Sickle of Sorrow is an anime-only Energy Blade technique. It is the most powerful variant of the Violent Fierce God Slicer used by Goku Black in his Super Saiyan Rosé form. He achieved this by using his anger, creating a new blade entirely.

Overview

"Heh. That's right, mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument with which to destroy you. You must realize the consequences of my learning rage is a source of power. My fury runs deeper than any mortal mind can ever comprehend which means my might will be unrivaled too." — Goku Black describing the scythe's power to Vegeta.

Not much is actually known about the blade itself. However, as Goku Black said above, it is known to be fueled by anger, thus creating this blade. This scythe can fire a large slash towards their opponent, although it is much slower than Black's usual attacks. Nevertheless, this attack is powerful enough to tear a rift in space and time. Besides this, the true power of this new ki blade is unknown, beside a statement from Black that his anger makes him the "strongest".

Video Game Appearances

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as part of the Super Pack 4 DLC, the Supervillain empowered Goku Black uses his Time Ring in conjunction with his Weird Scythe (which is Elder Kai's name for the Sickle of Sorrow) and creates a large tear in the fabric of timespace which creates a rift in time that allows Turles, Lord Slug, Meta-Cooler, Broly, and Super Janemba to appear in Age 796 to take revenge on Goku and the Future Warrior for their past defeats.

The scythe in Dragon Ball FighterZ

Sickle of Sorrow was named in Dragon Ball FighterZ as part of Goku Black's Level 3 Super Special Attack as part of the rush technique.

Trivia

• The scythe is a reference to the weapon with exactly the same name held by Death, also known as the Grim Reaper, following the use of divine culture as ideas for the gods.
