Excalibur: the legendary sword of King Arthur and the go-to name when you need a Cool Sword. Given its status as a Public Domain Artifact, there are quite a few references to it in various media, not to mention the actual Arthurian literature. The name Excalibur is derived from from the original Welsh Caledfwlch or Caledvwlch,note pronounced "ka-led-vulkh", meaning "hard cleft" or "battle breach" depending on the translator. cognate with the Caladbolg of Irish myth. This was rendered as Caliburnus in Latin. Over the centuries the spelling further developed into Escalibor and other variations, finally ending up as Excalibur. Some versions say that Arthur pulled Excalibur from a stone (and anvil on top of the stone) to prove his right to be king. Other versions say that the sword from the stone was not Excalibur, but a different sword, and Arthur instead was given Excalibur by The Lady of the Lake. Modern authors have to usually pick one of these old versions and stick with it. (Although Excalibur found a way to combine the stories). Sometimes modern authors try to distinguish the swords by giving each one a different version of the name "Excalibur", like calling one of them "Caliburn" or "Collbrande" instead. There are also a few obscure medieval stories where Arthur in fact has another named sword, or a couple of other named swords, besides Excalibur and so perhaps gives away or lends Excalibur to one of his knights, such as Gawain or Lancelot. Sometimes modern authors use one of these other named swords to distinguish the sword-in-the-stone from the sword-given-by-the-Lady-of-the-Lake. To avoid confusion when adding examples, please refer to the following pages: Excalibur: The 1981 film. Excalibur: The Marvel Comics comic, and its character sheet. Sword In The Stone: Redirects to the trope in effect, Only the Chosen May Wield. The Sword in the Stone: The Disney animated film. The Sword in the Stone: The book the Disney film is based on. Excalibur in the Stone: The confusion about which sword Excalibur is in media. Excalibur in the Rust: A Cool Sword disguised by wear or grime. |

Fire Emblem: Excalibur itself shows up throughout the series, but unlike most examples it, as well the similarly named Rexcalibur, is usually portrayed as a high-level wind tome, not a sword. The Tellius games (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) feature Caladbolg as a special weapon that only Edward can use. |

Burnistoun parodies this: A series of sketches has an ordinary bloke find a legendary sword (depicted as a large sword with glowing runes on it), wedged in a crack in the ground rather than in the traditional stone. He pulls it out easily, and a man who resembles King Arthur appears, telling him that he is The Chosen One and needed to fight evil. Unfortunately, as Arthur Puts it, the chosen one is a fanny and prefers pubbing to fighting evil. Eventually he sells the sword to a kebab restaurant, who uses it to cut off gyro meat. | |

The Dresden Files: It's heavily implied — and eventually confirmed in Ghost Story — that Michael Carpenter's sword Amoracchius, which translates to the "Sword of Love" and contains one of the Nails of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in its hilt, is Excalibur. It is one of the strongest weapons mortals have against evil Supernatural forces. Michael Carpenter even mentions that, in the past, the original Merlin was one of its custodians looking for the next proper wielder of it. Harry Dresden is chosen as its custodian after Michael retires. The first temporary wielder of the blade is a monster mother seeking to save her child from even worse creatures. Because she is acting out of love and swears to hurt no innocent people, she is able to not only touch Excalibur, but she uses it to cut off the arm of an elder monster. | |

The Last Legion presents Excalibur as a sword first wielded by Julius Caesar which is taken from Rome to Britain by its last emperor, Romulus Augustus. At the end of the film, Romulus (strongly implied to be Uther Pendragon) drives the sword into a stone. The last shot of the film shows the sword in the Present Day, still in the stone and with the original Latin inscription on it covered by moss, save for the letters which spell out 'Excalibur'. | |

Final Fantasy XIV takes both Excalibur and its original spelling and turns them into two different powerful swords. Excalibur is a special weapon that can be obtained by Paladins after obtaining the sword Curtana and converting it as part of A Realm Reborn's Zodiac Weapon storyline. The other weapon, Caladbolg, is a weapon for Dark Knights who complete their Stormblood questline. | |

