A famous, often completely mythical, conveniently uncopyrighted-yet-instantly-recognizable item, pulled from the realms of history, literature, or legend (if not all three). Examples of this trope pop up frequently, and have occurred in any number of genres — comedy, drama, science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, you name it. They can be spotted in cultures from the East to the West — and some date back surprisingly far. Some cultures have favorite items to use, such as the Holy Grail for the West or the Ame-no-Murakumo for Japan, but with modern globalization trends, we're seeing more and more stories pulling from others' usual lists — such as Japanese media like Neon Genesis Evangelion using the Lance of Longinus (a fabled item involved in the Crucifixion of Jesus). It can be a weapon, a MacGuffin, or hell, maybe both if it's a mystical doomsday device. Sometimes the trope shows up as Imported Alien Phlebotinum (seen often, for example, in Stargate SG-1), sometimes it's a mystical object, and occasionally it's both. Sometimes startling revelations are to be had about the object, sometimes it's straight out of the legends, heck, maybe it's even reconstructed from the original's spare parts. Regardless of its distinguishing features in the story, though, what makes it a Public Domain Artifact is its origin as an item from the collective myths of man, with all their familiar symbols. There's honestly no telling how long this trope has been around; while nowadays it's often used partly to avoid copyright infringement, it's been around much longer than the concept of copyright. Many authors (ancient and modern alike) have used these for the mythos attached to them, or simply because it's easier than inventing something out of whole cloth; if an author puts a supposedly mythical sword in their work, it needs to be supported, but when you hear "Excalibur," it doesn't take any explanation to understand how important it is. See the example of Durandal below, Sword of Hector... then Roland... then reforged for Ogier the Dane. Later authors namedropped former heroes to make their mystical artifacts even more mystical, making this Older Than Feudalism. In a series set in another world, these may appear, but under different names. They often function as a Plot Coupon; sometimes even entire sets of such artifacts will be used like this, leading to Gotta Collect Them All. In modern series, many of these items are made of low-grade unobtainium, especially if magic is downplayed or completely absent. There's about a one-in-three chance that Hitler either had it or was searching for it. As the book Angels of Light and Darkness put it: "If Hitler had half of what they say he had, he would have won the war." May be related to Alternate Landmark History. Frequently involved with an Historical In-Joke or instance of Been There, Shaped History. If weapons, they are almost certainly Named Weapons and examples of Stock Weapon Names. Sister trope to Public Domain Character. Landmark of Lore is also related, cover what are essentially Public Domain Locations. See also: Stock Unsolved Mysteries, particularly for items with alleged connections to historical figures or events (especially with religious figures such as Jesus or the Buddha). |

Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge to Wizardry 8 feature "Muramasa Blade" as one of the most powerful weapons in the game, usable only by the samurai class. In the Japanese translation, a typo resulted in its name becoming "Murasama", leading to a persistent mistaken belief among Japanese players that the weapon was intended as a composite of the Muramasa and Murasame (the latter of which was largely unknown outside Japan at the time). | |

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers: Don Murasame is a living version of the sword, usually wielded by a humanoid avatar of itself which acts as an Evil Counterpart to Don Momotarou. In a Pun which at least fits its water powers, said avatar is a purple ranger with a shark motif (mura[saki] same can be read "purple shark"). As an extra nod to its wielder in Hakkenden, Don Murasame has a youthful voice and is initially driven by obsessive loyalty to his "mother". | |

Devil May Cry 4: After defeating Dagon, Dante finds a weapon called Pandora, but it's not quite a box - it's a suitcase. It can take numerous forms and Dante eagerly tries out one after another. One its move is of note — form 666: Omen, where Pandora doesn't transform at all, but is actually opened in its default suitcase form and searing light emanates from within, stunning and damaging any who are exposed to it. It's then promptly closed by Dante after just two seconds. | |

Some Might and Magic games have it. Usually it is indistinguishable from regular fountains, however it removes all magically-induced aging. In VI it is incredibly handy considering one of best spells of Light Magic ages caster by 10 years, some nasty creatures can also age party members, age in this game does affect stats and only other way to cure aging comes in form of potion that permanently drops your stats. However, it is located in zone with high-level monsters, so it is inaccessible for quite some time. | |

The comic Usagi Yojimbo devotes two whole story arcs to the rediscovery and delivery for safekeeping of Kusanagi no Tsurugi. The focus is more on how the sword could be used to rally people to overthrow the shogunate and restore the emperor, but despite this the Grasscutter has some supernatural power - the evil Jei can't corrupt the blade as he does all others he wields and it's the only thing to actually kill him. Okay, so it didn't stick, at least it did better then most. Notably, the sword is also correctly depicted as double-edged, straight blade. Stan Sakai is famous for showing his work, with a few paragraphs on his research always included in the letters section too. Also in the fourth color special Usagi is forced to recreate the incident that gave the sword the Grasscutter name - a group attacking Usagi sets the grass around him on fire and he slashes the grass around him to create a safe area from the fire. |

Dungeons & Dragons (1983): "The Box" centers around the similar Zandora's Box, which acts as a portal to other dimensions depending on where it's opened. The kids actually make it home, but Venger follows them; his magic still works there, but theirs doesn't, so they have to leave again so he'll chase their items and leave Earth alone. He's tricked into going through another portal, but they can't use theirs again, as it was tied to a bridge that collapsed. | |

In Atlantis: Milo's Return, Gungnir is the artifact the third leg focuses on. It is in fact of Atlantean origin. A crazed shipwright named Eric Helstrom, under the delusion he was Odin, stole it from Mr. Whitmore's collection and attempts to use it to cause Ragnarok. He is prevented from doing so and the spear is instead used to raise Atlantis back above the surface of the ocean. | |

Symphogear: Fragments of Gungnir were used to create the Symphogears worn by Kanade, Hibiki and Maria. Its weapon is, what else, but a spear. Except when used by Hibiki, who cannot manifest a weapon and instead uses Bajiquan moves to "strike like a spear". Chris's Symphogear is supposedly based on Ichaival, the bow of the Norse god Ullr. Except that this was a research failure on the part of the writers, as Ichaival actually originated as the bow of a character named Ullr in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (where it's usually transliterated as "Yewfelle"). The cursed sword Dáinsleif appears in season 3, where its fragments are used to create the Ignite Module - a Symphogear upgrade which allows the armour's wearer to enter a spiky black Super Mode by forcibly activating its berserker state and then taking control of its power. Mjöllnir shows up in the videogame spinoff Symphogear XDU, where it fuses with Hibiki's Gungnir to grant her a more powerful form with control over lightning. Its Finishing Move, Unlimited Beat, follows the Once a Season tradition of being an ultimate attack named after the opening theme. |

