Sword of Akasha?

Akashagarbha

(Tibetan: Namkhai Nyingpo) Matrix of the Sky or Womb-of-Space
Akashagarbha is the principal Bodhisattva of the Jewel family. He is associated with the Eastern wisdom through the dawning of light from that direction. He wears a white robe and holds a lotus with a large sword shedding that light in his left hand. He is known for his generosity and meritorious acts. As Namkhai Nyingpo, Akashagarbha appears as a female deity.

Was the Sword of Akasha referring to Akashagarbha?

i as more thinking this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akasha

Akasha (or Akash, Ākāśa, आकाश) is the Sanskrit word meaning "aether" in both its elemental and mythological senses. In Hinduism Akasha means the basis and essence of all things. The source of everything that exists. One of the Panchamahabhuta, or "five great elements"; its main characteristic is Shabda (sound). In Hindi the meaning of Akash is sky.


but i guess it can mean akashagarbha's sword ? now that i read your post carefully hmmmm

In fact, the first thing I thought about were the Akashic Records:

No the "Akashic Record"...It's a giant book that hits pretty hard, but it has a 2% drop rate for a new shield for Goofy. :D

Akasha is the Queen of the Vampires and the First Vampire too in Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" too.

I first thought of Queen of the Damned, so I lol'd during episode 2.

Stuart Townsend must save us all.

You mean one for Suzaku and one for Lelouch?

Man, that's going to be one hell of a show to watch.

Lelouch you wimp XD Sometimes I find it hilarious how they highlight Lulu's utter lack of physical ability.

CLAMP may be not directing the plot, but I'm pretty sure they're involved somehow. And didn't the director admit that he's a CLAMP-fan?
