Didn't know where to put this, and some of you people might know it already, but anyway.
MOONLIGHT (laserblade in all AC game titles): This is another in-joke that From Software made in reference to their King's Field RPGs (which was made before AC), much like how they named the Karasawa after someone. The sword was a recurring item in all King's Field games, and supposedly the most powerful sword in every title. Like the Karasawa, the name stuck throughout the AC series.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:Moonlight Sword - Also known as the "Holy Sword", the Moonlight sword was created by the dragon Guyra (a.k.a. the Forest Dragon) to tempt powerful warriors into his service with hopes of finding a champion strong enough to help him be reborn. The sword was then given to the Forrester family by Guyra in ancient times and was handed down to John Alfred Forrester. In the US, through poor story cohesion management, a King's Field 2 (US) guide erroneously stated that the Moonlight sword was created by Vallad as a means of destroying Guyra and Seath and given to King Alfred by Vallad himself. This story is not supported by the King’s Field games and conflicts with many game facts and plot points.
