Conspiracy Theory Time!!

[railise]

There are many aspects to S3 that have left fans scratching their heads. And now, I'm putting it to all of you to help explain two Robin-related mysteries-- one disappearance, and one appearance:

What happened to his (gorgeous, awesome) Saracen sword?
and
What's the story behind his tattoo?

I have my own theories worked out, but I'm going to wait to share them, since I want to see what you all think! :)

A couple of images to jog your memory/imagination (a.k.a. "Railise always welcomes an excuse to screencap Robs" lol):

ETA: I'm looking for explanations that could fit into the show-- while I assume (with no actual knowledge) that something happened to the sword between S2/3 which prevented its use in S3, I'm looking for stories. Rational, wild; short, detailed-- hit me with it. :D

Oh, wow-- I really like that! Good thought.

At first I thought it might be the same weapon - then the idea would have been that the same blade that killed Marian would kill Gisbourne. Though after some rewatching, I saw it's not the same sword, but similar.

Ooh, but a really cool thought...