It's the main artifact both sides are looking for in Assassin's Creed Syndicate after the first Shroud, which contained the Isu Consus inside it, was destroyed during an Assassin raid. It can't outright bring the dead back, but only from outright fatal wounds. The only way Dr. Alvaro Gramatica and Violet Da Costa could speak to Consus was to shoot the one wearing the Shroud in the head. The finale reveals that there's a second Shroud buried under Westminster Palace in London where it's fought for in two different eras: The first time between twins Jacob and Evie Frye and the Templar Grandmaster Crawford Starrick. The second time in modern day with Galina, Shawn and Rebecca against Sigma Team. The Templars win and grab the Shroud. | |

The Honjo Masamune shows up in Son of the Western Sea in Percy's possession, having found it after slaying the Yamata no Orochi to save Ryuujin's daughter. The last person to have possession of the weapon after World War 2 was eaten by Orochi, explaining why it turned up in the giant serpent's stomach. The sword itself is made from the Shinto pantheon's Jewel Steel, and Tsukuyomi enchants the sheath so only Percy can draw it until he dies. | |

One of the ships in The Matrix was technically called Mjolnir, but everybody called it "The Hammer". Probably because, as the special features on the Revolutions DVD demonstrate, nobody involved in the production could figure out how to pronounce it. Additionally, there's Theme Naming in the Mjollnir's crew members: all of them were named after guns, except the medic (who was named after a magazine) and the captain (who was named after Stephen King's gunslinger). Which fits this theme more, an unpronounceable Norse weapon or the thing that strikes off a cartridge? |

Also Marvel: in Loki: Agent of Asgard Loki has Gram, which even in this universe belonged to Sigurd and was used to kill a dragon, but has truth revealing powers and truly ridiculously complex origin story. Less surprisingly Loki also owns Laevateinn, which they apparently always had but never used before. According to Sigurd because it sucks beginning with its name ('damage twig'), maybe it's true, but maybe Loki just didn't want people to insult their Ancestral Weapon. | |

NetHack features the Tsurugi of Muramasa as the Samurai's quest artifact. Advantages include a chance to One-Hit Kill anything up to about human-sized via bisection (if that chance comes up against anything larger, like a dragon, it'll do double damage instead). Its main disadvantage is that it's two-handed, which can be bad news if it gets cursed. | |

Orochimaru of Naruto somehow has the Kusanagi (which the dub calls "The Grass Long Sword" and it literally means "Grass-cutting Sword") and stores it in his throat of all places, presumably because he is indirectly named after the legendary serpent Orochi, in whose body the Kusanagi supposedly originated. Though it's a katana in the manga, it is shown accurately as a straight blade in the anime, but also possesses the ability to extend and glows for some reason. The Mirror is held by a spirit that Itachi creates with a Dangerous Forbidden Technique that deflects all attacks... and ends up killing him. The Sage of the Six Paths wears a necklace that looks the Magatama, though it doesn't appear to be of any significance. Later revealed that all three users of the Dangerous Forbidden Technique mentioned above (Sasuke, Itachi, and Madara) all have a related attack that takes on the appearance of the Magatama. Sasuke merely generates fiery beads, while Itachi and Madara actually wield them in a massive necklace. |

Mabinogi has several types of Japanese-style swords available; the most powerful of which are the Muramasa and Masamune swords (1-handed and 2-handed, respectively). They are not unique, so are most likely named after their creators (the game is not entirely clear on that; however). They are not available in shops or as drops; but can only be acquired from the cash shop or as special event drops. | |

Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Done comedically in Dealing with Dragons, in which Cimorene discovers (through the bumbling of her Disposable Fiancé, Prince Therandil) that Kazul has a bottle with a djinn in it in one of her treasure rooms. Due to the djinn having sworn an oath to kill anyone who let him out after a certain amount of time, he tries to claim he has to kill them... except it turns out they let him out too early, during the time when he'd instead give three wishes to anyone who let him out. He ends up giving them one wish each in thanks for Cimorene's advice to go back into the jar until his time's up (by which point both she and Therendil will be dead of old age anyway) before going back in. | |

Under the Northern Lights: The Sampo occurs as a myth somewhat similar to the original one. While it is often called a mill, noone knows exactly what it was today, but it had the power to break a famine. Princess Luna reveals it as a wishing machine used by the "gods" to create the world, by transporting things or even abstract concepts to the user. It was cursed by Discord as a prank so that it always steals the things you get with a wish. | |

Power Rangers: An oddly Japanese-looking Mjolnir shows up in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, as a Cultural Translation of a Boukenger storyline involving the Conjuring Mallet above; in addition to its Sizeshifter powers from the stock footage, Thor is shown using it to create blasts of lightning. There's also the Spear of Neptune, although Neptune himself is not encountered. All the more interesting since one of the villains seven seasons earlier (Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue) was a demon named Loki (pronounced "lokai," though), and King/Lord Neptune himself appeared in that same season. How Overdrive's long-abandoned city of Atlantis squares with Power Rangers Time Force's ancillary materials placing Atlantis in the South China Sea is unknown.. |

In Demonbane, the Necronomicon is one of the main characters, and appears in the form of a young girl who usually goes by "Al Azif", shortened from Kitab al-Azif, the book's Arabic title. The reason it appears as a girl is said to be because the most powerful magic books are so potent that they generate a human body and soul for themselves. A number of other magical tomes from the Mythos also make appearances, though Al Azif is said to be the most powerful of all. | |

Kamen Rider Build: Pandora's Box is a cube found during a Mars expedition. Just the act of touching the Box while it was closed caused a World-Wrecking Wave that balkanized Japan into three regions divided by massive walls spitting out clouds of Nebula Gas, and drove the leaders of those regions mad with an instinctive urge to possess and open the Box. Actually opening the Box is how the Once-Green Mars became the barren rock it is today. It also contains the spirit of an alien from beyond our solar system, who used the power of the Box to destroy Martian civilization and plans to do the same to Earth. In this case it's simply named after the mythical Pandora's Box and nobody ever suggests that it's the same one. | |

