The Pulse Blade is a newer version of the Sabre of Light, Cyrax's high-tech cyborg weapon from Mortal Kombat Gold.
Cyrax uses a blue Pulse Blade in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and a green one in Armageddon.
Sektor also uses a Pulse Blade in Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition, as he is a Palette Swap of Cyrax in that game, and wields two red Pulse Blades in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
Takeda Takahashi uses two orange Pulse Blades in Mortal Kombat X in his Ronin variation. His Pulse Blades can also be used as mines.
Trivia
- Strangely enough, in Armageddon, Cyrax is able to pull his Pulse Blade out during a Fatality, while Sektor can't pull out his.
- Cyrax used his Pulse Blade against Havik in the opening of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
- The single Pulse Blade that Cyrax wields has the same attacks and animations as Shang Tsung's Straight Sword.
- In Deadly Alliance, Cyrax’s Pulse Blade had a blue colored blade. In Armageddon, the blade was changed to green. This is likely a homage to the Star Wars films, where the main protagonist Luke Skywalker has a blue lightsaber and then, in a later film, constructs a green one; Although this has been unconfirmed.
- Also, when Cyrax used the similar Sabre of Light, it was red, a reference to the fact that the villainous group called the Sith used red lightsabers; as Cyrax only officially joined the Special Forces in his ending, he is considered a "villain" at this point in the story. This seems to also be the case for Sektor as he is the most evil of the four main cyborgs.