The Merlin Trilogy: It's named Caliburn and it is the sword of Maximus/Macsen Wledig, a Roman general who made an unsuccessful bid for the Imperial crown. It was brought back from Rome by his men after his death and hidden in a stone temple. The common legend in this story is that it was forged by the legendary smith Weland, before fading away with the rest of the old gods. Much of the second novel, The Hollow Hills, revolves around Merlin attempting to locate it to secure Arthur's accession, and Arthur's drawing it in the sight of all men. | |

Homestuck: One of Dave's sidequests in Sburb was to find and retrieve Caledfwlch, aka the Legendary Piece of Shit. It was embedded in a stone, and rather than attempting to pull it, he felt he instead had to break it out. Davesprite had already done the same before travelling back in time, and had already alchemized it into the superior Caledscratch, making the Caledfwlch more or less useless... for a while, as it's later used to create an Infinity +1 Sword called the Royal Deringer. | |

In order to get it you need to battle through 50 levels of the Dark Realm, with the implication that the demons have hidden it away.

Soul Eater: Excalibur is one of the series' living weapons, and also a self-aggrandizing lout that most others can't stand. On top of this, he is also a Great Old One, specifically the one associated with the Madness of Rage, embodied in his tendency to drive everyone around him nuts due to how annoying he is, and might even be said to be the reason behind everything in the plot — his very existence inspired Arachne to try and create her own kind of Living Weapon. | |

Marvel Universe: Captain Britain and MI13: The wielder of the sword is Dr. Faiza Hussain, a doctor of the Muslim faith with the strange mutant ability to dissect anyone non-magical to heal them. Excalibur is about several UK-based teams of mutants. In New Excalibur, the characters come in contact with the real deal when they travel back to Arthurian times. |

Heroine Chic: Side character Avalon is the mythical Lady of the Lake, and she wields King Arthur's legendary sword due to a loophole in Merlin's rules. The sword was meant only to be carried by King Arthur, but the Lady of the Lake had to be able to bequeath it upon him — and thus she gained an exemption to the Only the Chosen May Wield clause. She uses the blade in her work as a superhero in modern day New York, fighting super villains and extradimensional monsters in between brunch dates with her superpowered buddies. | |

The Harry Potter/Merlin (2008) crossover fic “Ancient Relics� includes the discovery that Voldemort has released Morgana from the Crystal Cave and seeks to make them both immortal with the Cup of Life, requiring Merlin to retrieve Excalibur from Avalon on the subsequent Halloween when the boundary between life and death is at its weakest (he can’t simply create an equivalent sword forged in a dragon’s breath as the available dragons won’t do that on a regular basis). Even hearing the sword’s name leaves Harry feeling like he’s in a fantasy book he read before Hogwarts, and the entire Order of the Phoenix are notably impressed when Merlin presents them with the sword (Ron is particularly amused at the irony of them using a sword forged by a muggle named Tom to kill Voldemort given his hatred of his birth name). | |

Le Morte d'Arthur as the definitive version of the Arthurian legend features his great sword. It features the story of Arthur being given Excalibur by The Lady of the Lake along with its scabbard. Oddly Arthur is depicted wielding Excalibur before this, a possible holdover from one of Malory's sources. At one point the blade is stolen by Morgan le Fay and used in an attempt to kill Arthur by giving him a fake while pitting him against an opponent who has the real sword. Arthur figures out the deception after his sword breaks and retrieves Excalibur to kill his enemy. The sword is thrown back into the lake by Sir Bedivere after the final battle where Arthur is fatal wounded by Mordred. | |

In Fate/Grand Order, Excalibur is forged within the British Lostbelt, or more accurately Lostworld, as one of the last parts of The Prophecy of the Avalon le Fae, the fairy sent from Avalon to absolve the sins of the fairies that didn't forge it in this timeline when the aforementioned alien superweapon Sefar wiped out all life on the planet. As part of this prophecy would have meant the destruction of the land of Britain, the first Avalon le Fae Morgan refused to accept this role, while the second one Altria Caster is prepared to sacrifice her life to complete it but instead the swordsmith Muramasa does so in her stead. Altria Caster then gives Chaldea the Lostworld's version of Excalibur for use against the similar extraterrestrial The Foreign God. | |

