Rhitta

The is a sacred treasure in the possession of the Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor.

Appearance
Rhitta is giant ornamental axe with a blade shaped like a crescent moon, similar to that of a Monk's spade. It's design specs and distribution of weight are (likely intentionally) off: most of the weight is concentrated in the head, leaving it off balance, and even more difficult to wield than it's impressive weight would already make it.

Abilities
Rhitta's special ability is activated with the command "Sacred Treasure Release"「神器解放 Jingi Kaihō」doing this releases all the power Escanor has stored within it in an instant. The release is accompanied by an incredible wave of light and heat, illuminating the night sky, causing onlookers to mistake it for the sun itself. He can call it to himself at will, and it will travel at incredible speeds through the sky to reach him.


 * Rhitta's primary ability is to absorb and store all of the incredible heat Escanor is emitting from his body during the day. This allows him to release this heat on command and with precision instead of simply burning away everything in his vicinity.

Trivia

 * Rhitta is the third Sacred Treasure to be shown in a flashback.
 * Rhitta is named after a young maiden loved by the sun.
 * Despite it's large size and the weight of it's head, Rhitta is a one handed weapon.
