A hot blade is an edged weapon that somehow heats up, adding the thermal energy of its temperature to the kinetic energy of its blow to achieve [[Absurd Cutting Power]]. When active, it will usually glow visibly (without losing any of its structural integrity, [[MST3K Mantra|somehow]]) because [[Power Glows]].

* Nero's Red Queen from ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'' has a special mechanism inside it; the sword has a gasoline fuel inside, and the sword can be revved; when doing so, it sprays out the fuel to the blade as well as igniting it, making the blade glow hot red.
* Though they are not technically swords, the hooks thrown by Spider Splicers in the ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' games are glowing red hot. They are probably heated by plasmid use on the part of the splicers.
* The Thermoblades in ''[[X-COM (Video Game)|X-COM]] 2'' are a combination of [[Hot Blade]] and [[Vibroweapon]], and are pretty effective against [[Demonic Spiders|Demonic Crabs]]. <ref>Ok, they are actually lobsters.</ref>