Final Fantasy has featured Excalibur or variant spellings as a weapon in nearly every game. If there's a sword wielding character, you can bet they'll end up wielding it. Several games in the series feature a shoddy knock-off Excalipoor. Sometimes it's pretty good if you throw it. It's usually found in the hands of Gilgamesh, who has once again mistaken it for the real deal. Final Fantasy IX has, in addition to the regular old Excalibur an even better Excalibur: Excalibur 2. It's pretty much impossible to get without specifically trying for it, since you need to reach almost the end of the game within 12 hours. In Final Fantasy X, Tidus's Infinity +1 Sword is called Caladbolg in western releases. In JP, it's called Ultima Weapon. Final Fantasy XIV takes both Excalibur and its original spelling and turns them into two different powerful swords. Excalibur is a special weapon that can be obtained by Paladins after obtaining the sword Curtana and converting it as part of A Realm Reborn's Zodiac Weapon storyline. The other weapon, Caladbolg, is a weapon for Dark Knights who complete their Stormblood questline. |

Kaamelott goes with the "sword in the stone" route. Arthur manages to pull the sword from the stone at age six (as he was chosen by the gods of Brittany), and it becomes a Flaming Sword whenever he wields it. He puts it back in the stone in Season 5 before disappearing. In Kaamelott: Premier Volet (The Movie), Arthur reclaims the sword, but it seemingly loses its powers... and regains them in the climactic duel pitting Arthur against Lancelot, only this time the flame is blue and produces lightnings. | |

The Secret World, being set in a world where All Myths Are True, quite naturally features Excalibur. It's actually the MacGuffin of the first major story arc. Having been stolen from its Arthurian resting place by Vikings, it was then taken to New England in order to help the Wabanaki tribe fight off an invasion by Mayans hell-bent on unleashing the entity slumbering under Solomon Island. Unfortunately, the sword was lost on the return journey and remained so until the 21st century, when it was accidentally discovered by a fishing vessel and brought back to Solomon Island; unfortunately, it brought the zombified Vikings with it — which is where the player gets involved. Eventually, Freddy Beaumont acquires the sword and tries to seize the Island's power with it before getting his ass handed to him by the player; unfortunately, Beaumont's Dark Mistress makes off with Excalibur immediately afterward and hasn't been seen since. | |

Arthur, King of Time and Space: Uther Pendragon, Arthur's father, allows people to believe his sword is the legendary Excalibur as a PR exercise. This is the sword that ends up in the stone, while the real Excalibur is in the care of the Lady of the Lake. That is, when it's not a starship, a global corporation, a marshal's badge... | |

Sonic and the Black Knight combines the sword backstories in a somewhat interesting way. At the very start of the game, Sonic draws a sword named Caliburn from a stone. Near the end, however, Sonic's Once an Episode Super Mode actually changes Caliburn into Excalibur, essentially making the sword in the stone and Excalibur into the same blade. And the Lady of the Lake does sort of give Excalibur to Sonic in this way; it's at her instruction that the method of activating this game's Super Mode occurs. | |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Excalibur and Caliburn are both Mythical/God-class swords wielded by the greatest Master Swordsman in the whole world. That man? It's Dino, the lazy and apathetic Fallen Angel who almost never fights seriously because it's not in his nature to do so, and in fact usually sticks to a slightly weaker BFS when he actually bothers to do so. | |

