Notes[]

In the Xbox Version the UT Color is red but in Sigma it's blue.
Like the Dragon Sword's Windmill Slash, Dabilaro's Flaming Inferno can connect with a combo such as all versions of Flaming Hell Slash.
The Dabilahro's name is likely derived from the Arabic term Dhabīḥah, which means slaughter.
The first form of the Dabilahro is a possible reference to Guts, the protagonist of Berserk. Further proof is how the weapon description notes how it was used by ancient Vigoorian Berserkers.
