正義の剣

正義の剣(せいぎのけん)seigi no ken: light saber

正義(せいぎ)seigi literally means 'justice' and (けん)ken means 'sword'.
As a result, the Google Translate translates it as 'Sword of justice'. But it actually means 'light saber', a special kind of sword made out of laser light. Yes, you are right, the one from Star Wars!

The language has adapted 正義の剣to mean the Light Saber but Google Translate is yet to adapt to inter-cultural adaptations!