Fate/stay night Saber uses it. It's a Wave Motion Sword powerful enough to destroy skyscrapers on the lower settings, and could wipe out a good portion of a city at maximum power. Its considered an Anti-fortress-class weapon and is the only one of its class. In the Fate route, as Shirou fights Berserker, he projects his definition of the strongest sword, which turns out to be Caliburn. On his own he can't use it's full strength, but with Saber's assistance, even just the projected form of it was powerful enough to kill Berseker seven times over. Expanded materials further explain Excalibur's origins, including having been forged from the core of a star. In the prequel Fate/Zero, Excalibur disintegrates a Cthulhu knockoff. And in Fate/Extella it's revealed Excalibur was once used to destroy an alien superweapon that was powerful enough to fight and kill gods. That is the kind of power Excalibur possesses. In Fate/Grand Order, Excalibur is forged within the British Lostbelt, or more accurately Lostworld, as one of the last parts of The Prophecy of the Avalon le Fae, the fairy sent from Avalon to absolve the sins of the fairies that didn't forge it in this timeline when the aforementioned alien superweapon Sefar wiped out all life on the planet. As part of this prophecy would have meant the destruction of the land of Britain, the first Avalon le Fae Morgan refused to accept this role, while the second one Altria Caster is prepared to sacrifice her life to complete it but instead the swordsmith Muramasa does so in her stead. Altria Caster then gives Chaldea the Lostworld's version of Excalibur for use against the similar extraterrestrial The Foreign God. |

High School D×D: There were two holy swords originally wielded by King Arthur: The seven Excaliburs are fragments of the original Excalibur, each reforged into a new blade that possesses one of the Combo Platter Powers of the original: Excalibur Blessing, Excalibur Destruction, Excalibur Mimic, Excalibur Nightmare, Excalibur Rapidly, Excalibur Ruler and Excalibur Transparency. After the fall of Camelot, the strongest fragment (Ruler) remained with Arthur's descendants while the rest were eventually distributed between the Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican churches. Some of these were used by an unethical archbishop as part of the "Holy Sword Project", an attempt to create Child Soldiers capable of wielding them and similar weapons. The fragments are gradually recombined over the course of the series, with their incomplete form being used at one point as a Power Limiter for the Durandal. Caliburn/Collbrande, identified as the Sword in the Stone and "the ultimate Holy Sword", remains with Arthur's descendants. In addition to its immense holy aura, it is a Dimensional Cutter which can strike from impossible directions and serves as its wielder's main means of transportation. |

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword combines the two well known stories about how Arthur got the weapon, in addition to making it a sword with tremendous powers such as causing shockwaves. Arthur does retrieve it from a rock◊, proving he is the legitimate heir to the throne, then throws it into a lake later on out of fear of not controlling its powers. Then Arthur stumbles into a mud pool, the Lady of the Lake drags him into an abyss, gives it back to him◊, and he has a vision of a Bad Future dominated by Vortigern, which restores his confidence and allows him to finally harness the sword's powers. | |

The backstory of the Soul Series, like Secret of Mana above, establishes that Excalibur is but one of the forms Soul Calibur has taken on over the course of the history, with King Arthur being the second known wielder of the holy sword. Arthur was gifted by an "unbreakable blade" by a woman all but said to be the Lady of the Lake, which turned into Excalibur in his hands and was later used to defeat the King of the Saxons (who, unsurprisingly, was wielding Soul Edge at the time). | |

Deciding to just conquer things there, he retrieves Excalibur from the Lady in the Lake. However, Hercules and a younger Merlin manage to talk him into a Heel–Face Turn; he surrenders the sword to Hercules, who plants Excalibur into the stone, closing the Stable Time Loop and returning Arthur to his own time. | |

Once Upon a Time: Prince Charming used Excalibur to convince Snow White that she was the rightful ruler of The Enchanted Forest by showing that he was unable to pull it from the stone. She gained the confidence to face down her stepmother, Regina. After, Rumplestiltskin pointed out to her that only Arthur would be able to pull the real one from the stone, regardless of where the stone was. In the fifth season, Arthur pulls Excalibur out of the stone, only to discover that it's missing the tip. A cut reveals that the tip is the blade of the Dark One's dagger. It's later revealed that Excalibur was forged by Merlin from the melted down Holy Grail. |

