Etymology
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System and is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process.
The Sun Blade is likely inspired by the Sword of the Sun, from the 1968 Toei anime film The Great Adventure of Horus, Prince of the Sun.
