Holy Element, also known as Holy Factor, is the factor which grants anyone the ability to wield the Holy Swords.
Appearance[]
The Holy Element displayed has a bizarre diamond shape to it and has a dark shade of blue and indigo on its outside. The inside is a distorted color when it contains the holy properties of a person which can be either pink, purple, yellow, or green.
Summary[]
The Holy Element is the factor that enables Humans to wield Holy Swords, although only those with the proper "numerical value." Valper Galilei discovered this during the Holy Sword Project, and then removed, gathered and crystallized the holy properties of countless Human victims in order to create artificial Holy swordsmen who were capable of wielding even the strongest Holy Swords in existence like Excalibur.[1]
A similar mass of crystallized Holy Element was used by the Church during a ceremony, held in order to make Irina Shidou into a Holy Sword wielder, which later reveals that she was able to wield Excalibur Mimic because of it. This was also used on Freed Sellzen extensively, as he had been able to use four Excaliburs at the same time.
The crystallized Holy Element makes its appearance during the battle between the Gremory team against Kokabiel, Freed, and Valper, being thrown away by Valper, which was picked up by Yuuto Kiba. Yuuto was able to use the Holy Element to gain his Balance Breaker, Sword of Betrayer, due to the fact that the Holy Element contained the light of his former comrades from the original Holy Sword Project and that the spirit of one of his former comrade gave him his second Sacred Gear, Blade Blacksmith.