Everworld: They belong to the dragon Nidhoggr, who acquired them after Dagda was eaten by Ka Anor. They're stolen by the fairies and serve as a MacGuffin that the heroes have to get back. Nidhoggr's favorite seems to be the Cauldron, which ironically was the one the fairies were most willing to part with. (Apparently all it makes is corn beef and cabbage.) | |

The DuckTales (1987)-episode "Sweet Duck Of Youth" sees Scrooge, Launchpad and his nephews searching for the Fountain after Scrooge gets reminded how old he is on his birthday. They find the Fountain with the help of an eldery man who searched the Fountain for 30 years. It turns out the water doesn't make one younger, but only the reflection of said person. Scrooge learns his lesson to accept his age and spends a world trip to the man who wasted half his life to find the Fountain. | |

The Fountain was the focus of the DuckTales (2017) episode "The Forbidden Fountain of the Foreverglades!" Scrooge and Webby race Goldie to the fountain, though Scrooge and Goldie are turned into teenagers, apparently due to the waters leaking into nearby rivers. It turns out the true cause was drinking water from a nearby hotel. Ponce de León had drained the fountain into said hotel, as the waters actually transfer youth instead of just granting it, so he set about stealing youth from teens on spring break via his pool. | |

Xanth: In Night Mare, Magician Humphrey, in preparing some of the defensive spells he expects will be needed during the invasion that forms the background of the story, turns out to have a box he took "from a very foolish young girl", without saying what it contains — except that it's dangerous. When Mare Imbri, near the end of the book, feels like she has nothing left to lose and, in preparing for a desperation attack, opens the box... releases the Hope trapped inside, and gains the determination and courage to perform the attack that ends the war. | |

Wolverine: Muramasa is a mad immortal who can create powerful weapons by imbuing them with a portion of someone's soul. These are known to include: The sword most commonly known as "Muramasa" - a (sometimes) blood-red katana which is Sharpened to a Single Atom and has the power to negate healing factors. Muramasa created this weapon for Wolverine using the depths of his rage and hatred at a particularly dark point in his life. A shield secretly created as a countermeasure for the above sword, using "parts of Logan he barely acknowledged at the time". Muramasa claims that while the sword was created to help Wolverine get revenge on his enemies, the shield was designed to help him protect himself and those he loves. The "Black Blade" - a weapon created from a part of Muramasa himself, which grants the wielder superhuman strength and endurance at the cost of driving them to madness and evil unless their will is strong enough to master it. |

Ghost in the Shell's protagonist, Motoko Kusanagi, is named after the sword. (It sounds roughly as natural to a Japanese speaker as "Jane Excalibur" would sound to an English speaker... which is probably why Masamune Shirow lampshaded it with a comment in his narration about it being "obviously a pseudonym".) In-Universe, it actually is a pseudonym. In every version of the series where her backstory is described, her birth name was either never given to her in the first place, or all records of her family were lost to her. | |

Serious Sam: Serious Sam: The Second Encounter: In the last two levels, Sam needs to find the Holy Grail to access a Sirian spaceship so he can leave Earth and confront the Evil Overlord Mental back on Planet Sirius. But before he can get to it, one of Mental's servants reaches it first and takes it to the Church of Sacred Blood somewhere in Eastern Europe. While the forces of evil can't actually do anything with it, they can keep it away from Sam. Serious Sam 4: The plot revolves around the Earth Defense Force trying to find the location of the Holy Grail, which they believe to actually be an alien artifact, to use it against Mental's armies and turn the tides of war in their favor. Most of the game is spent following the Alien Artifact Acquisition team on their journey to obtain the Holy Grail with the guidance of Badass Preacher Father Mikhail. Unfortunately, it turns out what they were seeking was not the Holy Grail at all, but rather an Artifact of Doom that the A.A.A.'s superior officer General Brand takes for himself, intending to hand it over to Mental and gain a position in the winning team. |

The Treasures' symbolism plays a key role in BlazBlue's plot. Amaterasu itself is, for lack of a better word, God, and Kusanagi is a living weapon whose sole purpose is to destroy Amaterasu. Also, here the Murakumo refers to thirteen Robot Girls that were specifically created by the NOL to traverse and guard the Boundary. The Kusanagi also has a Distortion Drive called "Yata no Kagami" which fires a Frickin' Laser Beam Spam in all directions, while the Susanoo Unit has a continually regenerating Magatama gauge instead of a Heat gauge like everyone else. In Central Fiction it's revealed that The Imperator's crown is actually the Yasakani no Magatama. Given that The Imperator is actually Izanami, the Goddess of Death, it's probably a bad thing that she's the one who wields it. Central Fiction also incorporates the Hihi'irokane as a mystical weapon - specifically, a Soul-Cutting Blade. | |

AdventureQuest has two parodies of this item: The Necromoron is an abridged version of the Necronomicon, and it increases Darkness resistance and gives bonus damage against undead. The Nekonomicon is a Lolcat version of the Necronomicon, which foretells a "cuddly apocalypse" where "The Old One" is a cat. It increases magic defense, and opening the book unleashes a magic spell that overloads its target with cuteness. |

In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Kyuemon uses a ceremonial mallet fitting this appearance as a Magic Wand, most often to revive and enlarge defeated monsters. It can also transform into a sword. His Power Rangers Ninja Steel counterpart, Madame Odius, cannot use her mallet to enlarge monsters, but can instead shrink them. | |

While it's not outright Mjolnir, Raiden owning a giant war hammer that he makes use of in Mortal Kombat 4 and keeps it ontop of his Sky Temple as a lightning rod in Mortal Kombat: Deception. Is definitely a reference to Mjolnir considering both are giant hammers used by gods of thunder. | |

Variation on the nails legend: in Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, reference is made to how the nails were fashioned. When the time came for Jesus to be crucified, the Roman soldiers needed to have nails made, but no one would make them once they found out who was to be crucified with them. After several fruitless attempts, the Roman soldiers finally wised up and didn't tell the next forger who the nails were for—until he had made three nails and was working on the fourth. Once he found out, he then refused to finish the last nail. The soldiers took the completed three, thus supposedly explaining why Jesus had his feet nailed together instead of separately—while the blacksmith and his family were forced to flee from terrible, nightmare visions of the unfinished nail following them everywhere they went. The forger was Roma... thus explaining why their people wander to this day. Considering the author got everything right about the origin of "Gypsy" and their being native to India, and that their depiction was both sympathetic and working hard to overturn a lot of stereotypes, these little lapses can be forgiven. Besides, it was a pretty good (albeit entirely fictional?) legend. It does bring up the question of why the Roman judicial court wouldn't have entire bushels full of nails already, given how common crucifixion was. (Although most crucifixions were done with rope, nails weren't that uncommon.) Or why they didn't simply buy or commandeer some from a construction project, given how Herod had been upgrading Jerusalem's infrastructure for years. |

