Line 216:
* In one ''[[The Phantom (comic strip)|The Phantom]]'' comic, it was revealed that one of [[Legacy Character|the ancestors of]] the Phantom was a Knight of the Round Table.
* In ''[[Camelot 3000]]'', Arthur and Merlin return in the year 3000. The knights are reincarnated in various forms (Tristan is female, Perceval is a grotesque mutant).
* Matt Wagner's ''[[Mage The Hero Discovered]]'' and ''[[Mage The Hero Defined]]'' utilizes Kevin Matchstick as [[King Arthur]] reborn, Edsel as the [[Lady
* The eponymous ''[[Witchblade (Comic Book)|Witchblade]]'' is the feminine counterpart to Excalibur.
* [[Don Rosa]]'s [[Donald Duck]] story "The Once and Future Duck" has Donald, his nephews, and Gyro Gearloose traveling back in time to meet King Arthur... only this Arthur is a lot closer to the historical figure that may have inspired the legends. Once again, Don Rosa [[Shown Their Work|shows his work.]]
Line 358:
** Sent up by the real location of the Sword being hidden beneath a fake, theme-park-ride version of Arthurian myth.
* The Arthurian motifs in ''[[Ace Combat]] Zero'' deserve more than a passing mention and are significant enough for people to be able to write papers on them ? just check the page.
* ''Sonic and the Black Knight'' involves [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] as a [[Fish Out of Water]] as he is summoned the legends of Arthur, for he must save the kingdom from Arthur himself, who is now [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], with a new getup akin to [[The Lord of the Rings|Sauron]] and a very unique sword, and is ruling the land tyrannically as the eponymous Black Knight. Oh, and Merlin has a grand daughter in Merlin'''a'''. And other ''Sonic'' characters serve as the likeness for Arthurian characters: Knuckles is Gawain, Shadow is Lancelot, and Blaze is... Percival? Tails being a blacksmith and Amy being the Lady
* There are several references in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' video game series to the Arthurian legends. In Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword there is a Lord called Uther who has a brother named Hector which may be a reference to Ector, Arthur's foster father. Also in Blazing Sword, there is a tome called Excalibur. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has Gaiwain{{spoiler|, also known as Greil}}and an early sword called Ettard could be named after the Lady Ettard. In the sequel to POR, Radiant Dawn, there is a mage called Pelleas which is the name of the knight who loved the Lady Ettard. There are also the twin swords Ragnell and Alondite. Ragnell was the name of Sir Gawain's wife, Alondite is supposedly the Japanese pronounciation for Lancelot's sword, Arondight.