Jericho (MLP): Although it's never once actually described, the sword that Jericho carries is suggested to be this. When Snechta, the High Priestess of the Cult of Chêngrêla, sees the sword, she goes wide-eyed and asks the sword is Caledfwlch, the blade of this world's King Arthur, Aloysius der Lichtbringer. Jericho shrugs and says that, in the Reich whence he comes, they called the sword Kaledfulch, but suggests that the two swords are "likely the same thing". It should also be noted that Jericho carries a pair of ammo-less revolvers, which, he notes, were given to him by a lady in a lake. The particular story almost exactly resembles the Lady in the Lake who gave King Arthur Excalibur. | |

Sword Art Online: Excalibur is the most powerful weapon in the otherwise Norse-themed VRMMORPG Alfheim Online, the setting of the second Story Arc. During the Fairy Dance arc itself, Kirito catches a glimpse of the weapon's hidden resting place (an icicle castle frozen into the roof of the game's underworld), but is unable to reach it. At the climax of the arc, Sugou/Oberon attempts to spawn in a copy of Excalibur to fight Kirito. Kirito stops him... then spawns in Excalibur himself and hands it to his opponent, knowing that Sugou is a thief with no clue how "his" game even works, and that he has no chance of defeating an experienced player even with an overpowered weapon. The Book 8 sidestory Caliber features the introduction of a new quest chain said to have Excalibur as a reward, which spurs Kirito to gather his friends and try to claim the weapon while he still has a chance. Within the game's lore, the "icicle castle" turns out to be a frozen lake created when the frost giants plunged Excalibur into the roots of the World Tree as part of their plans to invade the surface. Eventually the group succeed in destroying the castle by pulling Excalibur from its resting place... only to find that its actual name is "Holy Sword Excaliber" [sic]. Kirito surmises that the unusual spelling was a Pun on how the item is a Bragging Rights Reward which proves its wielder's caliber (at least, after all he went through to get it, he likes that explanation better than "one of the devs made a typo"). A Nerfed form of the weapon, "Fake Sword Caliburn", is also mentioned as the reward for the "normal" version of the quest chain, granted to parties who choose to side with the frost giants. |

Charmed (1998): The Lady of the Lake is killed by a demon, and the Charmed Ones come into possession of Excalibur, once more in the stone. Piper manages to pull it out, but it begins to corrupt her, as apparently anyone not "chosen" to wield it will eventually go mad with power. It turns out that Excalibur is actually destined for Wyatt, and Piper managed to pull it out because, as his mother, she's now the new Lady of the Lake. | |

Merlin (1998): Merlin is given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake. Merlin gives the sword to Uther Pendragon, but then takes it back when Uther proves not to be worthy of wielding it. He then places it into the care of the Rock of Ages, asking him to only relinquish it to a man with a good heart. A teenaged Arthur later shows up and successfully shifts it from the stone after the Rock witnesses his goodness. After Arthur's death, Merlin returns the sword to the Lady of the Lake. | |

Merlin (2008): It was created in the episode called "Excalibur", has been thrown into the lake by Merlin, was retrieved by his watery girlfriend, and is currently residing in a large stone. Interestingly, three seasons in and it has still not been named or identified as the legendary Excalibur, nor wielded by Arthur himself. By the end of the fourth series, Excalibur has been pulled out of the stone and is in Arthur's possession, but still hasn't been called "Excalibur". | |

Terraria: Excalibur was originally the last and best sword in the game, crafted with three other swords, and possessing an auto swing that makes it a very overpowered blade. A few updates later, the game introduced True Excalibur, a reinforced version of the blade. | |

Saint Seiya: The Gold Saints Capricorn Shura has Excalibur in his arms and legs. In the anime, it was said that in mythical times, Athena granted the legendary sword Excalibur only to a Saint who proved his undying loyalty towards the goddess. This technique is a very sharp blast, composed of extreme cosmo concentration released by his arms and legs movements. Since it is quickly released, it can be used multiple times. Shura passes his power to Shiryu's arm before dying. However, in order to use it, the Bronze Saint would have to burn his cosmos to a Gold Saint's level and raise it to the limit. |