After stumbling upon it on an assignment, V uses it to cut this way through more then fifty chromed-up men in a shootout without chipping despite the blade being nearly eight centuries old at that point. It's so cool that V is worried that the fiercely patriotic Saburo Arasaka would have V's head for using it as a meat cleaver. | |

Nansō Satomi Hakkenden: In the prologue, Fusehime is gifted a necklace as a Protective Charm to steer her family curse in a more positive direction; it consists of 100 small beads, and eight large beads inscribed with the Confucian Virtues (their odd placement on a Buddhist implement reflecting her struggle To Be Lawful or Good). With Fuse's Mystical Pregnancy and subsequent death, the necklace becomes a Dismantled MacGuffin - each of her bodiless spirit-sons is born to a different family with one of the Virtue beads inside their body, while Fuse's fiancé-turned-monk Chuudai restrings the 100 small beads into a tool which lets him detect the large beads' presence. When he finally succeeds in reuniting Fuse's children, the beads' markings and supernatural powers fade away; eventually the Satomi family considers them simply mundane trinkets and repurposes them as decoration for statues. | |

Batman: Circe, former partner of Black Mask (i.e. not the Wonder Woman villainess), offers to use a replica of this, allegedly belonging to the pharaoh Ankh-Es-Anon, to "heal" Two-Face's broken psyche. It appears to work at first, and even seems to repair his face, but then he rips off the skin to reveal a totally scarred face, declaring he's seen through Circe's trick — there is no such pharaoh, after all. However, half of said scars turn out to be makeup, but it appears the events of the story have sent Harvey's psyche off the deep end (more so than usual). And the whole thing was Batman's plan. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. | |

Fables seems to be extremely fond of this trope — which considering it also uses public domain ''characters'' as the primary basis for its main cast (even relatively obscure ones like Rose Red), should probably not surprise anyone in the least. Public Domain Artifacts in the series include the fountain of youth (which the fables drink from yearly to remain ageless), the magic beans (from which come magic beanstalks, of course), the Vorpal Sword (as described in Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" poem... no, really genuinely as described in the poem, including an accompanying "snicker-snack!" sound effect...), the Witching Cloak, the magic barleycorns that Tom Thumb's bride was supposed to have grown from, Boy Blue's horn, a magic lamp, several magic carpets a la Aladdin, and... really countless such objects, actually. Even Santa's "Naughty and Nice" lists make a brief appearance. | |

In Dawn of the Breakers (a videogame which includes a number of Virtual Youtubers as Guest Fighters), it's explained that Fubuki bought it in a junk sale, where its ability to generate water was regarded as largely a party trick; in her hands however it acts as a constant supply of moisture, allowing her to use ice-based attacks more easily by channelling them through the blade. | |

It can also act as a focus for Fubuki's ability to form pipefox spirits into objects, transforming it into various harder-hitting weapons such as hammers and spears. | |

One man did, releasing all of the world's evils: envy, greed, pride, violence and control. The only thing left in the box was a single ray of light: hope. He then tells her that she is that ray of light, the Resistance's only hope. | |

In Final Fantasy XI the Mjollnir is the relic weapon for White Mages, of all jobs. Gungnir is the relic weapon for Dragoons, which lets you use the weapons skill "Geirskögul," which was a Valkyrie in Norse Mythology. Ragnarok was the Great Sword relic weapon, usable by Warriors, Paladins, and Dark Knights. The Bard's relic musical instrument was the Heimdall's Gjallarhorn. A Black Mage's mythic weapon was Laevateinn, a more obscure Norse artifact. FFXI kind of loves this trope. | |

Soul Sacrifice has the Sacred Chalice, which was renamed from the Holy Grail to avoid tension in Europe where Arthurian legend is still pretty important. The Chalice appears before individuals who have crossed the Despair Event Horizon and offers to make their wish come true. Should they accept, the chalice will take a sacrifice from them and transform them into a horrifically-mutated mockery of their wish: an Archfiend. Yeaaaaah, turns out the Chalice is the creation of the resident God of Evil meant to sow chaos, greed and destruction. | |

Though the artifacts themselves don't appear, certain characters from The King of Fighters are named for them: Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami (former clan name: Yasakani). Chizuru Kagura is not named for her artifact (though her clansmen used to refer themselves as the Yata clan), but has been shown to be a vessel for the Yata Mirror. They do, however, appear in the live-action movie. In The King of Fighters: KYO, the Yata Mirror does appear. Chizuru can use it as a normal Magic Mirror, watching over Iori and Kyo's Battle in the Rain when she's not there. In the OP of KOF XIII, a short sequence around 0:20 shows Chizuru, Iori and Kyo floating nude in a void alongside the game's rendition of the Amaterasu Treasures. (Heavy spoilers, obviously.) As a Genius Bonus, Kyo's Kusanagi no Tsurugi is not represented as a katana, but as the double-edged longsword it should be. Similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG example above, a group known as the Ten Sacred Treasures are included in the GBA-exclusive EX series, consisting of Moe Habana (Yatsuka no Tsurugi), Reiji Oogami (Hetsu Kagami), Jun Kagami (treasure unknown), Miu Kurosaki (treasure unknown), and Sinobu Amou (Makaru Kaeshi no Tama). In a peculiar move, Kyo, Iori, and Chizuru are counted as part of the Ten note the Yagami Team's story in EX2 has Jun state that there are six of the Ten present when Iori, Jun, and Miu face Kyo, Moe, and Reiji, even though the Three Sacred Treasures are not the same artifacts (and, in fact, are likely the source that the legend of the Ten Sacred Treasures is derived from), meaning that three of the actual ten treasures don't exist in the KOF verse. |

The Golden Fleece is actively used in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It has healing properties and certain power over Nature. In the second book, Sea of Monsters, Percy and his friends go on an Argonauts-inspired quest to look for the Fleece in order to heal Thalia's tree (a tree that guards the borders of Camp Half-Blood against monsters), which has been poisoned by the Big Bad. On healing the tree, the Fleece also brings Thalia herself, Zeus's daughter, back to life. | |

