== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Soul Eater|Excalibur!]] [[Equippable Ally|Excalibur!]] [[Mean Brit|From United King]], [[Talking Weapon|I'm looking]] [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|for him]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|I'm going to California!]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Excalibur!]] [[Large Ham|Excalibur!]] [[Crazy Awesome|EXCALIBUR!]]
* Though definitely not the actual sword, HolyAngemon and Seraphimon's [[Laser Blade]] [[Blade Below the Shoulder|Below the Shoulder]] in ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' is called Excalibur.
* The name is taken for a [[Humongous Mecha]] sword used by the [[Ace Pilot|head of the Knights of the Round]] in ''[[Code Geass]]''.
Line 77:
* The ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series 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 [[Joke Item|Excalipur]]. Sometimes it's pretty good if you [[Lethal Joke Item|throw it]]. It's usually found in the hands of [[Running Gag|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: [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Excalibur 2]]. It's pretty much impossible to get without specifically trying for it.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and the Black Knight''
* Deconstructed in ''[[Tomb Raider]]: Legend'', where the concept of Excalibur as a [[Public Domain Artifact]] is explored.
Line 96:
* In the webcomic ''[[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 [[Recycled in Space|a starship]], a global corporation, a marshal's badge ... .
* In ''[[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, [[Always Someone Better|and rather than attempting to pull it]], he felt he instead had to break it out. [[Future Badass|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... [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|for a while]].
