The Frog Merchant by a stranger and could not be identified, even with special tools. The sword could not be pulled from the sheath which led to the Frog Merchant to believe it was a decorative sword.
Sua Han, Kim, Sora, and Cocomori all failed to pull out the sealed Ego Sword. When it was Drip Soup's turn the sealed sword suddenly broke and a yellow liquid came out of it. Unbeknown to most of the observers, Cocomori had used Weapon Break when she couldn't pull the sword out. Everyone left believing the sword was worthless. The yellow liquid became a one eyed blob and Ego was born.
Season 1[]
Timeskip[]
During the 14 year year time skip (2 years in reality), Ego began to walk and talk and even think on its own. As it went through puberty, it had a little argument with Sora and so they decided to have some time apart.[13] Ego's current whereabouts is unknown.
Season 2[]
Summit Arc[]
Ego is still hungry even after consuming the low-level swords. He spots a weapon shop in the forest and approaches it. Ego meets Hephai at the weapon store and praises her weapons. He eats one of Hephai's weapons and then flees, giggling in delight as he does so. Hephai catches up to him and flings him on the ground.[1]
Notes & Trivia[]
- Ego referred to itself as 'Ego' for the first time in Episode 48.
- The panel were Sora hits Ego over the head is a parody of the "Be Quiet!" (조용히 아세요) South Korean meme that is popular on internet forums. It is used when someone says something without notice, says something away from the situation, or just breaking the pot.The meme is a picture that originates from the Naver Blogger's "히오스하다 운 만화".
