Trivia

• Its name is a reference to the weapon "BFG 9000" from the Doom franchise which stands for "Big F***ing Gun"; as a result, B. F. Sword unofficially abbreviates "Big F***ing Sword".
• Rioters and players have jokingly stated that "B. F." stands for "Best Friend.", and at one point Guinsoo posted an item that he termed the "B. F. F. Sword" (Best Friend Forever).
  • In the video, Welcome Aboard, Odyssey Yasuo is reading a book written by "Brian Francis Sword", whose authors name is a reference to the B. F. Sword.
• Varus Swiftbolt has the B. F. Sword tied to his quiver.