After arriving to a 20th century America, they find de león guarding a drinking fountain in a park, which he claims to be the real deal because it has a "Youth" sign next to it. As I. R. drinks from the fountain. Weasel points out it's because there's nearby fountain with a "Adult" sign next to it. Realizing the mistake, Pantless de León agrees to return to Spain. While returning, Fridge Logic kicks in as I. M. Weasel wonders why Pantless hasn't aged a bit despite being in America for several years. Cue to Pantless and Baboon having been turned into babies. | |

In Sailor Moon, all three treasures became the primary weapons of Sailor Uranus ("Space Sword", based on the Kusanagi), Sailor Neptune (the Mirror), and Sailor Pluto (the necklace, or the jewel from it at any rate, which became the Garnet Orb on her staff). The items are so powerful in combination that — bizarrely enough — they can call into existence another Public Domain Artifact on this page: the Holy Grail. Which is, of course, really just another excuse to add another transformation sequence/fancy outfit/power-up for Sailor Moon, who is (appropriately enough) the Messianic Archetype of the series. | |

These make a heavily implied appearance in Whitechapel (TV Series) in which an elderly woman (also heavily implied to be Lucifer given her name is Louise Iver) uses large nails to puncture holes in the police station's plumbing, leading to water/electricity damage and a successful attempt at messing with the team's heads. When Miles finds them, he asks others if they look familiar... | |

The Sampo was a major plot point in the featured film from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode The Day the Earth Froze. Again, the artifact is continuously mentioned, and even used, without it ever being explained just what the hell it's supposed to be, leading the Satellite of Love crew to have endless fun with the concept, culminating in a fan contest asking people to send in their own ideas of what a "sampo" is. The winner: a photo of a small TV set with the brand name "Sampo" showing a frame of MST3K. | |

Heroes of Might and Magic uses the Grail as side objective (and sometimes the win condition of certain maps). It varies between games, but typically it works by consulting special structures that reveal puzzle pieces, eventually showing where the Grail is buried. Finding it allows the player to build an insanely powerful structure in the town they take it to. | |

Pony POV Series: Pandora is the Goddess of Imagination, and multiple boxes exist. Some are used to imprison her creations that got too far out of hand, and others contain essence given to her by other Gods for use in creating stories. The two that have ended up on Equus, however, definitely ended badly: the first one contained dark magic, and released it into the world when Morning Star, resulting in the creation of Hydia's clan, numerous monsters, and Lord Tirek himself. The other was the prison of the entity that would become General-Admiral Makarov. | |

Enchanted rings which confer Invisibility (and the closely related Chameleon effect) are quite popular throughout The Elder Scrolls series. Most famous is the legendary Ring of the Khajiit, allegedly stolen from the arm of a Daedric Prince.

The Ark is one of the Noble Phantasms of David (as in the David) in Fate/Grand Order. It has the power to One-Hit Kill anyone who touches it without permission, and is potent enough to bypass Heracles' God Hand, instantly taking all twelve of his lives. Getting that to work requires David to get someone to actually touch the Ark though, so it's generally pretty useless as a weapon and can't be used against enemies in gameplay. The Ark does however become David's Bond Level 10 Craft Essence, and equipping it gives him a 10% chance to instantly kill a target on hit. | |

Chris's Symphogear is supposedly based on Ichaival, the bow of the Norse god Ullr.

The Final Fantasy games often contain this rare item that can be equipped as a helmet, often changed in translation to "Thornlet" to avoid controversy. It gives a character maximum protection against attacks, but inflicts a status ailment that constantly drains their HP (as if they were wounded and bleeding). | |

An artifact card in the Magic: The Gathering, The Dark expansion, which also popped up in the book based on it. It's randomly located in some village. The main character hides in it from some goblins and so unwittingly gains immortality. Humorously, the card's flavor text explains why no one else ever discovered its true nature. No one wants to drink from a fountain where (now immortal) pigeons bathe. | |

The Witcher: Aerondight is one of the best silver swords of the first game. Geralt can gain the sword after Completing a series of quests in act 4 to The Lady of The Lake's liking. It returns in the Blood and Wine DLC of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, where Geralt gets it back provided that he's made decisions that have upheld the five chivalric virtues of a knight. | |

Parzival, by Wolfram von Eschenbach, is the Trope Codifier. Parzival, destined to be its keeper, is initially found unworthy to guard it, before embarking on a spiritual struggle to find it. In Wolfram's telling, the Grail is a (precious) stone or "thing", but its true importance lies in how it sustains the community around it. It has a number of useful properties, it can provide you with food and transmit messages; a chaste virgin may lift it on her own, but a sinner cannot, no matter how physically strong he is. | |

The Confessions of Peter Crossman: In Stealing God,, the Holy Grail is Hidden in Plain Sight, with the Knights Templar keeping an eye on it. Part of the reason it's so hard to find is that all the stories about it being a cup or a dish are wrong (and the Templars have encouraged them to keep people off the scent); Wolfram von Eschenbach's description is said to have been closest to what it actually looks like. | |

Mjolnir is wielded by Beatrice Flowerchild in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA since she possesses the Berserker class card connected to Thor. The hammer is roughly three times her size and requires her to enlarge her entire arm just to hold it. Mjolnir turns out to be a massive Red Herring for this Berserker's True Name - rather than being derived from Thor, the card is instead derived from Magni, one of Thor's sons who inherited the hammer after his father's death during Ragnarok. | |

hololive: Shirakami Fubuki has been shown to wield the sword in tie-in media that require her to be good at fighting: In Dawn of the Breakers (a videogame which includes a number of Virtual Youtubers as Guest Fighters), it's explained that Fubuki bought it in a junk sale, where its ability to generate water was regarded as largely a party trick; in her hands however it acts as a constant supply of moisture, allowing her to use ice-based attacks more easily by channelling them through the blade. In the manga Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~ it allows Fubuki to perform a number of Special Attacks including Snowfox Barragenote 雪矢�々, Frostblade Burstnote 霜刃柱 and Ice Dome,note 氷雪�界 though it has a limited supply of water which can run out in intense battles. It can also act as a focus for Fubuki's ability to form pipefox spirits into objects, transforming it into various harder-hitting weapons such as hammers and spears. |

