Despite [[Uriel]]'s claim that only angels could kill other angels, other beings had been able to successfully use these blades against angels at times. Dean used one to kill [[Zachariah]], but needed to trick him in order to get close enough to do it. Sam failed in the same task earlier with a different blade. Dean later tried to kill [[Raphael]] with one, but he caught the blade. After [[Castiel]] absorbed all the power of the [[soul]]s of [[Purgatory]], Sam tried to kill him with one, but it was to no avail because, as Castiel stated, he was "not an angel anymore." Dean was later able to kill an angel with one of these blades to save [[Gadreel]], but did so by stabbing the angel through the back.

Revision as of 16:09, 25 March 2020

“ Well, Donatello said that Gog and Magog can only be killed by a weapon touched by God, so angel blade. ”

Angel Blades were weapons carried by most angels. They were long, silver, triple-edged daggers (cross section of the blade would be a three pointed star) that can be used to kill angels, Nephilim, hellhounds, demons, and possibly other supernatural creatures. However angel blades can only harm but not kill an archangel. When an angel blade was used to kill an angel, intense light exploded from the vessel, leaving the body withered. This weapon was considerably powerful as it was one of the few weapons that could kill angels and reapers, making them one of the most powerful weapons in existence.

Overview

Despite Uriel's claim that only angels could kill other angels, other beings had been able to successfully use these blades against angels at times. Dean used one to kill Zachariah, but needed to trick him in order to get close enough to do it. Sam failed in the same task earlier with a different blade. Dean later tried to kill Raphael with one, but he caught the blade. After Castiel absorbed all the power of the souls of Purgatory, Sam tried to kill him with one, but it was to no avail because, as Castiel stated, he was "not an angel anymore." Dean was later able to kill an angel with one of these blades to save Gadreel, but did so by stabbing the angel through the back.

Even demons, such as Meg, made use of these weapons. Meg used an angel blade to kill a pack of Crowley's hellhounds, and in a later episode, used one to kill the angel Hester to protect Castiel. Crowley somehow acquired one and used it to torture Samandriel, without killing him. He later threatend Castiel with it, but never gets to use it on him. In Torn and Frayed, it was shown for the first time that angel blades could, in fact, kill demons, when Sam killed two with one of these blades. In Goodbye Stranger, three demons were killed with angel blades, and Meg used an angel blade to stab Crowley in the arm, which caused him pain, but did not kill him. Meg was then killed by Crowley with an angel blade. Dean later stabbed Crowley through the hand with an angel blade, causing him great pain and pinning his hand to a wall. However, he was able to quickly free himself of the blade while Dean was away without even pulling it from the wall. It was also shown that the blades can kill Reapers in Taxi Driver, and that they could kill Nephilim in Clip Show.

According to Castiel in Good Intentions, angel blades are "touched by God."

As seen in Let the Good Times Roll, angel blades can kill monsters as well. Castiel was able to kill a werewolf by stabbing him in the heart with his angel blade. In Back and to the Future, Castiel used one to slay several zombies. However, these were not true zombies and instead were corpses animated by souls from Hell possessing them. Blows from iron fence posts were also capable of easily stopping them. In Golden Time, Castiel was able to kill a djinn by stabbing him several times in the chest with an angel blade.

Immunity

The only type of Angels immune to angel blades were Archangels, as many melted down bullets barely affected Lucifer, and he survived being stabbed by Castiel and having a cage of gigantic angel blades pushed on him, although on both occasions he showed some visible pain. However, this did not prevent Lucifer from having his grace extracted by a regular angel blade by Michael. The Prince of Hell Ramiel was also shown to be immune to angel blades, as he survived being stabbed in the back with one by Mary Winchester.

Castiel briefly gained immunity to angel blades when he absorbed 30-40 million souls from Purgatory, surviving a back stab by Sam Winchester. He lost this immunity after he returned the souls.

The Darkness, when seeing Castiel draw an angel blade, laughed at him for believing it could affect her even while weakened by Heaven's mass smiting, suggesting even at a weakened state, an angel blade would not be able to harm Amara.

While the Nephilim Jane was killed by being stabbed through the throat with an angel blade, Jack, as the son of an Archangel and a human rather than the child of a regular angel, was unharmed when stabbed through the heart with one.

In his currently weakened state, Lucifer became more vulnerable to angel blades, as when Castiel stabbed him outside of the Needham Asylum, it not only hurt Lucifer more than ever but also caused his glowing red eyes to flicker a few times before going out, though he didn't suffer any lasting or serious harm, and Asmodeus believed Lucifer could be killed with a stab to the heart, but he recharged his grace enough that it wouldn't work by the time an attempt was made.

Archangel Blades

A far more powerful version of the angel blade carried by archangels. Can kill everything an angel blade can kill, but it can also kill an archangel and harm a Nephilim spawned by an archangel where a regular angel blade can't. However, only an archangel can use an archangel blade to kill another archangel. In the hands of a non-archangel, it can kill demons and possibly regular angels, but won't work on an archangel. Unlike with angel blades, the archangel blade is designed only to kill the possessing archangel and thus the vessel may survive while with angel blades, they die every time with the possessing angel.

Angel Swords

AngelSword

Tamiel's angel sword.

An angel sword was a sword version of the angel blade. It presumably had the same properties as an angel blade and was carried by the Grigori who had their names inscribed upon the hilt. After killing Tamiel, one of these fell into the hands of Claire Novak.

Other Uses

An angel blade could be melted and the pieces fashioned into bullets which were just as fatal to angels. Crowley pioneered this method in The Great Escapist. He used it to great effect to kill or send angels, including Naomi, fleeing, other users were the humans of a alternate universe. Like a regular angel blade, fatality of the bullets depended on the manner of use. To create fatal damage, the bullets had to target vital organs. Bullets fired from a gun could also be reused as Castiel was able to kill Ion by manually shoving one of the bullets into his eye.

An angel blade could also remove an angel's grace as shown by Metatron using it to steal Castiel's grace by slicing open his throat, Castiel stealing Theo's grace and Crowley Adina's. In an ironic twist of fate, Castiel later uses it to remove Metatron's grace from him. Castiel was later able to use an angel blade to open Lucifer's throat and continuously drain his grace in order to power a ritual.
