"Moroha" means "double-edged," "tsurugi" means "sword," and "moroha no tsurugi" means that something is very useful while it could cause a serious damage to yourself.
This is because a double-edged sword could is easy to hurt yourself.

This weapon has a high offensive power, but some of damage that you gave come back to yourself.

諸刃の剣
今日は「諸刃の剣」という言葉を紹介します。
「諸刃」は「両側に刃がついていること」を意味し、「諸刃の剣」は「一方ではとても役に立つが、他方では大きな損害をもたらす危険があること」を意味します。
どちらの縁にも刃がついている剣は、自分自身を傷つけてしまう恐れがあることに由来します。
日本の国民的RPGであるドラゴンクエストでは、武器として「もろはのつるぎ」が登場するため、多くの日本人にとってこの言葉はなじみがあります。
この武器は高い攻撃力を有しますが、与えたダメージの一部が自分に返ってきます。
ちなみに、英語の "double-edged sword" も日本語の「諸刃の剣」も聖書の一節から来ているそうです。