Appears twice in Super Sentai: Appears in GoGo Sentai Boukenger as one of the legendary "Precious", which is found by Ryuumon and used to enlarge his Mooks to beyond the size of the Boukenger's Humongous Mecha. Notably, in its Foreign Remake Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, the mallet is instead referred to as Mjolnir. In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Kyuemon uses a ceremonial mallet fitting this appearance as a Magic Wand, most often to revive and enlarge defeated monsters. It can also transform into a sword. His Power Rangers Ninja Steel counterpart, Madame Odius, cannot use her mallet to enlarge monsters, but can instead shrink them. |

Another notable example occurs in the first two Sakura Wars games, in which they are called the "Majinki" (meaning "Demon God Weapons"). They can grant whoever uses them the power of a god... or a demon. They are stolen and used by the Big Bad in the first game, and are destroyed in the second game to prevent the second game's Big Bad from doing likewise. They also allow someone from the Shinguji bloodline to banish the Kouma Demons at the cost of their life... which also plays into Oogami's decision to destroy them, as Sakura does consider their use — like her father Kazuma did in the first war. |

In Spelunky, you can find the Book of the Dead inside the City of Gold, guarded by Anubis II, and it's got an Evil Dead-esque face on it. It's required to locate and open the door to Hell, which is somewhere at the bottom of Olmec's Lair. | |

Chrono Trigger features two characters named "Masa" and "Mune", who combine to create a big windblowy boss called "Masamune"; they're actually the spirits of the sword Masamune. Oddly enough, in the original Japanese they had nothing to do with the Masamune; they were "Grand" and "Leon", and the sword's name was (wait for it) GrandLeon (which makes a bit more sense, as the "Masamune" in the game is a European-style cruciform sword and not a katana). The Masamune returns in Chrono Cross, having been corrupted at some point between the games since it was created with a piece of Lavos. After going on a quest, Masa and Mune's sister Doreen merges with them to transform the Masamune into the Mastermune (aka Grandream), Serge's ultimate weapon. |

An episode of Hercules: The Animated Series had Herc join Jason and his Argonauts on a lifelong quest for the fleece, rumored to have a grab bag of miraculous powers. When they do find it, they're disappointed to find it only grants flight to whatever it touches, which Hercules and a number of his friends are already capable of through their own means. This overlooks both that flight is still uncommon to the general public, and that the fleece can be used to make Jason's whole ship fly. | |

In God of War (PS4), the smiths who forged Mjolnir, Brok and Sindri, are supporting characters who aid Kratos and Atreus by providing crafting services. They are deeply ashamed of forging Mjolnir since Thor used it to slay countless Giants. Thor's sons Magni and Modi are in fierce competition with each other over the right to inherit the hammer. The hammer itself finally made an appearance in The Stinger when Thor appears in front of Kratos house in Atreus's dream. | |

Accel World: Discussed in book 19. While in an area based on the Imperial Palace which contains three powerful items, the cast note that a Regalia theme would be obvious, but that the two known items are a sword (The Infinity)... and a suit of armour (The Destiny), which don't seem to fit. Graphite Edge explains that this is because they only saw The Destiny's appearance after it was corrupted into The Disaster; in its original state it had an appropriate mirror-like sheen. He also adds that currently the Sword and Mirror in the real Imperial Palace are replicas, with the Magatama being the only item that hasn't been moved to a shrine elsewhere in the country, which might be why its Brain Burst counterpart is so much harder to reach than the others. | |

In Shaman King, the Futsu-no-Mitama (referred to as "The Antiquity" in the anime dub) is given to Yoh partway through the story, after which he can achieve a stronger Oversoul by holding his first medium (the katana Harusame) in his right hand and the Futsu-no-Mitama in his left. It is depicted as a short, leaf-shaped blade carved from red stone (possibly Hihi'irokane). | |

One episode of Mythbusters had the team investigate the "Baghdad Batteries", supposed ancient batteries used by the Babylonians. One of the tests used a recreation of the Ark as a means of testing spiritual resolve. It was assumed plausible, though they believed that the batteries had too weak of a charge to actually do anything and if they did feel it, they would think it to be a divine action because of the lack of understanding of electricity. | |

Child of the Storm has Mjolnir and Gungnir, is in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as Laevateinn - which, here, is a wand, which contained embers of the Phoenix force. Or at least, it used to be. Currently, drained, it's pretending to be a phoenix feather, and has since served as a container for Harry's mind, and a container for a Dark Phoenix's worth of power. What it actually is and where it came from is up for speculation, but it's hinted that it might actually be the Twilight Sword, or a fragment of it. | |

Titan Quest has an entire expansion pack dedicated to Celtic and Norse mythology. The player character fights against the Norse Gods themselves when under Loki's ruse. Not only will they use items like Gungnir and Brisingamen against the player, but the player can also find such items as rare drops. Mjölnir naturally is a hammer that does loads of Lightning and Electrical Burn damage, and even has a special Chain Lightning attack. Gungnir is a spear that specializes in Elemental (magical) damage, while most spears are only physical. Gram is a powerful sword that rarely does lots of Piercing and Bleeding damage, and it gives bonus damage against certain bosses in the game. Lævateinn is the the Flaming Sword. It deals Fire and Burn damage in addition to physical damage, and increases Fire and Burn damage, increases Fire and Freeze resistance, and increases the power of skills in the Earth mastery. Tyrfing shows up as a powerful physical sword. It gives a whopping +40% attack speed and 20% chance of +100% total damage (not just one damage type, unlike other weapons), among other bonuses. Attacking with it sends out projectiles that curse the enemy with Fumble and Impaired Aim. Enchanting a weapon with the Essence of Donar's Hammer with it gives it a chance to stun, as well as deal extra damage and receive less damage against Giants. |

Nasuverse Gungnir is mentioned in passing in Fate/stay night as similar to how Servant Lancer's Gae Bolg works as a throwing spear. Saber of Black from Fate/Apocrypha wields Balmung, as his true identity is Siegfried. Like Excalibur listed above, he can use it as a Wave Motion Sword. Gram is stated to be the strongest demonic sword, being the antithesis and equal to Excalibur, although this is never actually shown. Like in mythology, it's the sword of Sigurd, who is a completely different person from Siegfried in this universe. Naturally, Gilgamesh also has a copy of it in his Gate of Babylon. Mjolnir is wielded by Beatrice Flowerchild in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA since she possesses the Berserker class card connected to Thor. The hammer is roughly three times her size and requires her to enlarge her entire arm just to hold it. Mjolnir turns out to be a massive Red Herring for this Berserker's True Name - rather than being derived from Thor, the card is instead derived from Magni, one of Thor's sons who inherited the hammer after his father's death during Ragnarok. |

In Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle Kusanagi is Demon King Twilight's strongest weapon that constantly shines like the Sun which he decided to keep in the Forest of Sacred Treasure. Princess, having her biological clock be messed up due to lack of natural sunlight in the Demon Castle, goes to the forest to retrieve Kusanagi so that she use it as a light source to wake up properly each day. Oddly enough, the anime adaptation redesigns the sword to be more of a traditional fantasy sword and renames it to be the "Sword of Valor". | |

Two versions of it exist in Soul Series: Ivy has a Whip Sword variant called Kaleidoscope, while Siegfried in the first game can wield the normal variety: it has low damage and durability but rapidly recovers the weapon gauge, allowing him to spam his Critical Edge liberally. | |

Each of the protagonists in Kamiko is bestowed one of the Imperial Regalia at the beginning of the game to use as their weapon. Yamato fights with the Blade of Kusanagi, Uzume uses the Magatama of Yasakani as an arrowhead for her arrows, and Hinome uses the Mirror of Yata as a Precision-Guided Boomerang. | |

Dota 2: Necronomicon was an evolving item that temporarily spawned a duo of small demons, a melee warrior and an archer, to fight for the user. The item could be upgraded twice to spawn more powerful summons, both in raw numbers and additional abilites. It was removed in patch 7.29 - probably because of problems with balancing heroes who synergized too well with controllable allies. | |

Every time it appears, Amaterasu is able to use it as a lightning rod via Thunderstorm, with this use being necessary for solving various puzzles and even defeating Ninetails.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire accidentally subverted this trope. The heroes are able to find Atlantis because they got their hands on both the Shepherd's Journal (a road map to the place) and a linguist who was able to actually read it. In the DVD voiceovers, the creators mentioned several responses from viewers congratulating them for actually using the Shepherd's Journal for extra authenticity. Ironically, the legend of the Shepherd's Journal begins and ends with Disney's Atlantis — there was no such artifact, legendary or otherwise. | |

Trails Series: In Trails of Cold Steel I and II ClaÃomh Solarion is an Orbal Art, though it doesn't take the form of a sword. Instead, it appears as a giant metal arm that reaches through a portal above the battlefield before blasting its target with a massive laser beam. Trails of Cold Steel II also introduces Altina, whose combat shell (a weaponised Robot Buddy) is outright named ClaÃomh Solais, and it indeed can turn into a giant rocket-powered sword, among other things. Since following games feature Altina in major roles, the aforementioned spell wasn't carried over into them. |

Project Superpowers: The box (as an urn) is the major lynchpin of the comic book series. They've done the research; Pandora was originally given an urn, not a box. It wasn't until Erasmus of Rotterdam miscopied πίθος ("urn") as Ï€Ï�χις ("box") in the 16th century CE — scholars speculate that either he was confusing Pandora and Psyche, who was associated with a box — that Pandora became associated with a box rather than an urn. | |

Once Upon a Time: Season 5 reveals that the Grail is the source of most of the magic in the setting, good and evil. Merlin found it thousands of years ago, and drinking from it granted him immortality and gave him his vast magical powers, and he later melted it down and reforged it into Excalibur in an attempt to render himself mortal again. Unfortunately, before he could do that, Nimue selfishly drank from it to gain magic and immortality as well, so that she could take revenge on the warlord Vortigen for destroying her village. Her killing of him subsequently corrupted the Grail's magic within her, turning her into the first Dark One. | |

The first Highlander film. Ramirez's katana — and subsequently, Connor's katana — was made by Masamune, making them one of the only works to get the whole swordsmith/sword name thing right. However, Ramirez claims that he was given the sword after marrying Masamune's daughter in 543 A.D., which puts Masamune's existence about 800 years earlier than in reality. Connor's love interest Brenda lampshades this by referring to the sword as being "like finding a 747 before the Wright Brothers". | |

Empire of the Vampire: The Holy Grail shows up, initially described a near carbon copy of the real-world artifact. Apparently, it was held by San Michon to "catch the blood of the Redeemer as he lay dying on the wheel". Later it was carried forth by crusaders spreading the One Faith across the Empire. As it turns out, the "catching blood" part of the saying was a bit more metaphorical than people assumed, since the Holy Grail is actually the Redeemer's descendant, Dior Lachance, invested with His powers. | |

Digimon Tamers: Most of Dukemon's arsenal consists of weapons named after legendary weapons of Norse mythology. In his base form he wields a lance called Gram, and as Crimson Mode he wields dual energy weapons named Blutgang and Gungnir.

Harry finds the real Shroud in Skin Game in a vault belonging to Hades, along with the Holy Grail, the placard from the True Cross, Crown of Thorns, and Lance of Longinus. He notes that it seems a lot frailer than the one he encountered before and surmises that that one was a replica made by the Church. It's speculated that the one he saw earlier still had power because people thought it was the real one; as such it gained some measure of the power it was believed to have had. | |

GURPS Magical Items 3 features "God's Cup" which is the Holy Grail interpreted for the GURPS Goblins setting. It has the same origin, and is a golden chalice which can heal any ill ... if the user is suitably Godly. An unworthy user instead receives a Bolt of Divine Retribution. Naturally, this includes most goblins. | |

Serious Sam 4: The plot revolves around the Earth Defense Force trying to find the location of the Holy Grail, which they believe to actually be an alien artifact, to use it against Mental's armies and turn the tides of war in their favor. Most of the game is spent following the Alien Artifact Acquisition team on their journey to obtain the Holy Grail with the guidance of Badass Preacher Father Mikhail. Unfortunately, it turns out what they were seeking was not the Holy Grail at all, but rather an Artifact of Doom that the A.A.A.'s superior officer General Brand takes for himself, intending to hand it over to Mental and gain a position in the winning team. | |

In Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character, the "Miracle Mallet" is an oni tool which can grant the wishes of an inchling wielder, but the oni who made it enchanted the thing so it would only grant wishes that either benefit the oni or ruin the wielder; besides, it has a finite amount of energy, which can be exhausted fairly quickly. While Issun-boushi saw the dangers of the mallet and used it only to increase his own size, his descendants became greedy and abused its power, eventually leading them to become trapped in "a land of oni". The Big Bad, Shinmyoumaru, is largely ignorant of all this, being tricked into "standing up for the little guy" by using her people's forbidden mallet to make weak youkai more aggressive and to bring objects to life. Interestingly, the mallet was edited out of Shinmyoumaru's silhouette on the cover for being too recognizable. | |

