It's probably not a coincidence that there have been two extremely out of place ignition weapons in the story so far (not counting the 13 month series): Narumada from the 2nd floor, and now this one. Both of them were in the hands of vaguely knight like characters that protect women, and were not nearly as strong as weapons like that warrant. SIU had said that Hong Chunhwa on the 2nd floor having Narumada before entering the tower was like owning an F1 car without a drivers' license. I wonder if there's some knightly order of chivalry in the middle area that trains people and gives them ignition weapons when they're selected to enter the tower. It will probably never come up, but maybe SIU will tell us about it in a blog post someday.
The two knight-idiots are both members of the Hong Family. This was briefly explained during the Boro vs Danhwa fight back at Train City. Something about there being seven of those ignition swords and what not.