Groo the Wanderer: The "Sword's of Groo" story tells how Groo gained his swords and the backstory of the blades seems to be partially based on the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. The swords were forged by the Japanese-themed gods and served as part of the regalia of the emperor of a Japanese-themed culture. Considering Stan Sakai served as letterer on the Groo comics and is a friend of Sergio Aragonés, Sergio would be more then likely to know about the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. | |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Grail — the cup from which Jesus drank and that caught His blood — grants eternal life to those that drink from it, and is hidden in a secret cave in Palestine. It is hidden amongst many other cups, and, if you choose the wrong one, instead of gaining eternal life you'll die very quickly instead. On top of that, you can't leave the area where the grail is, or you lose the eternal life part and become mortal again. This explains why the knight in the cave, while very old, is still alive, while his contemporary brethren who left the area have long passed on. A central point in the trial is that the grail isn't a golden cup with jewels encrusted on the sides as one may imagine, but an ordinary, plain wooden cup — the kind that a common carpenter would have drunk from note albeit one that, fitting the dignity of a cup that held Christ's blood, is gilded on the inside. Elsa Schneider attempts to leave with the grail, but she steps on the "Great Seal", which sets off an earthquake trap meant to keep anyone from taking it. During the chaos, the grail falls on a small ledge and Elsa, dangling from Indy's arms, desperately reaches for it, but her hand comes up inches short. Her attempt to recover the grail fails and she falls to her death. Indiana tries reaching as well, and nearly follows her fate, but his dad convinces him to "let it go". In the end, the Grail is lost forever. | |

In Legends of Tomorrow, the Legends decide that one way to permanently keep the Spear of Destiny out of the hands of the Legion of Doom is to find the blood of Christ. (the Spear was empowered when it pierced Christ, impregnating it with his blood, so the Legends reasoned that the blood can also rob the Spear of its power, allowing them to destroy it.) | |

Taking it even further than that is the character Gilgamesh, whose ability is basically that he owns the originals of every Public Domain Artifact ever. Though theoretically he only has the originals if they were of Earthly origin, as fits his legend of traveling the Earth and gathering all of its treasures. This is why he doesn't have a prototype Excalibur in his arsenal, as Fate canon has it being forged in Avalon by the Fae. | |

Charmed (1998): Pandora's Box shows up in a last season episode, with a superpowered Guardian (named "Hope") who was to protect it so that demons (or anyone really) would not be able to open it and release the ills within. Naturally said Guardian knew nothing about all this and had to go through a (relatively short) How Do I Shot Web? bit before she could save the world. Interestingly, since the Box had already been opened long ago to originally release its contents, doing so now merely intensified the bad traits of humanity — which, aside from the obvious negative consequences, helped to tilt the balance of power toward evil. | |

Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has a high-frequency sword called the "Murasama", likely a a Shout-Out to the Wizardry example below. And since the quality of a high-frequency blade depends on the quality of the sword it was made from, and the sword is very high quality, it is a very sharp, very strong red blade and turns out to be the only one that can damage Senator Armstrong at all. | |

Fate/hollow ataraxia: Archer uses replicas of Hrunting, modified into arrows, as long-range Broken Phantasms (similar to his use of Caladbog in Fate/stay night). Besides their raw power, they move at incredible speed and continue to seek out the target as long as Archer keeps aiming at them. | |

In Peter Schlemihl The Shadowless Man, Schlemihl, in exile once his condition is revealed and he has lost his position and fortune, finds casually a pair of boots which happen to have these properties. In spite of how prodigious the finding is, he manages to be unhappy about it, because given the disposition of certain countries and islands, he would never be able to visit them due to the length of his stride. He finds that he can wear wooden shoes over the boots if he wants to avoid jumping around without taking the boots off. | |

Lupin III: Lupin steals the mask in one episode of the second series and decides to wear it as a joke. He promptly becomes hypnotized by it into believing he is Tutankhamun, leading both his own gang and his rival Zenigata on a wild chase to catch and remove the mask from him before he goes nuts for good. | |

In the Hellsing manga Alexander Anderson uses in his final fight with Alucard one of the Vatican's most important relics, "Helena's Nail", to turn himself into a inhuman monster. According to Catholic tradition, Helena of Constantinople, mother of Emperor Constantine I, was the discoverer of the remains of the True Cross. She is said to have affixed at least one nail to the bridle of her son's horse to give him protection in battle. | |

In YuYu Hakusho, Kurama and Hiei first appear as thieves who stole the three treasures from King Enma's palace along with Goki. The Sword has the power to turn living organisms it has cut into demons, the Mirror can grant the user one wish on a full moon in exchange for their life, and the Jewel has the ability to suck human souls out of their bodies and store them. Hiei uses the Sword to create demon minions, Goki uses the Jewel (which is not a necklace or in the shape a tama) to store and eat human souls, and Kurama uses the Mirror to heal his human mother Shiori (but with Yusuke's help, he doesn't die for it). | |

All of the blades of Muramasa and Masamune are present in Harry and the Shipgirls, all having become Tsukumogami due to how long they've existed. Special mention goes to Juuchi Yosamu, Muramasa's Magnum Opus, who is the Potter Honor Blade specifically because they're the only ones capable of being immune to the Unstoppable Rage that anyone else who wields her succumbs to. |

In Saint Seiya, there are 108 Specters of Hades. Gold Saint Virgo Shaka has a rosary with 108 beads as well, and when the Specters invade Sanctuary, he terrifies them by pointing out how each bead that goes dark represents a defeated Specter... and most of the rosary has gone dark by then, thanks to the efforts of Athena's Saints. | |

Shadows Awakening: The regalia were stolen and corrupted long ago by the Dark Champion of the Shadowkhan (the ones on public display are explained as being duplicates made to hide the fact), and were scattered and hidden when he was defeated. Together, they can open a portal to the Forge of Shadows, the place where the Shadowkhan were originally created, but they seem to have individual powers as well. At the very least, the Kusanagi possesses the person wielding it, turning them into a mindless berserker. The Yata no Kagami, now the Mirror of Despair, puts Tohru into a coma when he looks into it, trapping him in a vision of a Bad Future until Uncle is able to wake him up. The Jewel can be used to bring a person's darkest thoughts and self-doubts to life as shadow doppelgangers of themselves. They can't cause physical harm, but the emotional damage can be just as bad. |
